- Faced with growing meat shortages thanks to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, Americans are turning to Mother Nature for food.
The National Rifle Association has lobbied state governors to keep state lands open to allow people to hunt for food.
Firearm manufacturers have reported sales increases, and the FBI carried out a record 3.74 million background checks in March.
According to Reuters, game and fish agencies across the nation have reported an increase in either hunting license sales, permit applications, or both.
Wildlife experts expect a resurgence in hunting after grocery store meat shelves emptied for the first time during March and April.
People are starting to consider self-reliance and where their food comes from. We’re all born hunters. Hank Forester Quality Deer Management Association

- A handful of young patients with mild coronavirus cases in New York hospitals have experienced large-vessel strokes.
According to Business Insider, a new report reveals the patients were at low risk for strokes.
Such strokes occur when a blood clot travels from the body into an artery in the brain.
The stroke-causing clots may be a result of coronavirus-induced swelling in blood vessels.
Dr. Thomas Oxley, MD, is a neurosurgeon at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, and published the report.
Oxley said that since first speaking out about these stroke cases, he's been flooded with emails from other coronavirus patients describing minor strokes.

- LONDON (Reuters) - The British government sought on Sunday to deflect questions over a coronavirus death toll that is Europe’s second worst after Italy, with officials saying it would take a long time before the full picture became clear. Deaths rose to 28,446 as of May 2 - just short of Italy - increasing pressure on the government which has been accused of acting too slowly in the early stages of the outbreak. Cabinet minister Michael Gove, leading a daily coronavirus briefing, sidestepped a question on whether many lives could have been saved if mass testing had been rolled out earlier.

Reuters reports a judge dismissed their lawsuit against a New York City hospital for allegedly failing to provide safety equipment.
The New York State Nurses Association sued Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.
Among other things, the lawsuit claimed the hospital was ignoring requirements that healthcare workers receive an N95 respirator mask daily.
The judge granted Montefiore’s motion to dismiss the case, saying he lacked authority to address the nurses’ concerns.
But he urged both sides to “continue their efforts to reach an amicable resolution of their disputes.”

- The novel coronavirus COVID-19 is believed to be mainly spread through droplets released from sneezing or coughing.
However, it can also remain on surfaces in the home and in workplaces. Hence, regular cleaning is necessary.
According to Business Insider, ridding the virus from surfaces is a two-step process: cleaning and disinfecting.
Cleaning involves wiping down a surface with soap and a rag. Disinfecting involves applying a chemical to kill off any germs.
But a professional biohazard cleaner says people often forget the first step and spray disinfectant right away.
Not only that, they use the same, germy rag to wipe down surfaces all around the house. That's useless.
Once that towel or rag that you're using is full of germs, it's not going to absorb anymore. Cory Chalmers CEO, Steri-Clean Professional Cleaning Service

They believe that he failed “to act quickly and decisively” in the face of the health emergency, which has killed 60,000 people in the U.S.
In 2016 Trump reportedly scrambled Robert Redford’s words to make it seem as if he'd endorsed Trump's presidency.
In the past, Redford called Trump's presidency a “monarchy in disguise.”
But, the duo also said that the overall global response to coronavirus is a positive note.
They said, "(It has) shown us the power of sound science, true leadership and early action.”

- According to Reuters, for the first time on Friday Joe Biden denied that he sexually assaulted his former Senate aide.
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee told MSNBC, “No, It is not true. I’m saying unequivocally it never, ever happened.”
Tara Reade, of California was Biden's staff assistant in his U.S. Senate office from December 1992 to August 1993.
In media interviews she's alleged that Biden pinned her against a wall in 1993, put his hands under her skirt and touched her.
Before the MSNBC interview, Biden asked the U.S. Senate to allow the National Archives to release any personnel records, which would show if Reade filed a complaint against him, saying that he would not question her motive.
Reuters was unable to contact Reade or her representative for comment.

- The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added six new symptoms to its list for the novel coronavirus COVID-19 last week.
They include chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and loss of taste or smell.
But according to UPI, new research released Thursday says there may be even more symptoms that present with the dangerous disease.
Irish researchers observed that patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 infections are experiencing abnormal blood clotting.
They reported that in some cases, the clotting played a role in the death of these patients.
A small study in Italy also found that some 20% of COVID-19 patients develop skin rashes or lesions.

- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend wearing a cloth face-covering in public to prevent spreading COVID-19.
In fact, wearing one is mandatory in cities like New York and San Francisco.
According to Business Insider, it's important to keep your mask clean in order to maximize its effectiveness.
Be sure to have several masks on hand that can be rotated out, so a clean one is always available.
Cloth masks can be machine or hand-washed. Be sure to use a heavy-duty detergent like Persil or Tide.
However, disposable masks made from non-woven fibers, KN95, and N95 masks cannot be safely cleaned at home.
The CDC says if you have a KN95 or N95 mask, they can be worn up to five times by the same person.

- A recently published review of 78 previous COVID-19 studies led some news outlets to jump to conclusions.
According to Business Insider, some media organizations reported that children cannot transmit COVID-19.
The first articles to cover the review said there was no evidence to date that any children had passed the virus on to adults.
But researcher Alasdair Munro insists their findings were misunderstood, and that adults can indeed contract the virus from children.
The evidence does show that children are far less likely to get gravely ill with COVID-19, and the death rate among them is low.

- Description
- Cancer patients who are uninsured or are on Medicaid benefit less from experimental treatments.
According to UPI, this is true even if they get into clinical trials.
New research reveals Medicaid beneficiaries and the uninsured are only 23% more likely to achieve added survival from an experimental treatment.
People with private health insurance, however, are 66% more likely to derive added survival from interventions still under investigation.
The findings suggest that the uninsured and those on Medicaid effectively might be excluded from clinical trials because the costs aren't reimbursed.
Therefore, Columbia University researchers say patients don't have access to the potentially beneficial approaches being investigated.
