As U.S. infections reach 5 million, Fauci says public should temper expectations on COVID-19 vaccine – MarketWatch

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for the last three decades and an expert on pandemics for the last four decades, has been optimistic on a vaccine arriving at the end of 2020 or in early 2021, but he has also cautioned the public on their expectations for the effectiveness of any vaccine that is developed. “The chances of it being 98% are not great, which means you must never abandon the public-health approach,” Fauci told a recent live streamed Q&A hosted by Brown University. “You’ve got to think of a vaccine as a tool to be able to get a pandemic to no longer be a pandemic, but to be something that’s well-controlled.” “What I’m shooting for is that, with a vaccine and good public-health measures, we can bring it down to somewhere...

Neck fleeces may be worse for coronavirus protection, study says – Business Insider – Business Insider

Researchers at Duke University conducted a study to test the efficacy of facemasks. The study tested surgical masks in addition to cotton masks, neck fleece, and bandanas, which are frequently used as homemade alternatives. While some of the homemade alternative masks offer the same level of protection as surgical masks, neck fleece and bandanas were found to provide little protection. In fact, the neck fleece created more respiratory droplets than not wearing a mask at all, which might prove counterproductive to protection. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. New research authored by a group of scholars at Duke University compared 14 different types of masks to see which ones would be the most effective at reducing the spread of the coronavirus...
