LONDON (AP) — Some public health experts are criticizing the U.S. for securing a large supply of the only drug licensed so far to treat COVID-19. The U.S. government announced this week that it had an agreement with Gilead Sciences to make the bulk of their production of remdesivir available to Americans for the next three months. A senior lecturer at the University of Sussex called the U.S. agreement “disappointing news." Until now, the California-based Gilead had donated the drug. That ended Tuesday and Gilead has set the price for new shipments. Gilead is allowing generic makers to supply the drug to poor or middle-income countries at much lower prices. 672

Lockdown restrictions prevented an estimated an additional 60 million coronavirus infections in the U.S. alone, according to a study by the scientific journal "Nature."The article studied COVID-19 data in the U.S., China, South Korea, Italy, Iran and France. It determined that there would have been more than 500 million cases of the virus in those six countries alone without lockdown measures in place through early April.Authors said they could not think of any human endeavor that has saved so many lives in such a short period of time. Researchers did not speculate how many people would have died without lockdown restrictions.As of Tuesday, more than 7 million people worldwide had contracted the virus and more than 400,000 people had died. The U.S. continues to lead the world in both total infections (1.9 million) and deaths linked to the virus (111,000).The study comes weeks after researchers at Columbia determined that more than 36,000 lives could have been saved in the United States had officials enacted widespread lockdown restrictions just one week earlier. 1086

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The western Joshua tree needs protection under the California Endangered Species Act because of threats from climate change and habitat destruction, the Center for Biological Diversity said in a petition Tuesday to the state's Fish and Game Commission.The petition comes amid rising concern about the future of the crazy-limbed trees with spikey leaves that have come to symbolize the Mojave Desert and draw throngs to Joshua Tree National Park."The state has to step up for these trees," center conservation director Brendan Cummings said in a statement.The petition asks that western Joshua trees be given "threatened" status under the act.The request states that the trees meet the definition of a plant that "is likely to become an endangered species in the foreseeable future in the absence of the special protection and management efforts."Researchers have found that Joshua trees are dying off due to hotter and drier conditions, and fewer young trees are surviving, according to the center, a nonprofit conservation organization based in Tucson, Arizona.The trees are migrating to higher elevations where there are cooler and more moist conditions, but they face destruction by fire due to invasive, non-native grasses in those locations.Joshua trees also face challenges due to urban sprawl in the desert as well degradation of habitat for energy projects, powerlines, pipelines and off-road-vehicle use.The western Joshua tree's habitat includes Joshua Tree National Park and stretches to the west along the north slopes of the San Bernardino and San Gabriel mountain ranges into the Antelope Valley, northward along the eastern flank of the southern Sierra Nevada and eastward toward the edge of Death Valley National Park and into Nevada.The eastern Joshua tree — a distinctly different plant — lives in the Mojave National Preserve and eastward into Nevada, Arizona and Utah.The Center for Biological Diversity said that under the California Endangered Species Act, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife has three months to make a recommendation to the Fish and Game Commission, which would then vote on the petition next year. 2171

LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection says its officers at the Los Angeles-Long Beach ports complex recently seized more than 14,800 pairs of counterfeit Nike shoes in a shipment arriving from China.The agency says Wednesday that had the fake special edition and retro design shoes been real, the manufacturer's suggested retail prices would have totaled more than .2 million.The shoes were in two containers with contents declared as napkins.The agency says the shoes violated protected designs and trademarks for various versions of Nike's Air Jordan and Air Max shoes.Customs and Border Protection says collectors might pay between ,500 and ,000 for a legitimate pair of the shoes. 714

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - One of the suspects accused of killing an 84-year- old woman at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula is said to be the sister of newly signed Los Angeles Clippers star forward Kawhi Leonard, it was reported Saturday.On Aug. 31, Kimesha Monae Williams, 35, and Candace Tai Townsel, 39, allegedly followed Afaf Anis Assad of Long Beach into a bathroom, where the duo attacked and robbed her, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.An aunt of Williams told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that Williams and Leonard are siblings.John Hall, spokesman for the Riverside County District Attorney's Office, would not confirm the relationship to the newspaper.Assad was found unconscious on the bathroom floor and later died of her injuries at Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar.Sheriff's officials said Williams and Townsel stole Assad's purse, which contained 0 to ,200 inside."She didn't even get a chance to play," Assad's son-in-law told CBS2. "I mean, she had some money in her wallet because she was ready to play that day, and I don't know if they targeted her because she just walked through the door and they knew she had money in her wallet."Sgt. Steve Brosche said detectives obtained leads pointing to Williams and Townsell as the alleged assailants, and both were taken into custody -- Williams in Perris and Townsell in Hemet.Williams is being held without bail at the Indio Jail and Townsell is being held on million bail at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.Attempts to reach Leonard and the Clippers for comment were not immediately successful.Leonard attended Canyon Springs High School in Moreno Valley before graduating from Martin Luther King High School in Riverside.He was a All-American collegiate player at San Diego State, and a first-round National Basketball Association pick in 2011.The two-time Most Valuable Player of the NBA Finals was considered to be the top free-agent this off-season before signing in July a three-year, 3 million contract with the Clippers. 2057
