Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs.\n\nA future influenza pandemic may unfold in a similar manner, say the NIAID authors, whose paper in the Oct. 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases is now available online. Therefore, the authors conclude, comprehensive pandemic preparations should include not only efforts to produce new or improved influenza vaccines and antiviral drugs but also provisions to stockpile antibiotics and bacterial vaccines as well.\n\nThe work presents complementary lines of evidence from the fields of pathology and history of medicine to support this conclusion. \"The weight of evidence we examined from both historical and modern analyses of the 1918 influenza pandemic favors a scenario in which viral damage followed by bacterial pneumonia led to the vast majority of deaths,\" says co-author NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. \"In essence, the virus landed the first blow while bacteria delivered the knockout punch.\"\n\nNIAID co-author and pathologist Jeffery Taubenberger, M.D., Ph.D., examined lung tissue samples from 58 soldiers who died of influenza at various U. S. military bases in 1918 and 1919. The samples, preserved in paraffin blocks, were re-cut and stained to allow microscopic evaluation.

(COVID-19) have been reported in the United States*; however, this number might underestimate the total impact of the pandemic on mortality. Measures of excess deaths have been used to estimate the impact of public health pandemics or disasters, particularly when there are questions about underascertainment of deaths directly attributable to a given event or cause (1\u20136).\u2020 Excess deaths are defined as the number of persons who have died from all causes, in excess of the expected number of deaths for a given place and time. This report describes trends and demographic patterns in excess deaths during January 26\u2013October 3, 2020. Expected numbers of deaths were estimated using overdispersed Poisson regression models with spline terms to account for seasonal patterns, using provisional mortality data from CDC\u2019s National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) (7). Weekly numbers of deaths by age group and race/ethnicity were assessed to examine the difference between the weekly number of deaths occurring in 2020 and the average number occurring in the same week during 2015\u20132019 and the percentage change in 2020. Overall, an estimated 299,028 excess deaths have occurred in the United States from late January through October 3, 2020, with two thirds of these attributed to COVID-19. The largest percentage increases were seen among adults aged 25\u201344 years and among Hispanic or Latino (Hispanic) persons. These results provide information about the degree to which COVID-19 deaths might be underascertained and inform efforts to prevent mortality directly or indirectly associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, such as efforts to minimize disruptions to health care.\n\nEstimates of excess deaths can provide a comprehensive account of mortality related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including deaths that are directly or indirectly attributable to COVID-19.

An estimated 299,028 more persons than expected have died since January 26, 2020; approximately two thirds of these deaths were attributed to COVID-19. A recent analysis of excess deaths from March through July reported very similar findings, but that study did not include more recent data through September (5).\n\nAlthough more excess deaths have occurred among older age groups, relative to past years, adults aged 25\u201344 years have experienced the largest average percentage increase in the number of deaths from all causes from late January through October 3, 2020. The age distribution of COVID-19 deaths shifted toward younger age groups from May through August (9); however, these disproportionate increases might also be related to underlying trends in other causes of death. Future analyses might shed light on the extent to which increases among younger age groups are driven by COVID-19 or by other causes of death. Among racial and ethnic groups, the smallest average percentage increase in numbers of deaths compared with previous years occurred among White persons (11.9%) and the largest for Hispanic persons (53.6%), with intermediate increases (28.9%\u201336.6%) among AI/AN, Black, and Asian persons. These disproportionate increases among certain racial and ethnic groups are consistent with noted disparities in COVID-19 mortality.***\n\nThe findings in this report are subject to at least five limitations. First, the weighting of provisional NVSS mortality data might not fully account for reporting lags, particularly in recent weeks. Estimated numbers of deaths in the most recent weeks are likely underestimated and will increase as more data become available.

Shallow breathing, hyperventilation, and breath holding can cause increases in carbon dioxide which leads to headaches and nausea.

Hypoxic brain injuries occur when the brain receives less oxygen than it needs, but is not completely deprived of oxygen. Because the effects of the two injuries are similar, many brain experts use the terms interchangeably.\n\nA few seconds of oxygen deprivation won't cause lasting harm, so a child who holds his breath in frustration, a combatant choked unconscious during a Jiu-Jitsu match, and a diver who needs a few extra seconds to come up for air are unlikely to experience brain damage. The precise timeline of anoxic brain injuries depends on a number of personal idiosyncrasies, including overall brain and cardiovascular health, as well as the level of blood oxygenation at the time of injury. Generally speaking, injuries begin at the one-minute mark, steadily worsening thereafter.\nHow Long Can the Brain Go Without Oxygen? A Timeline\n\n Between 30-180 seconds of oxygen deprivation, you may lose consciousness.\n At the one-minute mark, brain cells begin dying.\n At three minutes, neurons suffer more extensive damage, and lasting brain damage becomes more likely.\n At five minutes, death becomes imminent.\n At 10 minutes, even if the brain remains alive, a coma and lasting brain damage are almost inevitable.\n At 15 minutes, survival becomes nearly impossible.\n\nThere are, of course, exceptions to every rule. Some training routines help the body make more efficient use of oxygen, enabling the brain to go longer periods without this vital element. Free divers routinely train to go long periods without oxygen, and the current record holder, Aleix Segura held his breath for 24 minutes and 3 seconds without sustaining brain damage!", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://www.spinalcord.com/blog/what-happens-after-a-lack-of-oxygen-to-the-brain", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230316105424/https://www.spinalcord.com/blog/what-happens-after-a-lack-of-oxygen-to-the-brain" } ] } ], "cached_original_claim_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210323004829/http://archive.today/6Hm5X" }, { "claim": "Carbon dioxide intoxication is caused by wearing face masks.", "required_reannotation": false, "label": "Refuted", "justification": "It seems from both question and answer pairs that carbon dioxide intoxication is not cause by wearing face masks.

