Lung Samples From 1918 Show a Pandemic Virus Mutating

The Atlantic Three 103-year-old-lung samples hinted at how the flu mutated to become more deadly. 11:49 AM ET A converted warehouse that was used to isolate 1918 flu patientsUniversal History Archive / Universal Images Group via Getty The three teenagers two boys and a girl could not have known what clues their lungs would one day yield. All they could have known, or felt, before they died in Germany in 1918 was their flu-ravaged lungs failing them, each breath getting harder and harder. Tens of millions of people like them died in the flu pandemic of 1918; they happened to be three whose lungs were preserved by a farsighted pathologist.

Wolves Reduce Deer-Vehicle Collisions

JOSH EDELSON / AFP / Getty The thousand or so wolves that live in Wisconsin may inadvertently be doing a service to humanity, saving the lives of dozens of people. On average, 19,757 Wisconsinites collide with deer every year, leading to about 477 injuries and eight deaths. But according to Jennifer Raynor, a natural-resource economist at Wesleyan University, more would do so if wolves weren’t around. “Some lives are saved, some injuries are prevented, and a huge amount of damage and time are saved by having wolves present,” she told me. These predators tend to prowl alonghuman-made corridors such as trails and roads. By killing deer near these areas, or simply intimidating them into staying away, wolves could keep the animals far from cars. By analyzing 22 years of data, Raynor and her colleagues found that Wisconsin’s wolves have reduced the frequency of deer-vehicle collisions by a quarter. They save the state $10.9 million in losses every year a figure 63 times greater

George Floyd s murder fueled the Black Lives Matter movement Activists are clashing over what comes next

George Floyd s murder fueled the Black Lives Matter movement. Activists are clashing over what comes next Marc Ramirez, Romina Ruiz-Goiriena and Trevor Hughes, USA TODAY © Paula Bronstein A Black Lives Matter protester chants slogans on Wednesday early morning, Nov. 4, 2020, in Portland, Ore. After police killed his son at his student apartment complex in Denton, Texas, Kevin Tarver waited to hear from the Black Lives Matter leaders he had long seen condemn similar police shootings on TV and social media. He expected strategic advice. Help with funeral costs. At the very least, condolences. Sixteen months later, no one from the national organization which last year reported a haul of $90 million has reached out to offer a word or help in his fight for justice.
