Birds need to refuel occasionally during their long migrations and if food along the way is in short supply some don’t make it. However, mass deaths caused by starvation during the flight have generally been pretty rare. That is, until this year. Thousands of birds migrating from the Arctic tundra to America’s south-west have recently dropped dead in states such as New Mexico, Texas and Colorado as a result, it is believed, of climate change and the unprecedented wildfires it has caused, according to the Guardian which cited remarks made by Martha Desmond, a biology professor at New Mexico State University […]

Black American history began with the importation of slaves from Africa by the first white settlers more than four hundred years ago. Yet neither the nineteenth century civil war that killed more Americans than all of the country’s foreign wars, nor the legislative […]

Maine’s biggest COVID-19 outbreak is linked to a wedding officiated by the pastor of a distancing-defying church who says masks are part of a “socialistic platform.” Now more than 144 COVID-19 patients have been linked to the event, and three people are dead. Todd Bell is pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church in Sanford, Maine. Famous for flying between ministries in multiple states on his private plane (God “burdened” his heart to do airplane ministry, he says), Bell flew in to officiate a rural Maine wedding on August 7.

Wind Turbines Versus Flying Wildlife Researchers found that painting one blade black was enough to encourage the birds to alter their flight path. https://t.co/OO28vF33Wo — Smithsonian Magazine (@SmithsonianMag) August 27, 2020 Health Editor’s Note: Wind turbines are a source of renewable energy and many countries have come to rely on this non-fossil fuel burning form of energy. A big draw back to wind turbines is that collisions with wind turbines yearly cause thousands of deaths to flying wildlife. Powerlines also cause deaths to birds. Placing these turbines far from migratory paths would go a long way towards avoiding harming wildlife. Painting […]

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). The USPS is vital for poultry farmers, due to the fact that no privately-owned companies ship live animals by mail. 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 […]

With a collapsing economy, mounting COVID-19 deaths, and sinking poll numbers, President Donald Trump on Tuesday night used a primetime interview to sound the alarm over what will surely go down in history as one of the worst atrocities of the 21st century: “all the birds” that keep getting sucked up and devoured by windmills. While the president spent part of his interview with pro-Trump Fox News host Sean Hannity discussing the apparent bird-killing qualities of windmills, he found no time to say anything about the nearly 165,000 Americans who have died from coronavirus.

If someone had suggested five months ago that we would be seeing more than 3 million cases and 135,000 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. by mid-July, I wouldn’t have believed it.

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 […]

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, […]

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.

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 […]
