The head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday that a recent decline in COVID-19 cases may be stalling, a development she described as concerning while urging that restrictions to fight the virus remain in place.
“We at the CDC consider this a very concerning shift in the trajectory.” The head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday said that the number of COVID-19 cases had been increasing for the past three days compared to the prior week, a development she described as concerning while urging Americans to remain vigilant.
"Things are tenuous.
Now is not the time to relax restrictions.
Cases, hospital admissions, and deaths all remain very high and the recent shift in the pandemic must be taken extremely seriously." Dr. Rochelle Walensky also said that declines in hospitalizations and deaths were (quote) "potentially leveling off at still a very high number." States and cities have been gradually lifting restrictions in recent weeks.
New York City has reopened some indoor dining and Massachusetts plans to remove limits on restaurant capacity starting in March.
Andy Slavitt, a senior adviser on the White House's COVID-19 response team, urged companies on Friday to help fight the pandemic.
"We are asking businesses to amplify CDC messages about masking and vaccinations on their products, properties and web sites.” Ford and Gap were producing and donating millions of masks, he said, while Best Buy, Target and Dollar General were giving workers paid time off or compensating them to get vaccinated.
The White House is working on a broad campaign to educate Americans about the vaccines as it seeks to bring the pandemic that has killed more than 500,000 people in the U.S. under control.
President Joe Biden this week voiced concerns that supply of vaccines later this spring would outstrip demand because of vaccine hesitancy.
White House is considering sending long-range JASSM cruise missiles to Ukraine, potentially enhancing the combat capability of recently transferred F-16 jets. While no final decision has been made, the Pentagon is working through technical and security details. This move follows a pattern of supplying Ukraine with increasingly advanced weaponry. With the first batch of F-16s already in Ukraine, focus is on comprehensive training and equipping. Russia warns that F-16 bases would become legitimate targets.

US Surgeon General , Declares Gun Violence in America , a ‘Public Health Crisis’.
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy
made the declaration in a new advisory released on June 25, CNN reports.
It is the first time that a surgeon general
has focused on gun violence's "profound consequences" in a national publication. .
Over the last decade or two,
this problem has been worsening and we
have now reached the point where gun violence is the leading cause of death among kids and teens – the leading cause of death. , Dr. Vivek Murthy, to CNN's John Berman.
That is something that we should
never take as the new normal.
There’s nothing normal about that, Dr. Vivek Murthy, to CNN's John Berman.
According to Murthy, the advisory is intended to take the polarizing issue of firearms "out of the realm of politics and put it into the realm of public health, which is where it belongs.".

Historically, we have seen how the
release of Surgeon General reports on
public health issues such as the dangers
of smoking ignited a wave of policy,
legal, and public health initiatives.., Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
... that saved countless American
lives and in this case led to
deprogramming our nation from
the tobacco industry’s lies. , Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
We hope this report will have
the same resounding impact on
the gun violence epidemic, Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
In 2022, over 48,000 people in America died from gun-related injuries, according to CDC data.

us to take on this generational challenge with
the urgency and clarity the moment demands.".

In the aftermath of Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec's unexpected rise to internet fame for his relaxed style at the Paris Olympics 2024, another striking image emerged online, quickly captivating social media users. The photograph, which seemingly depicted a man aiming at a target behind him while looking into a mirror, was lauded as a display of extraordinary skill. Many quickly dubbed the unidentified shooter as a "new legend" and speculated about his participation in the ongoing Olympics. However, the excitement was short-lived as investigations revealed the viral photograph to be a clever fabrication. The image, which was circulating with claims of being from the Paris Olympics, was actually a product of Photoshop. The man in the picture is not an Olympic marksman but rather Pongsak Pongsuwan, a well-known actor and comedian from Thailand. The image was a still from the popular Thai game show "Ching Roi Ching Lan," where Pongsuwan had performed a comedic skit. The background of the Paris Olympics was added to the image, misleading many into believing it was a real event.
