- Being a loud talker may help people hear you, but it can also help make them deathly ill.
According to Business Insider, a mere minute of loud speech can produce over 1,000 coronavirus-containing droplets.
A new study has found these droplets can linger in the air for eight-plus minutes, presenting what the authors call a "likely mode of disease transmission."
The research also suggests that louder speech produces a higher number of droplets.
What's more, those droplets can then remain in the air for eight minutes or longer.
The study found that droplets from speech shrink to between 20% and 34% of their original size after they're released into the air.
That slows down the speed at which they fall to ground, meaning they can remain in the air for several minutes.

- Description
- Given their overlapping symptoms, the seasonal flu and the novel coronavirus COVID-19 seem to lend themselves to an easy comparison.
But according to Business Insider, it's not that simple.
A new report from two doctors says comparing the death tolls from the flu and COVID-19 can lead to "inaccurate" conclusions.
That's because the number of influenza deaths is always an estimation, and the number of deaths from COVID-19 is delayed and likely undercounted.
The authors say such conclusions can cause people to underplay the pandemic's threat.
During the week of April 14 to 21, there were 15,455 COVID-19 deaths in the US.
However, the average number of counted flu deaths during the peak week of influenza seasons from 2013 to 2020 was 752.
That's more than a twentyfold difference.

- More than 250,000 weight-loss procedures are performed in the United States each year.
Bariatric surgery can be a life saving tool to help super- or morbidly obese people lose weight.
Now, a new study reveals losing even a little weight before weight loss surgery can reduce the risk of fatal complications from the procedure.
Body mass index is a common measure of obesity, which affects more than 40% of American adults.
During the first month after surgery, people with BMIs of 40 and higher were up to five times more likely to die than those with lower BMIs.
According to UPI, patients who were able to reduce their body weight by 10% or more before the operation reduced their risk of death by more than 40%.

- Description
- A new review of research reveals "cytokine storms" are key in causing coronavirus cases to go from mild to severe.
According to Business Insider, the so-called 'storms' are an overly aggressive reaction from the patient's own immune system.
The reaction prompts white blood cells to attack healthy lung tissue, resulting in life-threatening damage.
This response was also characteristic of patients who died of H1N1, SARS, MERS, and the 1918 flu.
While older people and those with preexisting health problems are more likely to develop severe cases, children can experience them as well.
Knowing when to block a cytokine storm could be critical to preventing coronavirus deaths.

According to Business Insider, a new survey from the Federal Reserve revealed sobering news about the most vulnerable sector of the population.
In total, 19% of all adults reported losing a job, having hours reduced, or taking unpaid leave in March.
But nearly 40% of people working in February with a household income below $40,000 reported that they'd lost a job in March.
This drop in work was also reflected in incomes, which fell 23% during the month.
Last week's April jobs report showed that 20.5 million jobs were erased in the month, and that the unemployment rate spiked to 14.7%.
That's the highest since the Great Depression. Job losses were most concentrated in leisure and hospitality, which typically offers low paid work.

Bezos is currently worth an estimated $143 billion, thanks to a $28 billion bump in 2020, according to Bloomberg. Bezos' wealth is growing rapidly as Amazon faces increasing criticism from employees and lawmakers over its labor practices, and as the company ended its $2 hourly pay raise for warehouse workers during the pandemic.

UBI is the government guarantee that each person receives a minimum amount of money. Yang’s nonprofit, Human Forward, partnered with a local community center in New York to give 20 residents $500 a month for five years. The U.S. recently had to test UBI by giving each qualifying person $1,200 during the coronavirus pandemic. With The Emergency Money for the People Act, Congress is looking to continue the practice by giving Americans $2,000 for 12 months.

He said: “I don’t think you’re the one person who gets to make a decision.” Paul questions the accuracy of models predicting the pandemic’s path and thinks it’s a mistake to not reopen schools. Fauci said: “I think we’d better be careful that we are not cavalier in thinking that children are completely immune to the deleterious effects.” The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases then said he’s simply there to advise on health and nothing more.

- There's a growing gap in the rates of death from heart disease in the United States.
New research shows the death rate between urban and rural areas of the United States has doubled in the last two decades.
According to UPI, that's in spite of continued improvement across the country to survival rates.
Just under half of more than 16.1 million deaths linked to cardiovascular conditions from 1999 to 2017 occurred in large metro areas.
In contrast, rural dwellers also saw declines in life expectancy and slower reductions to heart-linked mortality rates over that period.

- Often called wear-and-tear arthritis, osteoarthritis causes cartilage, the natural cushioning between joints, to wear away.
That can produce enormous pain for the OA sufferer, especially in the knees.
Now, UPI reports specially designed shoes can dramatically reduce that pain.
Researchers found biomechanical footwear -- special shoes with a novel sole -- reduced pain by more than 60 percent.
These findings provide strong evidence supporting the effectiveness of a new treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Prof. Dr. David Felson Boston University School of Medicine
