HiIndia Newsdesk However, teammate Kuldeep Yadav strongly feels that Dhoni is in fine form and should be included in the national camp for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia in October-November.

Experts in Italy urged intensified efforts to identify new victims and trace their contacts.

For the past three years, prosecutors maintained that Flynn lied to the FBI in 2017 about his conversations with the Russian ambassador

HiIndia Newsdesk In an abrupt reversal, the US Justice Department moved to drop a criminal case against US President Donald

Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, according to court documents filed on Thursday.

The case against Flynn was the most high-profile to arise in the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election and alleged collusion with the Trump campaign.

In the court filing on Thursday, the Justice Department said that an FBI interview with Flynn was carried out without a “legitimate investigative basis” and called into question Flynn’s statement. “Moreover, we do not believe that the government can prove either the relevant false statements or their materiality beyond a reasonable doubt,” the court filing added.

Over the last week and more, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also lent the grouping’s backing to calls for an investigation into the origin of Covid outbreak.

This week, the European Union declared that it would move a resolution at the World Health Assembly for a timely review of the international response to the coronavirus pandemic including the World Health Organisation’s performance.

The review should be conducted in an “open, transparent and inclusive manner” under the leadership of World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Hua said at a briefing.

But she added that it should be at an “appropriate time after the pandemic is over”.

China also stressed that any inquiry should be based on the International Health Regulations, and be authorised by the World Health Assembly or Executive Committee - the WHO’s dual governing bodies.

The ministry confirmed Friday that Ferozuddin Feroz has tested positive for the virus. Afghanistan has recorded more than 100 deaths from the virus out of more than 3,700 confirmed cases.

This patchier and slower pattern of transmission sets Africa apart from other regions, WHO experts say.

Other factors taken into account are the region’s younger populations who have “benefitted from the control of communicable diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis”, as well as lower mortality rates.

London Mayor S a d i q K han on Thursday called for ethnicity to be recorded on all death certificates to expose the disproportionate effect that COVID-19 and other illnesses are having on the UK capital’s black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities.

The disproportionate impact on these communities has become increasingly clear with a recent Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) analysis estimating that hospital death rates are highest among those with Pakistani, Black Caribbean and Black African heritage.

Kamlendra Singh

New York: An Indian-American scientist-led team from the University of Missouri has found that four antiviral drugs, including remdesivir, a drug originally developed to treat Ebola, are effective in inhibiting the replication of the coronavirus causing COVID-19.

Kamlendra Singh, an associate professor

in the College of Veterinary Medicine, and his team used computer-aided drug design to examine the effectiveness of remdesivir, 5-fluorouracil, ribavirin and favipiravir in treating COVID-19.

According to the study, published in the journal Pathogens, Singh found that all four drugs were effective in inhibiting, or blocking, the coronavirus’’ RNA proteins from making genomic copies of the virus. “As researchers, we have an obligation to search for possible treatments given that so many people are dying from this virus,” Singh said.

These antiviral drugs, if they turn out to be effective, all have some limitations.

“But in the midst of a global pandemic, they are worth taking a deeper look at because based on our research, we have reason to believe that all of these drugs could potentially be effective in treating COVID-19,” he added.

The coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19, like all viruses, can mutate and develop resistance to antiviral drugs.

Premier League restart mired Fighters see UFC 249 as chance in health risks, self-interest to spread hope, inspiration

EPL restart mired in health risks, self-interest

HiIndia Newsdesk The rush to restart soccer during the coronavirus pandemic has been framed as a national purpose.

“It would lift the spirits of the nation,” Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said at the daily Downing Street coronavirus news conference on Tuesday, where he deputized for Prime Minister Boris Johnson. But Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish was more explicit about the wider motivations when there are $1 billion worth of games yet to be televised

Tony Ferguson on right

this season. “Yes, it is partly about the money,” Parish said. “And we should all care about the money.” At some point a decision will have to be made on whether financial obligations outweigh the risk of playing sport during a pandemic where Britain now has the world’s secondhighest announced death toll.

The Premier League insists it will only restart when it is “safe and appropriate to do so,” but the vague aspiration obscures the reality that lives are at risk as long as there is no COVID-19 vaccine.

HiIndia Newsdesk When the UFC leads North America’s major sports back into action Saturday night with a pay-per-view show in Florida, Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje know they can’t do anything tentatively. “We’ve got to go out there and keep sports alive,” Ferguson said Tuesday after he flew into Jacksonville and was quickly tested for COVID-19.

