Yep. Another Friday has rolled around on us. Our week is done. Hope it was a good one for you. And know you have been busy and looked forward to getting here. So now it’s time for you to sit down, take a load off and of course … rest, relax and recharge for the next couple of days. That’s an order (but we ask it in the nicest possible way). This week we sent out our 600th email. When we first started this at the beginning of 2020 we would never have guessed we would have come this far. But it’s another milestone that Josh and I hope has meant we were able to continue to inform and inspire you as well as remind all of us to always look for the good during some troubling times. A rather quiet news day but we still have a number of stories following in our Daily Recap with major Headlines and key Highlights, as well as the “Good Stuff”, US Snapshots, US Vaccinations, US Variant Cases, key Statistics, Vaccine and Treatment information, US Restrictions and the Back to Normal Index related to the novel coronavirus pandemic. This week, we have concentrated a lot on inspiration about helping others. And as we part ways tonight, we thought we would finish with the same theme and words of wisdom from Norman Vincent Peale, who said: When you become detached mentally from yourself and concentrate on helping other people with their difficulties, you will be able to cope with your own more effectively. Somehow, the act of self-giving is a personal power-releasing factor. There is nothing like helping someone else to help take our minds off our own challenges and struggles. Concentrating on letting someone know you are thinking of them, that you want to be sure they are ok or finding a way to lift them up. With nothing more than a simply hello, how are you, how was your day. Just a few words that can end up being such an important gesture to brighten someone’s day. Everyone has those days that just wears us down. And all it takes is us helping someone find their strength to keep going. To look ahead to another day that will be 1 brighter and bring hope. And in doing so bringing that inner feeling of peace to ourselves. Just little things that help. But that become big differences . Until Monday, here’s hoping you have a great weekend.

Headlines According to the Indian government's Covid-19 genome sequencing body, the Delta Plus variant exhibits several worrying traits such as increased transmissibility, stronger binding to receptors of lung cells, and a potential reduction in antibody response, and while it’s not yet clear what effect the mutation may have on vaccine efficacy, Julian Tang, professor of respiratory sciences at the University of Leicester, warned it could potentially give the variant "significant vaccine escape properties." Compared to the spike protein on earlier versions of the coronavirus, the spike on the worrisome Delta variant is better able to break into lung cells and fuse them together, researchers at Georg-August-University Göttingen in Germany have discovered, allowing the virus to spread faster in infected people and partially hide from the immune system. More than 4,100 people have been hospitalized or died with Covid-19 in the US even though they’ve been fully vaccinated, to be expected numbers according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a top advisor to the Food and Drug Administration, with at least 750 fully vaccinated people having died so far after contracting Covid, but the agency noted that 142 of those fatalities were asymptomatic or unrelated to Covid-19, according to data as of Monday that was released Friday. The World Health Organization on Friday urged fully vaccinated people to continue to wear masks, social distance and practice other Covid-19 pandemic safety measures, saying that the measures are needed to “play it safe” because a large portion of the world remains unvaccinated and highly contagious variants, like delta, are spreading in many countries, spurring outbreaks. The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control said in a report that the delta variant would be responsible for 90 percent of coronavirus infections in the European Union and the European Economic Area - which also includes Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway - by the end of August, and that any relaxation of covid protocols “could lead to a fast and significant increase in daily cases in all age groups” and a reprise of last year’s fall surge. The United Kingdom has one of the highest Covid-19 vaccination rates in the world, yet it’s seeing a new surge in coronavirus cases largely attributed to the delta variant that first originated in India, with experts saying that close attention is being paid to the latest data as it could be a bellwether for others, and there is a fear that where the country now treads, others - like the US - could follow. Indonesia, the world’s fourth-most populous country, recorded more than 20,000 cases of Covid-19, the highest number since the pandemic began on Thursday, with oxygen again running out at hospitals in the capital, Jakarta, and the national percentage of positive virus tests reaching 14.6 percent this past week. Canada projects COVID-19 infections will decline rapidly over the next two months, but the more contagious Delta variant risks causing a greater-than-expected resurgence of cases later this year, public health officials said on Friday. A new study led by Britain’s Kent University suggests that the first coronavirus case in China probably occurred on November 17, 2019, and using statistic modeling techniques, researchers said that the first US case most likely emerged on January 16, 2020. The Transportation Security Administration will begin teaching self-defense to flight crews next week in a program that had been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, officials said, a revival that comes as travel inches closer to pre-pandemic levels, bringing with it pent-up anger from consumers, according to Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants union. Royal Caribbean’s Celebrity Edge is less than 24 hours away from setting sail off the coast of Florida, the first passenger cruise from a US port since the Covid pandemic shuttered the industry’s operations across the globe last year. The Good Stuff: A Florida high school principal recently made graduation extra special for all 459 of his graduating seniors after they went through the pandemic. Earlier this month, Matanzas High School Principal Jeff Reaves presented 2 each member of the graduating class with a personal, handwritten letter before they walked across the stage to receive their diplomas. Reaves, who became a principal at the Palm Coast school four years ago when the graduating seniors were freshman, dug deep to make each letter unique, sifting through "yearbooks, student files and transcripts," as well as conversations and relationships. He wrote the notes from March through graduation day. "I want to be positive for our students, especially in a time where there's a lot of negativity and turmoil in the world," Reaves said.

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.
