Paragraph: There was no discussion of costs. The story included quantitive information about weight loss over time. It did not quantify the impact on blood pressure. The story mentioned specific side effects of this particular medication combination. To be most informative to readers, the story should have mentioned that the potential for long-term harm is not known. And the rate at which people stopped taking the drug due to side effects should have been included. While indicating that several studies had been conducted in more than 4,500 people with various characteristics, the story never mentioned whether the studies are considered definitive or not; it also did not mention that the results of these studies have not yet been published in peer-reviewed journals. And while reporting that weight loss appeared to be dose dependent, there was no discussion of how weight loss compared with those in control groups. Lastly as the focus of the story appeared to be on an effect on blood pressure, it would seem that the story should have included some detail about the magnitude of the change. The story did not engage in overt disease mongering. The story mention that the study author and Dr. Aronne received funding from the manufacturer of this drug. It also included a quote from the president of the American Society of Hypertension who does not appear to have a financial tie to this product. There was no information about how well this product works in comparison with other approaches to weight loss. It's pretty clear from the story that the combination of the two drugs is not yet available. The story reported that the drug was a combination of two commercially available medications. It does not appear that the story relied solely or largely on a news release. Claim: Weight Loss Pill Also Lowers Blood Pressure
Although highlighting the effect of this product on blood pressure, the story did not explain how much blood pressure dropped. The story also didn't say how common the side effects are or how often people have to discontinue the medication due to side effects. It would have been helpful to remind readers of the possible pitfalls that may be ahead and that little is known about the long term use of this product in terms of both weight loss and potential risks that might result. Obesity and high blood pressure are very common conditions. There are few treatment for obesity that have been demonstrated to be enable people to lose weight and maintain that loss.

Paragraph: Health Ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur, speaking on state television, said the death toll had risen by 92, while the total number of cases of infection reached 77,995. However, a report by the Iranian parliament's research centre suggested that the coronavirus tolls might be almost twice as many as those announced by the health ministry. "The assessment is that the actual mortality which has not been accounted for is 0.8 times the official figures. The number of infected cases could be 8 to 10 times the official figures," the report said. The report said that Iran's official coronavirus figures were only based on the number of deaths in hospitals and those who had already tested positive for the coronavirus. "To narrow the gap between the officially announced figures and the estimated figures, it is necessary to improve the laboratory capacity of the country," it said. Iranian health ministry officials have not commented on the report, which was published online. The government is worried that measures to limit public activities could wreck an economy which has already been battered by sanctions. On Saturday, low-risk business activities resumed across the country, including many shops, factories and workshops, with the exception of Tehran. They will re-open in the capital from Saturday. Health experts have criticised easing of the limitations, warning about the new wave of the disease. Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi called on people to stay at home, saying: "We are expecting the epidemic to pick up in autumn", state TV reported. On social media, Iranians posted pictures of busy streets, packed branches of banks and crowded buses in Tehran and other cities. Iran is the Middle Eastern country worst-affected by the COVID-19 respiratory disease and has one of the world's highest death tolls. Claim: Iran coronavirus death toll up as official warns of autumn rise in cases.
Iran's official coronavirus death toll rose to 4,869 on Thursday but a parliamentary report said the actual number could be much higher and a deputy minister warned the infection could spread further in autumn.

