As COVID-19 epidemics continue to appear in schools, resulting in the quarantine of academics and staff in some states, a new review suggests that young people would possibly play a larger role in the spread of the network of the new virus than was thought in the past.
Researchers in Massachusetts found that some young people who tested positive for COVID-19 had particularly higher degrees of viruses on their airlines than adults hospitalized in intensive care units, according to the statement released Thursday.
“Children are not immune to this infection and their symptoms do not correlate with exposure and infection,” said Dr. Alessio Fasano, the study’s director.
Meanwhile, two days after the University of North Carolina announced plans to move to online classes, university officials announced Wednesday that it would temporarily suspend all sports activities until Thursday afternoon. The announcement comes after the athletics branch said the outbreak on campus would not be the football season.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert who recommended the COVID-19 pandemic, underwent surgery Thursday to remove a polyp from his vocal cord, CNN and CNBC reported.
CNBC reported that Fauci was coming home, while CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta tweeted that Fauci had texted him to tell him we were okay and doctors told him to “reduce his speech for a while to allow his vocal cords to recover.”
Polyps on the vocal cords can cause hoarseness, so Fauci said he has struggled in months.
Six weeks after the Ivy League for not practicing fall sports, and a week and a part after Big Ten and Pac-12 made the same call, a parent organization plans to demonstrate Friday at Big Ten headquarters in suburban Chicago.
Ohio State Football’s father, Randy Wade, plans to lead an organization of what he expects to be dozens of other parents of Big Ten football, a protest that opposes the conference’s resolution of postponing football until winter or spring, assuming it is safe to play then. .
Wade, whose son Shaun is a much-loved corner of the Buckeyes, said in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon that he had heard of “between 70 and a hundred people” in the last few days at six of the 14 convention schools: Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana, Purdue, Iowa and Nebraska. How many will show up, you have no idea. He’s from Jacksonville, Florida.

State public fitness officials announced Wednesday that the flu vaccine will be required for all students 6 months of age or older attending day care, kindergartens, elementary schools, and schools or universities in Massachusetts.
The new vaccine requirement is a vital step in reducing influenza-related diseases and generally has an effect on respiratory diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Massachusetts Department of Health said. Students have until December 31 to be vaccinated unless they can provide a medical or devoted exemption.
“It’s more than ever to get a flu shot because the symptoms of influenza are very similar to those of COVID-19 and the prevention of influenza will save lives and maintain health care resources,” said Dr. Larry Madoff, the state’s medical director. .

Doctors at Mount Sinai Hospitals in New York may have discovered a new clue as to why some COVID-19 patients can’t get enough oxygen while on enthusiasts, all thanks to the sound of tiny bubbles.
A transcranial Doppler tracks blood flow in the brain and Dr. Alexandra Reynolds of Mount Sinai has created a robot edition so doctors can safely perform verification with COVID-19 patients. A bubble test, which injects a saline solution containing small air bubbles into a vein and is followed during circulation, is used to check the threat of stroke.
Normally, the capillaries of healthy lungs remove bubbles, but Reynolds saw them achieving the brains of his COVID patients. COVID-19 can cause harmful blood clots, so Dr. Hooman Poor, also in Mount Sinai, hypothesized that bubbles would possibly be avoiding blocked blood vessels and passing through giants, flowing too fast to absorb oxygen.
Although more studies are needed, Poor said the mystery of bubbles can be “essentially the missing link” of why COVID patients don’t get oxygen.

A U.S. layoff indicator It rose above one million last week, indicating that the recovery from the COVID-19-induced recession will remain volatile as outbreaks of infection subside in some states and persist in others.
Approximately 1.1 million Americans have filed their first UI claims, the Department of Labor said Thursday, up from 971,000 last week. Economists surveyed through Bloomberg estimated that 920,000 employees were in favor of jobless benefits.

World Health Organization officials in Europe said they had started talks with Russia on the RECENTLY approved COVID-19 vaccine.
Russia said last week that it had developed the world’s first effective vaccine, despite less than two months of human testing and without full final testing. NOW, WHO officials say they are in “direct talks” with Russia about what will be needed for the company to compare the potential vaccine.
President Vladimir Putin said the vaccine was safe and effective, and said even one of his daughters had been vaccinated. But Catherine Smallwood, a senior emergency civil servant at WHO Europe, said her organization was aiming to “take our time to really perceive where the vaccine is and get as much information as possible about what has already been done.”
WHO Director for Europe Dr Hans Kluge said the company welcomed all advances in vaccine progression, but that all vaccines go through the same clinical trials.
Doctors and public fitness officials are calling for COVID-19 vaccine trials to come with a large number of other people of color for protection and effectiveness.
The first two large-scale vaccine trials began nationally last July, and at least 3 more began before early fall. Each will want 30,000 volunteers, some of whom will get an active vaccine and the other a placebo. But the first trials did not diversify.
“We want to make sure there is adequate diversity in clinical trials,” said FDA commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn in a recent interview with the editor of the clinical journal JAMA.
Even if everyone’s immune formula reacts the same way to the virus, differences in attention and underlying fitness may mean other people of color react to the infection, Hahn said.
In addition to racial and ethnic diversity, maximum trials also seek out other people over the age of 65. 19.

The head of the U.S. Postal Service has no plans to oppose infrastructure adjustments that lawmakers say could interrupt the vote by mail in November, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
Pelosi said he spoke to Post Office Louis DeJoy on Wednesday and told him that “his announcement is not a solution and it is misleading.” DeJoy announced a pause in the adjustments on Tuesday until the end of the election, but did not answer the question of whether the adjustments that were already in position would be reversed.

A new study adds to the developing evidence that young people are not immune to COVID-19 and would possibly even play a bigger role in expanding the network than was thought in the past.
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and Mass General Hospital for Children found that of 192 children, 49 tested positive for coronavirus and had particularly higher degrees of viruses on their airlines than adults hospitalized in extensive care units, according to the article published Thursday in the Journal of Pediatrics. .
Dr. Alessio Fasano of the study said that some young people had symptoms, but others had no symptoms and were brought in because they had been in contact with an inflamed user or lived in what was considered a high-risk area.
“Children are an imaginable source of spread of this virus,” Fasano said. And this deserves to be taken into account in the stages of drawing up plans for the reopening of schools.”

Michigan has implemented federal investment to provide another $300 per week in unemployment amid the coronavirus pandemic, less than the $600 increase that expired last month, but even more so than the $362 maximum weekly payment paid by the state.
“This program will provide much-needed help to families who are suffering to put food on the table or pay their bills, but it’s a short-term dressing that doesn’t meet the needs,” Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said. on a Tuesday.
President Donald Trump signed an ordinance this month that extends the additional benefits of weekly earning after he and Congress were unable to settle for a new contingency plan on the occasion of a broader pandemic. States may have a $300 or $400 option depending on the week, but they would have to pay $100 for the highest amount.
The National Unemployment Insurance Agency has estimated that approximately 910,000 citizens will get another $300. They will be paid retroactively on August 1. It is known when the bills will start or how many weeks they will cover.