Rahane also said that in a coronavirusscarred world, the lifestyle of cricketers will undergo a change as far as pre and post-match routines are concerned. “…we would be needing three to four weeks of proper practice before playing any kind of competitive game (domestic or international),” Rahane, who was

named brand ambassador of ELSA (English Language Speech Assistant) app, said during an online press conference. “…I am missing my batting. But obviously, cricket should only start when we get a vaccine to fight the virus,”

he asserted.While the sports ministry is planning a phased resumption of national camps in Olympic disciplines, the BCCI is yet to spell out its plans on cricket.

Rahane said he is focussing on his fitness amid the lockdown.

“I am following the chart given by our trainer. I am also doing ‘free weights’ at home apart from meditation,” he said.

He agreed that in future, players will be wary of wild celebrations and group hugs which they are so used to at the fall of wickets. “I would like to wait and watch.

You will only get a fair idea about revised rules once play resumes.”

Yograj Singh took a dig at Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni for not backing his son.

HiIndia Newsdesk Yuvraj Singh’s father and former cricketer Yograj Singh is renowned for making bold statements, and in a recent interview, the 62-year-old took a dig at Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni for not backing his son.

Yograj said, “Along with these two (Dhoni and Kohli), I would say that even the selectors betrayed him. I had met Ravi recently. He asked me for a photograph. I called him and pointed out that all great players should get a send-off based on their performances. When Dhoni, Kohli or Rohit retire, I would request the board to give them a good send-off as they have done so much for Indian cricket. Many have backstabbed him and it hurts.”“Indian selector Sharandeep Singh, he used to go to meetings and say that Yuvraj should be dropped.

Such people are appointed as selectors who do not know ABC of cricket. What do you expect from them? It hurts when someone backstabs you. Everybody was worried about what would happen to them if Yuvraj continues to perform,” claimed Yograj Singh. Yograj further claimed that Suresh Raina was heavily backed by Dhoni and the Uttar Pradesh based cricketer was considered for the 2011 World Cup squad ahead of his son.

During this introspection, did it occur to you even once that your sleeping habits could be a factor hindering your progress?

It didn’t, we bet. Your non-seriousness towards sleep is what’s probably hampering your weight-loss journey.

The National Sleep Foundation recommends 7-9 hours of sleep every night for adults. Anything less than that can lead to weight gain.

Ayurvedic drinks for better health Ginger juice or tea

Widely used as a digestive aid in Ayurveda, ginger is an ingredient that you will find in every Indian kitchen. While its flavour is delightful in itself, the root is also packed with health benefits. Most of its medicinal properties are linked to gingerol–ginger’s main bioactive compound.

Ginger juice or tea is easy enough to prepare with fresh ginger or even dried ginger powder. It is especially helpful for fitness enthusiasts as studies show that ginger may reduce exercise-induced muscle pain, allowing for faster recovery and gains.

Sharman Joshi on working with Jeetendra in Baarish 2

We were all super excited when we got to know about it. And when he came on sets, it was a different experience altogether. He shared so many personal and professional stories. He was with u s c o n s t a n t l y, and it just made shooting so much happier.

Even when he had no scenes, he would still hang around with us. He was happy to be on

sets. And his high spirit was contagious as we all were always excited around him.

I know a lot of people keep saying it’s a tough time. However, I am having a great time. For almost a year and half, I did not get quality time to spend with my family.

And I am thus making the most of it. I recently read a joke that extroverts are worrying when will this be all over, while introverts are laughing at it (pointing at himself). I am afraid that post this, I won’t want to go out only.

Baarish 2 also stars Priya Banerjee, Vikram Singh Chauhan, Abhishek Verma, Anuj Duhan, Shubhangi Latkar, Benaf Patel and Sahil Shroff.

He gives examples of how schools, shopping malls, late-night drives and hanging out with friends have taken a break. However, one’s dreams can never be affected by the lockdown. And KBC 12 is here to give those dreams wings to fly.

The duo looks dapper in black and is twinning together and it seems they are truly made for each other. she revealed how he has been coping up during this quarantine.

She said, “My boyfriend, who is in Spain, has been in isolation and has been taking all kinds of precautions.

He has been telling me about the virus and somehow I was mentally prepared for this lockdown to happen. I’m talking to him every day and video calling to keep a check on his health. Honestly, he’s the one who is calming for the otherwise hyper person that I am. He has this relaxing effect on me.”

eepika Padukone has shared a heartbreaking note on the death of her Piku co-star Irrfan Khan who died of neuroendocrine tumour last week. The actor posted the lyrics of a song from the film along with a behind-the-scenes picture with Irrfan; Piku has completed 5 years today.

Neetu Kapoor thanks Mukesh Ambani and family: You have been our guardian angels

Actor Neetu Kapoor on Tuesday expressed her gratitude towards businessman Mukesh Ambani and family for the “immeasurable love and support” during her husband Rishi Kapoor’s battle with cancer.

The actor passed away at Mumbai’s H N Reliance hospital on April 30.

