WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. added a second COVID-19 vaccine to its arsenal Friday, boosting efforts to beat back an outbreak so dire that the nation is regularly recording more than 3,000 deaths a day.
Much-needed doses are set to arrive Monday after the Food and Drug Administration authorized an emergency rollout of the vaccine developed by Moderna Inc. and the National Institutes of Health.

Like Will the U.S. ever have a national COVID-19 testing strategy?December 6, 2020 at 2:21 PM NEW YORK — As the coronavirus epidemic worsens, U.S. health experts hope Joe Biden’s administration will put in place something Donald Trump’s has not — a comprehensive national testing strategy.
Such a strategy, they say, could systematically check more people for infections and spot surges before they take off. The health experts say it would be an improvement from the current practice, which has professional athletes and students at elite universities getting routine tests while many other Am...Tags: Health, Business, New York, Science, News, Minnesota, Nbc, Mississippi, Colorado, Cdc, Sport, Joe Biden, Harvard, Soccer, Harvard University, Alaska 46 people like this.

If the researchers' suspicions are correct, the newfound volcanic caldera would belong to the same category of volcanoes as the Yellowstone Caldera and other volcanoes that have had super-eruptions with severe global consequences.Tags: Science, Alaska, AGU, Yellowstone Caldera 45 people like this. Like Watching the Arctic thaw in fast-forwardDecember 1, 2020 at 12:00 AM The frozen permafrost in the Arctic is thawing on an alarming scale. By analysing an annual record of satellite images, researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute have now confirmed these findings: thermokarst lakes in Alaska are draining one by one because warmer and wetter conditions cause deeper thaw, effectively weakening frozen ground as a barrier around lakes. In the season 2017/2018, lake drainage was observed on a scale that scientists didn't expect until the end of the century.Tags: Science, Alaska, Arctic, Alfred Wegener Institute 48 people like this.
