NYC Man Gets 38 Years Without Parole For Assisting ISIS, Stabbing Jail Guard
A Queens man was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years without parole in federal prison for trying to support ISIS, followed by another eight years for assaulting a federal correctional officer. Ali Saleh, 28, will have to serve out just about all of the consecutive sentences because there’s no parole in the federal prison system. Saleh “swore an oath of allegiance to ISIS” and embraced the terrorist organization’s directive to either travel to the Middle East or take action at home, a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn says. “I’m ready to die for the Caliphate, prison is nothing…

19: Link Shown Between Severity, Death From Virus And Smoking, New Study Reveals
A new study has found a strong link between smoking cigarettes and severe outcomes from COVID-19 infection. According to a report from News Medical, researchers for the UK Biobank study looked at "primary care records, COVID-19 test results, hospital admissions data and death certificates" to search for associations between smoking and hospitalizations and death from COVID-19. The news site reported that 59 percent of participants have never smoked, 37 percent were former smokers and 4 percent were smokers. The study found that current smokers were 80 percent more likely to be …

19: Study Reveals Who's Most At Risk For Breakthrough Infections
Researchers have identified groups of vaccinated people who may be the most at risk for suffering severe outcomes from COVID-19 breakthrough infections. According to a report from Medical News Today, the study looked at more than 6 million people who have received one or two doses of COVID-19 vaccine in the United Kingdom. One of the paper's co-authors, Dr. Aziz Sheikh, said only a small number of the more than 5 million people who received two vaccine doses remained at risk for COVID-19 hospitalization and death after being vaccinated.

19: Cape Cod Cluster Among Vaccinated Led To Mask Shift; 'The War Has Changed' CDC Says
A cluster of hundreds of COVID-19 cases on Cape Cod, many involving vaccinated people, prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to change its policy on mask-wearing this week. The July 4th outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts showed that vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant could spread the virus. A total of nearly 900 infections have been linked to the cluster. The high viral load of the Delta variant, which was first discovered in India late last year, makes it possible for vaccinated who become infected through breakthrough cases to spread the virus i…

19: Delta Variant As Contagious As Chickenpox, Internal CDC Document Says
The Delta variant, which now accounts for about 85 percent of new COVID-19 cases in the United States, is as contagious as chickenpox, according to internal documents by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). Details of those documents were reported on Friday, July 30 by both The Washington Post and New York Times. The high viral load of the Delta variant makes it possible for vaccinated who become infected through breakthrough cases to spread the virus in some cases, the CDC now says. “We have studies that have now shown that even on the first swab on somebody with a…

19: Unvaccinated Woman Dies After Contracting Two Strains At Same Time, Scientists Say
Scientists are warning that it's possible to contract two COVID-19 strains at the same time after an unvaccinated woman died who had been infected by different variants. The woman, age 90, was admitted to a Belgium hospital to treat injuries from a fall and tested positive for COVID that day, according to a report by the European Congress on Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. Though she did not display symptoms when admitted and displayed good oxygen saturation, she quickly developed rapidly worsening respiratory problems and died less than a week later. When respiratory…

19: New Variant May Be More Resistant To Vaccines Than Other Strains, Scientists Say
A new strain of the COVID-19 virus may be more resistant to vaccines than other variants, scientists are now warning. The C.37 strain, known as the Lambda variant, was first identified in Peru in December 2020, when it accounted for less than one percent of new cases. It now accounts for about 80 percent of new infections in Peru and has spread to about 27 countries in the last month, according to a report in the Financial Times. The World Health Organization said the strain carries a number of mutations that may have prompted potential increased transmissibility or possible increased resi…

19: There Could Be Some Long-Term Loss Of Brain Tissue From Virus, New Study Says
There could be some long-term loss of brain tissue from COVID-19 that would have some lingering consequences, according to a brand-new study. That loss of brain tissue may explain why COVID patients lost their sense of smell, according to the study, which was conducted in the United Kingdom. "They looked at people who had had MRI scans of their brains in the past three years and they looked at how many developed COVID and about 300 people, a little over 300 people developed COVID," said former Food and Drug Administration Director Dr. Scott Gottlieb on CBS-TV's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, …
