Long Haulers...

 

.Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms can last weeks or months for some people. These patients, given the name "long haulers", have in theory recovered from the worst impacts of COVID-19 and have tested negative. However, they still have symptoms.  

Researchers estimate about 10% of COVID-19 patients become long haulers, according to a recent article from The Journal of the American Medical Association,

This condition can effect anyone – old and young, otherwise healthy people and those battling other conditions. It has been seen in those who were hospitalized with COVID-19 and patients with very mild symptoms.

Common symptoms include brain fog, fatigue, pain, immune issues, and malaise after exercise.

Scientists are beginning to study whether the coronavirus may create post-viral issues such as myalgic encephalomyelitis, which is also known as chronic fatigue syndrome. 

Character...

 

The Emmy-winning Cuomo Show has been canceled.

The star of the show, embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, spent half an hour  yukking it up with representatives of the Mets and Yankees at a press conference in which the press was not allowed to ask any questions. 

Cuomo said he would no longer answer questions about sexual harassment or nursing homes, under investigation at the state and federal level.

 He was a national phenomenon and now facing calls for his resignation even as the state Assembly has begun looking into possible impeachment proceedings.

Aspirin...

 

A daily dose of aspirin may help reduce the risk of serious 

complications from COVID-19.  That’s according to researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine.  

The researchers examined the records of 412 adults with COVID-19 who were admitted to hospitals across the United States between March and July.  Slightly more than 23 percent of the people who were studied were given a daily low dose of aspirin within 24 hours of their admission to the hospital or in the 7 days prior to their admission.    

The researchers reported that people taking aspirin were 44 percent less likely to be put on a ventilator and 43 percent less likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).   The researchers also reported that those who took aspirin had a 47 percent decrease in risk of dying from COVID-19 when compared with those studied who were not taking a daily dose of aspirin.

The Name...

 

A senior member of Russia’s parliament on Thursday said the U.S. should apologize after President Biden said he agreed that Russian President Vladimir Putin was a killer, and the official indicated that the Kremlin could take additional action after recalling its ambassador to the U.S.

What do we call the invasion of Libya under Obama/Biden time?

The US military claimed it had no knowledge of civilian casualties. On 19 March 2011, a multi-state NATO-led coalition began a military intervention in Libya, to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973, in response to events during the First Libyan Civil War.

Action...

 

As the president looks to undo his predecessor’s immigration policies, he is hoping for cooperation from a Mexican counterpart who was a contributor to them.

Don't be angry at me, I was told to do that.  Just a thought.

Emergency approval...

The U.S. could begin vaccinating older kids against Covid-19 this fall while elementary-aged children may start getting their shots early next year, White House Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anthony Fauci told lawmakers on Wednesday.

 "For high school students, it looks like they will be available to get vaccinated in the beginning of the fall, very likely for the fall term," Fauci told lawmakers during a hearing with the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Fauci said researchers will likely have enough data on immunizations for younger children — 12 and under — to begin giving them shots in the first quarter of 2022, Fauci said.

The Food and Drug Administration authorized the vaccines from Moderna and Johnson & Johnson's for people ages 18 and older, while Pfizer's vaccine can be used in people as young as 16.

Dr. Fauci never said the vaccines are under Emergency Approval at this time. Many unknown to the long term side effect or duration of protection. Just a thought.
