Coronavirus may survive for 28 days on glass, banknotes, study suggests

 (10/11, Gale) reported, “The new coronavirus may remain infectious for weeks on banknotes, glass and other common surfaces, according to research by Australia’s top biosecurity laboratory that highlights risks from paper currency, touchscreen devices and grab handles and rails.” Researchers “showed SARS-CoV-2 is ‘extremely robust,’ surviving for 28 days on smooth surfaces such as glass found on mobile phone screens and plastic banknotes at room temperature, or 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit),” which “compares with 17 days survival for the flu virus.” The  was published in the Virology Journal.

 (10/12, Bikes) reports, “Experiments done at 20, 30 and 40 degrees Celsius showed the virus survived longer at cooler temperatures, longer on smooth surfaces than on complex surfaces such as cotton and longer on paper banknotes than on plastic banknotes.”

 (10/12) reports, “The researchers tested the survival rates of the virus, dried in an artificial mucous solution, at three different temperatures on six common surface areas.” All of “the experiments were carried out in the dark, however, since UV light has already been shown to kill the virus.”

 GOVERNMENT AND MEDICINE

AMA, other groups call for DHS to exclude foreign national physicians from proposed change in immigration policy

 (10/12, Christ, Subscription Publication) reports the American Medical Association and other major medical groups are calling for DHS “to exclude foreign national physicians from a proposed change in immigration policy.” The groups “sent a joint letter to Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf requesting that J-1 physicians – those participating in graduate medical education programs or training at schools of medicine in the U.S. – be excluded from a proposed rule that would limit how long foreign nationals can remain in the country.”

White House says administration will proceed with implementation of hospital price transparency rule

 (10/9, Cohrs, Subscription Publication) reports the administration intends to proceed with the “implementation of its hospital price transparency rule on Jan. 1, a White House official said.” Hospitals want the “administration to delay the January 2021 implementation of hospital price transparency requirements, but the White House does not appear to be backing down.” According to a White House official, “the administration already delayed implementation when HHS published the final rule and pushed the deadline to Jan. 1.”

Former Treasury Secretary says pandemic will cost U.S. $16T

 (10/12, Rockeman) reports that the coronavirus “pandemic will exact a $16 trillion toll on the U.S. – four times the cost of the Great Recession – when adding the costs of lost lives and health to the direct economic impact, according to former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and fellow Harvard University economist David Cutler.” Nearly “half of that amount is related to lost gross domestic product as a result of economic shutdowns and the ongoing spread of the virus, while the other half comes from health losses including premature death and mental and long-term health impairments, Cutler and Summers wrote in an  published” in JAMA.

People unable to get ACA subsidies continue to leave individual market, report finds

 (10/9, Hansard, Subscription Publication) reported that “people who make too much money to get” Affordable Care Act “subsidies continue to leave the individual market, the...administration reported Friday.” Between “2016 to 2019, unsubsidized enrollment in Affordable Care Act-compliant individual plans dropped by 2.8 million people or 45%, the Department of Health and Human Services said.” A large share of those “enrolled in ACA plans are low- to middle-income people who benefit from subsidies, and the number of people who receive subsidies dropped far less than the number who didn’t get the subsidies.”

Pandemic coverage still has many “holes” which allow surprise medical bills

The  (10/11, Murphy) reported that while “many” insurance companies “and the U.S. government have offered to pick up or waive costs tied to the virus, holes remain for big bills to slip through and surprise patients,” and the pandemic has “exposed well-known gaps in a system that mixes private insurers, government programs and different levels of coverage.” The article added, “The vast majority of...patients will incur few medical costs as they wait for their body to fight off mild symptoms. But patients who visit emergency rooms or wind up hospitalized may be vulnerable financially.”

 PUBLIC HEALTH

U.S. coronavirus death rate highest in developed world, study indicates

 (10/12, Cortez) reports, “The proportion of Americans dying from coronavirus infections is the highest in the developed world, according to a study of global mortality rates that shows the U.S. pandemic response left citizens exposed to the lethal disease.” Early on “in the outbreak, the U.S. mortality rate from [COVID-19] was lower than in many other hard-hit countries, including the U.K., Spain and the Netherlands, according to the ” published in JAMA. However, “as spring turned to summer, the U.S. largely failed to embrace public-health and policy measures that have helped other countries reduce death rates.”

Study: COVID-19 pandemic might have caused 75K more fatalities in spring, summer than previously believed

 (10/12, Rodriguez) reports, “The coronavirus pandemic may have caused tens of thousands of more deaths in the spring and summer than previously thought, a new study says.” Researchers “found nearly 75,000 more people may have died from the pandemic than what was recorded in March to July, according to the  published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal JAMA.” By examining “death certificates, the study found more than 150,000 deaths were officially attributed to COVID-19 during that period.” But, “researchers determined nearly 75,000 additional deaths were indirectly caused by the pandemic – bringing the total number of deaths for those four months to more than 225,000.”

 (10/12, Edwards) reports one possible “explanation for the gap may be underreporting or misreporting of COVID-19-related deaths – in other words, not counting COVID-19 deaths.” The “study looked at death statistics from the National Center for Health Statistics, which is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the Census Bureau.”

COVID-19 pandemic said to have had an impact on people with mental illnesses

 (10/12, Howard) reports on the toll of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with mental illnesses. According to the results of a  published in August, “almost 41% of US adults...reported struggling with their mental health or substance use – both related to the coronavirus pandemic and some of the measures put in place to contain it, such as physical distancing.” Dr. Patrice Harris, the immediate past president of AMA, said, “Folks should also look to see what their local, state and county mental health authorities are doing because I know many of those authorities have developed crisis lines. We want people to know that they can access the help that they need when they need it.”

CDC says even people with moderate overweight may be at risk for severe COVID-19

The  (10/10, Rabin) reported the CDC is warning that people with moderate overweight “may be more likely to become seriously ill when infected with the coronavirus.” Considering this warning, “nearly three-quarters of Americans may be at increased risk of severe COVID-19 if infected with the coronavirus.” Additional “medical conditions for which there is limited or mixed evidence of increased [COVID-19] severity include asthma, cerebrovascular disease and cystic fibrosis, the CDC said.” Those “medical conditions clearly shown to increase the risk of COVID-19 include cancer, chronic kidney disease, heart disease and sickle cell disease, among others.”
