COVID-19 Cases Detected in Nevada and Across the United States

Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests a possible increase in COVID-19 cases nationwide, including Nevada. This information is based on epidemiological modeling utilizing data from emergency department visits and other sources. Public health authorities are actively monitoring the situation to assess the extent of this potential rise. Read Also:Covishield Side Effects: What You Need to Know After 2 Years

Understanding the Increase in Nevada

Nevada residents should be aware of this development and take appropriate precautions. To gain a more granular understanding of the situation within the state, individuals can seek information on the counties most affected by searching for "most affected counties by COVID in Nevada." This will help them determine their own level of risk and tailor their precautions accordingly.

Staying Informed and Taking Protective Measures

Here are some resources for Nevada residents to stay informed about the evolving COVID-19 situation: - Nevada Department of Health and Human Services: Nevada Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 webpage This webpage provides the latest state-specific information on COVID-19 cases, testing, vaccination, and resources. - CDC COVID-Data Tracker: CDC COVID Data Tracker This CDC resource provides a national view of COVID-19 trends, including data on cases, hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccinations. For individuals experiencing COVID-like symptoms, testing is crucial. Free testing locations in Nevada can be found by searching for "free COVID testing locations in Nevada." Early diagnosis and isolation can help prevent further transmission of the virus.

Vaccination and Boosters Remain Essential

Vaccination continues to be the most effective strategy in preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. Unvaccinated individuals are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Vaccines have been rigorously tested and proven safe and effective in reducing the severity of COVID-19. Additionally, staying current on booster shots is vital for maintaining optimal protection. Information on Nevada's COVID-19 booster shot eligibility can be obtained by searching for "Nevada COVID booster shot eligibility." Boosters significantly enhance the body's immune response against COVID-19, especially against newer variants.

Conclusion

While the potential rise in cases warrants heightened vigilance, Nevadans have the tools to mitigate the spread of the virus. By staying informed, practicing effective hygiene measures, and prioritizing vaccination and booster shots, we can collectively safeguard public health. Furthermore, Nevada residents should be mindful of potential travel restrictions, which can be found by searching for "Nevada COVID travel restrictions" if they are planning out-of-state travel. By remaining vigilant and taking these steps, Nevadans can help control the spread of the virus and protect themselves and their communities. Read the full article

NMA provides free service to FCT community

The FCT chapter of Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) provided medical services to over 1000 people in Chibiri Ward, Kuje Area Council of Abuja as part of activities to mark its 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Scientific Conference. The Chairman of the FCT chapter of the association, Dr Philips Ekpe, said in Chibiri during the medical outreach that the body chose the community following media reports that people in the area were in dire need of medical attention. He said the reports indicated that Chibiri community would not accept medical doctors to give them injection, especially when their children were convulsing. He, therefore, noted that the NMA outreach in the community was to educate the people about their basic health needs and hygiene. He said “we will also take our report to the FCT Department of Health and Human Services Secretariat so it can beef up primary health care services in the community.” Ekpe said that the outreach focused on general medical care; the general out-patient department was seeing different ailments such malaria, typhoid fever, hypertension and diabetes. “The medical team is also carrying out cataract surgery and by the end of the exercise, we are expected to do about 50 surgeries and give the patients glasses.” He urged health authorities in the FCT to improve services to the community, saying that the outreach recorded impressive turnout. He, however, noted high cases of malnutrition, ulcer, malaria and hypertension among other ailments in the community. DrEziechila Joseph, an Opthalmic Surgeon and Vice Chairman of the association, said the association would provide cataract and other surgeries to 16 people during the outreach. Joseph, who led the ophthalmic surgical team, said that of the 16 surgeries, 12 were for cataract, while four were for other growth in the eyes. While saying that it was the first time the association included surgery in its outreach services, Joseph added that free corrective and other medical glasses would also be given to patients. Mrs Paul Bawa, a resident of the community, thanked the association for the services, saying her complaints were chest and stomach pain, as well as eye challenge, but that the medical team had diagnosed and gave her drugs. She said most women and children could not afford such services due to financial challenge. Alhaji Bagudu Abubakar, the Wakilin Nupawa of Kuje Area Council, who also benefitted from the outreach, commended the NMA for the gesture. The 2019 NMA AGM has “The Rising Trend of Suicide in Nigeria : A Wholistic Perspective” as its theme. Read the full article

In a sharp departure from his predecessors, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price last week took private jets on five separate flights for official business, at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars more than commercial travel. The secretary’s five flights, which were scheduled between Sept. 13 and Sept. 15, took him to a resort in Maine where he participated in a Q&A discussion with a health care industry CEO, and to community health centers in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, according to internal HHS documents. The travel by corporate-style jet comes at a time when other members of the Trump administration are under fire for travel expenditures, and breaks with the practices of Obama-era secretaries Sylvia Mathews Burwell and Kathleen Sebelius, who flew commercially while in the continental United States. Price, a frequent critic of federal spending who has been developing a plan for departmentwide cost savings, declined to comment. #tomprice #kathleensebelius #jets #privatejets #departmentofhealthandhumanservices #HHS #healthandhumanservices #donadltrumpcabinet #kellyanneconway #whitehouse #politics http://ift.tt/2w7MPC9

PLEASE SHARE within your communities and with your public officials, and representatives. Do homeless people often relocate — move to a particular city because of better services, sense of community, weather, etc.? A vast majority stay in the community they are most familiar with. That said, a small percentage may select cities where they think they will get more assistance. In San Francisco, the city found in 2019 that 55% of homeless people reported living in San Francisco for 10 or more years, and just 6% said they’d lived in San Francisco for less than one year.

#JamesDonaldson on #MentalHealth – These Difficult Days Are ‘Really #Anxiety’s Time To Shine’

As the #COVID-19 #pandemic persists, killing nearly 115,000 #Americans, it also has sent shockwaves that have destabilized the economy, isolated people and reshaped daily life.
