After obliterating the federal office on long COVID and clawing back billions in COVID funding from state health departments, the Trump administration has now entirely erased the online hub for federal COVID-19 resources. In its place now stands a site promoting the unproven idea that the pandemic virus SARS-CoV-2 was generated in and leaked from a lab in China, sparking the global health crisis. Navigating to COVID.gov brings up a slick site with rich content that lays out arguments and allega

Comment It might take a particularly shameless company to grasp the opportunity presented by the UK's coronavirus pandemic and step in with a sales pitch. US spy-tech biz Palantir is willing to give it a go. In a witness statement to the UK COVID-19 Inquiry [PDF], an ongoing independent public inquiry into the nation's response to the pandemic (in which around 208,000 people died), Louis Mosley, executive veep of Palantir Technologies UK, said the government should invest in a "common operating

Image by Getty / Futurism Cancer With the help of mRNA technology proven effective during the COVID pandemic, researchers are now closer than ever to creating viable cancer vaccines. In an interview with Wired, Lennard Lee, an oncologist with the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS) working on mRNA cancer vaccines, says he believes the groundbreaking research may prove to be a "silver lining" in the brutal COVID-19 pandemic. Before COVID, as Lee told the magazine, "cancer vaccines w

We document that, after remaining almost constant for almost 30 years, real labor productivity at U.S. restaurants surged over 15% during the COVID pandemic. This surge has persisted even as many conditions have returned to pre-pandemic levels. Using mobile phone data tracking visits and spending at more than 100,000 individual limited service restaurants across the country, we explore the potential sources of the surge. It cannot be explained by economies of scale, expanding market power, or a

Lennard Lee, a UK National Health Service oncologist and medical director at the Ellison Institute of Technology in Oxford, calls himself just a “simple doctor,” but he’s anything but. During the pandemic, he led clinical efforts that showed it was still safe to give cancer patients chemotherapy, disproving fears that the coronavirus made this too risky, helping to maintain cancer treatment worldwide. He also delivered UK research that showed lateral flow testing was effective in identifying the

Half a decade after the covid-19 pandemic began, the threat of another fast-spreading viral outbreak remains. On Thursday, a new program based at the University of Cambridge launched to help the world prepare for it. While covid’s origins still haven’t been definitively determined, the Engineered Pandemics Risk Management Programme was established on the belief that a future pandemic could be the result of a deliberate, human-made effort. Its research will focus partly on preventing such an out

COVID-19 vaccines cut the risk of long COVID by between 57–73 percent in kids and teens, according to a study published today in JAMA Network Open. And there's more good news: A second study published today in the journal offered more data that the now-annual shots are not linked to sudden cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death in young athletes—a claim that gained traction on social media and among anti-vaccine groups during the acute phase of the pandemic. Together, the studies bolster curren
