H1N1 FLU BREAKING NEWS: Campus activity steady, vaccine news
Mar 10, 2010College flu activity stays steadyThe nation’s colleges saw a very slight decrease in flu-like illnesses last week, but the attack rate stayed about the same as the previous 2 weeks, about 3 to 4 cases per 10,000 students, the American College Health Association (ACHA) reported today. So far the patterns don’t signal a third pandemic flu wave, even on a regional level. Two more hospitalizations were reported, and the vaccination level stayed the same, at about 8%.http://www.acha.org/ILI_Project/ILI_Surveillance.cfm/?date=031010Mar 10 ACHA surveillance reportIndia set to launch vaccine campaignIndia’s health ministry said the country will begin vaccinating its priority groups against the pandemic H1N1 virus next week, Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) reported today. Doctors and paramedics will be among the first to receive the vaccine. India has purchased 1.5 million doses from Sanofi and had asked the company to conduct a pandemic vaccine trial in India, which it has completed and sent to the ministry. Indian companies are also working on pandemic H1N1 vaccines.http://www.deccanherald.com/content/57311/india-likely-start-swine-flu.htmlMar 10 IANS storyStudy: 1976 vaccine may protect against novel H1N1A mouse study found that earlier infection with a 1976 classical swine H1N1 virus completely protected against the current pandemic virus, suggesting modern day benefits for those who received the 1976 swine flu vaccine, according to a study in Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses. Mice infected with either 2009 or 1940 seasonal H1N1 viruses showed partial protection, which might partly explain why older people seem to have some protection against the pandemic virus.http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123315764/abstractMar 8study abstract
Jun 18, 2010 (CIDRAP News) – An outbreak of 29 Salmonella serotype Chester cases in 14 states has prompted the recall of frozen chicken-and-rice dinners by ConAgra Foods, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced yesterday.ConAgra announced a “precautionary” recall of all Marie Callender’s brand Cheesy Chicken and Rice frozen meals now in commerce. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said eight case-patients recalled eating the product in April and May before they got sick. The last known illness was reported May 22.The illnesses had not been definitively tied to the frozen dinners as of yesterday. But today the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) said it had found Salmonella Chester, a rare strain, in an intact package of the recalled product from the home of a case-patient. “This package was purchased at the same time as a similar package that was consumed just prior to the case’s onset of illness,” the MDA said in a news release.The MDA said the outbreak involved 30 cases in 15 states, including 2 in Minnesota. Federal agencies had not released a list of the other affected states at this writing.The FSIS said an investigation by several federal and state agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is ongoing.The recalled product is in 13-ounce packages labeled “Marie Callender’s Cheesy Chicken & Rice White Meat Chicken and Broccoli over Rice Topped with Rich Cheddar Sauce,” the FSIS said. The packages have the establishment number “P-45″ inside the USDA mark of inspection.The products were distributed to retail stores nationwide. ConAgra advised consumers to discard the products or return them to the store for a refund.A ConAgra spokeswoman said many but not necessarily all of the ingredients in the recalled dinners were precooked.”Many of the meal components, including the chicken, are cooked by us during the manufacturing process. There may be some ingredients, such as vegetables, that are not cooked,” spokeswoman Teresa Paulsen told CIDRAP News.While advising consumers to discard the recalled products, the FSIS urged consumers to carefully follow cooking instruction for all frozen entrees. All ingredients should reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F, the agency said.A number of illness outbreaks in the past have been linked to frozen entrees that were not precooked or were only browned during processing. For example, two outbreaks totaling 29 cases in Minnesota in 2006 were linked to frozen, pre-browned chicken entrees. Officials said consumers, probably thinking they were precooked, likely didn’t cook them thoroughly.In other developments, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced today that the number of salmonellosis cases linked to Subway restaurants in the state has risen to 90. Patients have reported eating at Subway outlets in 28 counties, the agency said. Yesterday’s IDPH updated listed 86 cases in 26 counties. The outbreak strain, Salmonella Hvittingfoss, has not been found in any Subway food products.See also: Jun 17 FSIS statement on outbreak and recallhttp://www.fsis.usda.gov/News_&_Events/Recall_036_2010_Release/index.aspJun 17 ConAgra Foods press release about recallhttp://media.conagrafoods.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=97518&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1439629&highlight=Jun 18 MDA press releasehttp://www.mda.state.mn.us/en/news/releases/2010/nr-2010-06-18-recall.aspxIDPH page with Salmonella outbreak updatehttp://www.idph.state.il.us/Jul 21, 2006, CIDRAP News story on outbreak linked to frozen chicken entreeshttp://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/fs/food-disease/news/jul2106salmo.html
