FDA says there is no evidence groceries can transmit coronavirus

Your groceries apparently can’t transmit the coronavirus. There’s no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 can spread through food, or what it’s wrapped in, Dr. Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, said Thursday. “We have no evidence that the virus, the Covid-19 virus, is transmitted by food or by food packaging,” Hahn said during a CNN town hall. There’s still a risk of catching the bug when restocking your pantry. But you’re more likely to be infected by someone coughing inside the store than by touching your groceries, aid Dr. Leana Wen, the former Baltimore health commissioner.

Experts suggest reducing the frequency of grocery runs, keeping a safe distance, rigorous hand washing and other measures to stay safe. As for disinfecting your groceries, that may also be overkill, according to the FDA. The FDA head was addressing the nation’s food supply and worker safety amid the pandemic when he made the statement about food and food packaging. “I can give great assurance that the American food supply is safe. We also very much care about our food workers, both in the retail and in the manufacturing setting. So it’s really important for folks to follow the CDC guidance in terms of protection,” he said. His comments came after Tyson Foods on Wednesday suspended operations at an Iowa plant that is critical to the nation’s pork supply, but had been devastated by a growing outbreak.

Found it hard to believe that people were actually doing this, until I witnessed it. Unbelievable

NASA's incredible new moon map will serve as blueprint for human missions

''Using decades of data, the USGS put together the most comprehensive geologic map of the moon yet.''

NASA is preparing for new missions to the moon, setting an ambitious goal for putting walkin', talkin' humans (including the first woman) back on the lunar surface by 2024. There's plenty of gigantic hurdles to overcome before that future is realized, but this stunning, detailed new map of the moon's surface features, produced by scientists from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), NASA and the Lunar Planetary Institute, is likely to play an invaluable role in fulfilling the agency's goal. Known as the "Unified Geologic Map of the Moon", the cartograph looks like a rainbow Gobstopper and charts decades of geological surveys of the lunar surface, dating as far back as the Apollo era – when humans first stepped foot on our celestial neighbor. Using regional maps from six Apollo missions combined with new data acquired by NASA's lunar orbiter and observations by Kaguya, a probe launched by the Japanese space agency which imaged the moon between 2007 and 2009.

The colourful 1:5,000,000-scale geologic map, which was set to be unveiled during the 51st Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, is designed to serve as a resource for research and analysis efforts and to help future geologic surveys. "It's wonderful to see USGS create a resource that can help NASA with their planning for future missions," said Jim Reilly, USGS director, in a press release. The moon's pockmarked surface acts like a record of its history and the new map distinguishes between different geologic formations and time periods, using striking color to record the moon's past. The map is dominated by the pinks of the Imbrian era, which occurred some 3.5 billion years ago. During that time, the moon was smashed by asteroids, creating many of the impact craters we can see on the surface today.

Connecticut city testing drone that detects fevers, coughs

Police in Westport, Conn., will test a “pandemic drone” they say is capable of monitoring residents’ temperatures from nearly 200 feet as well as detecting coughing and sneezing. The police department said they are testing the technology in cooperation with drone manufacturer Draganfly. The company said the drone will feature sensors that can detect fever temperatures and heart rates as well as sneezing and coughing in crowds, according to a local NBC affiliate.

“One of the major problems for cities and towns like Westport in managing and responding to a pandemic like the COVID-19 virus, is finding out who could be infected and how widespread the disease has spread,” Westport First Selectman Jim Marpe said in a statement. “One way to do this is to look for underlying symptoms. By teaming up with Draganfly and the UniSA team led by Defense Chair of Sensor Systems Professor Javaan Chahl, we are able to remotely look at valuable lifesaving data and better manage current and future health emergencies,” he added.

Police said in a statement that the technology will not be used on private land and that the drones are not equipped with facial recognition technology. “Using drones remains a go-to technology for reaching remote areas with little to no manpower required. Because of this technology, our officers will have the information and quality data they need to make the best decision in any given situation,” Westport Police Chief Foti Koskinas said in a news release. Connecticut has reported 22,469 confirmed cases of the virus as of Thursday, including 221 in Westport. On Tuesday, Gov. Ned Lamont (D) announced a deal with Quest Diagnostics that the governor said will allow the state to run an additional 2,000 tests per day on top of the 2,600 daily tests currently performed in the state.

China Again!

Hmm, When POTUS mentions invisible enemy it always makes me think of Communism/Socialism. These ideologies have been quietly but deliberately shoved down our throats in our faces and yet while seeing these symbols, propaganda media, changes in law that alter the fabric of the constitution and our lives, many slept with the idea that this ideology lived in the obvious countries, never really realizing it was right out side their front doors.

Not just China anon..this is in our government, local, state and federal, schools public/private, just about anything you can think of it has infiltrated..

Did the WHO Leak Misleading Information, Undermining a Promising Anti-Coronavirus Drug Trial?

This was an emotional rollercoaster ride yesterday, ending without any clear consensus on what comes next. The background is that anti-Coronavirus therapy watchers have been building excitement and hope over the potential efficacy of a drug called remdesivir, developed by Gilead. Like we've seen with hydroxychloroquine, this optimism didn't arise based on nothing. This story was published less than a week ago. We were on the brink of a remdesivir breakthrough, while partisans were at each other's throats over the aforementioned 'Trump-backed' therapy that has produced mixed results? Hope. Then came yesterday's enthusiasm plunge.

Another report indicated that the leaked initial results showed no statistically significant difference in death rate among patients who took remdesivir, versus the control group, with slightly higher mortality among those who were administered the drug. Gilead's stock tumbled yesterday on this news, but the company pushed back, arguing that the Chinese study "the study was stopped early because it had too few patients" and could therefore not “enable statistically meaningful conclusions.” A company official added that "trends in the data suggest a potential benefit for remdesivir, particularly among patients treated early in disease.”

My opinion of the World Health Organization is in the toilet, but I can't quite bring myself to believe it is so malevolent that it would be engaging in manipulations like this on purpose. And if they were, to what end? My guess is that this was sheer incompetence, which had cascading short-term consequences – which seems like another reason for the US to keep the money spigot turned off for now. Appalling China toadery plus myriad incompetent failures equals defunding. Meanwhile, results of US clinical trials of remdesivir should be coming in the near future. As I argued yesterday, let's root for the best, follow the data, and be prepared to recognize that solutions that may mitigate problems for some patients are not necessarily silver bullets for all patients.
