The combination treatment was authorized for use in children aged 12 and over and in adults in February 2021. In a statement, Patrizia Cavazzoni, MD, director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said that the extension of the authorization means that “all patients at high risk of severe COVID-19, including children and newborn babies, have an option for treatment and post-exposure prevention.” Cavazzoni added that children under one year of age who are exposed to the virus “may be at particularly high risk for severe COVID-19” and that the authorization “addresses the medical needs of this vulnerable population....

“Want to see something really scary? Wear colored contacts w/o a prescription & you might have trouble seeing anything at all,” the FDA said in a tweet. “You can have all of these looks with decorative contact lenses,” the agency added in an official, if somewhat pointed, consumer update. Despite their popularity, “decorative contact lenses” require prescriptions from eye doctors to avoid eye injuries, according to the FDA. Those advertising them as cosmetics or selling them over the counter are breaking the law, the update stated....

Both hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, which are used to treat malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, are listed as “currently in shortage” by the agency. This is “due to a significant surge in demand,” the body said. The FDA stated: “all manufacturers are ramping up production” and the agency is ensuring this is happening “expeditiously and safely.” The announcement follows FDA approval of the drugs for use in patients hospitalized by and in clinical trials for the treatment of COVID-19, after it issued the first Emergency Use Authorization for a drug related to the disease over the weekend....

Unfortunately, when it comes to the entire Walking Dead universe, there’s always a new threat looming on the horizon, and this time it comes in the form of the ‘End is the Beginning’ group. A grim new chapter in the journey of these characters begins in Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 10. Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 10 trailer breakdown, predictions, and analysis If you thought that after the insanity of the previous two episodes, there’d be a lull in the action of Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 10, you are grossly mistaken!...

5-Star Players Drew Brees, QB, Saints. No team allows more fantasy points per game (FPPG) to quarterbacks than the Cowboys. As if you needed any more reason to start Brees. Dez Bryant, WR, Cowboys. The Saints rank fifth against the pass (more on that below), but the only real concern fantasy owners might have about starting Dez is the back injury that’s caused him to miss practice this week. He’s expected to be fine for Sunday, though, so keep him in your lineups....

Console games remain one of the largest generators of entertainment industry profits every year - with a number of game franchises (such as Call of Duty) breaking sales records year after year. However, if one thing was apparent at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, it’s that mobile gaming is becoming an increasingly reputable player in the games industry - providing players the opportunity to enjoy a variety of experiences from mainstream and indie developers alike, all at budget friendly price points (and in the palm of their hands)....

Federer has been in imperious mood in pursuit of his ninth Wimbledon crown, while Williams is rounding into form just as the seven-time champion’s rivals have collapsed all around her. The status quo has been challenged like never before in the women’s singles, with nine of the top 10 seeds crashing out before the Wimbledon last 16 for the first time in the Open area. In the men’s draw, third seed Marin Cilic, fourth seed Alexander Zverev and sixth seed Grigor Dimitrov have all fallen....

The Swiss, whose ranking as number two in the world is under threat this week, was broken three times in the second set to force a decider but eventually prevailed 6-3 2-6 6-4. Bautista Agut had never even taken a set off Federer in their previous seven meetings but forced a decider only to be crucially broken at 4-4, and the Swiss served out to love to clinch the win....

TikTok user JasonMora2 sparked a major discussion online after revealing exactly how much ice goes into a large drink from Dunkin Donuts. Footage purporting to show him behind the counter at a branch of the coffee and pastry chain highlights the startling disparity. The video begins with a cup, full to the brim with iced coffee, alongside an empty container or the same size. Using a spoon, the TikToker begins pouring the full drink into the empty cup, using the utensil to stop any ice from moving into the second container....

Veteran privacy-first email provider Fastmail has just added Scheduled Send, a feature already found in some other apps and email services and one which should probably be standard for all email. It’s a simple feature. You can compose an email whenever it’s convenient for you and schedule its dispatch at a time better suited to the recipient. “I don’t like to impose on people, but sometimes I prefer to work late or on weekends....

White Day, for those unfamiliar, is a holiday that functions as a sort of sequel to Valentine’s Day. In Japan and other Asian nations, Valentine’s Day is an opportunity for women to give chocolates and other gifts to the men in their lives, while White Day is held one month later on March 14 as the inverse.

Favre told ESPN.com on October 21 that he had planned to have fellow Packers quarterback legend Bart Starr as part of the ceremony at the prime-time game against the archrival Bears, but because of Starr’s recent health problems, he changed his mind. Starr, 80, is still recovering from two strokes and a mild heart attack he suffered in September. In a video for Sqor produced for Sporting News Thursday, Favre didn’t address a possible re-scheduling of the trip to Lambeau, which would be his first since retiring from the Vikings in 2010....

The Sun earlier in the day reported that Arsenal have identified Martial as the man to target after Alexis Sanchez leaves for greener pastures. And now, Mundo Deportivo has claimed that FC Barcelona are also keeping tabs on the Frenchman who has found it tough to start games for United this season....

Previously, the FDA had granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for remdesivir, not full approval. The first EUA, issued on May 1, said remdesivir could be used in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19. The EUA was reissued on August 28, expanding use to hospitalized adults and children with confirmed or suspected cases COVID-19, irrespective of their severity of disease. Although the drug is now approved, the approval does not extend to all groups....

Like one out of six Americans, Cath suffers from fear of flying. One look at her tense face and white knuckles before takeoff is enough to put any Erica Jong jokes out of my mind. Her body language is that of a trapped animal: her anxious eyes dart from one corner of the plane to the next, looking for hidden dangers; her ears perk up at the slightest change in the tone of the plane’s engines....

The decision to keep interest rates low is good news for homebuyers shopping for a low mortgage rate, but bad news for small savers who will earn little in passbook or money market accounts. “The path of the economy will depend significantly on the course of the virus,” the Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement. “The ongoing public health crisis will continue to weigh on economic activity, employment, and inflation in the near term, and poses considerable risks to the economic outlook over the medium term....

According to the indictment reviewed by Newsweek (see the full document below), 51-year-old Oralia Aparicio was employed by GEO Group Inc. as a kitchen supervisor, where she was responsible for enforcing rules and keeping order at the facility, including supervising the inmates and other staff, and other duties as assigned. Florida-based GEO is one of the nation’s largest private companies contracted with the Office of the Federal Detention Trustee to operate corrections facilities....

But we should slow this weed train down. Legalization advocates often begin with the well-worn saying that we should not jail pot users. Instead, they say, we should regulate marijuana to gain tax revenue and reverse social injustice. It’s a great theory. But it’s never worked in practice. Legalizing marijuana is, at the end of the day, all about one thing: money. Let me rephrase: It’s about making rich white men richer....

Are you getting heat from Wall Street for your “let’s put some lipstick on this pig’’ ads? They think the ads are bad for our industry. Our view is that our industry needs to be held accountable for what are obviously widespread practices that are problematic for individual investors. I have noticed a lack of industry golf-outing invitations in my mailbox. Will the concerns about reforming Wall Street go away if the market jumps?...

Congrats on your first solo tour. How do you prepare yourself? To be physically fit is essential. I’m not obsessed with it, but as you hit your 40s, you start to pay for things. I started having back trouble and all the things that people who touch 40 know about. You’ve said live performances were traumatic. You’re looking at an audience, they’re looking at you, your mind is saying, “I hope I can remember the rest of this song....