New Mexico Medicaid Director Nicole ComeauxSTATE News: SANTA FE – New Mexico’s Medicaid Program is now requiring managed care organizations to reimburse doctors, behavioral health providers and other health care professionals for telephone and video patient visits until the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency.Health care providers who consult with patients via telephone or computer video must be paid the same rate as if they’d seen the patient in person, according to a Letter of Direction from Medicaid Director Nicole Comeaux to the state’s managed care organizations, which cover about 680,000 New Mexicans in the state’s Medicaid program.Telemedicine is another way to prevent social contact and reduce the chances of spreading COVID-19.“It’s vitally important that Medicaid members – who make up almost half of all New Mexicans – have safe access to health care during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Comeaux said. “We are working closely with our provider networks to ensure they’re adequately supported, and we are also pursuing every federal option to secure reimbursements for providers who are delivering needed health care to New Mexicans in unconventional settings.”Superintendent of Insurance Russell Toal Superintendent of Insurance Russell Toal informed insurance companies that cover New Mexicans with private health insurance that they, too, are expected to cover telehealth services at the same rate they pay for in-person services and comply with mental health parity laws during this public health emergency.Mental health parity law requires health plans to cover mental health and addiction treatment services the same way they treat other medical services.“All New Mexicans should receive the same protections under their health insurance plans, regardless of the source of their health coverage,” Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said.The Medicaid program and the Office of the Superintendent have worked closely to align strategies to protect New Mexicans and their health care providers and to maximize access to needed health care services while practicing social distancing.Toal said behavioral health services are critically important during the public health emergency.“Our office has received complaints from patients who need behavioral health services, and we will enforce regulatory requirements that require mental health parity and access to telemedicine,” he said.The Medicaid Letter of Direction also requires managed care organizations to:Waive all prior authorizations for members to obtain COVID-19 testing and treatment services (including inpatient and outpatient), and to alert providers of this provision;Expand nurse advice lines to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the duration of the emergency if such functionality does not already exist;Coordinate with home care providers to ensure continued in-person services for those who need them while using telephone visits to the extent possible;Allow for replacement of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies when they are lost, destroyed, irreparably damaged or otherwise rendered unusable without the face-to-face requirement for obtaining a new physician’s order and new medical necessity documentation;Reimburse for prescriptions dispensed in amounts up to a 90-day supply (excluding controlled substances).The New Mexico Human Services Department is also waiving the maximum-supply requirement for maintenance drugs and relaxing restrictions on early medication refills as follows:30-day prescriptions may be refilled when the member has two weeks of medication on-hand, or what is allowed by the managed-care organization if less restrictive;90-day prescriptions may be refilled when the member has three weeks of medication on-hand, or what is allowed by the managed-care organization if less restrictive.

The agency reports that given the infectious nature of the virus it is likely other residents are infected but yet to be tested or confirmed positive. To that end, all New Mexicans have been instructed to stay home except for outings absolutely necessary for health, safety and welfare. These additional restrictions have been enacted to aggressively minimize person-to-person contact and ensure spread is mitigated. New Mexicans are strongly urged to limit travel to only what is necessary for health, safety and welfare.The New Mexico Department of Health has active investigations into the positive patients, which includes contact-tracing and swabs of symptomatic individuals who have had contact with the positive cases.Every New Mexican must work together to stem the spread of COVID-19. Get tested. Stay home, especially if you are sick. Wear a mask or face covering when in public and around others.New Mexicans who report symptoms of COVID-19 infection, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and/or loss of taste or smell should call their health care provider or the NMDOH COVID-19 hotline immediately (1-855-600-3453).Thanks to increased statewide testing capacity, the following people may now be considered for COVID-19 testing: Symptomatic people displaying the COVID-19 symptoms of cough, fever, shortness of breath, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and/or loss of taste or smell;Asymptomatic people who are close contacts or household members of New Mexico residents who have already tested positive for the coronavirus;Asymptomatic residents in nursing homes;Asymptomatic people in congregate settings such as homeless shelters, group homes, detention centers; andAsymptomatic people who are currently working.New Mexicans who have non-health-related questions or concerns can also call 833-551-0518 or visit newmexico.gov, which is being updated regularly as a one-stop source for information for families, workers and others affected by and seeking more information about COVID-19.
