Your phone camera might have another useful feature beyond taking selfies. Engineers at UC San Diego and the University of Washington published a proof-of-concept study that showed a smartphone was capable of detecting blood oxygen levels almost on par with the industry standard medical device. If you’ve ever gone into […]
Mientras los CDC trabajan para contener el brote de viruela símica actual y aprender más acerca del virus, esta información puede ayudarle a tomar decisiones fundamentadas cuando esté en situaciones o lugares donde pueda propagarse la viruela símica o del mono. La viruela símica o del mono suele transmitirse a […]
JYNNEOS vaccine is approved for prevention of smallpox and monkeypox. It is the primary vaccine being used in the U.S. during this outbreak. The JYNNEOS vaccine is given as a two-dose series. The two doses should be given 28 days apart. CDC recommends getting both doses of JYNNEOS vaccine. The […]
A new study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that the average rate of assaults with firearms increased an average of 9.5 percent relative to forecasted trends in the first 10 years after 34 states relaxed restrictions on civilians carrying concealed firearms in public. […]
On “60 Minutes” on Sunday, President Biden declared “the pandemic is over.” Well into our third year of battling COVID-19, we all wish that were true. But unfortunately, that is a fantasy right now. All the data tell us the virus is not contained. Far too many people are dying […]
Researchers used a recently developed method of wastewater genomic surveillance to detect SARS-CoV-2 infections on the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), campus during 10 months of the pandemic. The approach identified viral variants of concern as early as 2 weeks before the variants showed up in clinical tests, the […]
In 2015, leaders from 193 countries agreed to the Sustainable Development Goals—the SDGs. These were big, bold objectives we wanted to achieve by 2030, everything from ending poverty to achieving gender equality. And each year, this report attempts to answer the question, “How is the world doing?” We want people […]
Researchers have identified an antibody that broadly neutralized all tested SARS-CoV-2 subvariants as well as SARS-CoV-1 in laboratory experiments and several SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in mice. Because it targets a spike protein area that may be less affected by genetic variations, the newly discovered antibody could better retain potency against emerging […]
This site provides an integrated, county view of key data for monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. It allows for the exploration of standardized data across the country.§ The footnotes describe each data source and the methods used for calculating the metrics. For the most complete and up-to-date data […]
ACKGROUND The Ad26.COV2.S vaccine is a recombinant, replication-incompetent human adenovirus type 26 vector encoding full-length severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein in a prefusion-stabilized conformation. METHODS In an international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned adult participants in a 1:1 ratio to receive a […]
