Covid-19 has changed and so has our immunity. Here’s how to think about risk from the virus now

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:44:07 GMT

By Brenda Goodman | CNNCovid-19 was never just another cold. We knew it was going to stick around and keep changing to try to get the upper hand on our immune systems.But we’ve changed, too. Our B cells and T cells, keepers of our immune memories, aren’t as blind to this virus as they were when we first encountered the novel coronavirus in 2020. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has screened blood samples and estimates that 97% of people in the US have some immunity to Covid-19 through vaccination, infection or both.Then there’s science: We have updated vaccines and good antivirals to lean on when cases start to rise. Masks still work. Rapid tests are in stores. We now know to filter the air and to ventilate our spaces.Those strategies, plus our hard-won immunity, had helped bring our national numbers of infections, hospitalizations and deaths down to levels that felt almost forgettable.Almost.Now that Covid-19 infections have started to rise again, it feels like peo...

2024 poll: Voters see Biden as ‘old,’ Trump as ‘corrupt’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:44:07 GMT

By Will Weissert, Emily Swanson and Darlene Superville | Associated PressWASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is “old” and “confused,” and former President Donald Trump is “corrupt” and “dishonest.” Those are among the top terms Americans use when they’re asked to describe the Democrat in the White House and the Republican best positioned to face him in next year’s election.Unflattering portraits of Biden and Trump emerge clearly in a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, which asked an open-ended question about what comes to mind when people think of them.For Biden, the largest share of U.S. adults — including both Democrats and Republicans — mentioned his age. At 80, Biden is just three years older than Trump, but many Americans expressed real concerns about his ability to continue as president.Trump, meanwhile, has been indicted in four cases featuring 91 total criminal counts and elicits ...

Hawaii utility takes responsibility for Maui fire

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:44:07 GMT

By Jennifer McDermott and Jennifer Sinco Kelleher | Associated PressHONOLULU — Hawaii’s electric utility acknowledged its power lines started a wildfire on Maui but faulted county firefighters for declaring the blaze contained and leaving the scene, only to have a second wildfire break out nearby and become the deadliest in the U.S. in more than a century.Hawaiian Electric Company released a statement Sunday night in response to Maui County’s lawsuit blaming the utility for failing to shut off power despite exceptionally high winds and dry conditions. Hawaiian Electric called that complaint “factually and legally irresponsible,” and said its power lines in West Maui had been de-energized for more than six hours when the second blaze started.In its statement, the utility addressed the cause for the first time. It said the fire on the morning of Aug. 8 “appears to have been caused by power lines that fell in high winds.” The Associated Press reporte...

Pirate crime spree, vigilantes throw Oakland estuary into lawlessness

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:44:07 GMT

In recent weeks, the Oakland Estuary has morphed from an innocuous playground for water sports into what the local boating community describes as a semi-lawless stretch roamed by marauding thieves and patrolled by vigilantes.It’s a drama more suited for the high seas than the placid, 800-foot-wide channel separating Oakland and Alameda. Yet according to those who live and own boats in the area, the situation has escalated into a true crisis.On August 16, half the boats at the Alameda Community Sailing Center, a sailing nonprofit for kids, were taken in the night. At the Marina Village Yacht Club, residents say they have been threatened by “pirates” scouting out the docks. The Encinal Yacht Club, Jack London Square Marina and the Outboard Motor Shop have all been victimized. In total, over a dozen small boats and dinghies have been stolen in the past three weeks.“Piracy is the only way I can think to describe it,” local boat owner Jonathan Delong said during a public meeting of the B...

Can fruits and vegetables be made better? It might be possible with gene editing.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:44:07 GMT

Brian Gordon | (TNS) The News & Observer (Raleigh)DURHAM, N.C. — Raw mustard greens, in their genetically unaltered form, leave a bitter aftertaste. Their flavor evokes horseradish or wasabi, lingering on the tongue until a chaser is found.This astringency is caused by myrosinase, an enzyme that is liberated from the plant’s cells with each bite. Heat eliminates myrosinase, and cooked mustard greens are a staple of Southern cuisine, but the fresh greenish, purplish leaf is not widely beloved in salads.The staff at Pairwise, a 6-year-old agricultural tech startup in Durham, believe this is a missed opportunity.Nutrient rich, mustard greens possess more vitamin A than spinach and double the calcium. According to some studies, the vegetable even has more vitamin C than oranges.This spring, Pairwise introduced the first food in the United States created with the genome-editing technology CRISPR. It’s a salad featuring non-pungent, myrosinase-free mustard greens that don’t leave cons...
