March 3 (Reuters) - Global ratings agency Moody's downgraded Silvergate Capital Corp's (SI.N) deposit rating to 'Caa1' from 'Ba3' on Friday, after the crypto-focused bank raised going concern doubts earlier this week.

Moody's said the Silvergate rating change reflects its "expectation that the company will continue to experience further declines in deposits, forcing it to continue selling securities, potentially at further losses." The bank's ratings were also placed on review for downgrade, Moody's said. Reporting by Eva Mathews in Bengaluru; Editing by Shinjini GanguliOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

They said Silvergate in December had declined to fully answer related questions, citing restrictions on disclosing "confidential supervisory information", the report added.

☆ The CDC is considering testing airline poop and toilet waste for COVID-19 as anxieties rise about China's virus spread
  + stars: | 2022-12-31 | by ( Bethany Dawson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The US is considering testing airline wastewater for COVID-19 to track the virus. Wastewater tests showed the presence of COVID-19 variants up to two weeks before people tested positive using nasal swabs. Three infectious disease experts told Reuters that testing wastewater collected on airplanes would be more effective at tracking the virus than testing travelers on entry. According to the South China Morning Post, the Malaysian government has announced that they will start screening toilet water on flights from China to track the virus. They will not, however, be testing travelers upon arrival to Malaysia.

The United States this week also expanded its voluntary genomic sequencing program at airports, adding Seattle and Los Angeles to the program. "Previous Covid-19 wastewater surveillance has shown to be a valuable tool and airplane wastewater surveillance could potentially be an option," she wrote. French researchers reported in July that airplane wastewater tests showed requiring negative Covid tests before international flights does not protect countries from the spread of new variants. They found the omicron variant in wastewater from two commercial airplanes that flew from Ethiopia to France in December 2021 even though passengers had been required to take Covid tests before boarding. Osterholm and others said mandatory testing before travel to the United States is unlikely to keep new variants out of the country.

Atlanta lawmakers want short-term rentals to be licensed and to fine owners who violate city laws. In some cities, government officials are trying to regulate the number of short-term rentals that investors can purchase. The debate over short-term rentals in Atlanta is emblematic of similar debates in other cities. For instance, voters in Colorado towns like Dillon, Aspen, and Steamboat Springs this year approved measures to tax short-term rentals to help regular homebuyers afford homes. There are more than 1,300 short-term rentals in Joshua Tree, according to AirDNA, compared with a population of 7,700.

The following describes the new coronavirus subvariants and how they may impact people. WHAT ARE BQ.1 AND BQ.1.1? In early July, BA.5 became the dominant subvariant of the coronavirus circulating in the United States, but in October it started giving way to BQ.1 and BQ.1.1. A study of blood from three dozen adults showed the shot increased neutralizing antibodies against the BA.4/BA.5 Omicron subvariants by fourfold compared with the original shot after one month. read moreIt is not yet clear whether that will translate into higher protection against the BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 subvariants, but their close relationship to BA.5 may work in the booster's favor.
☆ ‘Alexis Smith: The American Way’ Review: Southern California Collage
  + stars: | 2022-10-15 | by ( Peter Plagens | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
La Jolla , Calif.Alexis Smith is not quite a feminist artist, not quite a conceptualist, not quite an installation artist, not always an ironist, and in the beginning she wasn’t even Alexis Smith. In her art, however, Ms. Smith is at times all of those things. Collage—intimate and mural-sized—is her metier, and her sensibility is more literary than plastic. One could easily get the idea from the 50 works on view in “Alexis Smith: The American Way” at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla that the artist has read most of the Great Books of the Western World and seen almost every movie and stage musical ever made. This is slyly accomplished by—to describe a typical Smith collage—a small pictorial souvenir from popular culture coupled with a few typewritten words from, for example, a Raymond Chandler L.A. detective novel.

☆ Studiu: COVID-19 ar putea fi o afecţiune vasculară şi nu una respiratorie

Potrivit cercătătorilor, COVID-19 nu ar fi o afecţiune a aparatului respirator, ci a celui vascular. Proteina S a virusului, „vârful” care alcătuieşte coroana, atacă receptorul ACE2, deteriorând mitocondriile, care generează energia celulelor, iar acest lucru provoacă leziuni endoteliului, care acoperă vasele de sânge. „Multe persoane cred că este o afecţiune respiratorie, dar în realitate este o afecţiune vasculară”, spune profesorul Uri Manor, co-autorul studiului. De fapt, chiar de la începutul pandemiei, aceasta a reprezentat o problemă reală a secţiilor de terapie intensivă. Pentru profesorul Mendiluce, aceast studiu nu pune în discuţie vaccinurile deja existente, chiar dacă e necesar să se înţeleagă de ce Astra-Zeneca şi Johnson&Johnson au provocat câteva cazuri de trombi în sânge.

Mai mult, este cel mai cuprinzător și mai îndelungat studiu al memoriei imune la coronavirus până în prezent. La opt luni de la infecție, majoritatea persoanelor care și-au revenit, au încă suficiente celule imune pentru a evita virusul și a preveni bolile, arată noile date. Ideea a fost de a construi o imagine a răspunsului imun în timp. Îngrijorările cu privire la cât de mult persistă imunitatea la coronavirus au fost declanșate în principal de cercetarea acelor viruși care cauzează răceli comune. Până acum, cel puțin, a remarcat el, reinfectările cu coronavirus par a fi rare.
