Why at-home coronavirus test kits aren't in the hands of consumers

The path to commercialization has been a bumpy one.

March 28, 2020, 6:10 AM

 

"As government and health care officials plead for expanded access to high-speed COVID-19 tests, health care companies across the country began mobilizing their resources to meet the growing demands with direct-to-consumer kits.

 

The benefits of such kits could be substantial, allowing everyday people to test themselves for COVID-19 in the privacy of their homes instead of visiting a hospital, potentially exposing health care workers and other healthy individuals. If the test came back negative, it could allow them to go back to work without fear of infecting others.

 

But the path to commercialization has been a bumpy one. On March 16, the Food and Drug Administration issued new, loosened guidelines meant to help accelerate the availability of different types of COVID-19 diagnostic tests. Under the new policy, laboratories approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) were allowed to manufacture and distribute a validated COVID-19 test for 15 days before submitting official Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA."

In 2009 UK government experts wildly over-hyped dangers of swine

flu is history repeating with Covid-19?

28 Mar, 2020 09:29

Updated 29 minutes ago

 

"Amidst the coronavirus lockdown, some of the claims of governments and media have been shown to be exaggerated. Ten years ago, they tried the same thing with swine flu. They haven’t learned their lessons — has the public?

On Wednesday, RT picked apart the sensationalist mortality rates that media and governments have been using to terrify the public. These figures are the product of some transparently weak statistics, and cast the true threat from Covid-19 into doubt. There is a saying among statisticians who generate the projections of how pandemics will spread that goes: ‘’All models are wrong.’’ How true that may soon be proven. Now, in the heat of the coronavirus crisis, epidemiologists and computer modelers are being yanked in front of governments and parliaments to give their worst case scenario predictions … and some are already emerging with egg on their face."

Rhode Island hunting down New Yorkers seeking coronavirus refuge

Published 4 hours ago

 

"Any New Yorkers in there?

 

Rhode Island plans to send the National Guard out to knock door-to-door in an attempt to hunt down anyone who has arrived in the tiny state from New York City during the coronavirus pandemic. State police, meanwhile, have begun pulling over cars with New York state plates.

 

Gov. Gina Raimondo said anyone traveling there from New York will be ordered to undergo a 14-day quarantine and could face fines or even jail time if they’re found to not comply.

 

“Right now we have a pinpointed risk,” Raimondo said at a news conference Friday. “That risk is called New York City.”"

As Louisiana braces for surge of coronavirus cases, state pleads for federal help

 

President Trump has approved a major disaster declaration for the state.

March 28, 2020, 5:03 AM

 

"During a private teleconference with governors this week, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards told President Donald Trump the state needs significant federal resources as it braces for an expected surge in COVID-19 infections.

 

Louisiana has only 381 ICU beds available, Edwards said, and he expects the need will overwhelm the supply in hospitals by early April.

 

"We believe by April 7 we will lack capacity in our hospitals," Edwards told the president.

 

Trump approved the major disaster declaration for the state on Tuesday.

 

"You got hit, a delayed hit," Trump told Edwards, according to detailed notes from the call obtained by ABC News. "Looked like you weren’t going to be hit at all, and it sort of exploded.""

System for reporting abuse complaints against bishops begins

3/27/20

 

WASHINGTON — A reporting system accepting sexual misconduct allegations against U.S. bishops and eparchs is in place.

 

Called the Catholic Bishops Abuse Reporting Service, or CBAR, the system became operational Monday, March 16.

 

The mechanism incorporates a website, ReportBishopAbuse.org, and a toll-free telephone number, 800-276-1562, through which individuals can file reports regarding a bishop.

 

The nationwide system is being implemented by individual dioceses under the direction of each respective cardinal, archbishop or bishop. The information gathered will be protected through enhanced encryption.

 

In the Archdiocese of Baltimore, which in January 2019 implemented its own system for reporting allegations against bishops, Auxiliary Bishop Adam J. Parker said CBAR is similar in that it will be accessible from the archdiocesan home page and by phone.

 

Posters will be displayed at each parish promoting the national hotline as well as information about contacting the archdiocese’s Child and Youth Protection Office.

 

“Our intention was that the (nationwide) system — which we are implementing locally as a metropolitan — would be no less robust than what we had implemented here in Baltimore,” Bishop Parker said.

 

Denver-based Convercent developed the reporting system under a two-year contract with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The company specializes in ethics and compliance management for businesses and organizations.

 

Under the system, the company gathers information and routes reports to the appropriate church authority consistent with canon law. It does not conduct any investigation.

