Public health leaders warn dwindling COVID data risks less preparation for 'the next outbreak'

Fri, 2023-05-05 11:35 — mike kraft
Public health leaders warn dwindling COVID data risks less preparation for 'the next outbreak' While COVID-19 ebbs -- and many of the pandemic-era policies on surveillance data and funding wind down with it -- the nation's public health leaders warned senators on Thursday that a return to "normal" should not mean forgetting the hard lessons learned over the last three years. When the federal government's public health emergency expires next week, COVID-19 data collection tools will also end.

Ivermectin suporters lose in Wisconsin Supreme Court

Thu, 2023-05-04 19:24 — mike kraft
Wisconsin Supreme Court won't order ivermectin use for COVID Wisconsin’s conservative-controlled Supreme Court ruled a hospital couldn't be forced to give a deworming drug to a patient with COVID-19, saying a county judge did not cite a legal basis for ordering the facility to administer ivermectin. Ivermectin became popular among conservatives after commentators and even some far-right doctors held up the antiparasitic drug as a miracle cure for the coronavirus and other illnesses. But the Food and Drug Administration hasn't approved it for use in treating COVID-19 and warns that misusing ivermectin can be harmful, even fatal.
