- In the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in the US, many independent doctors offices say they've been left in the dark.

What's more, they've heard little from the federal or state governments about if or when they might receive doses.
Independent primary care providers have been totally left out of distribution channels and have no line of sight for when they might receive a vaccine supply. Dr. Emily Maxson Chief Medical Officer, Aledade
Sources say hospitals, large retail pharmacies, and federally-qualified health centers are the main distributors of the vaccine.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says nearly 9 million individuals in the US have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.
That's 11 million people less than the Trump administration's estimate of 20 million vaccinated Americans by the end of 2020.

- Cat Parasite Linked To Common Human Brain Cancer

- Description
- The common parasite Toxoplasma gondii is spread to people through undercooked pork and occasionally domestic cats.
Chronic T. gondii infections are linked to an increased risk of schizophrenia, lowered cognition, and behavioral changes like more risk-taking and aggression.
Now, scientists say the parasite might have more insidious health effects than previously suspected.
Gizmodo reports new research suggests a link between Toxoplasma gondii infection and an increased risk of gliomas, the most common form of brain cancer.
The US sees 24,000 new cases of brain cancer annually, while 11% of Americans over age six carry T. gondii--upwards of 30 million people.
So even if the connection is real, the chances of getting brain cancer as a result of chronic T. gondii infection are very low on an individual level.

- A relative handful of Americans have received the vaccine to protect against the novel coronavirus.
But according to HuffPost, it's unclear if those lucky few can still pass along the virus to others, even if they themselves aren't infected.
Likewise, it's important to remember that even after getting the jab, it takes the body at least a month to build up its immunity to COVID-19.
Therefore, it's essential to continue following proven public health measures, like universal masking, handwashing, and physical distancing.
Experts say Americans shouldn't start to relax on observing these measures until roughly 70% of the population has been vaccinated.

- 5 years ago
- Description
- Beijing is seeing a surge in coronavirus cases.
The Chinese capital has reported its second consecutive day of record new numbers of COVID-19 cases.
The recent outbreak has been traced to Xinfadi, a wholesale food market that accounts for 80% of Beijing’s farm produce.
Xinfadi is a complex that is 20 times larger than the seafood market in Wuhan where the virus originated.
The market has been shuttered and tens of thousands of nearby residents are being tested for the virus.
Some schools in the area have begun to suspend classes.
“The risk of the epidemic spreading is very high, so we should take resolute and decisive measures,” Xu Hejiang
Beijing city government Spokesman

- Pangolins Could Be A Missing Link In Coronavirus Chain Of Contagion
- Date posted
- 5 years ago
- Description
- Scientists around the world are working at breakneck speed to contain, cure, and understand the novel coronavirus.
The upper respiratory virus COVID-19 has already infected more than 7.8 million people worldwide and is sometimes deadly.
According to Gizmodo, the question of how the coronavirus began to infect humans still remains unanswered.
The most likely scenario is that it was transmitted to humans via animals, in a process known as species jumping.
The WHO says bats are to blame, but some studies suggest that the virus went from bats to humans via an intermediate source, such as pangolins.
Unfortunately, the adorable little creatures are among the most heavily trafficked species on the planet.

- These Days, Comfort Food May As Well Be Re-Branded As Survival Food
- Date posted
- 5 years ago
- Description
- The novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has led to skyrocketing sales of comfort foods such as hot dogs, pizza, and processed snacks.
Some have tied the rising sales to nostalgia and a desire for psychological nurturing.
But according to Business Insider, the products' long shelf lives and relatively inexpensive price tags also play a massive role.
Take, for example, the humble yet beloved hot dog.
Parents who have suddenly lost childcare still need to find a way to feed their children, often while continuing to work.
Hot dogs are quick to prepare, convenient to make, and have a long, long shelf life.
Unfortunately, food prices are rising just when millions of Americans are out of work and are trying to cut costs.

- Description
- Following a weeks-long lull in new coronavirus COVID-19 cases, Beijing has recorded dozens of new cases in recent days.
According to Reuters, all the new cases have been linked to a major wholesale food market in the city.
On Sunday night Beijing ordered all companies to supervise 14-day home quarantine for employees who have visited the Xinfadi market.
The same applies to any employees who have been in contact with anyone who visited the market.
At least 10 Chinese cities, including Harbin and Dalian, have urged residents not to travel to the capital.
As in other countries, China hopes to stop a second wave from emerging after easing lockdowns that hammered its economy earlier this year.

- Three Things To Think About If You're Yearning To Ditch The City For The 'Burbs
- Date posted
- 5 years ago
- Description
- The lockdown restrictions imposed by the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has changed the thinking of many city dwellers.
According to Business Insider, demand for homes in the suburbs has skyrocketed, driven by urbanites seeking more living space.
But real estate professional Alison Bernstein says that before making the leap, would-be suburbanites should consider three important factors.
First, school rankings don't give the whole picture of a community. Do your research, and learn how the district has changed in the past ten years.
Second, cities usually offer childcare that is cheaper and in greater quantity than the suburbs. Research your options and factor costs into your budget.
Finally, think about your commute to work. Will you be working remotely, or relying on your car or a train?

- You Can't Make A Zit Disappear, But Here's How To Make It Less Noticeable
- Date posted
- 5 years ago
- Description
- It's Monday morning and you're getting ready for your Zoom meeting. Oh, no! A zit!
According to Allure, there are a number of ways to reduce the appearance of a pimple.
But rule number one is this: Don't pop it! That can lead to infection and scarring.
First, use an OTC hydrocortisone cream as a spot treatment. The more you pile on and the longer you let it sit, the more effective it'll be. 15 minutes is ideal.
Second, dab some Visine or other eyedrops designed to reduce eye redness. It'll tame the inflammation from the blemish.
And if hormones trigger breakouts, get a 2% salicylic acid face wash. Use it a week before you're 'scheduled' to break out, and that should help.