Neetu Kapoor wrote a long Instagram post for the Ambani family, thanking them for “the countless ways in which they have seen us safely through this time.”

She posted a picture of herself, Rishi Kapoor, Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani.

“For us, as a family, the last two years have been a long journey. There were good days, there were a couple of bad days too.. needless to say it was full of high emotion. But it’s a journey we would not have been able to complete without the immeasurable love and support of the Ambani family.

“As we’ve gathered our thoughts over the past few days we’ve also tried to find the words to express the gratitude we feel towards the family for the countless ways in which they have seen us safely through this time. Over the last seven months every member of the family has gone above and beyond in every way possible to care for our beloved Rishi and ensure he experienced as little discomfort as possible,” the actor wrote.

Simplicity should be the way of life: Dharmendra on lockdown Veteran actor Dharmendra believes the biggest takeaway from the coronavirus pandemic should be the importance of leading a simple life. The nationwide lockdown was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 24 to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Xiaomi Mi 10 too complex to be made in India Xiaomi’s 2020 flagship Mi 10 is all set to arrive in India on May 8 after months of delay due to the lockdown.

As reiterated by Xiaomi India Managing Director Manu Jain, the Mi 10 will be an expensive device when compared to the Redmi Note and K-series because of the complex components and flagship-level features.

Unlike the budget Redmi number series, the Redmi Note series and the K-series, the Mi 10 will not be made in India. The Mi 10 will be completely imported since

the components cannot be developed in India, Jain told indianexpess.com during a video conference. The import duties and the increase in GST rates on mobile phones in the country will add up to the Mi 10’s pricing, he noted.

Jain also noted that the company will try hard to have enough units of Mi 10 in stock to fulfil consumer demand.

With the Mi 10, Xiaomi hopes to transform the mindset of the Indian consumers who associate the brand with “affordability”.

digitally engineered by the micrometre to suit the performance requirements of those who seek to gain an “edge” in their sport, claims Adidas, the company credited with creating the first spiked shoes for athletes in 1924.

Whatever the technology embedded inside the serrated soles, it was super comfortable forfeet from day one. It seemed to mould perfectly to sensitive heels. we are able to walk and jog perfectly, and it gave us a feeling of almost gliding over dirt roads, marble floors and even slippery staircases.

The upper part, made of some stretchable yarn, aided the cushioning.

This shoe will certainly help people like me. While the ash-green sole and white uppers may look different, they gain you no fashion points.

Perhaps, grey or blue uppers may have been better. The shoe is also unusually expensive. But if you are an athlete or, like me, suffer from a foot problem then it is worth the price.

Microsoft Corp delayed the introduction of a foldable, dual-screen Surface laptop that had been planned for the holiday season, saying it will focus the new Windows 10X operating system on single-screen devices like tablets and notebook PCs.“Single-screen devices will be the first expression of Windows 10X that we deliver to our customers,” Panos Panay, chief product officer of Windows and devices, wrote in a blog post on Monday. “We will continue to look for the right moment, in conjunction with our OEM partners, to bring dual-screen devices to market.”

The device also offers faster graphics, 16GB of faster 3733MHz memory, 13-inch Retina display, Touch Bar and Touch ID with immersive stereo speakers and all-day battery life.

Announcing the product, Apple’s senior director of Mac and iPad Product Marketing Tom Boger said, “We are adding the new Magic Keyboard, doubling the standard storage, and boosting performance, making the 13-inch MacBook Pro an even better value for our customers.”

The new Magic Keyboard features a redesigned scissor mechanism and 1mm of key travel along with the inverted-“T” arrow keys that are easier to find and better for everything from spreadsheets to games. Like the 16-inch MacBook Pro that first featured the new Magic Keyboard, this too offers a physical Escape key, along with Touch Bar and Touch ID.

Tips for pregnant women to stay safe from COVID-19

Know about the infection

Be very aware of the potential symptoms of coronavirus and regular flu symptoms so that pregnant women can call their health provider if they have experience any, which include fever, respiratory symptoms or possibly even diarrhoea.

Regular online check-ups

Regular check-ups during pregnancy are very important for the health of your baby and you. To minimise any potential

Many offices are already working to consolidate inperson appointments; for example, if someone is coming in for an ultrasound, a routine prenatal check might be added to the same visit. So apart from social distancing, try and cut your routine checks ups to online consultations.

Do not touch your face repeatedly

If you have a habit of repeatedly touching your mouth, eyes, nose and ears, change this immediately. It is even more important for pregnant women because it can be harmful to their health as well as to their baby.

Ensure necessary precautions

It is necessary to wash your hands thoroughly with soap several times a day for at least 20 seconds. If you are in a place where water is not available, then keep using an alcohol-based sanitiser to clean the hands.

