Si hay una cara de la autoridad científica en los Estados Unidos en medio del caos de COVID-19, es Dr. Anthony Fauci. El Dr. Fauci, uno de los principales investigadores de VIH / SIDA del mundo, se desempeñó en su puesto como director del Instituto Nacional de Alergias y Enfermedades Infecciosas desde 1984, ayudando a dirigir la respuesta federal a enfermedades virales como el SARS, MERS, el Ébola y ahora el COVID. -19.
Hoy a las 4 p.m. Pacífico Mark Zuckerberg está hablando en vivo con el Dr. Fauci para discutir los pasos que la gente común puede tomar para ayudar a combatir la propagación de COVID-19. Para ver la conversación, dirígete a La página de Facebook de Zuckerberg.
Watch Live: el Dr. Anthony Fauci, el principal experto en enfermedades infecciosas de EE. UU., Habla con Mark Zuckerberg sobre lo que podemos hacer para ayudar a combatir la propagación del coronavirus (COVID-19): https://t.co/CvWOuqi6NA
Vive con el Dr. Anthony Fauci, el principal experto en enfermedades infecciosas de EE. UU., Para conocer lo que todos podemos hacer para combatir la propagación del coronavirus (COVID-19).
La conversación es parte del impulso reciente de Facebook para poner información COVID-19 de las autoridades sanitarias establecidas al frente y en el centro en la plataforma en un esfuerzo por obtener buena información en manos de los usuarios mientras se mitiga la información errónea potencialmente peligrosa que podría empeorar los resultados a medida que el nuevo coronavirus se propaga por todo el mundo.

Un portavoz de Breton nos dijo que la Comisión está invitando a las plataformas de transmisión a seguir el ejemplo de los proveedores de telecomunicaciones y considerar adaptar el rendimiento de la transmisión de video, como pasar temporalmente a la transmisión SD en lugar de HD, al menos para las horas de trabajo más críticas.
norte
En la llamada de Breton con Netflix, se discutieron una serie de posibles medidas, según el portavoz, incluido un cambio automático a la definición estándar durante los picos de las actividades de Internet en geografías impactadas, que según la Comisión representa una "opción responsable", que ayudará a asegurar las infraestructuras de telecomunicaciones mientras "sigue ofreciendo el mejor servicio a usuarios y consumidores, sin interrupciones".
norte
Añadió que muchos proveedores de contenido y aplicaciones ya están aplicando este tipo de medida de flexibilidad.
norte
La Comisión también está pidiendo a los operadores de telecomunicaciones que brindan servicios de Internet que tomen medidas para prevenir y mitigar los impactos de la inminente congestión de la red, invitándolos a hacer uso de las "posibilidades" ofrecidas por Reglas de neutralidad de la red de la UE.
norte
A principios de esta semana Vodafone informó un aumento del 50% en el tráfico de Internet en algunos países europeos debido a que decenas de personas iniciaron sesión desde su casa. u201cCovid-19 ya está teniendo un impacto significativo en nuestros servicios y colocando una mayor demanda en nuestra red, u201d dijo la compañía en un comunicado, agregando que: u201cDeberíamos esperar que esta tendencia de crecimiento de datos continúe ".
norte
Al mismo tiempo, la Comisión pide a los usuarios de Internet en la región que hagan un uso responsable de las actividades recreativas en línea, como optar por configuraciones que reducen el consumo de datos, incluido el uso de Wi-Fi (en lugar de datos móviles) y elegir una resolución más baja para contenido siempre que sea posible.
norte
Quiere una acción conjunta de todas las partes interesadas para aliviar la presión sobre la infraestructura y facilitar el trabajo remoto y la educación en línea en un momento de crisis de salud pública en toda la región.
norte
En un comunicado, Breton agregó: u201c Europa y el mundo entero se enfrentan a una situación sin precedentes. Los gobiernos han tomado medidas para reducir las interacciones sociales para contener la propagación de Covid-19 y alentar el trabajo remoto y la educación en línea. Plataformas de transmisión, operadores de telecomunicaciones y usuarios, todos tenemos la responsabilidad conjunta de tomar medidas para garantizar el buen funcionamiento de Internet durante la batalla contra la propagación del virus ".
norte
No está claro exactamente qué margen de maniobra prevé la Comisión en las normas de neutralidad de la red de la UE para priorizar ciertos tipos de tráfico sobre otros durante la crisis del coronavirus.
norte
Le pedimos al portavoz de Breton que aclarara este punto, pero respondió enfatizando que la Comisión espera evitar ese escenario, y nos dijo: “Al pedir responsabilidad a todos los interesados u2019 (plataformas / telcos / usuarios) somos proactivos garantizar el buen funcionamiento de Internet para que no sea necesario plantear la cuestión de la priorización ".
norte
También nos comunicamos con Netflix para preguntar qué pasos está tomando para ayudar a administrar la demanda de ancho de banda en la región. Al momento de escribir esto, la compañía no había respondido.
norte
El portavoz de Breton dijo que el comisionado debe realizar una llamada de seguimiento con Hastings en los próximos días.
norte
En términos más generales, la Comisión está trabajando en la creación de un mecanismo de información para garantizar un seguimiento regular de la situación del tráfico de Internet en cada Estado miembro a fin de poder responder rápidamente a los problemas de capacidad, en contacto con el Cuerpo de Reguladores Europeos de Comunicaciones Electrónicas y con el apoyo de las autoridades reguladoras nacionales.
norte
También nos hemos puesto en contacto con YouTube para comentar sobre el llamado de la Comisión a la acción proactiva de las plataformas de transmisión para ayudar a gestionar la mayor demanda de infraestructura de Internet.

