US President Joe Biden's administration has said it would appeal a judge's ruling ending a mask mandate on airplanes if public health officials deem it necessary to stem the spread of Covid-19.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to whom the administration was deferring, said that it would continue to study whether the mandates were still needed.

The mandates apply to planes, trains and other public transportation and, prior to Monday's ruling, had been due to expire on 3 May. "We will continue to assess the need for a mask requirement in those settings, based on several factors, including the US Covid-19 community levels, risk of circulating and novel variants, and trends in cases and disease severity," a CDC spokesperson said.

The Justice Department said it would appeal Monday's ruling by US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle that the 14-month-old directive was unlawful, if the CDC determined the mandate was needed to protect public health.

Focusing on 1 sport can have both positive and negative outcomes in teens, study finds

Ferrara/Newsday via Getty Images) A research team recently set out to understand why high school athletes specialize in a single sport, and more specifically, wanted to understand the role of athlete competitiveness in the decision to specialize. Former research has shown that repetitive sport specialization can lead to injury and burnout, and while this may still be the case, this new study, published in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, recognizes that it’s likely more nuanced than that.

Finland brewery's NATO beer has 'taste of security'

Olaf Brewing's OTAN beer, a NATO-themed brew. (Photo Courtesy of Olaf Brewing) HELSINKI (AP) - A small brewery in Finland has launched a NATO-themed beer to mark the Nordic country's bid to join the Western military alliance.Olaf Brewing's OTAN lager features a blue label with a cartoon version of a beer-drinking medieval knight in metal armor emblazoned with NATO's compass symbol.The beer's name is a play on the Finnish expression "Otan olutta," which means "I'll have a beer," and the French abbreviation for NATO, which is "OTAN." The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has two official languages, English and French.CEO Petteri Vanttinen told The Associated Press on Thursday that the craft brewery's ad hoc decision last weekend to start producing the beer was motivated by "worries over the war in Ukraine" and its consequences for Finland.He described the new lager as having "a taste of security, with a hint of freedom."Finland and Sweden on Wednesday submitted an application to join NATO at the alliance's headquarters in Brussels.Olaf Brewing said its new beer also honors the eastern Finnish town of Savonlinna, the brewery's base located a few dozen kilometers from Finland's border with Russia.Savonlinna is known for St.

Boeing's Starliner capsule blasts off on space station test flight – again

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Boeing launched its new space taxi on a long-awaited second test flight Thursday evening, hoping for an out-of-this-world boost in the race to catch up with rival SpaceX.The cone-shaped Starliner capsule, poised atop an Atlas V rocket, blasted off from Cape Canaveral just before 7 p.m., cutting a bright trail through the hazy sky. Fifteen minutes later, the capsule was flying on its own in space.No astronauts are aboard for the OFT-2 mission, but if all goes well, NASA could finally have the second crew-capable capsule they’ve wanted for years.When the space shuttles were retired over a decade ago, NASA was forced to rely on Russian capsules to get its astronauts to and from the space station.

Most 'long COVID' patients were not initially hospitalized with the infection, study finds

post-coronavirus health condition known as "long COVID" were not sick enough to be hospitalized when they were initially infected, according to a study released Wednesday. More than two years into the pandemic, the lingering symptoms of COVID-19 that many patients experience have come under the microscope. The study released Wednesday, which was conducted by the non-profit FAIR Health and has not been peer-reviewed, analyzed more than 78,000 people who were diagnosed with long COVID between October 2021 and January 2022. A sign for Covid-19 Testing is seen at the entrance to a shopping center. (Credit: Rooney Quinn/Getty Images) About three-quarters, 75.8%, of long COVID patients were not previously hospitalized with the disease. While the elderly are most vulnerable to serious complications from COVID-19, people between the ages of 36 and 50 were most susceptible to developing long COVID. Women made up about 60% of long COVID patients, even though females are less likely to die from COVID-19 than men.

COVID-19 deaths rise as hospitalizations drop in Manitoba

COVID-19 admitted to hospital fell last week, while deaths linked to the virus rose.The latest numbers came Thursday in the province’s weekly epidemiology update covering May 8-14, a week that saw 728 new cases reported in Manitoba. Patients waiting more than a day to be admitted in Winnipeg hospitals: ‘It’s absolutely terrifying’ With an average of 766 lab-tests for COVID-19 done daily through the week covered by the report, the positivity rate of lab tests was 18.5 per cent, an increase from 17.6 per cent in the previous week.But provincial case counts no longer necessarily give an accurate picture of active infection rates because the government has significantly scaled back testing and doesn’t include the results of tests done at home.Health officials say 149 people were hospitalized as a result of COVID-19, including 16 who needed to be admitted to the ICU.That’s down from the 196 new COVID-19 patients including 13 needing critical care reported the week before.

One Texas mom got quite a surprise when she was delivered 31 McDonald’s cheeseburgers after her 2-year-old son accidentally ordered them on DoorDash. Kelsey Golden, the mother of Barrett, who she affectionately called "cheeseburger boy" during a chat with FOX TV Stations, said her son loves to look at his reflection on her phone. "So I was getting the phone and I was transferring the pictures from my phone to the computer and any time I have my phone out, or my computer out, Barrett just dashes right to it," Golden explained. Golden works at her two eldest children’s elementary school and was tasked with putting the yearbook together. As Golden worked away, Barrett took the opportunity to play with his mother’s phone, plus it gave her some reprieve from childrearing to work on her project.
