Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times/The Guardian. ‘Homelessness Is Lethal.’ The number of Americans dying while homeless has surged dramatically in the past five years, an exclusive analysis by the Guardian in conjunction with an academic expert at the University of Washington has shown. An examination of 20 US urban areas found the number of deaths among people living without housing shot up by 77% in the five years ending in 2020. The rise from 2016 through 2020 was driven by many factors, including ever-rising numbers […]
Was it the space heater on the third floor? The open door on the 15th floor? The faulty fire alarms that went off frequently? The nonexistent sprinkler system?

As local and national corporate media covered the devastating fire in the Bronx that killed 17 people on January 9, two culprits were somehow never on the list of what and who was responsible: the landlord and the city’s Housing, Preservation and Development (HPD) department, which is responsible for making sure landlords comply with housing codes. Always under suspicion were the tenants themselves, who were […]

Birds need to refuel occasionally during their long migrations and if food along the way is in short supply some don’t make it.

Poultry farmers in Maine are denouncing a massive increase in incidents of baby chicks dying en route to their farms, attributing the fatalities to operational changes recently implemented by the US Postal Service (USPS).

Since Maine has no hatcheries of its own, the state relies on shipments from other places to meet its poultry needs. The chicks recently shipped via USPS mail that arrived dead have already cost Maine farmers thousands of dollars in losses, not to mention the sadness and […]

Here a security guard checks temperatures on Feb. 26 in Beijing. Does the COVID-19 virus operate differently in capitalist countries than in socialist countries? Based on a comparison of global numbers of fatalities, COVID-19 seems to appear in a more virulent form in capitalist countries. But is this even possible? The impact of COVID-19 in capitalist countries is more than 20 to 50 times […]

A “system failure”, throughout the process in providing medication, at hospitals, primary care facilities and care homes, is unnecessarily costing people’s health and well-being, according to Professor Rachel Elliot who co-author a new study on medication error in England.

Health Editor’s Note: Very early in this pandemic nursing homes and facilities closed their doors to visitors. This was a good move. What went lacking was the fact that the healthcare workers, who would leave at the end of their shift and return the next day, were out and about and being exposed to coronavirus. Since this virus could be spread by anyone who had it, even if there were no symptoms of illness, an infected worker could unknowingly spread the virus to the most fragile of our population. Once the virus was loose in a place where all the residents […]
Coronavirus: Sweden’s Tegnell admits too many died BBC News Sweden’s controversial decision not to impose a strict lockdown in response to the Covid-19 pandemic led to too many deaths, the man behind the policy, Anders Tegnell, has acknowledged.

Dr Tegnell told Swedish radio more should have been done early on. “There is quite obviously a potential for improvement in what we have done.” Sweden has counted 4,542 deaths and 40,803 infections in a population of 10 million, while Denmark, […]
Since the beginning of this year, Florida has experienced an uptick in the number of pneumonia and influenza deaths, according to data from the Centers for Disease and Control.

With New York Governor Andrew Cuomo facing scrutiny over his treatment of nursing homes during his Covid-19 response, he turned to celebrities Chris Rock and Rosie Perez to help him sell his latest order regarding the pandemic. ‘Grown Ups’ star and ‘Birds of Prey’ actress joined Cuomo at his Thursday press conference where the governor announced a new executive order allowing businesses to deny service to people not wearing masks. “You don’t want to wear a mask?

As COVID-19 advanced across the globe, most countries reacted by instituting shelter-in-place and lock-down strategies. As those curbs now begin to ease, the world is on edge at the prospect of a resurgent wave of infections. Models and speculation are rife, but facts remain scarce. Which is why the events in Wisconsin on April 7, and their eventual impact, are so important. On that day, citizens who wished to exercise their right to vote in the state’s political primary were forced to go in person to the polls.

Mexico hits new virus record of over 500 deaths per day by Associated Press MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s health department reported 501 deaths from the coronavirus Tuesday, a new one-day high and the first time the figure exceeded 500.

Two months ago, on March 17, 2020, we reported that the controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Niall McCrae and David Kurten The death toll from the coronavirus pandemic shows startling variation, some countries having rates of less than ten per million, while western Europe and the USA are in the hundreds. Among the likely reasons are ecological (high population density and urbanisation), demographic (ageing and multicultural societies) and clinical (obesity and chronic disease such as diabetes mellitus). Also, there are significant differences in diagnostic practice and recording. However, a factor that hasn’t been considered is the flu vaccine, which is widely administered to the elderly. Some correlation with Covid-19 mortality, although not necessarily causal, is readily apparent. […]

New York City’s stay at home order has been criticized as unsustainable, but the policy has one apparent benefit: it has helped reduce the number of pedestrian deaths to zero for nearly 60 days in a row. Like many other cities across the world, the Big Apple chose to close non-essential businesses and prohibit most outdoor activity in a bid to reduce the spread of coronavirus, which has struck New York particularly hard. While there is still debate about the effectiveness and sustainability of such measures, keeping people indoors has resulted in 58 consecutive days since a pedestrian was fatally struck […]
