Emerge...
Covid is on the back burner, but the politicians want to continue with the free television appearances. Just a thought.

Polls suggest the left will lose out in the city arguably leading the socialist revival in the United States.
The forces driving a likely moderate outcome in the June 22 Democratic primary are varied; many are specific to New York and to this election. But the race also contains major warning signs for progressives across the country.
If the left loses out in the city arguably leading the socialist revival in the United States, it will be, at least in part, because of dramatic infighting fueled by rigid positions on sexual and social-justice politics, as well as the generalized failure to unify behind one candidate alluded to by Ocasio-Cortez.
A poll released on Monday had Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and the former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang as the front-runners. Wiley had just 9 percent support, putting her in fifth place.
A fresher survey released Wednesday had Wiley in second, just in front of Yang and behind Adams. Both of those polls also showed the number of people supporting three different progressive candidates is the largest bloc in the city.
Boost...
In a new study, the researchers tracked 23 late middle-aged adults with an average age of 65 and examined three specific biomarkers that are involved in learning and memory. Half were assigned to follow their typical physical activity patterns (which were less than the recommended 150 minutes of aerobic activity per week) while the other half were assigned "enhanced physical activity," or 3 sessions of weekly cardio that got progressively more challenging over the course of the study.
Both the gut microbiome and the three brain metabolites tracked showed beneficial changes in the enhanced exercise group.
Overall, the findings "support the beneficial effects of exercise training on brain function and brain health in asymptomatic individuals at risk for Alzheimer's disease," Henriette van Praag, Ph.D., from Florida Atlantic University's Schmidt College of Medicine tells Florida Atlantic University's News Desk.
The best news of all: You need not run a marathon or bike a 100-mile century ride to score these brain benefits. Another recent study proves that walking 3 times per week can deliver a serious dose of dementia prevention. And if you're new to exercise on the whole, starting with just 10 minutes can truly make an impact in the fight to prevent or slow cognitive decline. So walking is a stellar place to start, and continue. Just a thought.

Consequences...
Vaccine advisers to the US Food and Drug Administration debated what kind of detailed information the agency would need to consider authorizing the use of coronavirus vaccines in children younger than 12.
Few advisers said it’s too soon to rush the use of vaccines in children because kids are at such low risk from the virus,
Dr. Cody Meissner, director of pediatric infectious diseases at Tufts University School of Medicine, said children are at low risk of severe disease from the virus and more study is needed about safety in younger age groups.
“Before we start vaccinating millions of adolescents and children, it’s important to find out what the consequences are,” Meissner said, noting a low Covid-19 hospitalization rate among children.
“As more people are immunized and become immune from infection, I think it’s likely that we are going to get this pandemic under pretty good control,” he said.
Question...
Credit..
Biden stands to benefit from being in power during the nation's emergence from the pandemic. In the president's telling, the United States' surging vaccination rate, economic recovery and the hope slowly spreading across the nation belong to him and his party alone.
Recently, Biden took an early victory lap on reaching the vaccination milestone more than a month before he promised, saying the 100 millionth dose would be administered his 59th day in office.
Where is the credit for Big Pharma, the one who spend time, efforts, and money to present the life saving vaccines to the world?.
Some companies spent the money and weren't successful of getting the product out.
What credits did you give to the hospitals that suffered the most?
Who is the Hero here?
The politicians wants to get the credit on this pandamic not sure why?
They should thank God and Big Pharma for the vaccines. Just a thought.
