Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths continue, but some world leaders are signaling that the viral illness might not be a global emergency much longer. President Biden said the pandemic was over in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes,” drawing criticism from some public-health experts. Four days prior, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the pandemic was ongoing but that its end was in sight.

☆ Biden's comments about pandemic widen public health split over how US should respond to Covid-19
  + stars: | 2022-09-19 | by ( Brenda Goodman | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Some public health experts worry that political motives are driving the President's desire to declare the pandemic over, rather than protection of the public's health. It's a 9/11, week after week after week," said Gregg Gonsalves, an epidemiologist at the Yale School of Public Health. The World Health Organization recognizes a global health threat as something different: a public health emergency of international concern, or PHEIC. The US also recognizes a public health emergency. Covid-19 is still considered to be a public health emergency both domestically and around the world.
☆ Biden announces tentative deal to avert U.S. rail strike
  + stars: | 2022-09-15 | by ( Chantal Da Silva | Eli M. Rosenberg | Leticia Miranda | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +7 min
The White House struck a tentative deal Thursday to avoid a rail strike that risked major disruptions across the United States, with freight workers securing a key demand. Pandemic pressures, including those that scrambled supply chains, worked in freight workers’ favor, logistics experts said. A rail strike would dent many industries, as about 40% of goods that are shipped long-distance rely on the nation’s rail system. Rail workers often are on-call 24/7 year-round and are allotted time off only after being called to a number of consecutive on-call shifts. A labor union source told NBC News that getting rail carriers to negotiate on attendance policies was a major breakthrough.

(CNN) As part of the White House's Covid-19 response plan for the fall, the US Department of Health and Human Services is debuting a video ad to encourage people to get the updated Covid-19 booster shot -- especially those who are 50 and older. An English version of the ad begins airing on television Thursday, and a Spanish version will air beginning Monday, according to HHS. These ads, first reported on CNN, also will go live on radio and online, and a print campaign is expected Monday. "These ads highlight the importance of getting updated vaccines, especially for older Americans -- directing them to Vaccines.gov," Sarah Lovenheim, HHS assistant secretary for public affairs, told CNN in an email. "The HHS COVID-19 Vaccine Public Education Campaign continues to work tirelessly to ensure Americans have the information and access they need to protect themselves from COVID-19."

Reese Brown on a travel nurse assignment in New Jersey in May 2020. The short-lived travel nurse boom was a temporary fix for a long-term decline in the profession that predates the pandemic. In the 1980s and the 1990s, travel nurses were often covering for staff nurses who were on maternity leave, meaning that 13-week contracts become common. By 2021, travel nurses were earning an average of $124.96 an hour, according to the research firm — three times the hourly rate of staff nurses, according to federal statistics. Courtesy Pamela Esmond“The reality is they don’t pay staff nurses enough, and if they would pay staff nurses enough, we wouldn’t have this problem,” she said.

After thousands of Americans were hospitalized for vaping-related illnesses, many resulting in death, it became startlingly clear the habit isn't safe. Vaping isn't as safe as it was once thought to be. Until these illnesses cropped up en masse, though, many people considered vaping a safer alternative to smoking nicotine-containing products. Companies like Juul that sell popular flavor-containing vape juices and vape devices are now taking a financial hit. Nonetheless, it's clear vaping isn't risk-free like it was once thought to be.