 

Approved by the U.S. bishops in June at their spring general assembly, the reporting mechanism meets the requirements established by Pope Francis in his “motu proprio” “Vos estis lux mundi” (“You are the light of the world”) to have a way of receiving reports of sexual misconduct by a bishop.

 

“Motu proprio” is a Latin phrase that means “on one’s own initiative.” Popes use it to signal a special personal interest in a subject.

 

The system works like this:

 

g Calls initially will come into a central phone bank, where trained personnel will ask for information about the allegation being made including the name of the person making the report and his or her contact information. People also will have the option of filing a report online if they do not want to call. People will not be required to give their name if they wish to remain anonymous.

 

g The information gathered will be forwarded to the appropriate metropolitan, or archbishop, responsible for each diocese in a province. (Archbishop Lori is the metropolitan for the Diocese of Richmond). Allegations against a metropolitan will be forwarded to the senior suffragan bishop in the appropriate province. The U.S. has 32 metropolitans. Each province has one archdiocese and several dioceses.

 

g The information also will be forwarded to a layperson designated to assist the bishop in receiving allegations.

 

g After review, the metropolitan or senior suffragan will send the report the apostolic nuncio in Washington.

 

g The nuncio is required to send the report and the metropolitan’s assessment to the Vatican, which has 30 days to determine if a formal investigation is warranted. If so, a bishop will be authorized to oversee an investigation.

 

g When an investigation is ordered, qualified experts, including laypeople will conduct it. An investigation is expected to be completed within 90 days and forwarded to the Vatican.

 

g Vatican officials will review the findings of the investigation and determine the appropriate process leading to a final judgment."

Scottish abuse inquiry appeals for victims to continue to contact them

27 MARCH 2020

 

"The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry has appealed for victims to continue to contact them despite the coronavirus outbreak halting public hearings for the time being.

 

In a video message, the chair of the Inquiry, senior judge Lady Smith, assured anyone who wished to contact the inquiry that they would remain able to do. Although face-to-face meetings have been ruled out due to ongoing coronavirus pandemic, witness support teams will continue to operate phone lines. This follows an announcement last week that planned hearings relating to child migration have been suspended indefinitely.

 

Staff members of the inquiry, which began in 2015, will work remotely to investigate claims and prepare for the next phase of the inquiry, focussed on boarding schools and originally scheduled to begin in July of this year. Ten new institutions from across Scotland were identified earlier this month as subject to investigation, including four young offenders institutions.

 

The analysis of previous case studies, relating to Catholic religious orders – the Christian Brothers, Benedictines and Marists – will continue, with the inquiries findings intended to be published as soon as possible.

 

The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry was set up in October 2015, with the intention of raising public awareness of the abuse of children in care, providing a public forum to acknowledge the suffering of those victims, and establishing legal and regulatory frameworks to ensure abuse does not reoccur. Over the course of the Inquiry, a number of state and non-state institutions have been investigated, including the Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow, several Catholic religious orders, the Church of Scotland, and a majority of Scotland's local authorities.

 

Last May the Inquiry found that children in four homes run by the Sisters of Nazareth in Aberdeen, Cardonald, Lasswade and Kilmarnock endured systematic violence and emotional abuse across 50 years, from 1933 to 1984. Lady Smith stated that the children in these homes were “deprived of the dignity, compassion and care they were entitled to” and that abuse reached levels “of the utmost depravity”. The Sisters of Nazareth issued a statement thanking the inquiry for the report and expressing their “deep shame” over the abuse.

 

The Inquiry can be contacted by phone on 0800 0929 300, Monday to Friday between 10am and 4pm, or by email at talktous@childabuseinquiry.scot."

Trump administration launches global effort to end criminalization

of homosexuality

 

The administration is responding in part to a reported hanging of a young gay man in Iran, Trump’s top geopolitical foe.

Feb. 19, 2019, 12:00 PM EST

 

BERLIN — The Trump administration is launching a global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality in dozens of nations where it's still illegal to be gay, U.S. officials tell NBC News, a bid aimed in part at denouncing Iran over its human rights record.

 

U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, the highest-profile openly gay person in the Trump administration, is leading the effort, which kicks off Tuesday evening in Berlin. The U.S. embassy is flying in LGBT activists from across Europe for a strategy dinner to plan to push for decriminalization in places that still outlaw homosexuality — mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean.

 

“It is concerning that, in the 21st century, some 70 countries continue to have laws that criminalize LGBTI status or conduct,” said a U.S. official involved in organizing the event."
