Idaho’s move to crisis standards of care this week is allowing some hospitals to ration health care amid an onslaught of coronavirus patients and officials are warning the the rationing could spread to hospitals statewide.

Five cases of the COVID-19 ‘mu’ variant have been discovered in Dallas County, officials said.

He spent three days in the hospital after contracting the virus, despite being fully vaccinated.

According to the study, the risk of infection after all passengers tested negative 72 hours in advance of the flight was less than 0.1 percent.

With Houston-area hospitals still experiencing an influx of COVID-19 patients and feeling beyond overwhelmed, nursing schools tell FOX 26 they're seeing a mix of students either stepping up or changing careers altogether.

Some who have been infected with COVID-19 and later received a vaccine may develop a powerful “hybrid” immunity to the virus, research suggests.

Last week, the World Health Organization identified the mu variant as a new variant of interest. The delta variant is classified as a variant of concern.

The move came as the state's confirmed coronavirus cases skyrocketed in recent weeks. Idaho has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the U.S.

In August 2021 alone, there were a total of 459 calls for ivermectin poisoning made to call centers across the country, which is a significant increase compared to the 58 calls made in the same month last year.

More than 40 million COVID-19 cases have been reported in the U.S. since the start of the global pandemic, and more than 646,000 have died.

An Ohio judge ruled this week that a hospital cannot be forced to treat a severely ill COVID-19 patient with ivermectin, reversing an earlier decision.

A new study of breakthrough COVID-19 infections suggests fully vaccinated people are half as likely to develop long-term COVID-19 symptoms.
