Nearly all COVID-19 deaths in US are now among unvaccinated – Fox News

Nearly all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. now are in people who weren’t vaccinated, a staggering demonstration of how effective the shots have been and an indication that deaths per day — now down to under 300 — could be practically zero if everyone eligible got the vaccine. An Associated Press analysis of available government data from May shows that "breakthrough" infections in fully vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of more than 853,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations. That’s about 0.1%. And only about 150 of the more than 18,000 COVID-19 deaths in May were in fully vaccinated people. That translates to about 0.8%, or five deaths per day on average. The AP analyzed figures provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC itself has not estimated what perce...

Reducing Stress Can Sometimes Reverse Gray Hair, Study Finds – Gizmodo

Photo: Shutterstock (Shutterstock) Researchers at Columbia University and elsewhere say they’ve found a way to track the graying of a person’s hair over time. It’s a discovery that also suggests stress really can turn people’s hair gray or white, and that relieving this stress can then turn the color back on, at least up to a certain point. We obviously tend to lose hair color the older we get, as the cells in our hair follicles stop producing the pigment melanin. But there have long been anecdotal reports of even younger people’s hair losing color almost immediately after a stressful event. And while some of these incidents are probably just folk tales, there have been hundreds of these individual cases documented by doctors, too. More recently, animal studies, often in mice, have al...
