Health disparities in cancer and COVID-19 are caused by similar factors

Health disparities in cancer and COVID-19 are caused by similar factors Income level, employment, housing location, medical insurance, education, tobacco and alcohol use, diet and obesity, access to medical care. These are some of the factors causing worse cancer outcomes in people who are Black. The same factors are also causing worse outcomes from COVID-19 in this population. The similarities between COVID-19 issues and cancer disparities is uncanny, says John M. Carethers, M.D., John G. Searle Professor and Chair of Internal Medicine at Michigan Medicine. In cancer we are seeing in slow motion what has been observed rapidly with COVID - that the same conditions in our society put specific groups at risk for both. If we can fundamentally change socioeconomic inequality, we theoretically could reduce disparities in both diseases, says Carethers, who is a member of the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center.

Whack-a-Mole Virus: Treating Covid-19 Makes It Mutate, Microbiologist Says

Whack-a-Mole Virus: Treating Covid-19 Makes It Mutate, Microbiologist Says Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/science/202012231081551248-whack-a-mole-virus-treating-covid-19-makes-it-mutate-microbiologist-says/ Since being announced by the World Health Organization in March, the coronavirus pandemic has infected tens of millions of people and contributed to over 1.6 million deaths worldwide. Last week, the existence of a new strain of the virus was reported in the UK, leading to stricter lockdown measures and travel restrictions from other nations. The use of drugs which suppress the coronavirus and interfere with its reproduction, and the treatment of patients with plasma antibodies can cause its accelerated mutation and the emergence of new strains, Dr Ancha Baranova, a professor of molecular biology and microbiology at George Mason University, has told Sputnik.
