Confusion over Covid-19 boosters lingers as states roll out shots

Tue, 2021-09-28 19:19 — mike kraft

Confusion over Covid-19 boosters lingers as states roll out shots The sheer breadth of qualifying medical conditions and occupations, plus the lack of any proof requirements, means just about anyone who got the Pfizer vaccine can now seek out a booster. POLITICO

States are wrestling with how to dole out Covid-19 boosters after federal regulators set eligibility guidelines so broad that nearly all of the 100 million Americans who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine qualify for a third shot.

The Covid Crisis Is Now a Garbage Disposal Crisis, Too

Tue, 2021-09-28 18:40 — mike kraft

Across Brazil, recycling plants stopped running for months. In Uganda, a junkyard is short on reusable plastics. And in Indonesia’s capital, disposable gloves and face shields are piling up at a river mouth.

Surging consumption of plastics and packaging during the pandemic has produced mountains of waste. But because fears of Covid-19 have led to work stoppages at recycling facilities, some reusable material has been junked or burned instead.

At the same time, high volumes of personal protective equipment have been misclassified as hazardous, solid waste experts say. That material often isn’t allowed into the normal trash, so a lot of it is dumped in burn pits or as litter.

Model for mitigation measures for reopening schools during the COVID-19 pandemic

Tue, 2021-09-28 11:37 — mike kraft

Model-driven mitigation measures for reopening schools during the COVID-19 pandemic As the COVID-19 pandemic drags on, we need strategies for reopening those schools that have remained closed. We developed stochastic network models to study the risks associated with returning to in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to explore the value of mitigation measures in reducing these risks. Our models indicate that the risk of school outbreaks increases as community prevalence increases, and that secondary schools pose greater control challenges than primary schools. The models reveal that a number of measures can help substantially: dividing students into multiple cohorts who attend school on an alternating basis, frequently testing teachers and students, and vaccinating teachers and staff.