Method

Get enough sleep

The immune system’s efficacy dips during pregnancy, which places pregnant people at a higher risk for contracting many transmissible illnesses, whether food-borne or respiratory.

It is important for pregnant women to keep the body and mind fully energetic.

To keep the body and mind energetic, you need to get enough sleep. It has been proved in many researches that by getting enough sleep each day, our body’s immunity increases amazingly.

‘Restore Illinois’: 5-Phase Plan by Gov. JB Pritzker to Reopen State

BY A STAFF WRITER CHICAGO, IL - Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on Tuesday announced a five-phase plan to reopen the state amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The governor calls the plan “Restore Illinois” and he says it will be implemented on a “region-by-region basis.”

“We have to figure out how to live with COVID-19 until it can be vanquished – and to do so in a way that best supports our residents’ health and our healthcare systems, and saves the most lives,” Pritzker said in a statement.

The governor says his plan will be driven by the current virus data in different areas of the state.

“Restore Illinois is a public health plan to safely reintroduce the parts of our lives that have been put on hold in our fight against COVID-19. This is also a data-driven plan that operates on a region-by-region basis, a recognition that reality on the ground looks different in different areas of our state,” Pritzker said.

The governor also says we are now in phase two of the five-phase plan. Phase 2 began on May 1st when his modified stayat-home order began, which allowed some businesses to reopen.

Pritzker says this initial plan can and will

Gov. Pritzker show caption

be updated as research and science develop and as the potential for effective treatments or vaccines is realized.

The five phases of reopening for each health region are as follows: Phase 1 – Rapid Spread: The rate of infection among those tested and the number of patients admitted to the hospital is high or rapidly increasing. Strict stay at home and social distancing guidelines are put in place and only essential businesses remain open. Every region has experienced this phase once already and could return to

it if mitigation efforts are unsuccessful.

Phase 2 – Flattening: The rate of infection among those tested and the number of patients admitted to the hospital beds and ICU beds increases at an ever slower rate, moving toward a flat and even a downward trajectory. Non-essential retail stores reopen for curb-side pickup and delivery. Illinoisans are directed to wear a face covering when outside the home, and can begin enjoying additional outdoor activities like golf, boating and fishing while practicing social distancing. To varying degrees, every

region is experiencing flattening as of early May. Phase 3 – Recovery: The rate of infection among those tested, the number of patients admitted to the hospital, and the number of patients needing ICU beds is stable or declining. Manufacturing, offices, retail, barbershops and salons can reopen to the public with capacity and other limits and safety precautions. All gatherings limited to 10 or fewer people are allowed. Face coverings and social distancing are the norm.

Phase 4 – Revitalization: The rate of infection among those tested and the number of patients admitted to the hospital continues to decline. All gatherings of up to 50 people are allowed, restaurants and bars reopen, travel resumes, child care and schools reopen under guidance from the IDPH. Face coverings and social distancing are the norm.

Phase 5 – Illinois Restored: With a vaccine or highly effective treatment widely available or the elimination of any new cases over a sustained period, the economy fully reopens with safety precautions continuing.

Conventions, festivals and large events are permitted, and all businesses, schools, and places of recreation can open with new safety guidance and procedures in place reflecting the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indian American Woman Charged in Crash Indian American MU Researcher IDs that Seriously Injured Police Officer Four Potential Treatments for COVID-19

BY A STAFF WRITER NEW YORK, NY-A New York woman was speeding when she struck the median on a Jersey City highway early Tuesday morning and set off a chain reaction that has left a Port Authority police officer in critical condition, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said.

Amandeep Tiwana, 27, of Flushing, New York, was arrested by members of the Hudson County Regional Collision Investigation Unit Wednesday afternoon and she was charged with assault by auto, a fourth-degree crime, Suarez said. She is scheduled to make her first court appearance at 9 a.m. on May 20.

Port Authority Police Officer Peter Siano, III and three Jersey City Police Officers were securing the scene of an earlier crash and doing traffic control on the depressed roadway of Route 139 when Tiwana struck the divider, a JCPD radio car and then struck

Siano. Two of the Jersey City police officers, detectives Christopher Monahan and David Valente, sustained minor injuries in the second crash.

In the initial crash, which occurred just after 12:30 a.m., a 32-year-old New York woman overturned her vehicle on eastbound side of depressed Route 139. She was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center with minor injuries and has been released.

After the second crash, Tiwana was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center for examination and was released.

The Hudson County Regional Collision Investigation Unit is actively investigating this incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Office of the Hudson County Prosecutor at 201-915-1345 or to leave an anonymous tip at: http://www. hudsoncountyprosecutorsofficenj.org/ homicide-tip/.

