CNN)In the midst of an aggressive course of treatment for coronavirus, President Donald Trump left the hospital with his security detail Sunday so he could ride in an SUV past supporters cheering him on outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Americans are dying alone in their hospital rooms because family can’t have contact but Trump can demand a driver and security detail for a little propaganda ride.

Alas, the truth has done little to dissuade QAnon believers from the fictions of their conspiracy mythology. Unsurprisingly, the “Pizzagate” conspiracy that was QAnon’s forerunner should have fallen apart when an adherent wielded an assault rifle in a Washington pizzeria because he believed Hillary Clinton and her associates were running a child sex ring in its basement. The gunman found no Clinton, no children and no basement – and yet the themes of the conspiracy endure, and internationally. Yes, we have a QAnon problem in Australia now, too. Read more… H. RES. 1154 Condemning QAnon and rejecting the conspiracy theories it promotes. IN THE HOUSE […]

New Theory Of How COVID-19 Infects Humans A Supercomputer Analyzed Covid-19 — and an Interesting New Theory Has Emerged by @tomsmith585 in @elemental https://t.co/5k43HLJsFN — Carol Duff (@CarolDuff18) September 10, 2020 Health Editor’s Note: The Oak Ridge National Lab’s Summit supercomputer put together data of more than 40,000 genes from 17,000 genetic samples to try to better understand COVID-19 and how it infects people. After analyzing 2.5 billion genetic combinations the a new hypothesis evolved to explain many of the bizarre symptoms associated with COVID-19 and potential treatments. The new findings are that the virus enters the nose through the many ACE2 receptors […]

Health Editor’s Note: And just when you thought the COVID-19 news could not get worse….Carol Initial COVID-19 infection rate may be 80 times greater than originally reported by Jordan Ford/Penn State News UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Many epidemiologists believe that the initial COVID-19 infection rate was undercounted due to testing issues, asymptomatic and alternatively symptomatic individuals, and a failure to identify early cases. Now, a new study from Penn State estimates that the number of early COVID-19 cases in the U.S. may have been more than 80 times greater and doubled nearly twice as fast as originally believed. In a paper […]

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has registered 34 PAM infections in the country between 2009-2018. Florida has seen 37 cases since 1962. The Florida Department of Health (DoH) announced on Friday that it had registered a case of infection by Naegleria fowleri, a microscopic single-celled amoeba that causes a brain infection known as ‘primary amebic meningoencephalitis’ (PAM), in Hillsborough County. “One person contracted Naegleria fowleri in […]
Fever checks are a flawed way to flag Covid-19 cases. Experts say smell tests might help by Sharon Begley/STATnews Workplaces do it. Newly reopened public libraries do it. LAX does it. Some restaurants, bars, and retail stores started doing it when governors let them serve customers again: Use temperature checks — almost always with “non-contact infrared thermometers” — to identify people who might have, and therefore spread, the infectious disease. Unfortunately, temperature checks could well join the long list of fumbled responses to the pandemic, from the testing debacle to federal officials’ about-face on masks. Because many contagious people have no […]
New study finds troubling signs of “brain complications” in severe COVID-19 cases by Elizabeth Elkind/CBS News A new coronavirus study out of the United Kingdom found troubling signs of brain complications in patients with severe COVID-19. The study, published in The Lancet Psychiatry journal, looked at 153 patients who were hospitalized with severe cases of the disease, and found that 125 of them experienced a range of neurological and psychiatric complications that may be linked to the coronavirus. “The patients survived, but they survived with residual effects of having had the nervous system affected by this virus,” Dr. Bob Lahita told CBSN anchors Vladimir […]

First Molecular Profiles of Severe COVID-19 Infections Dr. Francis Collins/NIH To ensure that people with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) get the care they need, it would help if a simple blood test could predict early on which patients are most likely to progress to severe and life-threatening illness—and which are more likely to recover without much need for medical intervention. Now, researchers have provided some of the first evidence that such a test might be possible. This tantalizing possibility comes from a study reported recently in the journal Cell. In this study, researchers took blood samples from people with mild to severe […]