La Comisión Europea está presionando a Netflix y otras plataformas de transmisión para que cambien a la definición estándar durante los períodos de mayor demanda, ya que la crisis del coronavirus ejerce una carga sin precedentes en la infraestructura de Internet.

NOSOTROS. Administración de Alimentos y Drogas El comisionado Stephen Hahn abordó el trabajo en curso de la agencia en términos de su trabajo sobre posibles tratamientos y vacunas para el coronavirus COVID-19 que actualmente se está extendiendo a nivel mundial. A pesar de que el presidente Donald Trump informó el jueves temprano en la Casa Blanca sobre la pandemia de que un tratamiento propuesto, la cloroquina antipalúdica, ya había sido aprobado por la FDA para el tratamiento con COVID-19, Hahn dijo que, de hecho, la agencia está estudiando actualmente ensayos clínicos generalizados del medicamento, pero aún no está aprobado para ese uso.
norte
"A corto plazo, estamos analizando medicamentos que ya están aprobados para otras indicaciones", dijo el Dr. Hahn. “Muchos estadounidenses han leído estudios y escuchado informes de los medios sobre este medicamento, la cloroquina, que es un medicamento contra la malaria. Ya está aprobado, como dijo el presidente, para el tratamiento de la malaria (Trump no había dicho esto, sino que había dicho que ahora estaba aprobado para COVID-19), así como una afección de artritis. Ese es un medicamento que el presidente nos ha ordenado que analicemos más de cerca, en cuanto a si se podría hacer un enfoque de uso ampliado para ver si eso realmente beneficia a los pacientes. Y nuevamente, queremos hacer eso en el contexto de un ensayo clínico, un gran ensayo clínico pragmático para realmente recopilar esa información y responder a la pregunta que debe responderse ".
norte
Trump también citó otro tratamiento potencial que ha mostrado signos de posible efecto positivo, remdesivir, como una aprobación muy "cercana" para su uso por parte de la FDA. Hahn aclaró que, de hecho, si bien remdesivir se encuentra actualmente en ensayos clínicos, sigue el proceso normal de la FDA para su aprobación para uso terapéutico médico clínico en los EE. UU. Se negó a comentar sobre los acuerdos comerciales en curso con el fabricante de remdesivir Gilead cuando se le preguntó cuándo podríamos esperar el medicamento estar disponible comercialmente
norte
Hahn también destacó otra posibilidad de tratamiento experimental que la FDA está investigando: usar plasma derivado de la sangre extraída de pacientes con coronavirus que se han recuperado e inyectarlo en otros pacientes en un intento de iniciar potencialmente su propia respuesta inmune.
norte
"Hay un esfuerzo entre agencias sobre algo llamado plasma convaleciente", dijo. “Esta es un área bastante emocionante. Y nuevamente, esto es algo con lo que hemos brindado asistencia a otros países a medida que esta crisis se ha desarrollado, por lo que la FDA ha estado trabajando durante algún tiempo en esto. Si ha estado expuesto al coronavirus y está mejor, no tiene el virus en la sangre. Podríamos recoger la sangre ahora, este es un posible tratamiento. This is not a proven treatment, I just want to emphasize that, (but we would) collect the blood, concentrate that and have the ability, once it’s pathogen-free, that is virus-free, be able to give that to other patients and the immunoglobulins, the immune response could potentially provide a benefit to patients.”
n
All of the treatments currently approved for use by the FDA to treat other ailments are available to medical professionals in case of “compassionate use,” Hahn said. This provision allows a practitioner to use these medications on COVID-19 patients, even though they aren’t technically cleared specifically to do so, in extreme cases. The benefit of this compassionate use model is that doctors who take advantage of that are then required to share all patient info regarding administration and response to the drug, which helps inform ongoing trials and regulatory efforts.
n
Numerous clinical studies have been conducted globally regarding the performance of chloroquine and remdesivir since the beginning of the pandemic. Most recently a French study that included use of a chloroquine variant called hydroxychloroquine found that it performed particularly well in tandem with an antibiotic known as azithromycin. Still, Hahn said that even if a drug is already approved for other use, it’s crucial for the safe deployment of any therapeutic treatment that researchers determine the right dose to protect a patient’s health.