BY A STAFF WRITER NEW YORK, NY- – A team from the University of Missouri let by an Indian American scientist has found that four antiviral drugs, including remdesivir, a drug originally developed to treat Ebola, are effective in inhibiting the replication of the coronavirus causing COVID-19.

Kamlendra Singh, an associate professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine, and his team used computer-aided drug design to examine the effectiveness of remdesivir, 5-fluorouracil, ribavirin and favipiravir in treating COVID-19.

According to the study, published in the journal Pathogens, Singh found that all four drugs were effective in inhibiting, or blocking, the coronavirus’ RNA proteins from making genomic copies of the virus.

“As researchers, we have an obligation to search for possible treatments given that so many people are dying from this virus,” Singh said.

These antiviral drugs, if they turn out to be effective, all have some limitations.

“But in the midst of a global pandemic, they are worth taking a deeper look at because based on our research, we have reason to believe that all of these drugs could potentially be effective in treating COVID-19,” he added.

The coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19, like all viruses, can mutate and develop resistance to antiviral drugs.

Therefore, further testing in a laboratory setting and in patients is needed to better evaluate how the proposed treatments interact with the virus’ RNA polymerase.

Singh’s research is an example of

Meanwhile, the U.S. is planning to begin treating some of the most seriously ill COVID-19 patients with the antiviral medication Remdesivir, the maker of the drug has announced, as tensions continued across the country over the economic reopening of states.

Last week, the Food and Dr ug Administration granted Emergency Use Authorization for the experimental antiviral drug remdesivir to treat COVID-19.

As of May 5, confirmed cases in the country had reached 1,180,634 with 68,934 deaths, according to the tally maintained by Johns Hopkins University.

Puzzling New Mystery Illness Has Surfaced Among Children in New York

BY A STAFF WRITER NEW YORK, , NY- — A puzzling new illness has surfaced among children, and medical experts believe it may be connected to COVID-19.

At least 15 young people between the ages of 2 and 15 in New York City have been hospitalized with the inflammatory disease, which is is similar to Kawasaki syndrome, a rare blood vessel disorder.

“Even though it’s uncommon, compared to the hundreds of thousands of people who have contracted this disease, it’s still causing us concern,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday.

“We are learning that even though children are by and large mildly affected when it comes to COVID-19 that there can be situations that they are more severely affected. And thank God in this situation we haven’t had any children who have died with this Kawasaki or Kawasaki-like illness,” said New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot.

There are a growing number of cases being reported on Long Island and New Jersey as well.

Dr. Barbot described the Kawasaki-like disease

as follows: “Generally, children present with prolonged high fevers, several days of very high fevers.

They can also have very red eyes, very brightly colored lips. One of the hallmarks that we see is what we call a strawberry tongue, which means

their tongue is very bright and red,” said Dr. Barbot. “The other symptoms children can have are a rash, they can have swelling of their hands and feet.

“Generally, if the condition is identified early, there is the definitive treatment, and

USCIS Updates Policy on False Claims of U.S. Citizenship USCIS NEWS RELEASE WASHINGTON, DC-U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced it is updating its Policy Manual (PDF, 307 KB) to align with the Department of Justice’s Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) precedent decision in Matter of Zhang. Decided in June 2019, the BIA held in this decision that false claims of U.S. citizenship do not need to be knowingly made to make an alien deportable under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The Policy Manual also applies the BIA’s decision to the false claim to U.S. citizenship ground of inadmissibility, as it is virtually identical to the ground of deportability.

Under the law, an alien is inadmissible or deportable if the alien falsely represents him or herself to be a citizen of the United States for any purpose or benefit under immigration law or under other federal or state law. The only exception Congress provided to the false claim to U.S. citizenship ground of inadmissibility requires that each parent of the alien is or was a U.S. citizen, the alien permanently resided in the United States before the age of 16, and the alien reasonably believed he or she was a U.S. citizen when claiming to be one.

adjustment of status based on refugee or asylee status, as well as legalization applicants, may be eligible to apply for a waiver of this ground of inadmissibility. This ground of inadmissibility does not apply to special immigrant juveniles seeking adjustment of status, or to registry applicants.

Matter of Zhang clarified that it is not

necessary for the government to show intent when it comes to false representations to U.S. citizenship. This guidance aligns with that decision and addresses inadmissibility for falsely claiming U.S. citizenship for any purpose or benefit under the INA or any other federal or state law, provided that the alien made the false claim on or after Sept. 30, 1996.

Indian American Georgia Tech. Professor Developing Low Cost, Portable Emergency Ventilator

BY A STAFF WRITER ATLANTA, GA-A research team headed by Devesh Ranjan of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, has created a prototype for a low-cost, portable emergency ventilator that uses electronic sensors and computer control to manage key clinical parameters such as respiration rate, tidal volume (the amount of air moved into and out of the lungs during each cycle), inspiration and expiration ratio, and pressure on the lungs.

