“I told them, ‘While you’re searching for it, please make the day-to-day struggle of being a diabetic easier,’” said Lohman, a successful entrepreneur who has been a Type 1 diabetic for 55 years.

Now, Lohman and his wife, Nancy, are making a $4 million donation to support that goal by establishing Lohman Diabetes Center of Excellence at Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach. It is conceived as a one-stop resource center for diabetes patients

Republican Treasurer Dale Folwell, 61, is running for re-election. Challenging him is Aaron “Ronnie” Chatterji, 41, a first-time Democratic candidate with a very different background.

Folwell, a certified public accountant, is the first Republican to be elected N.C. treasurer in 140 years. He was a state representative for eight years before running for treasurer. A native of Winston-Salem and alumnus of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Folwell touts his familial and political ties to the state.

The son of Indian immigrants, Chatterji would be the first Asian American elected to statewide office in North Carolina if elected. He is a tenured Duke University business and public policy professor. He argues that his lack of political

$1B US Coronavirus Fund Remains Unspent, Except For Trump Ad On COVID-19

October 2, 2020

| Health

KEY POINTS

  • The bulk of the CDC’s $1 billion coronavirus funding remains unspent despite multiple requests to do so
  • The funding was part of the Paycheck Protection Program authorized five months ago to help fight the virus
  • The Trump administration directed $200 million of the funding to a $300 million anti-virus ad campaign

Most of the $1 billion funding package intended to help the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conduct COVID-19 contract tracing and testing remains unspent, except for $200 million the Trump administration used for ad campaign about the virus. 

According to a Bloomberg report, which cited unnamed sources familiar with the situation, the $1 billion in funding was part of the Paycheck Protection Program and Care Enhancement Act, which was authorized more than five months ago.

The relief package was intended to help the CDC improve its surveillance, epidemiology, and contact tracing efforts. It was

time for national plans to help fund global COVID-19 vaccine effort

By Michelle Nichols and Stephanie Nebehay

NEW YORK/GENEVA (Reuters) – United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday it is time for countries to start using money from their national COVID-19 recovery and response plans to help fund the World Health Organization’s global vaccine plan.

The Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator programme and its COVAX facility has so far received $3 billion, but needs another $35 billion. It aims to deliver two billion doses of coronavirus vaccines by the end of next year, 245 million treatments and 500 million tests.

“The ACT-Accelerator provides the only safe and certain way to re-open the global economy as quickly as possible. A national vaccine effort in a handful of countries will not unlock the doors to the global economy and restore livelihoods,” Guterres told a high-level virtual U.N. event.

For-hire drivers in New York City can benefit further from a membership with the Black Car Fund which will be expanding the benefits of their program through a surcharge increase of half a percentage point, expected to offer more help in the ongoing pandemic.

The state legislature voted last year to approve the BCF surcharge on customers of Uber, Lyft and other services from 2.5 to 3% which help them provide a new, yet-to-be determined benefit on top of the telemedicine care for drivers, workers’ compensation, safety courses and wellness classes that come free to drivers.

“In these difficult times, we must ensure that for-hire drivers in New York have access to benefits that help them cope with COVID-19 and allow them to maintain both their physical and financial health,” said Ira
