When children there returned to school in October, large numbers of kids began getting sick, despite mandatory masking, more spacing between desks and other measures intended to reduce the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. But the vast majority of sick students did not have COVID-19. They were infected by rhinoviruses, i.e., the most common cause of the common cold. Researchers believe that the surge in illness was the consequence of children congregating after so many months of social distancing, which left them more susceptible to respiratory viruses. Body of Knowledge Your little finger contributes more than 50% of your hand's strength. Get Me That, Stat! The pandemic has plagued health care in myriad ways, not the least being its impact on regular health screenings. Case in point: Cervical cancer screenings have dramatically reduced illness and death, beginning with the introduction of the Pap test decades ago. But a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study of cervical cancer screenings in California during the COVID-19 stay-at-home order last spring showed screening rates plunged 80% across all demographics. Even after the order was lifted, rates remain 29% below 2019 levels.

Perishable Publications Many, if not most, published research papers have titles that defy comprehension. They use specialized jargon, complex words and opaque phrases like "nonlinear dynamics." Sometimes they don't, and yet they're still hard to figure out. Here's an actual title of actual published research study: "Experimental replication shows knives manufactured from frozen human feces do not work." The researchers wanted to test an old, well-known Inuit story of a man who, caught in a snowstorm, fashioned a knife from his own frozen poop and used it to butcher a dog. After producing the necessary materials, the researchers used metal files to shape various fecal blades and then attempted to carve up a pig hide. The result was an intact but messy pig hide.