The Open-AirVentGT was designed to address acute respiratory distress syndrome, a common complication for COVID-19 patients that causes their lungs to stiffen, requiring their breathing to be assisted by ventilators. The new device endeavors to make breathing more natural by allowing patients to trigger their own breaths instead of relying on a respiration rate pre-set in the device.

“Our primary goal is to give the clinicians control over key parameters of the ventilator’s

there are typically no long term consequences,” she continued. “However, if the syndrome is not identified early, there can be long term consequences, most commonly related to ongoing heart problems.”

Dr. Barbot said cases have also been identified in the U.K., Philadelphia, and Boston.

Dr. Baer says he’s treated five children with those symptoms at Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital in Hackensack, though none of them tested positive for COVID-19.

He says adults are exhibiting similar symptoms when their immune systems overreact while fighting off the virus.

Dr. Baer says his patients all recovered with supporting care, including antibiotics and blood pressure medication.

The city’s Department of Health issued a health alert asking doctors to report similar cases.

Hospitals are also working with the state Department of Health and the American Academy of Pediatrics to track, report, and determine what’s causing these unusual cases.

functionality,” Ranjan, an Indian American professor and associate chair in Georgia Tech’s George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, stated in a Georgia Tech press release.

“Once the system is initialized, a small on-board computer operates to maintain the setpoints governing respiration in an unattended way. The sensors and computer provide more control and real-time monitoring for doctors and other medical staff.”

Ranjan and his team have consulted the Global Center for Medical Innovation regarding steps necessary to seek FDA Emergency Use Authorization for the ventilator design.

The team has already been approached by Georgia Tech alumni in Ghana and India to set up manufacturing lines in their countries. The team is reviewing how best to release the design for others to mass produce these devices to meet the global needs, according to the Georgia Tech press release

Prof. Devesh Ranjan

“The impact of this could be significant if other parts of the world are hit by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Ranjan said in the press release. “Having equipment that can be made quickly where it is needed and with the kind of control system doctors need could really help address the worldwide impact of this virus.”

BY A STAFF WRITER AUSTIN, TX- - Harish Kotecha, founder of Hindu Charities for America, and who came from Uganda, encourages philanthropy in the Indian American community with the motto “serve where we live.”

“There is poverty here, too. I thought it would be so great if the Indian community worked as one to serve those in need in the U.S.,” Kotecha said recently.

Since the inception of HC4A in 2009, hundreds of Indian Americans have been inspired to raise over a million dollars.

The HC4A mission is to “bridge income disparities through education.”

School supplies, a backpack program, and scholarships form the pillars of the educationbased giving for the volunteers at HC4A. In 2017, President Donald Trump honored Kotecha with the president’s “Lifetime Achievement Award.”

Having made this model work in Austin, Texas, Kotecha and his team worked on expanding HC4A’s presence to Southern California, Houston and Dallas, the release added.

As HC4A volunteers celebrate 10 years of relentless hard work, at the Asian American Resource Center, Austin, none are ready to just sit on their laurels, it said.

They cheer on as they see a 2030 vision board of Shahrukh Khan and Jennifer Lopez coming for the Gala night celebrations and a fundraising goal of a 100 million dollars, it added.

2019 was the biggest year for HC4A as they were successful in establishing an irrevocable endowment fund for scholarships that will be disbursed by their partners at Austin Community College and Capital Idea.

This year about $150,000 in fellowships will go to students of various ethnic communities.

Indian American High School Student Names NASA’s First Mars Helicopter

BY A STAFF WRITER NORTHPORT, AL— An Alabama high school student named NASA’s first Mars helicopter that will be deployed to the Red Planet later this summer.

Ingenuity, the name submitted by Vaneera Rupani, was selected for the 4 pound (1.8 kilograms) solar-powered helicopter, NASA said in a statement on Wednesday. The name coined by the junior at Tuscaloosa County High School in Northport was just one of the 28,000 names that were submitted during NASA’s “Name the Rover” essay contest for K-12 students across the United States.

“The ingenuity and brilliance of people working hard to overcome the challenges of interplanetary travel are what allow us all to experience the wonders of space exploration,” Rupani wrote in her essay. “Ingenuity is what allows people to accomplish amazing things, and it allows us to expand our horizons to the edges of the universe.”

In March, the organization selected the name “Perseverance” for the Mars Rover

‘Fierce Helpers’: Nonprofit Co-founded by Indian American Student Giving Back to the Community

BY A STAFF WRITER CUPERTINO, CA- In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, a handful of Indian American students across the U.S. are stepping up to help. San Francisco Bay Area, Calif.-based Ramana Kolady is among the students who are giving back to the community.

