New coronavirus patients in China show symptoms possibly suggesting virus is changing
New coronavirus patients in northeastern China are reportedly taking longer to recover from the virus and to exhibit symptoms than patients from the original outbreak in Wuhan, one of China’s top doctors told state TV on Tuesday. Dr. Qiu Haibo, who is taking care of patients in the northeast, said the more than two-week incubation period is making it difficult to keep the virus from spreading and could indicate the virus is changing, Bloomberg reported.
Amid concerns of a so-called "second wave" of the coronavirus pandemic, a new study suggests that intermittent lockdowns followed by periods of easing could be an "effective strategy for reducing the number of COVID-19-related deaths."
A World Health Organization database on attacks on health care makes no mention of the silencing of doctors who sought to sound the alarm on the novel coronavirus by the Chinese government — something critics say is the latest sign of the embattled agency’s pro-China bias.
President Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding from Michigan and Nevada over their decisions to enact widespread mail-in voting in the upcoming election because of the coronavirus pandemic. The president argues the moves were "done illegally" and will lead to voter fraud.
A debt-ridden, rural Tennessee hospital that’s been shuttered since June 2019 received more than $121,000 in federal coronavirus relief funds, according to reports. Jamestown TN Medical Center Inc. received $121,722 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Provider Relief Fund, according to a list of hospitals around the country given federal COVID-19 aid published on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website.
U.S. births continued to fall last year, leading to the fewest number of newborns in 35 years, according to a new CDC report. Some experts believe the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the economy will suppress the numbers further.