What are the five major challenges Buhari is facing? An overview. 1. Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram\n\nHe promised to defeat the islamist terror group Boko Haram. Since his election in March 2015, Buhari has been able to curb the influence of the Islamist extremists. But although the president in December 2015 said that Boko Haram was \"technically defeated,\" the islamists continue to attack. The terrorist group is said to be responsible for an attack in Maiduguri on Wednesday that left eight people dead.\n\nStill unclear is under what circumstances the 21 Chibok schoolgirls were released on Thursday. According to local sources, the girls were swapped for Boko Haram prisoners. The Nigerian government has denied this. Over two years ago, Boko Haram kidnapped 276 Nigerian schoolgirls from Chibok. The Chibok girls became a symbol of the Boko Haram terror. Although the Nigerian military was able to claw back territory from from Boko Haram, Buhari has been under criticism, because he wasn't - until this week - able to free any of the girls.\n\nAnd in the northeastern part of the country, the population still faces a humanitarian crisis because of Boko Haram. UNICEF workers are referring to the worst situation of hunger in the world. More than three million people in the region have been forced out of their homes. Aid agencies can only reach many of the refugee camps by helicopter -\u00a0the streets are very insecure. Oxfam workers accuse the army of doing nothing in the region instead of securing access roads for aid agencies. 2. Economic slump\n\nThe fight against Boko Haram is costing Buhari a lot of money and it is running out. The price of oil has gone down by half since mid 2014, likewise oil production has sunk drastically due to sabotage by rebels in the Niger Delta -\u00a0Buhari's next problem.

In his statement, McConnell said: \u201cPresident Trump\u2019s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.\u201d\n\nMcConnell\u2019s words have been controversial for many. Following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016, President Obama selected a candidate for his replacement. However, Obama\u2019s replacement (Merrick Garland) never became a Justice.\n\nMcConnell and other Republican Senators would not hold any hearings on the potential new Justice. Their reasoning was that the people ought to choose the next Supreme Court Justice by proxy through the upcoming presidential election. That election came and went, with Donald Trump winning and eventually appointing Brett Kavanaugh as the next Justice.", "answer_type": "Abstractive", "source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210316031824mp_/https://www.republicanleader.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/mcconnell-statement-on-the-passing-of-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210316031824mp_/https://www.republicanleader.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/mcconnell-statement-on-the-passing-of-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg" } ] } ], "cached_original_claim_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230403155144/https://www.republicanleader.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/mcconnell-statement-on-the-passing-of-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg" }, { "claim": "The fastest Supreme Court justice ever confirmed in the U.S. was 47 days.", "required_reannotation": false, "label": "Refuted", "justification": "This claim is refuted.

Decider was there in Park City for the screening, and our Senior Film Reporter Anna Menta filed a review of Cuties, calling it a \u201ccoming-of-age film that will speak volumes to anyone who has lived through the agonizingly confusing time that is girlhood.\u201d\n\nEarlier this week, Netflix announced the premiere date of Cuties (September 9) and released the trailer for the film, which immediately set off a firestorm of criticism from hordes of angry keyboard warriors \u2014most of whom, we assume, have yet to actually see the movie\u2014 who found some fresh ammunition for the culture wars.

Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her family\u2019s traditions.\n\nEver since Miley Cyrus set the world aflame in 2013 by bringing the twerking dance craze into the mainstream \u2014 putting \u201ccultural appropriation\u201d directly into the crosshairs of the outrage economy on both sides of the political spectrum \u2014 the word \u201ctwerking\u201d has been a loaded term. Combining that term with the precocious age of the film\u2019s primary protagonist, an 11-year-old girl, left the rabid (and scarily thriving) QAnon community foaming at the mouth; it was the cultural equivalent of throwing red meat to Joe Exotic\u2019s menagerie of underfed tigers. The movie\u2019s TV-MA rating further incited Twitter users to accuse Netflix of making \u201cchild porn,\u201d of being run \u201cby a bunch of pedophiles,\u201d and much worse.

For 2020, one Uyghur region set an unprecedented near-zero birth rate target: a mere 1.05 per mille, compared to 19.66 per mille in 2018. This was intended to be achieved through \u201cfamily planning work.\u201d\n\nIn 2018, natural population growth plummeted: to 4.06\u2030 in all minority regions and 2.58\u2030 in Kashgar and\nHotan. - In a drastic reversal of long-standing historic trends, the declines in Uyghur population growth have occurred mainly in the countryside. For example, Keriya County in Hotan had one of Xinjiang\u2019s highest natural population growth rates in previous years, with rates being nearly double those of Hotan City. Its first marked decline occurred in 2016, but the by far most dramatic drop (to -0.49\u2030) took place in 2018.\n\nIn 2018, minority regions in Xinjiang also deployed mass health exams to identify family planning violations.
