TAMPA, Fla. — Air conditioning units may be contributing to the spread of COVID-19, especially in the southern part of the United States, according to a Harvard epidemiologist.Dr. Edward Nardell is a professor in the Departments of Environmental Health and Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He's done in-depth research on how air conditioning units contribute to the spread of airborne infections.Nardell said air conditioning can help airborne viruses spread in three ways.First, people go inside to cool down, when you are much safer outdoors, Nardell said. Now, we're seeing more people indoors because of the high heat and humidity, specifically in the southern states like Florida.The second problem is that air conditioning brings in very little outside air, according to Nardell. While this isn't a major problem inside your own home, it can be especially problematic in corporate settings."It just isn't economically possible to bring in outside air, recirculate it and dehumidify it," he said.Lastly, he said when people are indoors, you're often not spaced out safely as you would be outdoors."You are not socially distanced as much, but you're re-breathing the same air that someone else just exhaled," Nardell said. "We call it rebreathed air fraction, and if someone is infectious, often asymptomatic, you're going to be rebreathing their small particles."Nardell also said air conditioning units can generate air currents that can carry large particles even further, similar to what researchers found contributed to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease in an air-conditioned restaurant in Guangzhou, China, involving three family clusters.On the Department of Homeland Security's website, this tool can be used to estimate how long the virus would be expected to remain stable while airborne.Now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending restaurants increasing the distance between tables and improving ventilation.The use of germicidal lamps, a technology that Nardell said is almost 100 years old, has been proven effective in protecting against tuberculosis infection and is already in use in some settings to fight COVID-19.The lamps are set up to shine horizontally, high in the room where sterilization is needed. Air currents, stirred in part by warmth from human bodies, circulate up to the ceiling, where the ultraviolet light kills floating pathogens, and then back down again.This technology, Nardell said, is not only proven, but it can also be deployed cheaply and easily in a number of settings as society reopens.This story was originally published by Lauren Rozyla at WFTS. 2691

TAMPA, Florida — Police said they got a big win Friday night after they were able to arrest a man wanted in connection to installing credit card skimming devices across the Tampa Bay area.Police on scene told ABC Action News they were able to take the skimmer into evidence after a customer at the Chase Bank at 2001 N. Dale Mabry pulled it off the drive-up ATM while getting cash out.That customer flagged an officer down and showed him the skimmer. What that customer didn’t know is that undercover officers were already in pursuit of the man. Officers on scene say he was wanted by multiple agencies.The man, who has been identified as Yanier Manso Caballero from Hialeah, ditched his black Mercedes in the McDonald’s parking lot next to the bank, kicked off his flip flops, and took off running as officers tried to make an arrest.The police helicopter was able to lead K-9 officers to a heat signature of a man inside a shed on West Cherry Street, about a quarter mile away from the bank. The man was taken into custody a short time later.The customer that found the skimmer told officers on scene that he saw at least two other customers get cash out before he found the skimming device. There is no information, at this point, about how long the device might have been on the ATM. 1305

Technology is constantly evolving, and often times, it makes things more convenient.Charley Sullivan uses smart technology a lot, specifically her Amazon Echo.The Echo’s virtual assistant, Alexa, will read Charley’s emails aloud to her, check the weather and more.She thought it’d be a great gift for her husband, Bobby, but he knew she’d enjoy it more.“I knew how much she was going to use that thing,” he says. “I mean, she uses it to read her bible listened to radio programs; she plays games on it.” Amazon’s Alexa has brought convenience to homes everywhere, by playing music, checking the news, ordering groceries and more. But it’s especially helpful when you can't see.Both Charley and Bobby are blind.“Well, it's so wonderful,” Charley says of the device. “And when I was a child, we had braille, and we had books on records.”Now, the two are using Alexa, along cell phones and an Apple watch to make life easier.While they wish the technology could do even more, the two are grateful.“If you are going to be blind, this is the time, the day and time to be blind, with all the technology that there is out there today,” Charley says. 1155

