HERE’S THE MOST THAT’S HAPPENING:
CHARLESTON, W.Va.- The death toll from coronavirus continues to rise in West Virginia, as the cases shown hit a new diary in the pandemic.
Health officials announced 8 more virus-like deaths on Tuesday, bringing the state’s total to at least 222, an increase of 91% since August 1.
Although on July 6, Gov. Jim Justice issued an order to request interior masks for public use, positive cases have soared since then, and officials partly attributed the accumulation to out-of-state travel.
According to the Department of Health and Human Resources website, the state reported that 225 cases showed on Sunday, surpassing the one-day record of 180 set on July 30. The state’s daily positive rate of 6.85% on Monday is the highest since it reached 6.95%.May 26. The overall total is at least 10,320 cases shown.

WASHINGTON – A medical expert organization that advises the National Institutes of Health says there is enough evidence to propose or oppose the use of plasma treatment for patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
The failure of advisers comes a week after the Food and Drug Administration granted emergency approval for treatment.The resolution followed President Donald Trump’s threats to the slow pace of the FDA review, leading to fears that the company would feel compelled to give the go-ahead to therapy.
The so-called convalescence plasma is extracted from patients who have recovered from coronavirus and is found in anti-disease antibodies, but its opposite use of COVID-19 has not been studied in rigorous clinical trials.
The NIH panel says plasma should not be considered as a “standard care” treatment, due to lack of knowledge confirming its protection and effectiveness.
The FDA granted its emergency use based on the initial effects of tens of thousands of patients monitored through the Mayo Clinic.The resolution only means that the potential benefits of the remedy outweigh its risks.
But the Mayo study does not have the kind of controls needed to draw conclusions about clinical benefits, which adds to overall survival.FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn was forced to step back last week after overestimation of the possible rescue effect advised through the data.
NIH experts suggested that doctors and patients conduct appropriate plasma studies.

NEW YORK – A handful of dozens of experimental coronavirus vaccines in human testing have reached the newest and biggest obstacle: looking for mandatory evidence that they work.
A U.S. advisory organization has been in the world to But it’s not the first time He recommended a way to ration the first limited doses on Tuesday once a vaccine is approved. AstraZeneca announced on Monday that her vaccine candidate had entered the final phase of testing at États-Unis.La company founded in Cambridge, England, said the test would involve up to 30,000 adults from racial, ethnic and geographical organizations.
Two other candidate vaccines began the last tests this summer on tens of thousands of people in the United States: one created through the National Institutes of Health and manufactured through Moderna Inc., and the other evolved through Pfizer Inc.BioNTech in Germany.
NIH Director Francis Collins tweeted that his company “supports several vaccine trials because more than one is needed.
There is no guarantee that any of the main applicants will succeed, and the bar is higher than for COVID-19 treatments, as these vaccines will be given to other healthy people.The final tests, experts emphasize, deserve to involve a lot of other people to know if they are safe enough for mass vaccines.
“The first vaccines that come out are probably not the best,” dr.Nicole Lurie, who helped lead plans for the pandemic under Obama’s leadership at a symposium on vaccines at the University of Minnesota.

WASHINGTON – A new member of the White House Coronavirus Working Group says claims that it is driving collective immunity in reaction to the pandemic is a “clear lie.”
Dr. Scott Atlas said in an interview in SiriusXM’s “Michael Smerconish Program” that there was never a lawyer for a collective immunity strategy to President Donald Trump or in the administration or working group.
The Washington Post reported Monday that Atlas, who was recently added to the working group, suggested Trump’s most sensitive medical advisers adopt collective immunity as a strategy to combat the virus.
Collective immunity would involve allowing most Americans to inflate with the virus that causes COVID-19 so that others can have immunity to the virus.

WASHINGTON – Federal officials will begin this month to send tens of millions of immediate coronavirus tests to state governors for use when schools reopen.
Trump administration’s leading check officer, Admiral Brett Giroir, on Tuesday defined plans to distribute some of the 150 million checks ordered to checkmaker Abbott Laboratories.The federal acquisition first announced last week.
Abbott’s immediate check, the length of a credit card, is the first to not require a specialized computer device to grow.The check provides effects in approximately 15 minutes and is priced at $5, particularly lower than older checks.
Giroir said the “vast majority” would pass on to American interns to be used in the evaluation of young people in K-12 schools.Controls can only be used to verify lifeguards and other high-risk populations.
Tests will be sent to 20,000 households with support services.Unlike nursing homes, assisted living centers are supervised through Medicare.Because service apartments also house a vulnerable population, they face some of the same dangers as nursing homes.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, testing in the United States has relied primarily on nasal swab tests sent to labs for treatment, but shortages have resulted in delayed testing, delayed and hampered effects. case tracking efforts.
Health experts say immediate outdoor monitoring of the lab is essential to increase the number of controls before the flu season. However, Abbott’s new control still requires a nasal pattern through a fitness worker.Abbott’s are less accurate than lab controls.The FDA said that, in some cases, the negative effects of Abbott’s control might want to be shown through a lab check.

BERLIN – The director of a German medical laboratory on behalf has criticized proposals to use veterinary and commercial laboratories to treat coronavirus tests.
Andreas Bobrowksi, president of medical lab organization BDL, says the ability to conduct more tests is limited by a shortage of devices to treat them, which he says has been “covered by rationing.”
Germany has conducted more than 11.2 million coronavirus tests since the outbreak began and approximately 244,600 positive tests.
Bobrowski said the testing capacity will also be needed to detect influenza in the coming months, and called for other measures such as pre-emptive quarantine and restrictions rather than expanding the number of other people examined.
