In the News

Second Wave in Japan

Hokkaido was able to avoid a large spike in cases early on, which made it look like a success story. But recently a spike of cases marks the second wave of infections which is something the rest of Japan can learn from.

The Danger of Ventilators for COVID-19 Treatment

Ventilators are an integral part of COVID-19 treatment but there is a possibility they need to be used differently because the effect of COVID-19 on lungs is different than other types of lung infections.

BCG World Atlas

The BCG World Atlas contains detailed statistics on vaccination in over 180 countries. The data is made by McGill University and supported by The Public Health Agency of Canada.

The idea that the new coronavirus was released from a lab makes sense on a superficial level but when we look deeper into the facts about the virus, this theory seems unlikely. This issue is worth watching though, because there are many aspects of the research in these labs that won’t be made immediately public. However there is no evidence yet to point towards a human-made disaster in any way.
