You’ve probably heard the term viral shedding at some point during the covid-19 pandemic. Here’s what it actually looks like and what it means.

For those who are hoping for an end to the COVID-19 virus outbreak, there is some good news. This is because medical company Moderna has announced that they plan to expand its trial for its vaccine and wants to move to phase 2 of testing, assuming that regulators approve of their plans.
If you’re unfamiliar, Moderna was one of the first companies to announce that they were working on a potential vaccine for the COVID-19 virus. They were also one of the first to begin human trials, where it seems that initial results were promising enough for the company to suggest that it could potentially be used as emergency medication for frontliners as early as this fall.
According to Moderna, they have announced that they have submitted a new drug application to the FDA in which they are hoping to evaluate the effectiveness of the vaccine in a more extensive study that will include as many as 600 patients. This study will be split into two, where one group will be given a placebo, while the other will be given the vaccine candidate.
That being said, we should caution you against getting too excited. This is because the results from the first trial have yet to be revealed so it is unclear how successful they were, but presumably it might have been successful enough for Moderna to want to explore its effectiveness further. Other companies have been working on cures and vaccines, although some have yielded unintended and undesirable side-effects.

One of the problems with the Chromecast series of devices is that if you wanted to control playback, you would need to do so directly from the device you’re casting from. This includes your phone, tablet, or computer. However, if the recent rumors are to be believed, Google could have a new Chromecast Ultra in the works that comes with a remote control.
In fact, it seems that there is a chance that this device could be announced soon. This is because according to a report from MySmartPrice, they have discovered that a new Chromecast device has been spotted at Taiwan’s NCC (the country’s equivalent to the US FCC) where it has received its certification.
This means that the device has been approved for sale, hinting that maybe it could be announced soon. It was largely expected that the new Chromecast Ultra could be announced at Google I/O 2020, but with the event now being cancelled, it’s really anyone’s guess as to when the official launch could take place.
However, if it really was planned for I/O 2020, then maybe we can expect Google to announce something in coming weeks or the next month or so. Until then, take it with a grain of salt but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for more information.

If you’re looking for a way to track your sleep and to know how much sleep apnea is affecting the quality of your sleep, then you might be interested to learn that Withings has since announced its latest offering, the Withings Sleep Analyzer. This is a mat placed on your bed that has the ability to track your sleep.
According to Withings, it seems that the Sleep Analyzer has been tested over in Europe where it was trialed at hospitals in both France and Belgium. While the company admits that the Sleep Analyzer might not necessarily be as capable compared to proper clinical gear typically used to detect sleep apnea, it seems that the company is confident that it should still be good enough to get the job done.
It will be capable of measuring the user’s movements during their sleep, their heart rate, and their sleep cycle. The device, like most consumer-grade medical devices or health trackers like the Apple Watch, it is not necessarily designed to replace professional medical equipment or a diagnosis from a qualified physician.
However, if you do think that your quality of sleep is simply not what it used to be, then the Sleep Analyzer will be able to provide you with some data and feedback that you can then take to your doctor who might run further and more comprehensive tests on you. The Withings Sleep Analyzer will be priced at around 130 euros. There are plans to eventually sell it stateside, but it will require clearance from the FDA first.

Thanks to being on the US’ entity list, US companies have been barred from doing business with Huawei. The exception that the government has continually made at least allows those companies to support products that were already out in the market before the ban fell. Unsurprisingly, Huawei has found a small loophole that lets it launch a new product that … Continue reading
