A new study suggests that a small portion of the population carries antibodies that respond to COVID-19. The study shows antibodies that were created long before the pandemic emerged last late year. The research indicates that some people may have a degree of preexisting immunity to the coronavirus. This would be lifted from previous bouts with the common cold caused by related viruses. But though it’s possible these findings could help explain some trends in the pandemic. However, it’s still unclear just how protective this borrowed immunity could really be says Gizmodo.

Diabetics who require insulin are at the mercy of the free market and whatever health insurance they may have, or discounts they can snag. Now, UPI reports diabetics in the United States are, compared to their counterparts abroad, well and truly over a barrel. According to a RAND Corp. analysis, insulin in the US costs more than eight times higher than in 32 other high-income nations combined. The average price per unit across all types of insulin in the US is $98.70, which is just over six times the drug's average price in Canada -- about $15.70. Researchers said it's also just under six times the average price in Britain and Japan -- about $16.70. Even if rebates and discounts drive the prices down for US consumers, they're still likely to pay four times the average paid in other high-income nations.
