Experts call for caution at Labor Day celebrations after cases have increased after other holidays in the US.But it’s not the first time A university known for its studies on the virus warns its scientists that they oppose suspicious packages.

The positive coronavirus rate in New York State has been below 1% for 30 consecutive days, Gov. Andrew M said.Cuomo.
Senator Kamala Harris of California, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, said she would not accept President Trump’s assurances that a coronavirus vaccine was safe and would wait for medical experts to verify that the vaccine was reliable before receiving a vaccine..
“I don’t take his word for it,” Harris said of Trump in CNN’s Inside Politics.
“He needs us to inject him with bleach,” he added, referring to comments in April when the president incomprehensibly recommended a harmful remedy for the coronavirus.
Harris’ comments came after federal officials alerted state and major public fitness agencies last week to prepare to distribute a vaccine to fitness personnel and other high-risk equipment starting in October or early November.ended the kind of large-scale human trials that can result in efficacy and safety, this delay has greater fears that the Trump administration will anticipate the deployment of the vaccine by Election Day on November 3.
For months, Harris and Joseph R.Biden Jr. assaulted Trump for his handling of the coronavirus crisis.Harris’ comments Sunday on the question of a possible vaccine, while scientists running for a vaccine report on the constant strain of a White House concerned about smart news, are likely to sow skepticism among Americans about whether to get vaccinated when it becomes available.
With growing fears about the politicization of vaccines and treatments, five pharmaceutical corporations are preparing to factor this week and are committed not to launch a vaccine unless it meets strict efficacy and safety criteria.Companies: Pfizer, Modern, Johnson
Harris also said Sunday that she and Biden would identify a national “standard” for wearing a mask without approving a court order.
“This is not a punishment. He is not an older brother,” Harris said, adding that dressing up in a mask is a “sacrifice” in times of crisis.
Her comments seemed to soften the position she and Biden had played in the past.
Last month, Biden and Harris asked that Americans should wear masks, and told reporters after receiving a report from public fitness experts that each and every American wears an outdoor mask for at least 3 months and that all governors require the mask to be worn.
In July, Biden warned that if the president would demand that a mask be worn in public, and asked if he could use “federal influence to enforce this,” he said he could. and “from an executive point of view.”
A look at all the vaccines that have come to human trials.
In recent weeks, a Harvard scientist has been made headlines for an ambitious concept aimed at reducing the spread of the virus: the deployment of antigenic tests, a decades-old outsider in testing technology, to tens of millions of Americans for almost every day., for -Use at home.
These tests are not very smart to detect low-level infections, but they are reasonable and convenient, and give effects in minutes.Real-time information, argued by Dr. Michael Mina, a Harvard scientist, would be greater than the long delays blocking the line of evidence..
The immediate and common technique has attracted the attention of scientists and journalists from all over the world, as well as senior officials from the Department of Health and Human Services.
But more than a dozen experts have said that almost ubiquitous antigen testing, although intriguing in theory, would possibly not be effective in practice.who are increasingly disappointed by coronavirus testing.The purpose also assumes that immediate testing can achieve its purpose.
“We are in a position to think outdoors and locate new tactics for handling this pandemic,” said Esther Babady, director of clinical microbiology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, but said antigenic testing may not yet have been put on the market at home.
Moreover, no rigorous study has shown that common evidence is more delicate but slower in the genuine world, he said.”Knowledge for this is what is missing.”
What has been advanced about this technique is “largely ambitious and we want to compare it to reality,” said Dr. Alexander McAdam, director of the Infectious Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Boston Children’s Hospital and a recent report on a pandemic.Journal of Clinical Microbiology.
Most viral tests to date are based on a lab strategy called PCR, long popular gold because it can capture even small amounts of genetic clothing from germs like coronavirus.
But chain-of-origin spraying has compromised efforts to collect, send, and process samples for PCR testing, lengthening response times.And the longer the wait, the lower the result.
