Sen. Jeff Merkley announced Tuesday that he is not running for President, telling supporters in a video that he will remain in the Senate after mulling a presidential bid for months.In a video that in many ways mimicked a presidential announcement, Merkley laid out his life story, described issues that he believes need to be tackled and outlined what could have been a rationale for a 2020 run. But the Oregon Democrat says in the video that he believes Democrats need leadership in the Oval Office and the Senate and that he believes he could be most effective in the legislative body."Over the last year, I've weighed whether I can contribute more to the battle by running for president or by running for reelection to the Senate," Merkley said. "Today, I am announcing that I am not running for president."Merkley did not endorse a candidate currently in the race and added, "I believe that there are Democrats now in the presidential race who are speaking to the importance of tackling the big challenges we face. But what I'm also sure of is that right now the Senate is not prepared to be a full partner in this fight."Instead of running for president, Merkley will now spend the next two years running for reelection in Oregon, a race that all nonpartisan handicappers rate as a seat safely in Democratic hands.Merkley, a Democrat representing Oregon since 2009, was the only US senator to endorse Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election over his rival, Hillary Clinton. Despite that support, Merkley said if Sanders was losing to Clinton after the primary season, he should end his presidential campaign and concede to Clinton.Merkley, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been a major critical voice of the Trump administration in the Senate, particularly its handling of immigration issues. In June, the senator made headlines when he was denied entry to a Texas immigration center for unaccompanied minors when he showed up and asked for a tour. He accused the administration of being part of a "cruel" effort against unauthorized immigrant children.In January he asked the FBI to open a perjury investigation into Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. The call came a day after he released a draft memo that shows the Trump administration was drafting a policy as early as December 2017 to separate families apprehended at the US southern border. The administration has repeatedly denied there was a policy to separate families, and Merkley said Nielsen made the same claim when she testified before Congress.Late last year, Merkley told ABC that his family had given him a "thumbs-up" to run for President, and that he would make a decision within the first three months of 2019. 2729

Janet Mills approved a bill on Wednesday permitting it.Once the new law takes effect, Maine will join seven other states and the District of Columbia in allowing medical aid in dying.The 322

