Children with COVID-19 can have virus, antibodies simultaneously – study – The Jerusalem Post
Possessing antibodies against the coronavirus may not be a guarantee that a patient is free of the virus and, by extension, not contagious. A new scientific study published Thursday showed that young patients are able to possess antibodies while still being contagious carriers, Medicalxpress reported.
The discovery, published in the academic publication Journal of Pediatrics by researchers at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC, adds a further layer of complexity into treating COVID-19 in pediatric patients. In particular, it rewrites established understanding of detecting whether a patient is still contagious, which is typically done through testing for antibodies.

California seeks immediate reversal of USPS changes – Los Angeles Times
The motion for a preliminary injunction by Becerra — acting as part of a multistate coalition of attorneys general who have sued DeJoy and Postal Service leaders over the changes — is an effort to immediately undo the changes, instead of waiting for the resolution of the existing lawsuit, which accuses the Trump administration of trying to hobble the Postal Service ahead of the election.

More than 100,000 students in Uzbekistan sat university entrance exams under open skies, as the coronavirus pandemic clouds the beginning of the academic year with uncertainty.
Beirut records 220% increase in COVID-19 cases after explosion | New Europe
“Since the day of the explosion one month ago we’ve seen over a 220% increase in the number of COVID cases in Lebanon, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down,” said Matias Meier, the Country Director for the International Rescue Committee in Lebanon.
He added that almost daily, 500-600 new cases are being recorded, while the big number of clusters makes it more difficult to contain the spread of the virus.

Open Thread | We Knew What They Were Doing This Spring — 3CHICSPOLITICO
When this was happening in the Spring, so many of us said that this is what was happening. So, there is no surprise for it to be validated. But, only increases my loathing of them. From Vanity Fair: How Jared Kushner’s Secret Testing Plan “Went Poof Into Thin Air” This spring, a team working under […]

Again!
So sad… humans can and should do better…


An old man
Lying in front of me;
One foot in the grave
As we could see.
Crying and begging
To save his life,
There they were‐
His son and wife!
A delicate situation
But couldn’t be unheeded.
To fulfill my duty,
I proceeded.
We tried and tried,
As much as we could!
A living body in an instant
Lying like a block of wood.
Suddenly, people started
Throwing stones at me;
Made me believe
How cruel humans can be!
These young hands and feet
Were getting tired;
The character inside me
Almost died!
I rued the day
I chose to be a doctor!
All of a sudden
I remembered my daughter:
Waiting for me
To breastfeed her;
But all I saw was
Haze and blur!
The byname of a murderer
Began to rain!
Head was bleeding,
And heart in so much pain.
All the hard…

NASA’s impressive new AI can predict when a hurricane intensifies
They discovered three strong signals that a hurricane will become more severe: abundant rainfall inside the storm‘s inner core; the amount of ice water in the clouds within the tropical cyclone; and the temperature of the air flowing away from the eye of the hurricane. 
Meteorologists have gotten pretty damn good at forecasting a hurricane’s track. But they still struggle to calculate when it will intensify, as it’s seriously hard to understand what’s happening inside a tropical cyclone. A new machine learning model developed by NASA could dramatically improve their calculations, and give people in a hurricane’s path more time to prepare. Scientists at the space agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California developed the system after searching through years of satellite data. They discovered three strong signals that a hurricane will become more severe: abundant rainfall inside the storm‘s inner core; the amount of ice water in…
