Omicron, a highly-infectious variant, is fueling massive spikes in COVID-19 cases, sparking concerns about the possibility for an increased strain on health care systems. Despite the rise in cases and expectations infections will continue to rise, lawmakers at varying levels, including the White House, have bucked the idea of shutting down. Fauci told News Nation Now on Thursday that it would be “very, very difficult” to shut down given the “mood of the country....

His remarks come as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted emergency use authorization to Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose coronavirus vaccine Saturday, the first one-shot vaccination of its kind. With three separate COVID-19 vaccines now available as many areas of the country are struggling to distribute the doses, Fauci told Americans all three are “highly efficacious vaccines, that’s the bottom line.” Perhaps pushing back on social media comparisons and Saturday Night Live’s “So You Think You Can Get a Vaccine” skit overnight, Fauci reiterated that all three vaccinations should help Americans equally....

Speaking to Newsweek, Dr. Anthony Fauci warned: “January is going to be terrible,” with the outbreak expected to reach its worst level yet. The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and member of the White House COVID-19 task force explained: “I think January is going to be terrible because you’re going to have the Thanksgiving surge super-imposed upon the Christmas surge. So it’s entirely conceivable that January could be the worst....

The visitors, on the other hand, will be aiming to get one over the Bebbi, having failed to win any of the last eight meetings between the sides since June 2020. Basel failed to return to winning ways last Monday as they were held to an uneventful goalless draw by FC Sion. The Bebbi have now drawn each of their last three league outings since a 6-1 defeat against Karlsruher SC on March 24....

For almost two years, Churchill and FDR had been quietly receiving evidence of Hitler’s ghastly effort to remove an entire people from the face of the earth. Churchill appeared interested in a military strike against the camps. He told his Foreign secretary, Anthony Eden, that Hitler’s war against the Jews was “probably the greatest and most horrible crime ever committed in the whole history of the world,” adding: “Get everything out of the Air Force you can, and invoke me, if necessary....

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have called for the United States to pause administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after six recipients developed a “rare and severe” type of blood clot. All six cases occurred among women between 18 and 48, with their symptoms developing six to 13 days after vaccination, according to a joint statement from the two agencies....

Beshear spoke about the undertaking Monday, which goes hand-in-hand with broadband and wastewater projects set to spend millions of federal dollars. The governor said that while all of the state will benefit from the federal funds, some rural and urban areas that have been neglected will receive extra care, the AP reported. This will help address the basic human needs of some state residents while also boosting the state to potentially see more economic growth, Beshear said....

The year’s opening Grand Slam, starting January 14, will for the first time feature an extended tie-break in the final set when the score reaches 6-6, rather than a traditional full set. To win the decisive tie-break, a player will need to be the first to 10 with an advantage of at least two points. The move means all four Slams now use different rules, with only the French Open holding off from introducing a tie-break in the decider....

Why write the book early? The problem with other campaign books is that they come out when everyone knows the outcome. No one wants to read a chapter beginning “Bill Bradley was nervous.” You hit the trail very early. It’s the only way to see them before they’ve become choreographed like a Broadway musical. Who’s the most fun to cover? Joe Lieberman was the first candidate to offer me Passover matzoh....

The study abstract was presented at the virtual American Heart Association’s Hypertension 2020 Scientific Sessions. It was not clear if the study had been peer-reviewed.

They were involved in the 2011-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.

On Sunday night, the family drove to English Park, which sits on the banks of the Ohio River in Owensboro, Kentucky, to celebrate the holiday. Day, a pizza delivery driver, and his two small daughters, a one-year-old and a three-year-old, were sitting in the car waiting for the fireworks to begin when Day “stepped out…for a second” to ask his fiancé something, according to news station WFIE. “[W]ithin the time that I shut the door and looked over the front of my car to speak to her, my youngest, Abby, decided to put the truck into neutral,” Day recounted to the local outlet....

The beach, located around 330 miles north of Sydney, was particularly busy at the time, crammed with Australians celebrating Father’s Day, Sky News reported. Thompson himself was awaiting the birth of a child when he died. Katie Thompson, his wife of six months, shared a tribute to her husband on her Facebook on Monday. “All I know right now is that I have no choice but to keep going because I have a little piece of you growing in me,” she wrote....

Season 4 of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League concluded with the Patna Pirates franchise emerging as the winners for the 2nd consecutive season, the only team to achieve this mark. It would not be wrong to say that they had the perfect blend of experience, youth and talent in their squad which propel them to their 2nd PKL title. If Pardeep Narwal took and executed the responsibility of scoring raid points perfectly, then some credit should go to their Iranian import Fazel Atrachali for organising Patna’s defence into a strong, formidable unit....

The IG said the FBI didn’t handle the Nassar case with the “utmost seriousness and urgency they deserve and required.” The investigation revealed the FBI Indianapolis Field Office also didn’t take responsibility for any missteps in the process. “The actions and inactions of certain FBI employees described in the Report are inexcusable and a discredit to this organization,” the FBI stated. Nassar was the team doctor who oversaw gymnasts for the sport’s governing body....

Signing the two won’t be an easy task with the North London club valuing the duo at around £260 million....

After winning the U.S. Open Cup and Supporters’ Shield, FCD saw its dream of lifting the MLS Cup and winning all three trophies cut short by the Seattle Sounders, who beat coach Oscar Pareja’s side in the Western Conference semifinals. MORE: Pareja targets MLS Cup for FC Dallas Now, Pareja’s men will look to strike again, with the key players back (though some recovering from injury) and new additions strengthening positions where the team lacked depth....

The condition can be “psychologically distressing” for patients, said Melissa Piliang, MD, an alopecia expert and dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic. For the first time, the Food and Drug Administration approved a drug last week to systemically treat patients with severe alopecia areata. With a once-a-day pill, patients with substantial hair loss may see hair regrowth within months. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that interferes with the body’s ability to grow hair....

This latest EUA applies to patients with either suspected or confirmed COVID-19, including: Hospitalized adultsChildren ages 2 and up who require supplemental oxygen, invasive mechanical ventilation, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) While remdesivir needs to be administered intravenously, baricitinib is taken as an oral tablet. The latter is a janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, a type of drug that blocks the response of enzymes which cause inflammation and autoimmunity. Research published in September shows that together, baricitinib and remdesivir reduce the average hospital stay of patients by one day compared to treatment with remdesivir alone....
