Understanding the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Small Businesses and Workers Using Quantitative and Qualitative Methods
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has simultaneously exacerbated and elucidated inequities in resource distribution for small businesses across the United States in terms of worker health and the financial stability of both owners and employees. This disparity was further intensified by the constantly changing and sometimes opposing health and safety guidelines and recommendations to businesses from the local, state, and federal government agencies. To better understand how the pandemic has impacted small businesses, a cross-sectional survey was administered to owners, managers, and workers (n = 45) in the beauty and auto shop...

COMMENTARY: The Sinatra Doctrine Confronts a Global Consensus
A photo-collage. Credit: Peter Costantini.By Peter CostantiniSEATTLE, Oct 23 2020 (IPS) By late September, the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States had claimed 200,000 lives. That’s equivalent to a slightly higher toll than the 418,500 United States deaths in World War II, adjusted for relative population and duration. [See note below.] With four percent of the world’s population, the U.S. has suffered 20 percent of global COVID-19 deaths. Tragically, most of these deaths need never have happened. They were caused primarily by the public-health equivalent of friendly fire: massive malpractice and deception by the Don...

We report that electrical stimulation (ES) stimulation of post-stroke aged rats led to an improved functional recovery of spatial long-term memory (T-maze), but not on the rotating pole or the inclined plane, both tests requiring complex sensorimotor skills. Surprisingly, ES had a detrimental effect on the asymmetric sensorimotor deficit. Histologically, there was a robust increase in the number of doublecortin-positive cells in the dentate gyrus and SVZ of the infarcted hemisphere and the presence of a considerable number of neurons expressing tubulin beta III in the infarcted area. Among the genes that were unique...

Aging Research Should be Far More of a Priority than is Presently the Case
For our species, aging is by far the greatest single cause of suffering and death. It is presently inevitable, affects everyone, and produces a drawn out decline of pain and disability, leading to a horrible death through progressive organ failure of one sort or another. The integrity of the mind is consumed along with the vitality of the body. Aging is the cause of death of 90% or more of the people who live in wealthier regions of the world, and the majority of those even in the poorest regions. More than 100,000 lives every day are lost to aging, and hundreds of millions more are suffering on their way to that fate. ...

Reviving the Economy, Creating the ‘new Normal’
By Anis Chowdhury and Jomo Kwame SundaramSYDNEY and KUALA LUMPUR, Jun 16 2020 (IPS) The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted most economies in the world.

Many countries are still struggling to contain contagion, while the costs on both lives and livelihoods will undoubtedly have long-term repercussions. Anis ChowdhuryBack to the future? The pandemic has exposed economic vulnerabilities building up for decades, especially since the counter-revolution, against Keynesian and development economics in the 1980s, gathered pace with transnat...

Blog: Keeping the lights on
From the start of the Coronavirus crisis, the whole nation has united behind our key workers, acknowledging, celebrating and supporting the massive contribution that UNISON makes in critical public services like our NHS, social care and schools. Yet it’s not only those sectors where public service workers are helping to keep our communities going – far from it. Every single UNISON member is playing a vital role – including the thousands of workers in the energy sector who are quite literally keeping the lights on and our homes warm. I am so proud of the dedication and commitment our energy members have shown over the...

Care home death figures a ‘national scandal’, says UNISON
Responding to data published today (Tuesday) by the Office for National Statistics which include more than 200 Covid-related deaths in care homes, UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis said: “These figures are nothing short of a national scandal. Elderly and vulnerable residents face a death sentence because staff lack personal protective equipment (PPE). “Care workers report that protective kit is still being locked away, having to make single-use masks last all week and being told they don’t need masks because residents aren’t displaying virus symptoms. Many talk too of there not being enough essential...

That Darn Coin
George SelginThey say that a bad penny always turns up. But when it comes to crises these days, it seems that what keeps turning up is a bad idea —namely, the idea of having the U.S. Mint strike one or more trillion-dollar platinum coins.As I explainedlast March, the idea, which was first broached in 2009 and has since become very popular among Modern Monetary Theorists, gained prominence in January 2013, whenthey and several more orthodox economists latched onto itas a way around that month ' sdebt ceiling crisis.Paul Krugman, who was one of the idea ' s proponents, observed:Should President Obama be willing to print a ...

Arizona Man Dies After Taking Chemical in Coronavirus Treatment Touted by President Trump
(PHOENIX) — A Phoenix-area man has died and his wife was in critical condition after the couple took chloroquine phosphate, an additive used to clean fish tanks that is also found in an anti-malaria medication that’s been touted by President Donald Trump as a treatment for COVID-19. Banner Health said Monday that the couple in their 60s got sick within half an hour of ingesting the additive. The man couldn’t be resuscitated when he arrived at a hospital, but the woman was able to throw up much of the chemical, Banner said. It’s unclear if the couple took it specifically because of COVID-19, the dise...