The novel coronavirus outbreak has affected everyone to varying degrees but the group it poses the most threat to comprises of older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions. These people, with compromised immune systems, are at a higher risk for developing more serious complications from the virus, so for them going out to shop for groceries or other essential supplies is extremely risky. Step in Kolady’s organization, Fierce Helpers.

Founded by Kolady and Alexander Wang, the Cupertino, Calif.-based organization aims to help alleviate some of the stress on these communities by working to bring groceries and other supplies right to them. The volunteer-run organization consists of teenagers who offer free and safe delivery of these items.

This isn’t the first time Kolady is working to help out seniors. He has prior experience working with seniors through his nonprofit organization,

Richard Shelby also congratulated Rupani for the honor.

Ingenuity, which will be deployed to Mars attached to the “Perseverance” Rover in July or August, has already completed testing in a NASA simulation chamber in Southern California. After it arrives on Mars, NASA said the helicopter will maintain a cover to be protected from debris until the timing is right for the aircraft to operate on the planet by itself.

If Ingenuity is successful during its 31day experimental trip, the small helicopter will prove that powered flights can be accomplished on Mars, NASA said. This year’s mission to Mars is part of a program that also includes missions to the moon to prepare for a possible human exploration of the Red Planet, NASA said.

According to the organization, they plan to land the first woman and the next man on the moon in 2024, and set up a continued human presence “on and around” the moon in eight years so they can use it to send astronauts to Mars.

Kolady is currently a junior at Cupertino High School in Cupertino, Calif.

Wang is also a junior at Cupertino High School.

He hopes to pursue a career in banking.

Fierce Helpers is currently seeking more volunteers and those interested can register on its website www.fiercehelpers.com.

Requesting a delivery is pretty simple. Here’s how it works: fill out the ‘Request a Delivery’ form on the website; a volunteer will get in touch; and payment can be made in one of three ways – call the store in advance to place the order and pay with your credit card over the phone, letting them know someone else will be picking it up, or provide the volunteer with cash before they complete the order, or reimburse the volunteer after they pick up.

They are hoping more and more people are able to avail the free service.

“If you know anyone who could use this service, please feel free to let them know about Fierce Helpers and how they can simply place an order and have it delivered to them, ensuring their safety,” reads a message on the Students and Seniors United website.

Janet Napolitano

BY A STAFF WRITER OAKLAND, CA- University of California’s outgoing president Janet Napolitano addressed the struggles of the state’s university system amid the coronavirus pandemic in a webinar with the Bay Area Council on Thursday.

All 10 UC campuses are closed, and Napolitano said, “Reopening will be more difficult than shutting down was and there are lots of things to take into account.”

When the schools reopen in the fall, the experience offered to students will be different compared to what it was before COVID-19.

“I think it’s fair to say that none of our campuses will be fully reopened, like we’ve turned a light switch and all of a sudden COVID-19 was gone and it went away,” said Napolitano, who will be with the UC system through May. “I think what we are exploring is a mix where there will be some material that is delivered in a classroom or lab setting and other classes continue to be online.”

Before opening, the campuses will need to meet certain standards and requirements geared toward the safety of teachers and students.

In the near future, Napolitano said significant measures will need to be made to cut costs.

FDA Issues Emergency Use Authorization for Potential COVID-19 Treatment FDA NEWS RELEASE WASHINGTON, DC-Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: FDA Issues Emergency Use Authorization for Potential COVID-19 Treatment Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for the investigational antiviral drug remdesivir for the treatment of suspected or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in adults and children hospitalized with severe disease. While there is limited information known about the safety and effectiveness of using remdesivir to treat people in the hospital with COVID-19, the investigational drug was shown in a clinical trial to shorten the time to recovery in some patients.

“FDA’s emergency authorization of remdesivir, two days after the National Institutes of Health’s clinical trial showed promising results, is a significant step forward in battling COVID-19 and another example of the Trump Administration moving as quickly as possible to use science to save lives,” said HHS Secretary Alex Azar. “NIH, FDA, and scientists across America and around the world have worked tirelessly with patients to get us this new potential treatment for COVID-19. The seamless cooperation between government and private industry under the President’s all-of-America approach to COVID-19 is getting treatment options to patients in record time.”

The emergency use authorization allows for remdesivir to be distributed in the U.S. and administered intravenously by health care providers, as appropriate, to treat suspected or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in adults and children hospitalized with severe disease. Severe disease is defined as patients with low blood oxygen levels or needing oxygen therapy or more intensive breathing support such as a mechanical ventilator.

“From day one, the FDA has been committed to expediting the development

and availability of potential COVID-19 treatments. Today’s action is an important step in our efforts to collaborate with innovators and researchers to provide sick patients timely access to new therapies where appropriate, while at the same time supporting research to further evaluate whether they are safe and effective,” said FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn, M.D. “There’s tremendous interest among all parties to identify and arm ourselves with medicines to combat COVID-19, and through our Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program, the FDA is working around-the-clock and using every tool at our disposal to speed these efforts.”

