First ever universal coronavirus test developed, can identify all known human strains – Study Finds

Researchers say the new test shows 98 percent accuracy regarding both specificity and sensitivity. Coronavirus immune signatures appear in the body days after infection and linger for around six to seven months post-recovery. “This work will allow us and others to build inexpensive, easy-to-use blood tests that can provide data for exposure as well as immunity,” says study author Nischay Mishra, PhD, a Columbia assistant professor of epidemiology, in a university release. “This work with our colleagues at SunYat-Sen, led by Professor Jiahai Lu, and with Nimble Therapeutics, underscores the importance to public health of global collaboration and partnerships with industry in addressing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic,” adds senior and corresponding author W. Ian Lipkin, MD.

A man in a video still holds a flag in the Senate chambers A UCLA student who posted white supremacist views online and founded an ultra-right campus organization has been charged with federal crimes for his alleged role in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection.

The student, Christian Secor, was captured on video sitting in the chair that Vice President Mike Pence had hastily vacated after a pro-Trump mob broke into the Capitol, according to the FBI.

FBI agents, assisted by a SWAT team, arrested Secor, 22, at his Costa Mesa home Tuesday morning after searching the residence, said Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman.

Federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., have charged Secor with assaulting or resisting a police officer, violent entry and remaining on restricted grounds, civil disorder and obstructing an official proceeding.

“If there’s going to be folks that are going to complain about getting more vaccines, you know, I’ll tell you what, I mean, I wouldn’t be complaining, I’d be thankful that we’re able to do it because, you know what, we didn’t need to do this at all,” DeSantis said.

Morocco National COVID-19 Vaccination Campaign Reaches Two Million

Rabat – Morocco’s COVID-19 epidemic continues its steady decline amid a vaccination campaign that has now vaccinated 2 million. 

Morocco recorded another 508 new cases of COVID-19 over the past 24 hours, while 838 people recovered from their infection. The country experienced 13 more COVID-19 related deaths, bringing the total death toll to 8,517. 

Active COVID-19 cases in Morocco dropped below 10,000 for the first time in months this week, with the number now standing at 9,596.

Hospitals in Morocco continue to care for 419 patients in critical condition, with 36 cases having to be intubated and 227 patients requiring breathing support through ventilators. 

Morocco’s health authorities performed 9,601 more tests for COVID-19 over the past 24 hours, bringing the total amount of performed tests to 5,068,748. 

The regional distribution of new COVID-19 cases saw Grand Casablanca-Settat as the worst affected region that accounted for over half of the country’s new cases. The region reported 257 new cases and 6 deaths over the past 24 hours. 

The next worst-hit region was the capital region of Rabat-Sale-Kenitra where 64 new cases were detected as well as two deaths. Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima followed with 57 new cases and no related deaths while L’Oriental reported 42 new cases and one death.

Marrakech-Safi in central Morocco reported 25 new COVID-19 cases and one death followed by Souss-Massa (24 new cases, one death) as well as Beni Mellal-Khenifra and Dakhla-Oued Eddahab that both reported 8 cases and no deaths. 

The region of Fez-Meknes reported 7 new cases and one death while Darraa-Tafilalet and Guelmim-Oued Noun each recorded six deaths and no casualties. Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra in Morocco’s south recorded four new COVID-19 cases and one related death.
