Utah failed to flatten the curve: these two numbers show why – Deseret News

The novel coronavirus has infected more than 10 million people in the United States — nearly the entire population of Sweden. As of Sunday afternoon, more than 237,000 Americans have died — 659 in Utah. As striking as those numbers are, experts have long worried that a second wave of COVID-19 cases in the fall and winter would be even worse than the first, said Dr. Steven Woolf, a social epidemiologist and director emeritus and senior adviser at the VCU Center on Society and Health at Virginia Commonwealth University. As states loosened restrictions, the spring surge was never fully controlled and instead of an epidemiological curve we got a staircase. That means the impending second wave is more like a ”very dangerous” third surge, Woolf said. Growing case counts are be...

Notes From a Noodle Empire

For Jason Wang, the story of Xi’an Famous Foods began well before 2005, the moment his father, David Shi, began pulling sour liang pi (cold-skin noodles) and stewing meat for rou jia mou (Chinese “hamburgers”) to sell out of a 200-square-foot basement food stall in Flushing, Queens. The path to the New York restaurant empire’s now legendary spicy cumin lamb and hand-pulled noodles can be traced back to their family’s hometown of Xi’an in northwestern China, and to the subsequent suburbs and Chinatowns the family settled in after immigrating to America. Wang’s new cookbook, Xi’an Famous Foods, written with journalist Jessica Chou, includes recipes for those menu mainstays, and pays equal respect to homestyle dishes like egg and tomato or “red brai...

Louisiana bucking latest coronavirus trends as new wave slams US; experts still very concerned – NOLA.com

The U.S. is again in the midst of a record-breaking wave of coronavirus, its third of the year, with outbreaks in the Midwest pushing the country's daily count of new cases above 120,000. But Louisiana appears to be bucking the trend. At least for now. There are no firm theories on why Louisiana, the only state with cases spiking at the same time as the national numbers in the spring and summer, has seen only a slow rise this time. Adherence to mask-we...

First-Ever Flu Vaccine Derived From Tobacco Plants Just Smashed Clinical Trials – ScienceAlert

A new flu vaccine grown in plants has been put to the test in two large-scale clinical trials, a first for vaccine research. The vaccine contained virus-like particles which resembled circulating flu strains, extracted from native Australian tobacco relatives that were genetically instructed to produce the viral proteins.   The two trials combined involved nearly 23,000 people and the results suggest that the plant-derived vaccine is not only safe, but comparable to current commercial flu vaccines. "To the best of our knowledge, these studies and the clinical development programme that preceded them are the largest demonstration to date of the potential for a plant-based platform to produce a human vaccine that can be safe, immunogenic, and effective," the research team wrote. Every ...

The smelly symptom of Parkinson’s disease that you shouldn’t ignore – when to see a doctor – Express

But just because you start excessively sweating, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have Parkinson's disease. The symptom, which is also known as hyperhidrosis, is a very common condition. It can affect the whole body or just certain areas, while most of the time, excessive sweating gets better over time. A pharmacist may be able to help with hyperhidrosis with over-the-counter medication. Stronger antiperspirants, sweat shields, or even foot powders can all help to reduce sweating.

Norm Crosby, king of malatropes, dead at 93 from heart failure – Fox News

LOS ANGELES - Norm Crosby, the deadpan mangler of the English language who thrived in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s as a television, nightclub and casino comedian, has died. He was 93. Crosby’s daughter-in-law, Maggie Crosby, told The New York Times that the comic died Saturday of heart failure in Los Angeles. Early in his career, Crosby had realized he needed a gimmick to differentiate himself from the burgeoning generation of comedians who were achieving fame on the many network TV variety shows. 'JEOPARDY!' HOST ALEX TREBEK DEAD AT 80 AFTER BATTLE WITH PANCREATIC CANCER “I was looking around for fresh ideas, and I kept hearing people misuse words,” he told an interviewer in 1989. “So I started to use it in my act.” He called the famed baby doctor Benjamin Spock “Dr. Spook.” With strai...
