Friday. Friday. Say it with me. Sing it if you want to. And of course breaking into a happy dance is always permitted. A good evening Everyone! Yep, we’re done. Our week has concluded. And that means a couple of days for us to unwind. Take a load off. And of course do your normal marching orders. Rest, relax and recharge. Following are major Headlines, the “Good Stuff”, US Snapshots, US Vaccinations, US Variant Cases, Highlights, as well as key Statistics, Vaccine and Treatment information, US Restrictions and the Back to Normal Index related to the novel coronavirus pandemic. As we say goodbye until Monday, our words of wisdom to give you some inspiration and hopefully a smile come from Brene Brown, who said: I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness - it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude. We’ve talked many times about the special moments that we can easily overlook and take for granted. Hopefully one thing we have come to realize over the last 16 months is how special and precious every one of those moments can be. And not to waste them. And be sure to take the time to embrace them whenever we can. They don’t have to be big moments. They are the little things that happy every day that we need to be sure to slow down and see so we don’t miss them. Because they are the ones that make our lives special and complete. So be sure to look. Be sure to grab onto them. And be sure to remember that they won’t be here tomorrow and how important it is to live them today .

Headlines 1 The existing vaccines in England are “highly effective” in preventing hospitalization and death among risk groups, Public Health England said Friday following a recent study, and for people in risk groups age 16 to 64, the study showed that “overall vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease in risk groups is approximately 60% after one dose of either AstraZeneca or Pfizer-BioNTech” and 81% after the second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, with no data for Pfizer. The inflammatory heart conditions of myocarditis and pericarditis may occur as side effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines, the European Medicines Agency concluded Friday, recommending that the two rare conditions be added as side effects to the product information for both vaccines, as well as a warning highlighting the risk to medical professionals and patients alike. People who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 should continue to feel very protected against serious disease, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said today, adding that cases where vaccinated people get infected but have no symptoms should be seen as "vaccine success," not failure, because the vaccine is doing what it was developed to do in preventing severe disease and death. All adults and children who exhibit upper respiratory symptoms should be tested for Covid-19, regardless of their vaccination status, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Friday, adding that while there has been an increase in the number of cases of the common cold as more people emerge from their Covid bubbles, ample testing is now available and should be performed on people who exhibit symptoms such as congestion, runny nose, sore throat, cough or trouble breathing. Dr. Mayrol Juarez, a critical care physician at Mercy Hospital Springfield in Missouri where new cases are exploding, said that many of his patients are "shocked" that Covid-19 truly exists and that it can make people very sick and even kill them, adding "A comment they make all the time is that they wish that they knew they were going to end up in the hospital this sick and they would have made a different choice and got the vaccine.” Two studies released Thursday confirm that children are at very low risk of complications and death from coronavirus infections, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that 391 children up to age 18 have died from Covid-19 in the US out of more than 606,000 people total during the pandemic, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Former US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams stressed his concern about the Delta variant Friday, saying it is “Covid’s new offense, and our defense is vaccinations, testing and masking and we’re not where we want to be on any of those measures," adding that he is most worried about under-vaccinated pockets of the country and the fact that the FDA hasn’t given an update on full approval of the vaccines - which is causing hesitancy in people and causing institutions to delay decisions on vaccine mandates The two largest US unions representing educators expressed approval on Friday of new federal guidelines calling for schools to fully reopen, while acknowledging that more challenges lay ahead with children under 12 not eligible for vaccination, with Becky Pringle, the president of the National Education Alliance, the largest teachers’ union in the country, saying the guidelines were an “important road map for reducing the risk of Covid-19 in schools.” As countless fans across England gathered on Wednesday to watch their team defeat Denmark in the European Championship semifinal, coronavirus cases have spiked across the nation and researchers have hinted at a possible link between the sudden rise and gatherings for games that have mostly ignored social distancing measures, with research released on Thursday showing that men were currently 30 percent more likely to be infected with the coronavirus than women - a finding that could dampen the excitement of the legions of mostly male fans hoping to celebrate a victory in the soccer final on Sunday. A ceremony marking the Olympic torch’s arrival in Tokyo was held in a nearly empty park on Friday, a day after the city declared a new state of emergency over a rise in Covid-19 cases and organizers of the Summer Games said they would bar spectators from most events, with the city’s rising numbers part of a surge across the Asia Pacific region, where countries that once led the world in containing the virus are grappling with new variants and a lack of vaccines. The Federal Reserve says that its low interest rate policies are providing “powerful support” for the economy as it recovers from the coronavirus pandemic, and in its twice-a-year report to Congress on monetary policy released Friday, the Fed indicated that it plans to maintain that support until further progress is made in recovering from last year's severe recession. Millions of individuals and families stand to receive money from the government through stimulus checks and monthly child tax credit payments, however many are still waiting on their stimulus checks, while others may not 2 know how to sign up for the child tax credit payments, with the Internal Revenue Service this weekend holding live events in 12 cities to help individuals and families who do not typically file tax returns access the money.

Abstract: Various strategies have been designed to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Among them, vaccine development is high on the agenda in spite of the unknown duration of the protection time. Various vaccines have been under clinical trials with promising results in different countries. The protective efficacy and the short-term and long-term side effects of the vaccines are of major concern. Therefore, comparing the protective efficacy and risks of vaccination is essential for the global control of COVID-19 through herd immunity. This study reviews the most recent data of 12 vaccines to evaluate their efficacy, safety profile and usage in various populations. Citation: Yan, Z.-P.; Yang, M.; Lai, C.-L.

  • Reasons for Success and Lessons Learnt from Nanoscale Vaccines Against COVID-19
    comment Reasons for success and lessons learnt from nanoscale vaccines against COVID-19 Almost all currently used vaccines against COVID-19 consist of either non-viral or viral nanoparticles. Here we attempt to understand the reasons behind the success of such advanced nanoscale vaccine technologies compared with clinically established conventional vaccines, and the lessons to be learnt from this potentially transformative development in the adoption and acceptance of nanotechnology for medicine. Thomas Kisby, Açelya Yilmazer and Kostas Kostarelos he outbreak of a novel coronavirus vaccine technologies such as those almost all of the candidates falling within the (CoV) causing severe acute based on inactivated/attenuated virions nanoscale size range (Fig. 1). Trespiratory syndrome (SARS) was (entire virus particles) or on viral protein The current scale of administration initially identified in China in late 2019 and fragments, which have traditionally led and therefore exposure to non-viral or rapidly developed into a global pandemic the way in terms of clinical presence, viral nanoparticles constitutes an with devastating health and economic market share and regulatory approval, unprecedented phenomenon of historic consequences1. Driven by this, concerted have been clearly outplayed in both speed proportions and implications. The effort by hundreds of laboratories across and immunoprotective efficacy by highly immediate reaction, even by some members the world has led to the most rapid vaccine innovative technologies with no prior of the scientific community, has been to development in history, with clinical approved clinical use4. Even more remarkable acclaim nanoscience and nanomedicine trials of promising candidates completed is that most of these vaccine candidates rely as ‘saviours’ of humankind.
