And a good evening to you. What? We blinked and Monday is already gone. How about that. I don’t know about you but I looked up and it was already after 5. Busy days do go by quick. So, with one day of our week already in the books, following is our Daily Recap of major Headlines, the “Good Stuff”, US Snapshots, US Vaccinations, US Variant Cases, key Highlights, as well as key Statistics, Vaccine and Treatment information, US Restrictions and the Back to Normal Index related to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Tonight’s inspiration, short on words but long in wisdom is from Oscar Wilde, who said: When it rains look for rainbows. When it’s dark look for stars. Now why does this quote remind me of the old glass half-empty, glass-half full saying. Our days and lives take on different appearances. One day can be good. The next can be a struggle. We can be on top of the world and smiling one day. And the next we can be facing adversity and struggling just to keep moving forward. But the trick is to always do our best to try to find the positive, even in the negative situations. Do our best to remember to be grateful for what we have, even when things are tough. And remember to smile for being given those family and friends that make our days special. Just know that after a storm a rainbow gives us hope of a brighter sky ahead and when things get dark the lights of the stars remind us there is beauty in a night sky. So keep looking for the little things in our lives, the positives that keep us lifted up and the belief that tomorrow will hold the promise of the next end to the storm and light our way in the dark . CVOB Website Dashboard, individual US State, US County, Global Trending Charts and Data as well as US Vaccinations, US Restrictions and our Communications Archive can be found at https://www.sunknighty.net/. 1 Headlines Early results from the Com-COV British vaccine study at the University of Oxford suggest that mixing different brands of vaccines can provoke a protective immune response against Covid-19, a trial that showed volunteers produced high levels of antibodies and immune cells after getting one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and one dose of the AstraZeneca-Oxford shot, regardless of the order they were administered. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has not been linked with a higher risk for the facial nerve paralysis known as Bell's palsy, but COVID-19 itself does increase the risk, suggest two separate studies published last week in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. The United Kingdom is about a month or two ahead of the US when it comes to the spread of the Delta variant, which means there is some helpful data to make predictions before a potential outbreak, with health experts estimating that the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines are about 90% effective at preventing illness and 94% effective against severe illness and hospitalization. Vaccines are working against Covid-19, including the highly contagious delta variant - but the challenge is in getting enough people inoculated, according to William Schaffner, the professor of preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, who said “Leaving it in the refrigerator doesn’t help, that won’t prevent disease” and stressing “You have got to move that vaccine into arms.” The US is “never going to have zero” new daily Covid cases, former Food and Drug Administration chief Dr. Scott Gottlieb said Monday, explaining “We’re always going to have some level of spread,” predicting infections will become endemic like the seasonal flu, meaning they will remain present in the American population. While the Houston Methodist hospital system remains in the national spotlight for forcing out 153 employees who refused to get vaccinated, dozens of hospitals have quietly begun following the Texas hospital's lead of mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for their employees. Talks between US and Britain regarding a travel corridor are increasingly unlikely to reach a conclusion by the end of July, according to officials, who added the rise in cases of the Delta variant in Britain, the complexities of the US political system and uncertainty over the status of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the US, where it is not yet approved, were set to extend the talks into August and even September. The United Kingdom reported the most new infections since February, but Britain will lift most of its remaining COVID-19 restrictions on July 19 in what has been dubbed "Freedom Day" the government said on Monday, despite fears that an increase in coronavirus cases, fueled by the delta variant, could lead to more deaths. As the surging delta coronavirus variant forces countries to reinstate restrictions, Israel's new government is standing pat, counting on herd immunity and expressing faith that the nation's high vaccination rate is shielding people from the variant's worst effects, and though the number of positive cases is rising, few people are becoming seriously ill. Australia faced a grim and unfamiliar challenge on Monday with simultaneous outbreaks in several parts of the country fueled by the spread of the highly infectious Delta variant, and in the most notable outbreak centered in Sydney, which has sent the city into at least a two-week lockdown, cases grew by 18 on Monday and now stand at 130, with other states also reporting new cases and toughened restrictions. Bogus vaccination certificates are booming in Russia as Moscow orders 60 percent of workers who interact with the public to get inoculated or get different jobs, with the capital on Sunday logging a record 144 covid-19 deaths in 24 hours. Data collated by online scientific publication, Our World In Data, showed around 22.6% of the world’s population have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine - but most of them are in high-income, wealthy countries in North America and Western Europe with less than 1% of people in low-income countries have received at least one dose. Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, who had taken time off to recuperate from fatigue, will be off-duty for a few more days than planned, and with the 2020 Games beginning in just 25 days, infections have started rising again in the Japanese capital. Airline and retail workers aren't the only ones facing public wrath for trying to do their jobs as the coronavirus slammed the US, with nearly a quarter of public health workers reporting feeling bullied, harassed or threatened due to their work, with 1 in 8 saying they had received job-related threats, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2 Recently freed from regulators' coronavirus restrictions, the largest US banks on Monday announced plans to return tens of billions of dollars to their shareholders over the next year in the form of dividends and stock buybacks, a signal that banks are looking to reward their shareholders after last year's pandemic-driven losses and also a sign banks at the moment see few places to put their big profits other than back into the hands of their shareholders. The Transportation Security Administration is offering $1,000 hiring bonuses as part of its push to add 6,000 screeners by the end of September, and so far it has hired about 4,000, with airports serving Austin, Texas; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Charlotte, North Carolina, recently telling travelers to arrive as much as three hours early because of long security lines.

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.
