There’s a new shot to protect newborns from a serious respiratory virus, but parents may not be able to get it

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:10:26 GMT

(CNN) — A highly anticipated new shot that can protect newborns from the ravages of respiratory syncytial virus may not be available to some families this season because of uncertainties about insurance coverage.When the US Food and Drug Administration approved the antibody, nirsevimab, in July, pediatricians and parents were jubilant. RSV fills hospitals every winter with babies who are struggling to breathe. As many as 80,000 kids under the age of 5 are hospitalized annually in the United States with this infection, and up to 300 die, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.“Every pediatrician is jumping for joy that this preventative tool is available for newborns, because we see what happens when a healthy baby gets this terrible infection,” said Dr. Sallie Permar, chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian Hospital.The new shot, which goes by the brand name Beyfortus, slashed infants’ risk of being hospitaliz...

Gas prices could fall to $3.25 by Halloween as oil plunges

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:10:26 GMT

New York (CNN) — After spiking to alarming levels just last week, oil prices are suddenly in free-fall mode. The dramatic reversal should bring relief to drivers (and nervous central bankers) very soon.US oil prices plunged by 5.6% to $84.22 a barrel on Wednesday, marking the biggest one-day decline in a year. Crude dropped even further Thursday, sinking as low as $82.24 a barrel, a five-week low.This is quite the U-turn, even for the notoriously boom-to-bust oil market. As recently as last week, US crude briefly touched $95 a barrel and Wall Street banks were predicting $100 or higher amid Saudi Arabia and Russia’s aggressive supply cuts.Now, gas prices are already starting to retreat and experts predict sharper drops to come.The national average for regular gas dipped to $3.77 a gallon on Thursday, according to AAA. That’s 11 cents below the 2023 peak set last month when gas prices experienced an unusual post-Labor Day jump.Gas prices will tumble...

Bruins notebook: Jesper Boqvist gets good chance against Rangers

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:10:26 GMT

Jesper Boqvist has had a fairly non-descript raining camp, but the New Jersey Devil castaway had a chance to change all that when the Bruins traveled to Madison Square Garden to take on the Rangers in their final preseason game on Thursday.Boqvist, whose skating is perhaps his best asset, was getting a chance to play on a top line with David Pastrnak and his former Jersey teammate Pavel Zacha.What was coach Jim Montgomery looking for with Boqvist on that unit?“His ability to build our team game, his ability to compliment those two, add offense and also track back and be able to eloiminate plays coming back. His 200-foot game at both ends of the ice and see if there’s any chemistry with those two players,” said Montgomery.Boqvist, the 36th overall pick in the 2017 draft, was a casualty of the league-wide cap crunch last summer. The Devils chose not to extend him a qualifying offer, making him a free agent. The B’s signed him on the second day of free agency to a one-year ...

$1B will bring more city trees. But it’ll take more than seedlings to grow urban forests

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:10:26 GMT

Alex Brown | Stateline.org (TNS)SEATTLE — Over the next five years, leaders here in the Emerald City will spend millions in federal dollars to green up neighborhoods that lack trees. As Seattle and the surrounding region deal with more frequent extreme heat events, residents are starting to view trees as more than a luxury.“The conversation around our urban forest has hit a high degree of urgency because of climate change,” said Jessyn Farrell, director of the city’s Office of Sustainability & Environment. “What has really shifted in the last couple of years is the idea that trees are important climate infrastructure, and trees are really suffering because of climate change.”As cities across the country brace for more extreme weather, a new federal grant program is helping them use trees as a solution — especially in neighborhoods with little canopy. Urban forests provide shade that significantly lowers temperatures during heat waves; they also absorb stormwater runoff and air p...
