Anticoagulants may increase survival rates in coronavirus cases and decrease the need for intubations, according to a study released Wednesday. Patients on a therapeutic dose of anticoagulants, or blood thinners, which was defined as a full dose, by the study's authors, and those on a prophylactic, or lower, doses of the blood-thinning medication had a reduced risk of death by 50% in patients infected with novel coronavirus and decreased need for intubations by 30%, according to the observational study by a team of Mount Sinai researchers in New York that was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. “Clearly, anticoagulation is associated with improved outcomes and bleeding rates appear to be low,” corresponding author Dr. Anu Lala, an assistant professor of med...

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center: Humboldt County’s total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases now stands at 361, after one additional case was reported today. Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich said that reporting only one case for two days is welcome relief from recent periods of rapid increase. “Two days is not a trend, but once again, I want to thank the community for helping to keep our case counts favorable compared to many areas of the state and nation,” she said. “We all benefit when we are able to slow transmission of this virus, and doing so takes all of us remaining committed to wearing facial coverings, avoiding gatherings outside of our household units and practicing physical distancing at all times in public.” Today’...

Four days after hundreds of students packed into its walls for a Saturday night of drinks, music and dancing, Southeastern chose to shut down its business “out of an abundance of caution.” According to a press release sent out Wednesday, the bar has been closely following the information coming from East Alabama Medical Center, the Auburn University Medical Clinic and the City of Auburn since it reopened its doors in May. It said it stands ready to change its practices based on guidelines from the CDC, the state and the National Restaurant Federation. When Auburn students and community members partied at Southeastern during the first week of classes, Alabama was still under Governor Kay Ivey’s statewide mask mandate that required everyone over the age of six to wear a mask when in a publ...