Based on evaluation of the emergency use authorization criteria and the scientific evidence available, it was determined that it

PA Merchants Alarmed by Mobs of People Shoplifting

BY A STAFF WRITER PHILADELPHIA, PA- -- A group of 20 merchants in Philadelphia say policies set forth by the city during the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an alarming epidemic of shoplifting, and in some cases, mobs of people.

In one incident at the 7-Eleven store at 22nd & Market streets, video shows a group of about eight to 10 kids come in and spread out throughout the store. Each starts collecting items from different shelves and refrigerators before suddenly running for the door. The owner says this has happened two to three times since the pandemic.

“Actually, I’ve been facing a lot of shoplifting. Every day I try to call and sometimes when I call 911 nobody answers,” said Mohammed Karim, a store owner.

At another store, another mob enters a store, including a young boy. Within minutes, the same thing happens with people running for the door with various items, the clerk running after them to no avail.

In other instances, merchants say people are filling their back packs with merchandise seemingly with no fear the law will catch up with them.

“People are coming in the store, they’re loading their bag and they’re actually telling us the law, that they’re not gonna get locked

up,” said merchant Sukhvir Thinb.

Merchants say store clerks are terrified with what is going on.

“I have three employees quit last week, they don’t want to work anymore because of safety issues,” said Manzoor Chughta, president of the Delaware Valley Franchise Owners Association.

“A mob entering a business sounds like more than just shoplifting, it sounds terroristic. If police are making arrests in cases like that, our office would charge appropriately,” said Jane Roh, spokeswoman with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office.

Due to the pandemic, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw ordered arrests be delayed for non-violent crimes such as theft, drugs or prostitution.

“I think broadcasting no arrests for retail theft was the biggest mistake the city ever made,” said store owner Sukhvir Thinb.

is reasonable to believe that remdesivir may be effective in treating COVID-19, and that, given there are no adequate, approved, or available alternative treatments, the known and potential benefits to treat this serious or life-threatening virus currently outweigh the known and potential risks of the drug’s use.

The EUA also requires that fact sheets that provide important information about using remdesivir in treating COVID-19 be made available to health care providers and patients, including dosing instructions, potential side effects and drug interactions.

Possible side effects of remdesivir include: increased levels of liver enzymes, which may be a sign of inflammation or damage to cells in the liver; and infusion-related reactions, which may include low blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, sweating, and shivering.

Following the declaration by the Secretary of HHS that circumstances exist justifying the emergency use of unapproved products, the FDA may issue an emergency use authorization to allow unapproved medical products or unapproved uses of approved medical products to be used in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or lifethreatening diseases or conditions caused by chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats when there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives.

The issuance of an EUA is different than FDA approval. In determining whether to issue an EUA, the FDA evaluates the available evidence and carefully balances any known or potential risks of any unproven products with any known or potential benefits of making them available during the emergency.

The EUA was issued to Gilead Sciences Inc. The FDA previously allowed for study of the investigational drug under clinical trials, as well as expanded access use for individual patients and through a multipatient expanded access program coordinated

by Gilead.

The EUA will be effective until the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of drugs and biologics for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 is terminated and may be revised or revoked if it is determined the EUA no longer meets the statutory criteria for issuance.

The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.

Schultz in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, Minnesota. MASOOD was ordered to remain in custody pending a formal detention hearing, which is scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, 2020.

According to the allegations in the complaint, MASOOD, a licensed medical doctor in Pakistan, was formerly employed as a Research Coordinator at a medical clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, under an H-1B Visa. Between January 2020 and March 2020, MASOOD made several statements to others, including pledging his allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) and its leader, and expressing his desire to travel to Syria to fight for ISIS. MASOOD also expressed his desire to conduct “lone wolf” terrorist attacks in the United States.

On Feb. 21, 2020, MASOOD purchased a plane ticket from Chicago, Illinois to Amman, Jordan, and from there planned to travel to Syria. On March 16, 2020, MASOOD’s travel plans changed because Jordan closed its borders to incoming travel due to the Coronavirus pandemic. MASOOD made a new plan to fly from Minneapolis to Los Angeles to meet up with an individual who he believed would assist

Muhammad Masood

him with travel via cargo ship to deliver him to ISIS territory.

On March 19, 2020, MASOOD traveled from Rochester to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) to board a flight bound for Los Angeles, California. Upon arrival at MSP, MASOOD checked in for his flight and was subsequently arrested by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.

This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrew R. Winter and Timothy C. Rank, with assistance from Trial Attorney Katie Sweeten of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.
