The Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918 killed about 50 million people worldwide, but in some tactics the COVID-19 pandemic worsened, according to a study published Thursday in the medical journal JAMA Network Open.
The existing pandemic has been linked to less than one million deaths. But it compares the two months after the first recorded death of COVID-19 in New York, the epicenter of the U.S. epidemic for weeks, to the deadliest two months of the 1918 calamity.
“These are comparable occasions in terms of magnitude,” said Dr. Jeremy Faust, emergency physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and lead author of the study. “What our numbers show is that what happened in New York was quite similar to what happened with the biggest fashion pandemic.”

Florida’s formula for reporting COVID-19 cases, which is already a source of skepticism from past mistakes, exacerbated the crisis of confidence when state fitness officials said Wednesday that some of the roughly 8,000 new cases in the daily update come from tests conducted for so long. like seven weeks ago.
By blaming a Miami lab for spilling more than 4,000 positive tests in one day, the Florida Department of Health tweeted that the effects were “false,” especially in Miami-Dade County. Some of the tests were conducted since June 23, he said. This progression has led to accusations by those who claim that the state deliberately underestimates the positive effects of shielding the economy.

Blacks and Latinos are 4 times more likely than whites to be hospitalized for COVID-19, and blacks are twice as likely as whites to die from the virus, according to a report published Thursday through the National Urban League.
These fitness scores stem from the fact that other people of color have a tendency to live in more overcrowded housing, making it less difficult to transmit the respiratory virus, and that other people of color are less likely to sit in the paintings in their home, according to the league’s annual report titled “State of Unmasked Black America.”
“This is a crisis,” said Marc Morial, executive director of the National Urban League. “Those with less for doctors and hospitals will be diagnosed much later. When diagnosed much later, they are more likely to be hospitalized, they are more likely to die.”

Detroit-based Henry Ford Health Care System has implemented and been denied permission to continue treating COVID-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine, the antimalarial drug promoted through President Donald Trump whose emergency clearance has been revoked through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Studies have shown that the drug is useless in treating patients inflamed by coronavirus and potentially harmful to those with the central disease.
The application came four days after Henry Ford’s formula published a controversial study in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases reporting that hydroxychloroquine had halved the COVID-19 mortality rate. The peer-reviewed observation examination contradicted other published reports and is described as “defective” through Dr. Anthony Fauci, a leading expert on infectious diseases. The FDA rejected the application this week.

Some 963,000 more people have been implemented for unemployment, a rough measure of layoffs, the Ministry of Labour said Thursday. This is the first time weekly claims have fallen below 1 million in months. But the newer program still means that nearly 56 million Americans have implemented unemployment assistance in just over five months.
The report comes when unemployed Americans are doing well without the $600 in additional weekly federal benefits that started the pandemic and ended on the last day of July. Unemployment fell to 10.2% in July since 11.1% in June, but the economic recovery has been uneven, with re-treatments on the rise in some industries and stagnant in others.
