Pandemic’s total cost to America: $16 trillion

October 12, 2020
| No Comments
| Health

The coronavirus pandemic will end up costing Americans $16 trillion, far more than anyone predicted when the virus first emerged in the U.S. back in March, according to a new study released on Monday.

Ohio reopens: Malls reopen to few customers

The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, was co-authored by former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and Harvard University economist David Cutler. Summers was also a top economic adviser to Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and is a former president of Harvard.

Their estimated cost includes a theoretical estimate for the value of a human life, and is spread out over the next decade. It also relies on an estimate that the eventual U.S. death toll from the pandemic will more than triple by the end of next year.

Fix America With Libraries, Playgrounds, and Parks

Eric Klinenberg: Worry less about crumbling roads, more about crumbling libraries

The response of reformers was to imagine a radical alternative: public oversight and control of these utilities, if not outright municipalization. This “sewer socialism,” at the state and municipal levels, led to the first electric, water, and transportation utilities. Over time, the idea of the public utility became the forerunner of the modern administrative and regulatory state, as state officials pioneered public-utility regulation over other necessities, including milk, ice, and banking. Practically as soon as public utilities and other public services emerged, they became the heart of the struggle for racial equity. After the Civil War, Congress briefly seized the opportunity to advance a variety of foundational civil-rights provisions. A hostile Supreme Court invalidated these efforts, helping usher in a century of Jim Crow segregation—until the civil-rights movement vindicated the aspiration for desegregation and equal access to public goods.

Washington D.C., Oct. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In the United States, the burden of asthma falls disproportionately on poor, low-wealth, and minority populations. Decades of research and public health data show stark disparities in asthma prevalence, mortality and health care utilization along socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic lines with Black, Hispanic and Indigenous Americans under the heaviest burden. This was once again demonstrated in the comprehensive report Asthma Disparities in America: A Roadmap to Reducing Burden on Racial and Ethnic Minorities issued by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA).

The problem can’t be solved alone. That’s why AAFA and the Improving Pediatric Asthma Care in the District of Columbia (IMPACT DC) Asthma Clinic at Children’s National Hospital are coming together to lead a national collaborative dedicated

Why Global Citizens Should Care

During a crisis, it is especially difficult for women and children to access health care and maintain financial stability. The United Nations’ Global Goal 3 aims to ensure that everyone has access to the health services they need. You can join us and take action to help protect women and children from COVID-19 here.

Women and children are losing access to health and social services worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic — and it could have a dire effect on maternal and child mortality rates in Latin America and the Caribbean.

A new report commissioned by UNICEF and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and released on Sept. 28 found that the pandemic is

Even when there isn’t a pandemic, finding the right doctor can be tough in rural eastern Ohio. Reid Davis, 21, and his mother Crystal live in Jefferson County, which hugs the Ohio River near West Virginia. Their home is surrounded by farms, hayfields and just a few neighbors.

“To the nearest hospital, you’re talking about 50 minutes to an hour,” Reid Davis says.

Davis’ mother has rheumatoid arthritis, a severe autoimmune condition, for which she sees a specialist. That doctor prescribes an injectable medication and also works on her joints to ease inflammation and pain, he says.

But when

Sick and Chained: Plight of Countless Africans With Mental Health Conditions | Voice of America

JOHANNESBERG, SOUTH AFRICA – For nearly a year, Benjamin Billal was chained to a rock.

“I was taken to a faith healing center by my grandmother and my mother,” Billal told journalists by video link from Monrovia, Liberia on Tuesday. “There, I was shackled. I was chained to a rock, where I stayed for about 11 months. There, there was no food. They gave us food at will — when they feel like giving you food, they gave you food. And there, we had no freedom moving around. You want to move around, you move around with chains.”

What did he do to get this treatment? According to doctors at Liberia’s only mental health facility — where he was finally taken after 11 months of being shackled — he was suffering from depression.

Shackling, restraining and detaining patients with mental health conditions is a sadly common practice in Africa, with

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Monday indicated he would participate in the next scheduled debate with President Donald Trump if experts determined it was safe.

“I’ll do whatever the experts say is appropriate to do,” Biden told reporters before he boarded his campaign plane.

He said he would “listen to the science” to make the decision, adding that “we should be very cautious.”

The former vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, are scheduled to deliver remarks in Miami later Monday. The pair has so far tested negative for the virus following the news that Trump and several people in his inner circle were diagnosed with COVID-19.

In the 1993 romcom Dave, the President of the United States suffers a stroke while in flagrante delicto. His chief of staff, attempting to seize power from the comatose President, finds a POTUS doppelganger, the titular Dave. A principled mensch, Dave bucks the malevolent chief of staff and promotes his own policies to help the masses whence he hails. Meanwhile, the President remains on life support in a secure room on the White House’s third floor.

Dave is obviously not a documentary—but it’s accurate in at least one aspect: throughout American history, Presidents who have suffered health crises, even in the mass media era, have tended
