The Associated Press-NORC Center for
Public Affairs Research and MeriTalk did the polling.
It found that 64 percent of Americans say their social
media activity is not secure. About as many have the
same safety concerns about online information that
shares their physical location. Half of Americans also
believe their private text messages are not
secure.They are not just concerned. They want the federal government to do something about it. Almost 75 percent of Americans say they support creating laws for how companies can collect, use and share personal data.Jennifer Benz is the head of the AP-NORC Center. "What is surprising to me is that there is a great deal of support for more government action to protect data privacy," she said.But after years of failed efforts to create stronger data privacy laws, Americans do not trust the government to fix the problem.A majority of those who took part in the poll said they have more trust in private companies than the federal government to address security and privacy issues. This comes even after years of hacks of U.S. corporations that shared the personal information of millions of people around the world."I feel there is little to no security whatsoever," said Sarah Blick. She is a professor at Kenyon College in Ohio. Officials at the college told Blick earlier this year that someone had used her identity to seekunemployment insurance money.Such fraud has greatly increased since the pandemic began.The poll answers showed that about 71 percent of Americans believe that individuals' data privacy should be treated as a national security issue. But only 23 percent are satisfied in the federal government's current efforts.

On Wednesday, American President Joe Biden
announced that the U.S. would buy 1 billion of Pfizer's
COVID-19 shots to share with the world. That was two times
the amount of his earlier promise. He also said he supported a
goal of vaccinating 70 percent of the world's population
within the next year.
Some countries have had vaccines widely available
to their populations for months. But other countries have
struggled to get supplies. The African Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention reports that four percent of the population is fully vaccinated.Ramaphosa took part in a meeting Wednesday that was called by Biden to talk about increasing efforts to vaccinate people all over the world. At that meeting, Biden announced the U.S. deal to buy an additional 500 million doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to send to other countries."Of the around 6 billion vaccine doses administered worldwide, only two percent of these have been administered in Africa, a continent of more than 1.2 billion people," Ramaphosa said. "This is
unjust and immoral."Because of the coronavirus pandemic, a number of world leaders made video presentations instead of traveling to New York to speak in person. About half of Thursday's speeches were by video.Speaking on video from Havana, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel denounced the U.S. embargo against Cuba. He said it has been made worse during the COVID-19 pandemic.Speaking at the U.N., Panama's President Laurentino Cortizo said his country has vaccinated more than half of its population. "Thanks to this, we are only weeks away from reaching herd immunity," he said.Cortizo asked for the support of the international community to deal with the large number of migrants passing through his nation. Many of the migrants are from Africa and the Caribbean islands. Cortizo said, "This is everyone's responsibility."

In Arkansas, so many employees of a hospital are claiming the exemption that the hospital says they are "bluffing."In the past, not many people used religious beliefs as a reason to avoid vaccinations. But the COVID-19 pandemic is different. Even though the vaccines are safe, protective and widely available in the U.S., many people do not want to get them. Now people are claiming the religious exemption.Many religious leaders do not object to the vaccines.There has been some concern, however, over the cell-line used by the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. The Janssen vaccine uses cells grown in a lab that came from a fetus in 1985. Johnson and Johnson has said repeatedly there is no fetal tissue in its vaccine.The Catholic church said it is "morally acceptable" for Catholics to receive vaccines that come from fetal cell research. Pope Francis said not getting a vaccine would be "suicide." He received the vaccine made by Pfizer-BioNTech.The White House said it understands people may use religion as a reason to refuse the vaccine. However, it argues, if the new rule makes more people say yes, it will save lives.In the first part of September, about 1,000 people died each day in the United States from COVID-19.In Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti said: "we will not tolerate the abuse of these exemptions by those who simply don't want to get vaccinated." People who work for the city must be vaccinated by October 5. A group of police employees who do not want the vaccine is taking legal action.In the state of Washington, Governor Jay Inslee said state employees may lose their jobs if they are not vaccinated by October 18, unless they receive an exemption. However, receiving an exemption does not guarantee people will stay employed.The state will decide if people who are not vaccinated can still do their job without putting others at risk.

The crisis has also led many Vietnamese Americans to give money to refugee resettlement groups. They are offering housing and legal assistance to arriving Afghans.Some have also said they want to offer guidance that refugees and new immigrants may need. This can include how to buy things at a food store, sign up children to go to school or how to drive a car in America.Since the Vietnam War, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese have come to the United States. They
have settled in communities from California to Virginia. Today, Vietnamese Americans are the sixth-largest immigrant group in the country.The U.S. had long announced plans to withdraw from Afghanistan after a 20-year war. But the military's final days in the country were much more dangerous than expected.
In a similar way, many Vietnamese Americans remember how they could not get out before the fall of Saigon to communism.Some faced long periods in reeducation camps as a punishment for helping the Americans who had fought in their country. Once they got out of the camps, many tried to leave the country by boat. They took extremely dangerous trips across the sea in hopes of making it to neighboring countries.Thousands of people did not survive their escape.Afghans arriving in the United States may have a special status for those who supported U.S. military operations. Some may have been sponsored to come by family members already here. Others are expected to arrive as refugees or seek permission to travel to the U.S. under a process known as humanitarian parole.For parole, Afghans need the support of a U.S. citizen or legal resident. Some Vietnamese Americans have signed up to sponsor people they have never met, said Tuan DinhJanelle. He is with the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center.Other efforts have centered on raising money for refugee resettlement groups. Vietnamese and Afghan American artists held a special music event this month in Southern California to raise money to help Afghan refugees. The Saigon Broadcasting Television Network said the event raised more than $160,000.
