Weekly COVID-19 testing, coupled with a two-week isolation period for positive cases, may be the most cost-effective strategy to tackle the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the USA when transmission is high until vaccines are widely available, a modelling study published in The Lancet Public Health journal suggests.
Dynamics of COVID-19 under social distancing measures are driven by transmission network structure

Summary
There s no one-size-fits-all diet. For example, some people in a 2015 study of 800 Israeli volunteers got their biggest blood sugar spike from bananas or bread, others from a sugary cookie. Now, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) is making a major push to understand these individual differences. Last week, the agency announced what it calls the largest study yet to probe precision nutrition. The $156 million, 5-year effort will examine how 10,000 Americans process foods by collecting data ranging from continuous blood glucose levels to microbes in a person s gut. Ultimately, it might enable nutritionists to tailor diets for individuals. The study is part of a broader push at NIH to boost nutrition science.View Full Text
https://www.afinalwarning.com/494001.html (Natural News) One of the more serious issues with the Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus vaccines is their propensity to cause inflammation of the cardiovascular system. The vaccine causes an antigen-specific immune response that may additionally cause an inflammatory immune response along the endothelial lining of blood vessels. If natural viral antigens are present in the endothelial lining of blood vessels at the time of vaccination, the recipient’s immune system may be forced to attack the body’s own cardiovascular system, leading to inflammation and potential cardiovascular events. The damage is more often observed in the elderly, but young people are not immune to this type of vaccine injury. In fact, a healthy 19-year-old was admitted to the ICU after the second dose of Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine caused inflammation of his heart muscle (myocarditis).
COVID-19 in Wisconsin: 41 new COVID-related deaths, 1,518 new cases reported Photo: NIAID-RML via AP. FILE - This undated electron microscope image made available by the U.S. National Institutes of Health in February 2020 shows the Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Also known as 2019-nCoV, the virus causes COVID-19. The sample was isolated from a patient in the U.S. On Tuesday, April 21, 2020, U.S. health regulators OK d the first coronavirus test that allows people to collect their own sample at home, a new approach that could help expand testing options in most states. The sample will still have to be shipped for processing back to LabCorp, which operates diagnostic labs throughout the U.S.
