Facebook Lifts Ban on Posts Claiming COVID-19 Is Man-made

Facebook is no longer removing posts claiming the coronavirus’ origins are man made.

In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made from our apps

Facebook lifts ban on posts claiming COVID-19 was man-made, amid revitalized origins debate

President Biden has ordered U.S intelligence agencies to “redouble their efforts” investigating the origins of COVID-19. U.S intelligence has not said one way or the other rather they definitively think COVID-19 was man-made.

The World Health Organization has said further investigation was needed to determine the virus’s origin.

Feds Say Employers May Require Workers to Get Vaccinated Against Covid

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has released new guidance stating that employers are now allowed to require workers to get a COVID-19 vaccine prior to returning to work.

Employers must provide “reasonable accommodations” for workers unwilling or unable to get the shot due to pregnancy, disability, or religious reasons. This could mean requiring unvaccinated workers to wear masks or work remotely.

The EEOC has also stated employers could offer workers incentives for getting the vaccine, as long as the incentive is “not so substantial as to be coercive”. Bolthouse Farms has begun giving vaccinated employees $500 as a bonus. Dollar General is offering an extra four hours of pay for employees who can prove they’ve been vaccinated.

In the months since the vaccines have become widely available, some workers have been blindsided by their bosses’ demands to get inoculated. “It was shocking to me,” Bonnie Jacobson told The Post after losing her waitress job in Brooklyn in February. “I went through the stages: I’m hurt, I’m in shock — then I got mad.”

Feds say employers can require workers to get COVID vaccine

None of the COVID-19 shots are FDA approved, they have only been authorized for emergency use. A little more than half (51%) of Americans have been vaccinated against the coronavirus according to the CDC. A recent survey of employers by Arizona State University said 88% of employers would encourage their workers to get vaccinated and six in 10 planned to demand proof.

Recent Poll Shows One in Four Unvaccinated People Not Continue to Wear a Mask Indoors

As of mid-May, the CDC has said that fully vaccinated people no longer have to wear a mask indoors in most settings, like grocery stores. According to the guidelines, those who are unvaccinated are supposed to continue wearing a mask.

A recent survey, however, shows that as many as 1 in 4 unvaccinated people may go without a mask in settings where they are supposed to according to the CDC. Just over 50% of Americans are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.

About 1 in 5, or 21%, reported that they had not received a COVID-19 vaccine and do not plan to do so. In addition, more than one-quarter (26%) of that 21%, equivalent to about 5% of the total set of respondents, also said that they plan to not wear a mask in indoor spaces like stores and restaurants.

1 in 4 unvaccinated people may not comply with CDC guidelines to wear masks indoors, survey suggests

In theory, and according to the CDC those who are vaccinated against the coronavirus shouldn’t be worried about catching the coronavirus from unvaccinated people. Despite this, many vaccinated people still plan to continue wearing a mask in indoor public settings.




Research Shows the Pandemic Has Fueled a Surge in Eating Disorders

Doctors are seeing a surge in eating disorders across the country as people try to cope with the stress and anxiety induced by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jennifer Wildes, an associate psychiatry professor and director of outpatient eating disorders program at the University of Chicago Medicine says she’s “absolutely seeing massive increases”.

Patients are waiting four to five months for treatment when the wait for treatment prior to the pandemic was usually only a few weeks. Wildes’ program is treating about 100 patients currently, nearly double from before the pandemic.

Other programs are experiencing a similar problem. Jillian Lampert with The Emily Program has reported that her daily calls have nearly doubled since 2019.

The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness, which started offering virtual therapist-led support groups for adults during the pandemic, has also seen a surge. Since January more than 7,000 people from every state and 32 countries have attended their support groups, said alliance CEO Johanna Kandel.

Doctors are seeing an increase in cases across the board, meaning all races and ages. Eating disorders are more common among women than men. Stress and anxiety are common catalysts for eating disorders. Many people have experienced more stress and anxiety in the last year.




CDC Investigates a Link Between mRNA Covid Vaccine and Myocarditis

The CDC is investigating whether the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine could be linked to recent cases of myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle.

Around a dozen cases of myocarditis have been reported after receiving the vaccine although the CDC has not yet found a link. It will likely take the CDC weeks or months to determine if there is a link.

There aren’t any known long-term effects from mild cases. During the CDC investigation, they’ll be looking for more potential cases and whether any other factors could have caused the condition.

The cases generally occurred within four days of receiving the second dose of the vaccine and were most common in young and adolescent men.

What Will the Electric Ford F-150 Do For The Future of Electric Vehicles?

President Biden was seen test driving the new Ford F-150 electric pick up truck earlier this week in Dearborn Michigan. Companies are racing to produce their electric pick up trucks (Tesla, Ford, General Motors, and Chevy all have plans to release an electric pick up truck).

Will the release of electric pick-ups be the push we need to those who were previously uninterested in electric cars, onboard? The Ford F-150 has been the most popular pickup truck in the U.S for 39 years. It’s one of the most sold cars in many states across the U.S.

When you imagine an electric vehicle driver they are likely not the same type of people you imagine driving a pick up truck. Maybe the new electric ford can change that.

So are the trailer-towing, pickup truck-driving residents of Middle America going to adopt these EVs? It looks like a long shot: Only 2 percent of all cars sold in the U.S. today are electric, and most of those are sold in blue states like California, Washington, and Oregon. 

Will the Ford F-150 Lightning turn Middle America onto EVs?

With a price tag of $39,974 (for the base model), the new electric F-150 is surprisingly cheap for an electric vehicle, let alone an electric pickup.




Biometrics May Allow Us to Get Back To Normal Sooner, but Many are Concerned About Privacy

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we live everyday life drastically, so it’s no surprise that as we try to return to some semblance of normal, many people are questioning how that will work.

One of the current questions is how to get crowds to return to professional sporting events safely. A soccer game in Europe in February of 2020 was considered one of the first “super-spreader” events in which 7,000 of the more than 40,000 attendees contracted covid-19.

In March of 2021, a poll by the Washington Post/University of Maryland showed that only 42% of those surveyed would be comfortable attending a sporting event.

The solution for many people may lay in biometrics, the digital analysis of fingerprints or faces, designed for contactless ordering of food and drinks. Technology like this was already being worked on for sporting events, covid-19 has only pushed the timeline forward. Similar technology is being used already around the world.

The use of biometric technology like this raises concerns about privacy for many people. Biometric technology gathers and stores our personal data. States in the U.S, Texas, Washington, Arkansas, New York, and California have passed biometric legislation. The European Union’s privacy watchdog called for a total ban on biometrics.

Donnie Scott, IDEMIA’s vice president of public safety, says his company allows fans to opt out of the use of their biometric data during a game — and automatically purges that data from its servers after the game is over.
