Research into the cause of cancer involves many different disciplines including genetics, diet, environmental factors (i.e. chemical carcinogens). In regard to investigation of causes and potential targets for therapy, the route used starts with data obtained from clinical observations,

A new study suggests babies exposed to COVID in the womb may have impacts on brain development, cognition, and emotional health.

Researchers found brain changes and a higher risk of delays, with 52% at high risk by age 2 compared with 14% of children born before the pandemic.

Long COVID is best described as a cluster of overlapping symptoms rather than one single condition, according to a review of 64 studies from 20 countries covering 2.4 million people.

Fatigue was most common, often alongside muscle and joint pain, cognitive symptoms, or shortness of breath.

Mary Somerville - the person for whom the word scientist was coined by William Whewell in his 1834. She was a polymath, an intellectual tour de force at a time when teaching women to read and write let alone think deeply was frowned upon or ignored ⚒️🧪🌊

A page from the Victorian Respiratory Surveillance Report – Laboratory surveillance, dated 26 December 2025. The section titled “Laboratory surveillance – Case notifications” explains that laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19, influenza and RSV are reported to the Victorian Department of Health, noting that lab data represents only a subset of total community infections and is affected by testing changes. Summary for the past week: COVID-19: stable (−1%), shown with a horizontal arrow Influenza: 12% decrease, shown with a downward purple arrow RSV: 6% decrease, shown with a downward blue arrow The three pathogens are displayed in separate shaded boxes with icons indicating trend direction. A page from the Victorian Respiratory Surveillance Report – Laboratory surveillance, dated 26 December 2025, showing Figure 1: COVID-19 notified cases by week in Victoria, covering 22 December 2024 to 20 December 2025. An orange bar chart displays weekly case counts, with a rise early in 2025, a larger peak around mid-year (June–July), followed by a gradual decline and lower, steadier levels toward October–December. Text below the chart states: 498 notified COVID-19 cases two weeks ago (7–13 Dec 2025) 493 notified COVID-19 cases last week (14–20 Dec 2025) Overall trend: 1% stable, shown with a right-pointing arrow. A page from the Victorian Respiratory Surveillance Report – Laboratory surveillance, dated 26 December 2025, focusing on Influenza. The text notes that influenza notifications come from a subset of laboratories, covering about 85% of total influenza notifications in Victoria. Figure 3 shows a stacked bar chart of influenza notified cases by week in Victoria, covering 22 December 2024 to 20 December 2025. Bars are coloured to represent Influenza A, Influenza B, and combined A and B. Cases rise gradually early in 2025, peak sharply around June–July at close to 5,000 cases per week, then decline through spring, with moderate levels continuing toward the end of the year. Summary boxes below the chart state: Influenza A: 2,226 cases two weeks ago (7–13 Dec 2025) and 1,970 cases last week (14–20 Dec 2025), a 12% decrease, shown with a downward arrow. Influenza B: 39 cases two weeks ago and 27 cases last week, a 31% decrease, also shown with a downward arrow. A page from the Victorian Respiratory Surveillance Report – Laboratory surveillance, dated 26 December 2025, focusing on Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). The text notes that RSV notifications are reported from a subset of laboratories in Victoria, covering around 85% of total RSV notifications. Figure 6 shows a blue bar chart of RSV notified cases by week in Victoria, covering 22 December 2024 to 20 December 2025. Weekly cases are low at the start of 2025, rise steadily through autumn, peak sharply around June–July at just over 2,000 cases per week, then decline through winter and spring, reaching lower levels by October–December. Summary boxes below the chart state: 172 notified RSV cases two weeks ago (7–13 Dec 2025) 161 notified RSV cases last week (14–20 Dec 2025) Overall trend: 6% decrease, shown with a downward arrow.

US Weekly COVID update: Dec 29, 2025

🔸1 in 51 Actively Infectious
🔸958,000 New Daily Infections
🔸6,320,000 Infections In The Past Week
🔸239,000,000 Infections in 2025
🔸316,000 to 1,260,000 Weekly Long COVID Cases
🔸1,900 to 3,200 Weekly Deaths

A U.S. map titled “COVID-19 Heat Map, Based on CDC Wastewater Data and Levels (U.S.)”, dated December 29, 2025, produced by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model. States are colour-coded by wastewater COVID-19 levels: Very High (dark maroon), High (red), Moderate (orange), Low (yellow), Very Low (pale yellow), with hatched areas indicating limited data. Large parts of the Midwest and Northeast show moderate to very high levels, while much of the West and Southeast appear low to very low. Text on the image states that the 12th COVID wave in the U.S. is peaking, with an estimated ~961,000 infections on December 27, noting uncertainty due to variable New York data. It estimates 22 states have moderate to very high transmission, highlights variability even in “very low” regions, and notes that high transmission often continues on the back end of waves. Data was last updated 12/20/25, with levels shown for Dec 29, 2025. A table titled “National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.)” from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated December 29, 2025. The table summarises estimated infections, long COVID outcomes, and excess deaths in the United States. Infections: Proportion actively infectious: 1 in 51 (2%) New daily infections: 958,000 Infections in the past week: 6,320,000 Infections in 2025: 239,000,000 Cumulative infections per person: 4.88 Long COVID: From new daily infections: 48,000 to 192,000 cases From new weekly infections: 316,000 to 1,260,000 cases Excess deaths: From new daily infections: 290 to 480 deaths From new weekly infections: 1,900 to 3,200 deaths A note at the bottom states that daily infections are expected to remain at similar levels over the next week, with weekly infections likely resulting in over 300,000 new chronic conditions and approximately 2,000–3,000 excess deaths. A table titled “COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates” from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated December 29, 2025 (pmc19.com/data). It lists U.S. states with estimated COVID-19 prevalence based on wastewater data. Columns include State, CDC Level, PMC estimate of actively infectious (e.g., 1 in X, %), and the chance that someone is infectious in a room of 10, 25, 50, or 100 people. Several states are highlighted with higher transmission: Indiana (Very High): 1 in 14 (6.9%); >99% chance in a room of 100 Arkansas, Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota (High/High*): around 1 in 32–38 actively infectious, with ~93–96% chance in a room of 100 Lower-prevalence examples include: California, Hawaii, Alaska, Florida, DC with Very Low levels (roughly 1 in 280 to 1 in 855 infectious). A footnote notes limited data reporting for some states, and a statement at the bottom warns that actual levels are likely higher due to reporting lags. Data was last updated 12/20/25. A continuation table titled “COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates” from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated December 29, 2025 (pmc19.com/data). It lists U.S. states from Missouri to Wyoming, showing estimated COVID-19 prevalence based on wastewater data. Columns include State, CDC Level, PMC estimate of actively infectious (1 in X, %), and the chance that at least one person is infectious in a room of 10, 25, 50, or 100 people. States with the highest estimated prevalence are highlighted: Nebraska (Very High): 1 in 18 (5.5%), with a >99% chance in a room of 100 Oklahoma (Very High): 1 in 25 (4.0%), 98% chance in a room of 100 Ohio (High): 1 in 28 (3.6%), 97% chance in a room of 100 South Dakota (High): 1 in 33 (3.0%), 95% chance in a room of 100 Lower-prevalence states include Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Virginia, and Wyoming, generally marked Very Low, with estimates ranging from about 1 in 137 to 1 in 229 infectious. Footnotes note limited or missing reporting for some states (e.g., North Dakota), caution that New York data quality is poor, and warn that actual levels are likely higher due to reporting lags. Data was last updated 12/20/25.
