A woman in Singapore who had COVID-19 in March just gave birth to a baby. Surprisingly, the baby seems to have been born with antibodies, says Business Insider. These antibodies appear to be protective against the virus. Past research has suggested antibodies against COVID-19 cross the placenta in utero. Little is known about how long the immunity may last and how the timing of infection during pregnancy plays a role. Breast milk also has detectable antibodies and there's no evidence it transmits the virus.
World leaders met on Saturday to discuss preparation efforts to contain and alleviate the coronavirus pandemic in the next few months. Leaders from Germany, France, South Korea, and Argentina were scheduled to participate in the side event to the annual G20 gathering. According to Business Insider, the US has more than 11.9 million cases and 255,000 deaths from the highly contagious novel coronavirus. And despite making up the largest share of confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths in the world, noticeably absent was President Donald Trump. He went golfing, instead.
Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, revealed the name of a baby panda born at the Beauval zoo on August 4. Yuan Meng is the offspring of two adult pandas loaned to France by China in 2012 in a gesture of diplomatic friendship. IMAGES
Vets were hand-feeding the tiny Amur leopard baby at the Yalta Zoo, as the cub is still too young to open its eyes or even walk on four legs. Only 57 Amur leopards, which are listed as "Critically Endangered," are believed to live in the wild as of 2015. Despite the fact that Amur leopard numbers have roughly doubled since 2007, they are still the species of large felines most vulnerable to extinction.