On Monday, during a meeting, members of the electoral body continued examining the modalities for the recount. GECOM will be moving ahead with the national recount of votes on its own accord after the Appeal Court ruled on Sunday that it should not allow outside forces to interfere with its constitutionally mandated responsibility.” “Along with the recount of the ballots, everything that is done at a polling station will be also be done during the counting. All of the issues of rejected ballots, all of those things will come up for review.” Regarding the roles of Returning Officers, Alexander said the commission has not decided whether or not they will be part of the process.

Local environmental organization Group for the East End unveiled the website for the New York State Wildlife Action Plan, the state’s comprehensive wildlife conservation strategy, at Hallock State Park Preserve in Jamesport last Thursday. The website, nyswap.org, serves as a conservation resource for the organization’s 45-year commitment to the protection and restoration of local wildlife populations.The site provides information on more than 50 high priority Long Island wildlife species deemed to be in imminent need of conservation action. It also offers visitors details on where to see wildlife and learn more about it, how to manage property to enhance its value to wildlife, who to contact upon finding injured animals, and some helpful “dos and don’ts” about interacting with wild animals.“Once we read the SWAP plan and consulted with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, we felt an obligation to raise awareness about the plight of our local wildlife and educate others about the issue,” said Bob DeLuca, Group for the East End president.“More importantly, we are working to teach others what they can do to help restore the local wildlife populations that enrich our lives and, in many cases, have substantial economic value for our region,” DeLuca added.Visitors to the site will also find current case studies of ongoing species restoration projects and campaigns including Plum Island preservation, shorebird and osprey monitoring, and the restoration of Long Island’s river otter population, which was once believed to be locally extinct.In attendance at the unveiling were GEE’s Aaron Virgin, Senator Kenneth LaValle, Assemblyman Fred Thiele, NYS DEC’s regional director Carrie Gallagher, Atlantic Marine Conservation Society founder Robert DiGiovanni, and Mike Bottini of Long Island Nature Organization.“This is a good time to get the public engaged and involved,” said Senator LaValle. “When we look at our habitat, it is constantly being challenged. I think it’s critically important for our young people to start getting involved, and I think today the general public is more into protecting the habitat.”“What we need to keep in mind is that these lands and waters are, thankfully, not sterile, and we’re not the only ones occupying them,” said Assemblyman Thiele. “Part of the richness of life out here is the wildlife that we enjoy. The fact is, knowledge and information are power. In providing information to the public about the fact that we do have a wildlife action plan, and species and animals that we take for granted that are a part of our lives every day but are endangered, they will be with us to help protect those species.”The site was developed over the course of nearly two years with the help of the Long Island Community Foundation, a nonprofit, charitable organization that connects donors with charitable groups and research assistance provided by interns from Dartmouth College and George Washington Universities.“One goal is effectively communicating with all audiences regarding conservation of these species, to inform the public, and engage the conservation community,” said Gallagher. “What better tool? We haven’t had the ability to do that at the DEC, but now we have a partner who has taken on that responsibility. This is going to make sure the information is going to be communicated effectively.”GEE launched this site to serve as a conduit to engage more Long Islanders in the effort to protect and restore native wildlife populations, including many fish and shellfish.“In all my years of doing stranding response, I have responded to over 4500 animals, and I’ve never been the person to call one in,” said DiGiovanni. “The public has always done that. This is a great tool for the public to understand what to do, and what not to do. That’s a big part of why Atlantic Marine Conservation Society was formed; we wanted to engage the public in their backyards and in their community.”For more information about the New York State Wildlife Action Plan, visit nyswap.org.

City professionals are a priority target for the Financial Services Authority in its battle against insider dealing, the watchdog said this week.The FSA has begun insider dealing prosecutions against two lawyers who had worked in the London offices of US law firms.According to court papers, Andrew Rimmington, formerly a partner at Dorsey & Whitney, and Michael McFall, formerly a partner at McDermott Will & Emery, are accused of insider dealing when pharmaceutical company NeuTec Pharma was taken over by Novartis in 2006.Dorsey and McDermott said they did not provide legal advice on the takeover.Rimmington and McFall will appear before London magistrates on 16 June, along with Peter King, former finance director at NeuTec.An FSA spokeswoman said: ‘Our current strategy on insider dealing focuses on our priorities in this area which are City professionals, repeat offenders and insider dealing rings.’
