Long COVID Can Affect Children, and Infants, Study Shows.
The study was published on June 22 in the journal 'The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health.'.
The research included
44,000 children in Denmark
ages zero to 14.
Long COVID can cause symptoms such as headaches, mood swings and exhaustion.
The study found those who had tested positive
for COVID-19 were more likely to have long-term symptoms not present before testing positive.
Researchers found common symptoms vary by age. .
Mood swings, rashes and stomach
aches were most common in children
ages 3 and younger.
Children ages 4 to 11 were
prone to experience problems with concentration and memory.
12- to 14-year-olds most notably
experienced mood swings and fatigue.

Moderna Says New Booster , Shows 'Superior' Omicron Response.
NPR reports Moderna claims its most recent vaccine candidate has shown a "superior neutralizing
antibody response" when compared to its first vaccine.
It is "bivalent," engineered to
target two different antigens.
Per NPR, Moderna intends to make its
newest booster available in fall 2022.
We are submitting our
preliminary data and analysis to regulators with the hope that the Omicron-containing bivalent booster will be available in the late summer. , Stéphane Bancel, Moderna CEO, via statement.
Due to a higher antibody response, Moderna believes its newest vaccine will offer protection that is "more durable over time" against Omicron.

NASA Announces New, Milestone in Mystery, of Universe's Expansion Rate.
On May 19, NASA announced that the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has now calibrated over 40 "milepost markers" of space and time.
Fox reports that these markers help scientist measure the expansion rate of the universe, otherwise known as the "Hubble constant.".
Astronomers have now found a discrepancy between the expansion rate of the local universe compared to observations following the big bang.
According to Fox, the cause of the discrepancy
remains unclear, but NASA claims that
the HST data may support new physics.
A nationwide scientific collaboration called Supernova,
H0, for the Equation of State of Dark Energy (SH0ES)
looked at 42 Type Ia supernovae with Hubble.
The SH0ES project was designed to bracket
the universe by matching the precision of the
Hubble constant inferred from studying the
cosmic microwave background radiation
leftover from the dawn of the universe, Adam Riess, Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)
and the Johns Hopkins University, via Fox.

According to NASA, the expansion rate
was previously predicted to be slower
than what the HST data revealed. .
SH0ES found the expansion rate
to be more than double the prior
sample of cosmic distance markers. .
Fox reports that NASA's new Webb Space Telescope will allow astronomers to show mile markers at a greater distance and extend the work started by the Hubble.

Overdose Deaths Increased
by 15 Percent in 2021, CDC Reports.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of overdose deaths in 2021 was almost 108,000.
This equates to a 15 percent increase from the year before on top of the nearly 30 percent increase in overdose deaths reported in 2020.
Officials say the epidemic is being fueled by the widespread availability of meth and fentanyl.
There’s an intertwined synthetics epidemic the likes of which
we’ve never seen, Dr. Dan Ciccarone, UC San Francisco,
via 'The New York Times'.
We’ve never seen a powerful opioid such as fentanyl
being mixed with such a
potent methamphetamine, Dr. Dan Ciccarone, UC San Francisco,
via 'The New York Times'.
Fentanyl is cheaper and easier to manufacture and distribute than heroin.
It is also more potent than heroin, often resulting in deadly consequences.
The economics of fentanyl have just been pushing the other drugs out of the market, Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, Johns Hopkins University,
via 'The New York Times'.
It’s just so cheap to buy fentanyl and turn around and put it
in whatever, Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, Johns Hopkins University,
via 'The New York Times'.
As the COVID pandemic continues to wane, officials say the increase in overdose deaths can
no longer be attributed to isolation.
In the beginning stages
of the pandemic, we were
attributing the increase to life
being disrupted, Kelly Dougherty, Deputy Health Commissioner of VT, via 'The New York Times'.
What is really the primary driver is the presence of fentanyl in the drug supply, Kelly Dougherty, Deputy Health Commissioner of VT, via 'The New York Times'.
The Biden administration recently announced a new approach to the epidemic that focuses on "harm reduction" rather than abstinence.
While the new approach has the potential to save lives, state officials say it may not be enough to
combat the accessibility of fentanyl.
You can have the most robust treatment system and not everybody is going to avail themselves of it when maybe
they should, or before they
end up overdosing, Kelly Dougherty, Deputy Health Commissioner of VT, via 'The New York Times'

WHO Data Suggests , COVID-19 Death Toll , Is 3 Times Higher Than Reported.
CNN reports new estimates from the
World Health Organization (WHO) say
the coronavirus pandemic took the
lives of almost 14.9 million people.
Between January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2021, WHO officials say the death toll was nearly
three times higher than previously reported.
During that timeframe, 5.4 million COVID-related deaths were reported to the WHO.
This means new data suggests an excess mortality rate of 9.5 million deaths.
Excess mortality is the difference between the number of deaths that have been recorded and those that would be expected in the absence of the pandemic. , Samira Asma, assistant director-general for the Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact Division of WHO, via CNN.
Over the 24 months examined, the estimated
range of excess deaths was between
13.3 million and 16.6 million.
In the United States, by
December 31, 2021, the estimated
number of excess deaths was 932,458.
Per data from Johns Hopkins University,
that's almost 100,000 more deaths than previously reported in that timeframe.
Knowing how many people died due to the pandemic will help us to be better prepared for the next. , Samira Asma, assistant director-general for the Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact Division of WHO, via CNN.
We need to honor the lives tragically cut short, lives we lost, and we must hold ourselves and our policymakers accountable. , Samira Asma, assistant director-general for the Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact Division of WHO, via CNN.
