Oregon reports 1,575 coronavirus cases, one of highest daily tallies of entire pandemic – OregonLive

Oregon on Tuesday reported 1,575 new cases of coronavirus, one of the highest daily case counts reported over the entire COVID-19 pandemic and a deeply worrying number for public health officials due to the resurgence of the virus driven by the contagious delta variant. Even more worrisome, the number of Oregonians hospitalized with the virus across the state increased by 39 to 379, and there are 119 COVID-19 patients in intensive care beds, 17 more than the previous day. Both numbers are the highest seen since the surge last winter. And the rising case and hospitalization tallies shows no sign of slowing. The state on Tuesday reported that more than one in 10 coronavirus tests yielded a positive result, one of the highest daily rates of the pandemic at 10.8%. The state also reported...

Matt Damon: I do not use slurs of any kind – CNN

The "Stillwater" star had told the Sunday Times in a recent interview that he retired the 'f-slur' after his daughter wrote him a "treatise" on how wrong the word is after he said it at home in the context of recalling a joke from a movie. In Damon's statement Tuesday, he said he has never used the word in his "personal life" and does not "use slurs of any kind." He says he was trying to show his daughter how far the LGBTQ+ community has come, while there is still much work left to do. "During a recent interview, I recalled a discussion I had with my daughter where I attempted to contextualize for her the progress that has been made -- though by no means completed -- since I was growing up in Boston and, as a child, heard the word 'f*g' used on the street before I knew what it even r...

Why Shares of Moderna Are Up Today – Motley Fool

What happened Shares of Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) are up 9% as of 2:45 p.m. EDT today, after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation for mRNA-1345, the company's vaccine candidate for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). In April, the company provided data showing an 11-fold and 20-fold increase in neutralizing antibodies for RSV-B and RSV-A, respectively, compared with its previous vaccine candidate.

There is currently no approved vaccine for RSV. The Fast Track desi...
