It appears the coronavirus is mutating in the U.S. Researchers became aware of this mutation when Houston saw an influx of cases in June, where a form of COVID-19 that was found in other parts of the world and was known to be particularly contagious began to dominate the city’s confirmed cases. A new study covered […]
In a conclusion that should be no shock to stressed-out poor people, workers holding multiple jobs just to live paycheck-to-paycheck, renters with obnoxious ass roommates they’re forced to depend upon, and literally thousands of other hypotheticals we could both come up to continue belaboring the point, a new report found that money may indeed buy […]
A study conducted by Yangzhou University in China suggests that the act of flushing a public toilet could potentially spread coronavirus to the next person who uses that same stall, the Washington Post reports. “Flushing will lift the virus up from the toilet bowl,” co-author Ji-Xiang Wang said via email. And here’s the part where it gets disgusting, and potentially turns […]
The anti-malaria drug that Donald Trump has praised as a treatment for coronavirus patients has been linked to increased death rates and heart risks, a study finds. CNN reports that seriously ill patients with coronavirus who were given the drug were actually more likely to die, despite what Trump has said. The large observational study took into account […]
A new study shows that if the U.S. had enforced social distancing guidelines one week earlier in March, around 36,000 fewer people would have died from COVID-19. The research comes from Columbia University disease modelers who say if the country had started issuing lockdowns on March 1, two weeks before many stay-at-home orders had taken effect, […]
Two studies published in the journal Science on Wednesday suggest monkeys that recovered after becoming infected with COVID-19 appear to develop an immunity to the virus, Reuters reports. One study involved researchers at Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) infecting nine monkeys with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and re-exposing them after they had recovered about one […]
In a new study published in the journal Infection, Genetics and Evolution, scientists at University College London’s Genetics Institute suggest that the coronavirus began spreading between humans late last year. The report, which studied over 7,500 samples from a global database of patients with SARS-CoV-2, discovered a common ancestor among a large proportion of the genetic […]
A new study conducted by the Los Alamos National Laboratory has identified a new strain of the coronavirus that appears to be more contagious than previous versions that spread during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Los Angeles Times reports. Researchers found that this new strain, called D614G. could also make people more vulnerable […]
Hydroxychloroquine, the drug that Donald Trump touted as “one of the biggest game changers” in the search for a cure for COVID-19, appears to be doing more harm than good, the Associated Press reports. In a study conducted on 368 male veterans who were admitted to Veterans Health Administration medical centers after contracting the coronavirus, about […]
A new study claims that COVID-19, popularly known as coronavirus, can be transmitted from a further distance than previously thought, and last longer on certain surfaces than originally suspected. In a paper for the Practical Preventive Medicine journal obtained by the South China Morning Post, epidemiologists for China’s government concluded that someone can still become infected with coronavirus, even if they stick to […]
