Changing America - Solving the mystery of long COVID-19, climate change and blackouts, and filmmaker Horacio Marquínez reflects on what he saw on the Capitol steps on January 6, 2021
A scientist in South Africa has found a link between microclots and long COVID-19, which she says is an important step in better understanding the affliction from which 100 million people are suffering. A patient is diagnosed with long COVID when the effects of an infection persist for more than four weeks.
The price of electricity along the West Coast is likely to spike over the next few decades because of more extreme weather events, new research suggests. More severe heat waves and droughts are also likely to impact the reliability of the coast’s power grid.
Researchers estimate about 25 million metric tons of sodium chloride is used to deice roads during the winter season across the U.S. New research found that road salts can contaminate water supplies by mobilizing harmful chemicals like radon, mercury and lead.
New research suggests white-tailed deer may be highly susceptible to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, a fact that could potentially complicate efforts to bring the pandemic to an end. Researchers warn circulation of the virus in deer could potentially pose a risk to humans if the animal becomes a reservoir for the virus.
One year after the Capitol insurrection, filmmaker Horacio Marquínez reflects on what he saw, who he photographed, and where we may be headed: "What I found on January 6 and on my eight month journey on the road ... was that [despite everything] Americans are in essence optimistic and hopeful."
