AstraZeneca Vaccines Made at Troubled Baltimore Plant Were Shipped to Canada and Mexico

Sat, 2021-04-24 10:52 — mike kraft

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration said Friday that it did not know that a Baltimore factory had discarded millions of possibly contaminated doses of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine when President Biden last month released the company to ship vaccines manufactured there to Mexico and Canada.

Canadian and Mexican officials said on Friday that they had assurances from AstraZeneca that the millions of doses they received were safe. Some of the doses have been distributed to the public in both countries, the officials said.

FDA says N95 masks, now plentiful, should no longer be reused

Fri, 2021-04-23 17:36 — mike kraft

FDA: N95 masks, now plentiful, should no longer be reused The Biden administration has taken the first step toward ending an emergency exception that allowed hospitals to ration and reuse N95 medical masks, the first line of defense between frontline workers and the deadly coronavirus. Thousands of medical providers have died in the COVID-19 pandemic , many exposed and infected while caring for patients without adequate protection. Critical shortages of masks, gowns, swabs, and other medical supplies prompted the Trump administration to issue guidelines for providers to ration , clean, and reuse disposable equipment.

Japan declares a state of emergency in Tokyo and Osaka as coronavirus cases rise

Fri, 2021-04-23 12:12 — mike kraft

TOKYO — Japan on Friday declared states of emergency in Tokyo, Osaka and surrounding areas in an effort to stem a widening coronavirus outbreak three months before the country plans to host the Summer Olympics.

The measures will take effect on Sunday, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said, calling them “a short and concentrated measure” to slow the virus’s spread during the Golden Week holiday, traditionally one of the year’s busiest travel periods.
