Utah officials announced 888 new cases, a one-day record for the state, which is still awaiting reports from some regional fitness districts.
A new paper published Thursday in the medical journal Health Affairs estimates that at least 42% of workers running in U. S. schools are estimated to be in the middle of the world. But it’s not the first time They are most at risk of serious cases of Covid-19, a significant build-up of past threat tests for school workers.
Nearly 10 million adults paint in schools across the United States, adding teachers, principals, and staff, authors estimate. Previous studies have focused on teachers, concluding that about a quarter of them, or 1. 5 million, suffer from diseases that place them at the top. threat of serious coronavirus headaches.
The new study was expanded to read about all school employees, knowledge of a family survey that collects detailed knowledge about the health, socioeconomics, and employment of American families. The survey is conducted annually through the Federal Agency for The Research and Quality of Health Care, a department of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists several points that put others at the highest threat of severe Covid-19 cases, adding obesity, diabetes, central illness, and being 65 or older. that at least 42% of school painters fall into at least one of these categories.
Obesity was the main thing that broadened the threat point for school employees, the authors reported, and staff were more likely than teachers or principals to be at maximum threat.
The authors did not draw general conclusions about the desirability of reopening classrooms, describing their findings on the number of school workers threatened as “a piece of the puzzle. “They noted that the application of methods through the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine can help mitigate the threat of virus spread in schools.
California President Nancy Pelosi doubled demands for a $2. 2 trillion stimulus bill on Thursday, even as White House officials requested a smaller package that sparked little enthusiasm among Democratic leaders.
“It’s hard to see how we can approve of a decline when we see the wonderful needs,” Pelosi said at a press conference Thursday to call for more relief as the country approaches 200,000 pandemic deaths. the White House through decreasing its overall order from more than $1 trillion, to the $3. 4 trillion relief bill approved through the House in May.
At the White House, Mark Meadows, the White House staff leader, said Pelosi’s $2. 2 trillion request “is not a negotiation. “
“It’s an ultimatum,” he reports.
Backed by most sensitive Democrats, Pelosi continued to keep company in the numbers despite the moderate Democrats’ developing considerations that the stagnation of some other bailout will last until the November election, depriving American families and businesses of critical aid. Some of them were frustrated last week when Pelosi’s main lieutenants temporarily set fire to a $1. 5 trillion engagement framework presented through a bipartisan organization of lawmakers in an attempt to break the stalemate.
However, President Trump said he was open to the proposal, presented through a coalition that called itself the House Problem Solver Caucus, a sentiment Trump echoed from Meadows.
“I’d like to see as many other people as possible,” Trump said at a white space news convention on Wednesday. “Yes, I’d like to see it. There are some things I don’t agree with yet. “I’m sure they can be negotiated. “
But Senate Republicans, who last week brought a rudimentary stimulus package that would provide $350 billion in new federal funds, are unlikely to adopt a much larger package.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio delayed the start of the top categories face-to-face in public schools on Thursday, recognizing that the formula had not yet fully triumphed over the many obstacles he faced in returning the coronavirus pandemic to young people.
The abrupt announcement struck the mayor’s efforts to make New York one of the few major cities in the country to teach face-to-face classes and threatened to deepen considerations and confusion over whether the mayor and his management had mis handlered the reopening by pronouncing and then pushing them back.
Instead of a triumphant return to schools for all students who sought face-to-face learning starting Monday, the city will bring students back to the study rooms on an ongoing basis, starting with younger children, who will show up for Next Week Pre-K students and students with complex special desires will return on Monday.
On September 29, number one schools will open and schools and the best schools will open on October 1.
All other students will start the school year remotely on Monday.
The mayor said at a press conference Thursday morning that he had to opt for a slow reopening after having a multi-hour verbal exchange Wednesday with union leaders representing the city’s directors and teachers.
These union leaders have explicitly warned for weeks that schools were not in a position to reopen for a thousand reasons, ranging from poor ventilation in some old buildings to severe staff shortages that, according to the principals’ union, can leave the city in search of 10,000 educators.
Mr. de Blasio said the shortage of the instructor is his main explanation for delaying face-to-face categories again.
“We are doing this to meet all the criteria we have set ourselves,” Mr. de Blasio said Thursday morning, adding that the reopening plan had been drawn up from reading “best practices from around the world. “
More than 40% of parents have already chosen to take the categories in person, and this number is likely to increase, reflecting the deep frustration of families with the city’s reopening efforts and skepticism about school readiness.
As schools reopen, reliable and immediate testing will be essential to ensure the protection of students, parents, and students. Public schools will begin randomly evaluating between 10 and 20% of students and the month, starting in October.

Biotechnology company Moderna published a 135-page paper thursday detailing how it is achieving the complex trial of its coronavirus vaccine and how protection and efficacy will be determined.
The paper suggests that the first research into the knowledge of the trial might not be conducted until the end of December and that there may not be enough data to know if the vaccine is working. Subsequent analyses, scheduled for March and May, are most likely to give an answer.
The company is one of the pioneers in the race to produce a vaccine to fight the pandemic. The Modernna vaccine uses the genetic material of the virus, known as mr. A. , to induce the body’s cells to produce a fragment of the virus that will cause the immune formula to fight an infection.
The vaccine is now in a Phase 3 exam that has recruited more than 25,000 of the 30,000 planned volunteers, and Dr. Tal Zaks, Moderna’s leading medical officer, said recruitment will end in the coming weeks.
Approximately 28% of participants are black, Latin American or other equipment affected by the disease. A varied directory designated as essential.
Half of the participants get the vaccine and the part gets a placebo vaccine consisting of salt water. Two strokes are required, 4 weeks apart. Participants are then monitored to see if they expand Covid-19 symptoms and are positive for the virus.

The vaccine can cause brief reactions such as arm pain, fever, chills, muscle and joint pain, fatigue and headache.
For the effectiveness of the vaccine, Covid-19 instances are counted only if they occur two weeks after the time of injection.

A total of 151 cases, divided between vaccine and placebo teams, will be sufficient to determine whether the vaccine is 60% effective. The Food and Drug Administration has set the bar at 50, according to the penny.
Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican who was scheduled to appear with Trump at an election rally Thursday night in the state of Wisconsin at home, said he would forget and quarantine for two weeks after coming into contact with someone inflamed by the virus.
At his place of work in the Senate he said Thursday that Johnson had tested negative for the virus on Wednesday night and had no symptoms, but as a precaution and because it had been a short time since the show, he canceled his plan to travel to Wisconsin aboard the Air Force.
