A new study reveals that people who live in highly polluted areas are more likely to die from COVID-19, the disease caused by the Wuhan coronavirus. Researchers from Harvard University looked at the impact of particles less than 2.5 micrometers in size (PM2.5) from various sources, such as vehicle exhausts, on COVID-19 health outcomes. According to their findings, which appeared in the journal Science Advances, even … Continue reading Study: People living in highly polluted areas have a higher chance of dying from coronavirus

Study: N95 masks with exhalation valves cannot stop the spread of coronavirus
A new study from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is warning the public against using N95 face masks that have built-in exhalation valves, as these allow unfiltered air to escape. This makes these kinds of masks useless at preventing the wearer of the mask from spreading the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) to others. NIST research engineer … Continue reading Study: N95 masks with exhalation valves cannot stop the spread of coronavirus

Coronavirus antibodies plummet by half in under 3 months after peaking – study
A U.K. study raises fresh concerns that immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is short-lived and that people may be reinfected after recovering the first time. Researchers from the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) found that the number of antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19, drop by half less than three months after the peak reading and fall below … Continue reading Coronavirus antibodies plummet by half in under 3 months after peaking – study

Child care and COVID-19: Study reveals child care centers don’t drive COVID-19 infections
Child care centers that stayed open during the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. did not contribute to the spread of the disease, according to researchers from Yale University in Connecticut. In particular, the team found no evidence of child care being a contributor to COVID-19 transmission between children and adult providers. When the … Continue reading Child care and COVID-19: Study reveals child care centers don’t drive COVID-19 infections
