Scientists turn their attention to finding the rare individuals who have not yet contracted the virus. Christopher Murray, professor of global health and Director of the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation was mentioned.
A big mystery of the COVID-19 pandemic that researchers are baffled by is that some people are exposed to the virus but never get sick even as others are diagnosed with it multiple times, despite being vaccinated. Researchers say figuring out why that happens is an important question, and they're working to find the answer. Dr. Michael Gale, professor of global health, was quoted.
Epidemiologists have focused a huge amount of attention on hunting down the moment those viruses made the interspecies leap. Which bats? When? But there’s another, broader question to be asked: Why do certain mammals bump into each other at all? And are there forces that make it more likely that a diseased bat ends up in a place where it can infect people? Kristie Ebi, professor of global health, is quoted.
Around the world, the death rate of children has been dropping dramatically. But a new study in The Lancet Global Health points out an underlying tragedy among the childhood deaths that do occur today. Too many are coming after children have been treated and often discharged from hospitals. Judd Walson, vice chair and professor of global health, is quoted.
COVID-19 vaccinations are at a critical juncture as companies test whether new approaches like combination shots or nasal drops can keep up with a mutating coronavirus — even though it’s not clear if changes are needed. Dr. Beth Bell, clinical professor of global health at the UW, is quoted.
A single dose of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine provides as much protection against cervical cancer as the standard three-dose regimen, a new study finds. Ruanne Barnabas, professor of global health, was interviewed.
While trying to be updated on the conflict in Ukraine, people should take care to limit exposure if it's affecting your mood or sleep, according to experts at UW Medicine. Michele Bedard-Gilligan, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences in the UW School of Medicine, was interviewed by King5, Kiro-AM, and KGMI-AM.
Scientists have a strong idea of which types of viruses could cause an outbreak. We can fund vaccines and treatments for them now.
The covid-19 death toll in the United States has soared again, and the U.S. per capita death rate now exceeds that of other wealthy nations. Why?
