      Orange County at risk of reverting to most restrictive purple tier as COVID-19 infection rates rise

      It’s not that Orange County reported 335 new cases of COVID-19 and two additional deaths Wednesday, that may send it back into the most restrictive purple tier in the state’s Coronavirus metrics. After all, the positivity rate was actually down Wednesday, if slightly. 

      However, the trend is troubling, especially at Santa Ana's UCI Family Health Center, where the rate of infection went up by 11% in a week.

      Coughs Can Send COVID Virus Farther Than 6 Feet

      Droplets from a cough may travel farther than 6 feet and could potentially carry enough COVID-19 virus to infect another person, according to a new study.

      Public health officials have urged everyone to practice social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, which means leaving some space between yourself and people you don’t live with. This new study adds to other research that finds that these guidelines -- the CDC advises leaving at least 6 feet between yourself and other people -- may not go far enough.

      Neurostimulation of Tongue Relieves Tinnitus Symptoms

      Tinnitus, the sensation of ringing in the ears, is one of the most common medical conditions. Approximately 15% of the population suffers from it, but the nature of this malady makes it difficult to study and find therapeutic options. Now, a multinational collaboration of researchers has shown that a neurostimulation system made by Neuromod Devices Limited, an Irish company, can significantly reduce the symptoms of tinnitus.

      Coronavirus cases in OC may be 7 times higher than reported

      The number of COVID-19 infections in Orange County may be nearly eight times higher than previously thought, a new antibody study suggests.

      Although the screening, a collaborative effort between UC Irvine and the O.C. Health Care Agency, demonstrates that the coronavirus may be far more widespread — though less deadly — than official numbers indicate, researchers said more work is needed to understand the level of protection that antibodies provide and how best to address disparities in how the virus affects different populations.

      For-Profit Nursing Homes' Pleas For Government Money Brings Scrutiny

      Nursing homes have been overwhelmed by the coronavirus. Residents account for more than a quarter of all COVID-19 deaths nationwide. The industry says that facilities have also been overwhelmed by costs, and they're asking for billions in aid from the federal government. But recent studies suggest that for-profit ownership may have endangered residents by skimping on care, while funneling cash to owners and investors.

      New Study Shows Effectiveness of Neck Gaiters

      Two months after a study on masks called neck gaiters into question, new research shows that the tubular accessories may be just as or more effective than cloth masks at protecting against the spread of COVID-19. The findings out of the University of Georgia vindicate what promotional products suppliers have been saying all along: that a face covering’s effectiveness depends largely on what type of fabric it’s made of and how many layers of material are used to construct it.

      Orange County resets clock to move into next reopening tier

      Orange County won’t be moving up to the next tier under California’s coronavirus reopening rules for at least two more weeks after the average new daily COVID-19 case rate climbed.

      Dr. Clayton Chau, the Orange County Health Care Agency director, said during a Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday that the county was on track last week to move to the next tier, but the latest data on new infections will keep the county in Tier 2 — the “red tier” — denoting substantial transmission of the illness. The tier is the second-most restrictive in the state’s reopening guidelines.

      Coffee May Slow Spread of Colon Cancer

      Just a few cups of coffee a day may help slow down the deadly progression of advanced colon cancer, new research finds.

      Of the nearly 1,200 patients in the study, those who drank four or more cups of java on a daily basis had 36% higher odds of surviving during the 13-year study period.

      Metastatic colon cancer, which has spread from its original location, 'remains an incurable disease in most cases,' explained study co-lead author Christopher Mackintosh, a fourth-year medical student at the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine in Phoenix.