It was, it seems, only a matter of time before something like this happened.

The text, obtained by The Atlantic reads, u201cWeu2019re writing to let you know that a positive case of the coronavirus (COVID-19) was found at our facility today.u201d

And then there’s the matter of those who are largely asymptomatic.u00a0
n
Weu2019ve reached out to Amazon to comment on the incident. The company noted in the text that workers at the DBK1 facility were sent home, while the sorting facility was disinfected. Amazon has denied reports that, while day shift workers were sent home, those on the night shift were still expected to come in.

In spite of the companyu2019s massive footprint, Amazon has been forced to limit certain shipments, including non-essentials through its Fulfillment by Amazon program, along with the temporary pausing of shipments from Prime Pantry.

A new study whose results were published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents has found early evidence that the combination of hydroxychloroquine, a popular anti-malaria drug known under the trade name Plaqenuil, and antibiotic azithromycin (aka Zithromax or Azithrocin) could be especially effective in treating the COVID-19 coronavirus and reducing the duration of the virus in patients.
n
The researchers performed a study on 30 confirmed COVID-19 patients, treating each with either hydroxychloroquine on its own, a combination of the medicine with the antibiotic, as well as a control group that received neither. The study was conducted after reports from treatment of Chinese patients indicated that this particular combo had efficacy in shortening the duration of infection in patients.
n
The patient mix included in the study included six who showed no symptoms whatsoever, as well as 22 who had symptoms in their upper respiratory tract (things like sneezing, headaches and sore throats, and eight who showed lower respiratory tract symptoms (mostly coughing). 20 of the 30 participants in the study received treatment, and the results showed that while hydroxycholoroquine was effective on its own as a treatment, when combined with azithromycin it was even more effective, and by a significant margin.
n
n
These results represent a limited study with a small number of patients, but they are promising, especially when combined with earlier reports from patients in China with the same treatment options. Researchers globally are testing a number of potential treatments, including a range of drugs used previously in the efforts to combat Ebola, SARS, HIV and other global outbreaks.
n
There are no confirmed effective treatments specifically for COVID-19 to date, but regulators and medical researchers everywhere are working hard to get through the process of testing and approvals in search of something that can at least reduce the duration or severity of symptoms in patents. Vaccine development is also underway, but any approved and effective COVID-19 vaccine is at least 12-18 months away, even with resources redirected towards developing one as fast as is safety possible.

Everyone knows that press features donu2019t drive sustainable traffic. But they still matter for one simple reason: sales requires trust. Trust is transitive. And the press is trusted.
n
Press features validate the legitimacy of a company, lend it authority, and ultimately lead others to trust it more.
n
Iu2019ve seen this first hand, having gone from being an unknown outsider to becoming the most popular expert in the world in my space u2014 contributing articles to 14 publications and driving more than 37,000 prospective customers per month to my blog.
n
In this article, youu2019ll learn the steps I took over the last year to go from being unknown to expert, and how this strategy has helped me open doors and close deals. All from this simple strategy that I used to build my own authority in the industry and leverage the press that people trusted to build authority and build SEO.
n
I initially discovered this strategy out of frustration. The businesses that I was selling to didnu2019t trust me because I was an outsider. I didnu2019t have credibility in my industry. I didnu2019t have status symbols people associate with trustworthiness.
n
In fact, I had the opposite. I dropped out of high school in 10th grade. I never went to college. I had never worked for a big company. And our customers in the early days were a few small independents. So people didnu2019t trust me enough to trust that my technology would work for them. Iu2019d often be denied sales opportunities as a result.
n
The question was, how could I turn that around and become trusted before the sales process begins? Because that, I suspected, was how I could start closing more deals. This strategy was my solution to those repeated frustrations and it has since lead to deals with billion-dollar brands and small brands alike. It even impressed people who ended up backing my company.

As organizers cancel events with massive attendance, like SXSW (400,000 attendees), E3 (66,000), GDC (65,000) and Mobile World Congress (100,000), mobile game developers have felt the crunch. At a show like SXSW, larger developers can spend more than $135,000 just to secure some real estate.
n
Despite the steep cost, if you’re a developer, these events can prove worthwhile for building awareness, buzz and customer downloads. Real-time feedback from attendees, the ability to sign up users for beta campaigns, opportunities for bolstering subsequent email marketing and the prestige of having your app live side-by-side with games produced by larger studios are unique qualities.
n
It remains unclear if and how developers that made investments will recover costs such as those for onsite promotion, print advertising, staff for booths and restaurant reservations. Equally, if not more important though, is the added layer of opportunity cost for developers, especially those who sought to use these events to launch something new.
n
How important are launch moments for game developers? During the Game Developers Conference 2019, a new port of Cuphead for Nintendo Switch was announced. Per Google Trends, web searches for the game reached their second-highest point of the year during the event (March 20th), only behind search volume of the gameu2019s release a month later, in April 2019.
n
Large developers can come out unscathed from a trade show cancellation and simply kick the launch moment to their next big tentpole event. But for smaller app or game developers that canu2019t wait another six months for their launch moment, they need to do something.
n
Here are five ways to salvage a launch lost to a trade show cancellation.