Paragraph: In Michigan, one of the few hospital systems conducting widespread staff testing found that more than 700 workers were infected with the coronavirus - more than a quarter of those tested. More than a month after the pandemic hit the United States, the persistent test shortages mean that health workers are treating patients while experiencing mild symptoms that could signal they are infected themselves, according to Reuters interviews with 13 nurses and 2 doctors who described testing shortages at their hospitals. Many medical centers are testing only the workers with the most severe symptoms, according to the frontline workers and hospital officials. As a result, nurses and doctors risk infecting patients, colleagues and their families without knowing they are carrying the virus, medical experts say. The New York City nurse works at Mount Sinai Hospital, a major institution in the national epicenter of the pandemic. Her nausea, upset stomach and low-grade fever did not qualify her to get a test in late March, she told Reuters on condition of anonymity. She continued to work because her fever - at 100.2 degrees Fahrenheit (37.9 Celsius) - was just below the threshold set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for sending health workers home. But she had the virus, an infection she confirmed when she took it upon herself to get tested at a private clinic, she said. "I knew something wasn't right," the nurse said, "but I didn't really think I had it." A hospital spokesman declined to comment on the nurse's case but said that mildly symptomatic employees could now get tested. Mount Sinai Hospital's chief medical officer, Vicki LoPachin, told staff on April 4 that the hospital would increase testing of employees with symptoms of the virus starting on Tuesday. New York City is home of the nation's worst coronavirus outbreak, with about 78,000 cases and 3,600 deaths as of Wednesday morning. Nationwide, the number of infections has surpassed 400,000, with nearly 13,000 deaths. (For an interactive graphic tracking the virus, see tmsnrt.rs/2XjOZil ) The continued test shortages - even for the workers most at risk - is "scandalous" and a serious threat to the patients they treat, said Dr. Art Caplan, a professor of bioethics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. "It's obvious that we should be testing healthcare workers, just as points of infectivity," Caplan said. On Monday, the U.S. Health and Human Services Inspector General's Office published a survey of 323 hospitals that found the shortages left the facilities unable to effectively test staff and patients, who frequently waited more than seven days for results because of delays at outside laboratories. In March, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave states permission to approve their own tests to avoid federal regulatory delays. It also approved the first rapid coronavirus diagnostic test, manufactured by Cepheid, which the company says can detect the virus in about 45 minutes without sending samples to an outside laboratory. The FDA did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Wednesday about federal efforts to further address the persistent national test shortages. While some hospitals have announced plans to test more employees in recent days due to increased capacity, the inconsistency across states has created a patchwork of testing protocols based on the supplies available. NYC Health + Hospitals, the corporation that operates the city's 11 public hospitals, said last week they would have the capacity to test all employees - regardless of symptoms - by April 22. In Georgia, where the nurse told Reuters she was denied testing after treating a dying patient, the state health department said it is giving priority to healthcare workers at new drive-through test sites. The workers, however, must be evaluated and recommended for testing by a doctor. The CDC advises that healthcare facilities should prioritize giving their limited tests to hospitalized patients and symptomatic healthcare workers, specifically those experiencing fever, cough and shortness of breath. All other healthcare workers should receive tests "as resources allow," according to the CDC's website. In Michigan - a leader among states in establishing testing programs that deliver quick results - more than 700 staff in the Henry Ford Health hospital system have tested positive out of some 2,500 employees tested since March 12, chief clinical officer Adnan Munkarah said on April 6. While the infected workers represent just 2% of the system's overall staff, the high percentage of positive tests in the initial round signals that further testing could reveal many more infections. The Henry Ford system did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. Until rapid testing is widely available, hospitals face a dilemma: Do they test staff with mild symptoms and keep them home for days as they await results? Or do they keep mildly ill - but desperately needed - staff at work to treat the rush of patients? "It's a different kind of triage," said Caplan, the bioethics professor. "It's precaution versus, 'I need staff.'" Rapid testing of all hospital employees could possibly decimate the workforce by revealing asymptomatic infected workers, several healthcare workers told Reuters. But it would also protect colleagues, patients and family members. "It's scary to come home and not know if you're bringing it home to your family," said Sydnie Boylan, a nurse at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles. She went to work in late March with a headache and sore throat, but no fever, after she had been exposed to a coronavirus patient while not wearing sufficient protective gear. Those symptoms did not qualify for testing at her hospital. Boylan said the hospital told her to quarantine at home for 14 days because of her exposure to the patient. The headache and sore throat persisted for six days, she said. Asked about Boylan's case, Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center's head of clinical operations Jamie Chang said in a statement the hospital is testing as many staff and patients as possible with limited supplies. He said the hospital follows the Los Angeles County Health Department guidelines for testing, which recommend prioritizing patients with a cough, fever and difficulty breathing. "Despite the severe shortage in testing capacity available to the hospital, Chang said, "all HPMC staff have access to the same COVID-19 testing that we offer to our patients." Boylan said she had been tested at a drive-through site. She is still waiting on the results. Claim: U.S. nurses who can't get tested fear they are spreading COVID-19.
In New York City, an intensive care nurse treated patients for three days after she started displaying symptoms of COVID-19 - but couldn't get a test from her hospital. In Georgia, a nurse was denied a test after treating an infected patient who died.