Steven Bochco, a producer whose boundary-pushing series like "Hill Street Blues" and "NYPD Blue" helped define the modern TV drama, died Sunday after a battle with leukemia. He was 74.Bochco died Sunday morning at home, surrounded by family, according to Phillip Arnold, Bochco's personal assistant.Bochco co-created several of TV's most popular programs, while his large ensemble casts and ambitious storytelling set a benchmark beginning in the early 1980s that he refined and built upon for more than 30 years. Bochco also consciously set out to establish new, more permissive standards for broadcast television with "NYPD Blue," meticulously negotiating what was acceptable in terms of language and nudity with then-ABC Entertainment chief (and now CEO of the Walt Disney Co.) Robert Iger, even drawing naked figures to help set the ground rules. 858

The average debt among undergraduate students with loans in the class of 2019 is ,950, according to a new report from The Institute of College Access and Success, a nonprofit focused on higher education research and advocacy.That debt marks a slight decrease from ,200 for the class of 2018. The percentage of students in the class of 2019 who took out loans also dropped compared with 2018, from 65% to 62%.Debbie Cochrane, executive vice president of TICAS, says these shifts align with a general flattening of debt levels in recent years, due in part to increased state investment in higher education. But this trend and that funding could end due to the economic effects of COVID-19.“These students graduated in 2019,” Cochrane says. “We’re now in the middle of an economic and health crisis that puts all those gains in jeopardy.”Average student debt over timeAverage student debt growth has slowed, but indebtedness has increased substantially since TICAS issued its initial report on the subject 15 years ago.“What’s clear is that despite the flattening in recent years, debt has not been flat in the longer period,” Cochrane says.In 2004, the average student debt was ,550 — roughly 56% less than it is for the class of 2019. TICAS says inflation was 36% over the same period of time.Average debt has increased even faster in some states. For example, TICAS found that debt among graduates in New Jersey has grown 107% since 2004, rising from ,223 to ,566.The pandemic will likely accelerate this growth.“Students who are still in college or considering college now have frequently seen their family’s ability to pay for school change dramatically because of the economic crisis,” Cochrane says.She says it’s unclear what policymakers will do to support these students.Managing federal student debtRelief is available to most federal loan borrowers, as their payments are suspended interest-free through Dec. 31.But once payments restart, if you owed the average debt of ,950, your monthly bills would be roughly 0, assuming an interest rate of 4.5% and a 10-year repayment term.That may be difficult to afford if you’re facing an economic hardship.You could continue to pause payments, but pay interest for doing so. A better long-term solution is enrolling in an income-driven repayment plan.“Income-driven plans usually can fit someone’s budget,” says Betsy Mayotte, president and founder of the nonprofit Institute of Student Loan Advisors.These plans set federal loan payments at a percentage of your discretionary income, typically 10%. Monthly payments can be <云转化_句子> if you earn below a certain amount.Options for private loan borrowersRoughly 16% of graduates in the class of 2019 have nonfederal loans, according to TICAS. If you’re among them, contact your lender immediately if you can’t afford payments.“I wouldn’t call after your first bill is due,” Mayotte says. “I would call before that and let them know you’re struggling.”She says you may be able to pause payments or make interest-only payments temporarily. You could also ask your co-signer for help, if you used one.Another option would be refinancing private loans at a lower rate. But you or a co-signer will need steady income and a credit score in at least the high 600s to qualify.For example, refinancing ,950 from 4.5% to 3.5% would reduce your monthly bill by and save you ,652 over a 10-year term. If you needed more wiggle room in your budget, you could refinance to a 15-year term to lower your payments by — but you’d pay ,249 more overall as a result.Use a student loan refinance calculator to help find the right repayment terms for you.If you have federal student loans, don’t refinance them until at least the payment suspension ends. Refinancing costs you access to that payment pause and other government programs like income-driven plans.More From NerdWallet2020 Student Loan Debt StatisticsIncome-Driven Repayment: Is It Right for You?How to Get Student Loan Relief During the Coronavirus and BeyondRyan Lane is a writer at NerdWallet.