Hello and welcome back to our regular morning look at private companies, public markets and the gray space in between.
n
Today we’re taking a look at the world of esports venture capital investment, largely through the lens of preliminary data that we’ll caveat given how reported VC data lags reality. That phenomenon is likely doubly true in the current moment, as COVID-19 absorbs all news cycles and some venture rounds’ announcements are delayed even more than usual.
n
All the same, the data we do have paints a picture of a change in esports venture investment, one sufficient in size to indicate that an esports VC slowdown could be afoot. As with all early looks, we’re extending ourselves to reach a conclusion. But… no risk, no reward.
n
We’ll start by looking at Q1 2020 esports venture totals to date, compare them to year-ago results, and then peek at Q4 2019’s results and its year-ago comparison to get a handle on what else has happened lately in the niche. The picture that the quarters draw will help us understand how esports investing is starting a year that isn’t going as anyone expected.
n
Venture results
n
Today we’re using Crunchbase data, looking at both global and U.S.-specific venture totals in both round and dollar volume. To get a picture of the competitive gaming world, we’re examining investments into companies that are tagged as “esports” related in the Crunchbase database. Given that this is a somewhat wide cut, the data below is more directional than precise and should be treated as such.

Even with an expected decline in Q1 2020 venture round and venture dollar results due to lag, the most recent venture data looks grim.

Everyone knows that press features donu2019t drive sustainable traffic. But they still matter for one simple reason: sales requires trust. Trust is transitive. And the press is trusted.
n
Press features validate the legitimacy of a company, lend it authority, and ultimately lead others to trust it more.
n
Iu2019ve seen this first hand, having gone from being an unknown outsider to becoming the most popular expert in the world in my space u2014 contributing articles to 14 publications and driving more than 37,000 prospective customers per month to my blog.
n
In this article, youu2019ll learn the steps I took over the last year to go from being unknown to expert, and how this strategy has helped me open doors and close deals. All from this simple strategy that I used to build my own authority in the industry and leverage the press that people trusted to build authority and build SEO.
n
I initially discovered this strategy out of frustration. The businesses that I was selling to didnu2019t trust me because I was an outsider. I didnu2019t have credibility in my industry. I didnu2019t have status symbols people associate with trustworthiness.
n
In fact, I had the opposite. I dropped out of high school in 10th grade. I never went to college. I had never worked for a big company. And our customers in the early days were a few small independents. So people didnu2019t trust me enough to trust that my technology would work for them. Iu2019d often be denied sales opportunities as a result.
n
The question was, how could I turn that around and become trusted before the sales process begins? Because that, I suspected, was how I could start closing more deals. This strategy was my solution to those repeated frustrations and it has since lead to deals with billion-dollar brands and small brands alike. It even impressed people who ended up backing my company.

nn
(Disclosures: Josh Constine temporarily advised a college friend's social location-sharing startup codenamed 'Signal' that was based in San Francisco before dissolving in 2015. This advising role was cleared with AOL and TechCrunch's editors and has concluded. Constine's fiancu00e9e Andee Gardiner co-founded startup accelerator Founders Embassy. Constine's cousin Darren Lachtman is the founder of influencer advertising startup Niche that was acquired by Twitter, and he's since left and founded teen content studio Brat. Constine does not write about Founders Embassy or Brat. Constine has personal acquaintances stemming from college housing circa 2007 with founders at Skybox Imaging (now Terra Bella), Hustle, Snapchat, and Robinhood, but does not maintain close social ties with them nor does that influence his writing. Constine occasionally does paid speaking engagements at conferences, but only those funded by companies he does not cover. Constine owns a small position in Ethereum and Bitcoin cryptocurrencies, does not day-trade, and discloses his positions directly in articles where appropriate. Constine does not do consulting, angel investing, or public stock trading beyond public stock invesments by his parents' estate that he has no role in managing or advising.)

nn
Best known for his gadget coverage, Kumparak has broken hundreds of stories within the space u2014 unearthing details on everything from abandoned Samsung smartphone prototypes to new Apple devices. He's also one of the Internet's most prolific "live bloggers", having reported from the scene at dozens of international events for live audiences in the hundreds of thousands.