Scans of the lungs of the sickest COVID-19 patients show distinctive patterns of infection, but so far those clues offer little help in predicting which patients will pull through. For now, doctors are relying on what’s called supportive care that’s standard for severe pneumonia.Doctors in areas still bracing for an onslaught of sick patients are scouring medical reports and hosting webinars with Chinese doctors to get the best advice on what works and what hasn’t.One thing that’s clear around the globe: Age makes a huge difference in survival. And one reason is that seniors’ lungs don’t have as much of what geriatrics expert Dr. Richard Baron calls reserve capacity.“At age 18, you have a lot of extra lung capacity you don’t use unless you’re running a marathon,” explained Baron, who heads the American Board of Internal Medicine. That capacity gradually declines with age even in otherwise healthy people, so “if you’re an old person, even a mild form can overwhelm your lungs if you don’t have enough reserve.”Here’s what scientists can say so far about treating those who become severely ill.HOW DOES COVID-19 HARM THE LUNGS?The new coronavirus, like most respiratory viruses, is spread by droplets from someone’s cough or sneeze. The vast majority of patients recover, most after experiencing mild or moderate symptoms such as fever and cough. But sometimes the virus makes its way deep into the lungs to cause pneumonia.Lungs contain grapelike clusters of tiny air sacs called alveoli. When you breathe, oxygen fills the sacs and passes straight into blood vessels that nestle alongside them. Pneumonia occurs when an infection -- of any sort, not just this new virus -- inflames the lungs’ sacs. In severe cases they fill with fluid, dead cells and other debris so oxygen can’t get through.If other countries have the same experience as China, about 5% of COVID-19 patients could become sick enough to require intensive careHOW DOES THAT DAMAGE APPEAR?Doctors at New York’s Mount Sinai Health System analyzed 121 chest CT scans shared by colleagues in China and spotted something unusual.Healthy lungs look mostly black on medical scans because they’re full of air. An early infection with bacterial pneumonia tends to show up as a white blotch in one section of one lung. Pneumonia caused by a virus can show up as hazy patches that go by a weird name -- “ground glass opacities.”In people who get COVID-19 pneumonia, that haze tends to cluster on the outside edge of both lungs, by the ribs, a distinctive pattern, said Dr. Adam Bernheim, a radiologist at Mount Sinai.As infection worsens, the haze forms rounder clusters and gradually turns more white as the air sacs become increasingly clogged.HOW TO TREAT THE PNEUMONIA?There are no drugs so far that directly attack the new coronavirus, although doctors are trying some experimentally, including an old malaria treatment and one under development to treat Ebola.“The best treatment we have is supportive care,” said Dr. Aimee Moulin, an emergency care physician at the University of California Davis Medical Center.That centers around assistance in breathing when the oxygen levels in patients’ blood starts to drop. For some people, oxygen delivered through a mask or tubes in the nose is enough. More severely ill patients will need a breathing machine.“The goal is to keep the person alive until the disease takes its course” and the lungs begin to heal, explained Mount Sinai’s Dr. Neil Schachter.The very worst cases develop an inflammatory condition called ARDS -- acute respiratory distress syndrome — that floods the lungs with fluid. That’s when the immune system’s attempt to fight infection “is going crazy and itself attacking the lung,” Baron explained.Many things besides the coronavirus can cause the condition, and regardless of the cause, it comes with a high risk of death.WHAT ELSE IS IMPACTED?Severe pneumonia of any sort can cause shock and other organ damage. But in a webinar last week, Chinese doctors told members of the American College of Cardiology to watch for some additional problems in severe COVID-19, especially in people with heart disease. The worst off may need blood thinners as their blood starts to abnormally clot, and the heart itself may sustain damage not just from lack of oxygen but from the inflammation engulfing the body.Another caution: The sickest patients can deteriorate rapidly, something a hospital in Kirkland, Washington, witnessed.Of 21 patients who needed critical care at Evergreen Hospital, 17 were moved into the ICU without 24 hours of hospital admission, doctors reported last week in the 4639

Sears, Macy's, Claire's, JCPenney. More and more recognizable names are disappearing from shopping malls around the country while experts have said the mall as we know it is dying, but they could be saved by Generation Z.“I’d say at least like once a week I try to go to the mall just to see what’s going on and what’s new, even if I don’t get anything, it's just really nice to try on clothing,” Erin Brod of Medina, Ohio, said.Brod and her best friend Lauren Romano are both 17. That makes them a part of Generation Z, or the group of people born between 1995 and 2010.And they’re the generation now being credited with maybe saving the malls.“I think 20-year-olds, they do more online shopping and it's still surprising that teenagers still come out to the mall and stuff and I know a lot of them are closing, but I still think teenagers enjoy trying stuff on more,” Romano said.The International Council of Shopping Centers has data to back that up.Between February and April of last year, 95 percent of Gen Zers went to a mall at least once, while only 75 percent of millennials and 58 percent of Gen Xers went during that same time period.And though experts say Gen Zers online shop too, there are a few reasons why they still like doing things the old-fashioned way.“One of the things for them is a sense of legitimacy, this idea that this is a legitimate place to order from online if they have a brick and mortar store. I want to know that I can go to either one to get what I need,” said Corey Seemiller, an associate professor at Wright State University and Gen Z expert.There’s also the need to see and touch.“Trying on is very important for me because you never know what it's going to really look like because the models online are totally different from what I look like,” Brod said.And save a buck in the process.“Discounts are very important and obviously help with your decision on what you choose to get,” Brod said.Now retailers are getting creative, offering in-store discounts through a medium most Gen Zers are already familiar with.“Forever 21 had one recently where you took a picture, put it on Instagram, showed it to them at the register, you’d get 21 percent off. A lot of retailers are taking advantage of the digital platforms available today,”said Ed Jaroszewicz, the marketing director of Southpark Mall in Strongsville, Ohio.And that’s what Gen Zers like Brod and Romano are looking for.“Great deals, customer service so when people are really helpful and they come up to you and ask if you need help with anything," Romano said. "That really makes a difference." 2609
