The terror attack on New York City's West-Side bike path has President Trump calling for congress to eliminate the "Diversity Visa" program.Congress created it in 1990. It was signed into law by President George W. Bush.Among the San Diegans who are here because of the visa program is Anna Riazanova.In 1993, Riazanova, a native of Russia, entered the U.S. on a student visa and began studying to become a paralegal."I fell in love with the country, the people," said Riazanova.A year later, she applied for the Diversity Visa Lottery program, aimed at diversifying immigration by randomly selecting 50,000 green card applicants every year from countries with historically low U.S. immigration rates. 709

The U.S. reported 2,473 deaths caused by COVID-19 on Tuesday, the highest number of deaths linked to the virus in a single day since the height of the pandemic in May.According to the COVID Tracking Project, the nearly 2,500 deaths are the most the U.S. has seen since May 7 — the deadliest day of the pandemic thus far, when 2,769 COVID-19 deaths were reported.Tuesday also marked the sixth-deadliest day since the pandemic began.Deaths linked to COVID-19 have been on the rise since October — though the 7-day rolling average of deaths linked to the virus has dipped in recent days, likely due to a lack of reports from the Thanksgiving holiday. From Oct. 1 to Dec. 1, the 7-day average of reported COVID-19 deaths has more than doubled from 705 to 1,520. The rise in deaths mirrors a frightening rise in COVID-19 cases. According to the COVID Tracking Project, the U.S. has recorded at least 100,000 new cases of the virus every day since Nov. 3. Since that time, the rolling 7-day average of new cases has nearly doubled from about 85.000 a day to about 159,000 a day.And health experts expect deaths and caseloads to further increase in the coming weeks. Dr. Deborah Birx, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, says the U.S. finds itself in a "very dangerous place" following the Thanksgiving holiday. She says anyone who attended a Thanksgiving gathering last week should assume they are infected with COVID-19 and take appropriate precautions. With more than a million Americans boarding airplanes on Sunday alone following the Thanksgiving holiday, health experts fear cases will skyrocket in the coming days.They also expect hospitals — already overtaxed by current COVID-19 caseloads — to admit even more patients with the virus. Currently, the COVID Tracking Project reports that 99,000 Americans are hospitalized with the virus, forcing some facilities to institute overflow areas. 1925

The spread of COVID-19 is tough to trace and even tougher to predict, but researchers at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University created an early warning system to help protect you from the virusMathematics professor Po-Shen Loh developed an app called NOVID, a contact-tracing app, to help communities see the virus coming before they get infected.On top of creating a brand new app, Loh teaches math to middle-school students online from his own office-turned-broadcast studio. He’s also the national coach for the United States Math Olympiad team that competes around the world.But when the pandemic hit, Loh wanted to take on one more project. “I like things that are supposed to be impossible, that can’t be done,” said Loh. Stopping the spread of the coronavirus seemed to fit the bill.“The problem with COVID is it spreads before you know you have it, that’s what makes COVID different," Loh said. "The only way you can control this disease is in helping people to know whether or not COVID is coming close to them in advance."That’s where the NOVID app can help, said Loh. “Shows the virus coming towards you based on your relationship network, so that you can protect yourselves from others before you actually get infected," Loh explained of the app. "This is in contrast to most other contact tracing apps that are designed to protect others from you."The app shows you positive cases in degrees of separation. A positive case in the first degree would be someone you live with. The second degree could be your coworker or a friend. The third degree would be that person’s spouse or child. Each degree of separation is a possible pathway for you to come in contact with COVID-19.“This thing shows you the virus coming towards you, kind of like a hurricane satellite shows you a hurricane coming towards you,” said Loh.In addition to showing you cases as they pop up around you, the app can track the distance between phones down to the inch.It uses both Bluetooth and ultrasound waves to give you that measurement to make sure you’re safely social distancing.“We don’t know of any other contact-tracing app in the entire world which will tell you, ‘here’s how far away we think the device was,’” said Loh.The safety of your personal information is one of the most important features of this app. It collects data, while you stay completely anonymous.“Many people are distrustful of an app that does contact tracing,” said Loh. “We never ask for your phone number or email."Those who are positive can self-report their case in the app. Loh is also working with cities and counties to integrate NOVID into health departments across the country. He said the health departments would issue a ticket with a number to each person who tests positive for the virus.That person would enter the number into their NOVID app, anonymously reporting the positive case in the community.“If this thing actually caught on, you’d see in all the cities and towns, whether it’s rural or urban, whenever COVID starts to rise up, you’d start to see everyone take caution. Not because anyone forced them to, but because they saw this is what would be useful,” said Loh.To create the powerful community resource Loh is hoping for, he said more people need to know about the app.“Right now, we only respond when the intensive care units are full, and then it’s too late, and people die on the sidewalk. But, what we wish would happen, is that people could see it coming, and then, everyone starts to be careful at the right time. With more traction, we can save more lives,” he said.Loh is hoping he can not only help save lives but help bring back life as we knew it.“The goal of what we’re trying to do is to give people headlights to drive in the dark. Our app is not designed to let other people control you; our app is designed to help you control your life,” said Loh.For more information on NOVID or to download it, click HERE. 3928

The U.S. surpassed the 14 million mark in confirmed cases of COVID-19 Thursday and set new records in both daily recorded cases and daily deaths as the country delves deeper into the bleakest stretch of the pandemic.On Thursday alone, Johns Hopkins says that the U.S. reported 2,879 deaths linked to COVID-19, and 217,664 more people were confirmed to have contracted the virus.Thursday marked the second straight day that the U.S. set a record in daily reported deaths. According to Johns Hopkins, at least 2,500 people have died of COVID-19 in the last three days.Thursday also marked a new record in daily reported cases of the coronavirus and the third day in the last week that the U.S. had reported more than 200,000 cases.Finally, Thursday marked an entire month (from Nov. 3 to Dec. 3) of at least 100,000 new cases of COVID-19 each day. Between Oct. 30 and today, more than 5 million Americans have contracted COVID-19 — a figure that represents 36 percent of all cases that have been recorded since the pandemic began.And as dire as the situation is today, health experts only expect the virus to spread further in the coming days. Millions of people boarded an airplane to travel this weekend, and health experts say the spread that occurred during the Thanksgiving holiday is just now being recorded in tests.Deaths are also a lagging statistic, meaning those figures will likely rise in the coming weeks. And with many hospitals already at capacity — the COVID Tracking Project reports that an all-time high 100,000 Americans across the country are fighting the virus in a hospital — some health care facilities may be forced to turn patients away. 1673
