The US Food and Drug Administration has granted an emergency use authorization for an at-home Covid-19 test ki. The kit will be available as an over-the-counter item, and not require a prescription to purchase it. The LabCorp Pixel COVID-19 Test Home Collection Kit will be available to anyone 18 and older.

Positive or invalid results are delivered back to the consumer by phone or through a healthcare provider.
The covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech is one big step closer to the public. A group of outside experts assembled by the FDA largely voted to recommend the vaccine. The vaccine was recommended for emergency use in people ages 16 and older. The over eight-hour advisory committee meeting featured presentations and discussions. However, several members said they were uncomfortable recommending its use to people ages 16-17. The limited data available right now, according to Gizmodo.
The European Medicines Agency is the EU regulatory body responsible for COVID-19 vaccine approval. Now, Gizmodo reports a cyberattack on EMA's servers has produced an 'unlawful access' of documents related to a potential COVID-19 vaccine. The EMA’s own statement on the attacks doesn’t disclose much, but does confirm that the breach happened. However, pharma giant Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech, announced that some of their own documents were caught up in the breach. There’s a chance that this latest attack might push Pfizer/BioNTech's timeline for an EU regulatory review of its proposed vaccine back a bit.
Americans need to be prepared for the possibility that they may feel a little unwell. After you get a coronavirus vaccine, if one is authorized, you may experience some negative side effects. The CDC met to discuss whether to recommend the use of any Covid-19 vaccines. The US Food and Drug Administration or FDA is the agency that might authorize one. Volunteers in vaccine trials have reported they frequently feel flu-like effects after getting vaccinated. This could affect people's willingness to get vaccinated in the first place.
Pfizer’s experimental vaccine looks to be highly effective at preventing COVID-19. The effective rate sits right at 90% and there are no apparent safety problems, reports HuffPost. However, to be clear, this is all based on the company’s own preliminary data. The announcement got attention around the world, sending financial markets up on hopes. In the U.S., it set off an immediate political controversy regarding the Trump administration. Critics argued over how much credit if any Trump deserves for the apparent medical advancement.
Under his leadership, Bugatti has redefined modern day coachbuilding with the Divo, La Voiture Noire and Centodieci models. At the same time, the team expanded the Chiron family. Though technically very different, the Chiron Pur Sport and Chiron Super Sport6 hyper sports cars offer the maximum spread of the “Bugatti spectrum of performance”. In addition, the Chiron Super Sport 300+ became the first production car ever to break the 300-mph barrier in the summer of 2019. Having achieved a speed of 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h), the Chiron Super Sport 300+ is since considered the fastest production car in the world. With the Bolide, Bugatti developed the most uncompromising vehicle in its history at the end of 2020, which will be produced in a small series in 2024.
