US births in 2022 didn’t return to pre-pandemic levels--data

Thu, 2023-06-01 11:02 — mike kraft
US births in 2022 didn't return to pre-pandemic levels U.S. births were flat last year, as the nation continues to see fewer babies born than it did before the pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday released provisional birth data for last year. A little under 3.7 million babies were born in the U.S. last year, about 3,000 fewer than the year before. Births to moms 35 and older continued to rise, with the highest rates in that age group since the 1960s. But those gains were offset by record-low birth rates to moms in their teens and early 20s.

Working the night shift or binge drinking may double the risk of COVID-19 infection, according to a study of nurses published this week in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research. Poor sleep quality and binge drinking have been associated with COVID-19 infections, likely because both promote a pro-inflammatory state.

Public health leaders warn dwindling COVID data risks less preparation for 'the next outbreak'

Fri, 2023-05-05 11:35 — mike kraft
Public health leaders warn dwindling COVID data risks less preparation for 'the next outbreak' While COVID-19 ebbs -- and many of the pandemic-era policies on surveillance data and funding wind down with it -- the nation's public health leaders warned senators on Thursday that a return to "normal" should not mean forgetting the hard lessons learned over the last three years. When the federal government's public health emergency expires next week, COVID-19 data collection tools will also end.
