Local man who had near-deadly bout with COVID-19 still dealing with lingering symptoms

PHILADELPHIA - A Bucks County man who was one of the first people diagnosed with COVID-19 in the area during the onset of the pandemic said he's still experiencing symptoms long after recovering. Rico Rodriguez was in the hospital for two months with coronavirus in early 2020 and needed to be on a ventilator. He said most of his time spent in the hospital was a blur and he lost 45 pounds. "My doctor said when I first woke up that my lungs will come back, maybe not 100%, so I still do have breathing issues and shortness of breath from the longs sentence," Rodriguez said.Two years later, Rodriguez now considers himself a COVID-19 long hauler – a term for people still experiencing symptoms long after surviving the disease. Long COVID is usually diagnosed many weeks after a bout with COVID-19.

First-time homebuyer? Real estate experts offer advice in crazy market

first-time homebuyers and likely not the first story you’ve heard, especially lately: tight inventory, multiple offers on rundown properties and houses selling for well over the asking price — sometimes by hundreds of thousands of dollars.Last year, the housing market sizzled across the nation, with annual existing-home sales hitting their highest mark since 2006, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR)."After an initial lull in 2020, the market has been red hot and getting hotter," said Ron Melendez, a senior agent in Los Angeles with Compass’s The Stephanie Younger Group.So, how can first-time homebuyers navigate the process without becoming burned out, deflated or giving up altogether? If you’re a prospective first-time homebuyer hoping (or praying) home prices will decline in 2022, most experts agree: don’t count on it."If people are waiting for a price to decline, well, it’s not going to happen," Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the NAR, told FOX Television Stations. BRAMPTON, ON - MARCH 10: Houses continue to draw a premium price, as this recent SOLD sign shows. Inventory continues to be low which helps to drive up the prices for those looking to buy.

COVID-19 a global pandemic, changing the world overnight and marking the start of what would become one of the deadliest pandemics in world history.London had already seen one confirmed case of the virus by the time the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020, while the province had recorded at least 42 cases, along with its first death. (The death wouldn’t be officially confirmed as COVID-19-related until the following week.) School boards ‘expected’ to follow province in lifting mask mandate, Ontario government says Two years later, the London-Middlesex region has seen more than 32,500 lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 — an undercount due to testing eligibility changes — and has recorded more than 350 deaths, while across Ontario, more than 1.12 million people have tested positive and 12,227 have died during the pandemic.Globally, more than 454 million people have tested positive for COVID-19 while more than six million people have died, according to figures released by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at John Hopkins University.To mark the two-year anniversary of the pandemic, 980 CFPL’s Mike Stubbs sat down with Dr.

Millions at risk of losing Medicaid coverage once COVID-19 public health emergency ends

One analysis by the Urban Institute, an economic and policy think tank, projects this could be as many as 15.8 million people, depending on its end date. The analysis, co-authored by senior fellow Matthew Buettgens, aims to highlight the massive scale of coverage transition that awaits — and what happens to those losing coverage.

McMaster researchers say new ‘repellent wrap’ appears to resist all viruses and bacteria

McMaster University researchers in Hamilton say a promising pathogen-repellent wrap they’ve created could protect against contamination on high-touch surfaces such as door handles and railings.The so-called ‘RepelWrap’ is a simple plastic wrap with a built-in microscopic structure that helps to repel things like bacteria and viruses.Dr. Leyla Soleymani, associate professor Tohid Didar and others with the McMaster School of Biomedical Engineering published their first proof-of-concept research in December 2019, on the eve of the COVID-19 pandemic.The inventors believe their licensed technology has huge potential amid a worldwide viral crisis that led to more than 450 million COVID-19 cases between 2020 and 2022.“So … if you touch with a contaminated hand a regular surface, contamination will get transferred to it,” Soleymani told 900 CHML’s Good Morning Hamilton.“But if you touch the repel wrap, it doesn’t get contaminated.
