Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 10-01-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for October 1st, 2020.
Why does coronavirus hit some people so hard and others not? An international team of researchers is settling on one reason; in severe cases the body attacks one of its own immune defenses instead of attacking the virus. This happens mostly in men, which helps explain why they are often affected worse.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says wear the mask or get fined. This after the city saw a positivity rate of over 3% for the first time since June. Going maskless could cost someone up to $1,000.
British lawmakers renewed the government’s sweeping powers to impose emergency restrictions. Britain's death toll has passed 42,000 — the highest in Europe — and the country’s seeing a second spike in new cases. The powers must be renewed every six months.
With infections surging in the Midwest, some hospitals in Wisconsin and North Dakota are running out of room. A record number were hospitalized in Wisconsin. And in North Dakota, hospitals are adding extra space as employees express worry about capacity.
Fans will be allowed at the NL Championship Series and World Series in Arlington, Texas. About 28% of capacity will be sold. Sold seats will be spaced out, no seats will be sold in the first six rows, and masks are mandatory.
