Problem at Roche warehouse raises fears over UK COVID tests

October 7, 2020

LONDON (AP) — Swiss pharmaceutical firm Roche said Wednesday that problems at a U.K. warehouse are delaying shipments of testing products to clinics and hospitals, triggering concerns that COVID-19 testing may be disrupted as infection rates rise around Britain.

Roche informed doctors about the problem at its U.K. distribution center in Sussex, southern England, in a letter that advised customers to “prioritize essential services only.”

Roche said the problem arose after it moved to a new automatic warehouse in September.

The company said that it was “prioritizing the dispatch of COVID-19 PCR and antibody tests and doing everything we can to ensure there is no impact on the supply of these” to the National Health Service.

The glitch affects materials needed to conduct blood tests and screening for diseases including diabetes and cancer. Roche said it could take two weeks to fix the problem.

According to the recent report by America’s Health Rankings (AHR) food insecurity is a social and economic condition where access to food is limited or uncertain. Food insecurity is a lack of consistent access to enough safe, nutritious and socially acceptable food for an active, healthy and productive life. It can be cyclical, or episodic–associated with a crisis like COVID-19.

In 2018, an estimated 37 million Americans, including 11 million children were food insecure. Food insecurity has broad effects on health due to the mental and physical stress that it places

The neighborhoods we live in dictate a whole lot about our lives. The stores we patronize or the schools our children attend, just to name a few examples.

Now, a new study from Drexel University concludes that one’s neighborhood may also put them at a considerably higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease.

In more exact terms, the research team says people living in low socioeconomic neighborhoods (low average income, low average education level) may be more susceptible to chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, and poor blood sugar control.

Besides just your neighbor’s finances, a neighborhood’s walkability, availability of healthy food options, and rate of violent crime all appear to influence residents’ odds of developing chronic kidney disease as well.

“Our finding, that people who are living in neighborhoods with the fewest resources are at highest risk for kidney disease, should be a call to health providers to integrate

The pandemic is having severe economic and health impacts around the world. The food sector is critical and felt the impact. In many countries, consumers faced food shortages and price hikes. Farmers were stuck with food they could no longer sell. Restrictions on movement and business closures led to an upsurge in food loss and waste at different points of the food value chain. We all saw images of farmers forced to dump milk and plow crops back into their fields, while others ran out of food. Other shocks—such as the largest desert locust outbreak in decades, and droughts—also showed the vulnerability of harvests to climate change.

Food insecurity is on the rise in many countries. It’s most acute in countries experiencing conflict and climate impacts. But hunger is
