More than 74 million Americans--and those they live with--are at increased risk for severe COVID-19. An analysis published Monday by JAMA Internal Medicine reveals those 74 million are classified as 'essential workers' in the US. Researchers say the workers' risk is based on disease risk guidelines developed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. UPI reports that of the more than 157 million workers across the country, 72% are in jobs deemed essential by the US Department of Homeland Security. What's more, UPI reports over three-fourths of all essential workers are unable to work at home.
Kabul (Afghanistan), Oct 9 (EFE / EPA).- Some 3.2 million children under the age of five are at risk of severe malnutrition in Afghanistan at the end of the year. This has been announced by the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef), which relates the increase in these data with the takeover of the country by the Taliban.FOOTAGE OF AFGHAN CHILDREN IN KABUL.
A former public affairs official of the US Department of Health and Human Services pressured the CDC to alter a report on the risk of COVID-19 to children. Specifically, the editorial staff was pushed to alter epidemiological data on COVID-19's impact on children. The novel coronavirus is estimated to have infected at least 7.43 million people in the US and has killed nearly 210,000 of them. Paul Alexander wrote in emails to the editor-in-chief of the CDC’s epidemiological digest—the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report—on Sept. 11th, 2020. He ordered changes that would downplay the risks to students and faculty if schools return to in-person classes, as President Donald Trump has demanded. The requested changes seemed designed to convey a lower level of risk to students if Trump’s orders were acted on. One former CDC official described Alexander making contact at all with the journal’s staff as highly 'unusual.' That's because the CDC and its journal are supposed to be insulated from external interference.

A rare female newborn blue-eyed black lemur, Ikopa, was moved to the La Palmyre Zoo nursery in Les Mathes, France to receive special care due to her fragility and low weight. Born on April 9, Ikopa continues to receive special care from her keepers, who feel her milk every two hours, as well as bits of fruits and vegetables. While Ikopa musters up enough strength to leave her incubators, her parents and older brother can maintain visual contact with her from their adjacent cage. Blue-eyed black lemurs, like all true lemurs can only be found on the African island nation of Madagascar and their numbers have drastically fallen. These primates are classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as "critically endangered" because humans have cut down nearly all the forest areas which these animals call home to clear land for farming. It is believed that as few as 1,000 blue-eyed black lemurs remain in the wild.
