Study assesses COVID-19 pandemic policies and behaviours in the various US states

Wed, 2023-04-05 10:02 — mike kraft

Assessing COVID-19 pandemic policies and behaviours and their economic and educational trade-offs across US states from Jan 1, 2020, to July 31, 2022: an observational analysis COVID-19 magnified the polarisation and persistent social, economic, and racial inequities that already existed across US society, but the next pandemic threat need not do the same.

Mon, 2023-04-03 16:59 — mike kraft

Medicare, Social Security could fall short over next decade An annual report on Social Security and Medicare says the financial safety nets millions of older Americans rely on and millions more young people are counting on will run short on funds to pay full benefits within the next decade. The Social Security and Medicare trustees report says Medicare will be unable to pay full benefits for inpatient hospital visits and nursing home stays by 2031. Friday’s report says Social Security won’t have enough cash on hand to pay out full benefits just two years later. About 65 million older and disabled people are enrolled in both programs.

Analysis: Why The US leads the world in weather catastrophes

Mon, 2023-04-03 10:57 — mike kraft

Those include tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, blizzards and the like. The reason is geography. Two oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, mountains, the jet stream and jutting peninsulas all combine to brew up severe storms. But nasty weather by itself isn't a disaster. What makes nature's bad hand a disaster is humans.
