Arnold and Mahoney proved effective in rabbits, some researchers decided to pursue human experimentation of this prophylaxis.

As Mayor Walsh prepares to leave City Hall for the labor secretary’s post in the Biden administration, Boston City Council President Kim Janey has turned to City Hall veteran Chris Osgood to help lead her team when she becomes acting mayor.
In anticipation of that move, Janey on Friday named Osgood, who previously served as Walsh’s chief of the streets, transportation and sanitation, as her chief of staff.
A graduate of City Year, Haverford College, and the Harvard Business School, Osgood joined the Menino administration in 2006 where he co-founded the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics in 2010 and served as a policy advisor.

The authors of the study have said their results challenge the view that Africa somehow dodged the COVID-19 pandemic.
The findings, published in theBMJ global health journal last week, indicate that low numbers of reported infections and deaths across Africa may result from lack of testing, with the coronavirus taking a terrible but invisible toll on the continent.
