Approval would mean that the drug will be prioritized for people with compromised immune systems who don’t get enough protection from the virus through vaccines. The Anglo-Swedish company said Tuesday that the treatment, AZD&442, would be the first long-acting antibody combination to get emergency authorization for preventative purposes. “Vulnerable populations such as the immunocompromised often aren’t able to mount a protective response following vaccination and continue to be at risk of developing COVID-19,” Mene Pangalos, AstraZeneca’s executive vice president for pharmaceutical research, said in a statement....

The star, known as T Ursae Minoris (T UMi), is a red giant—a hugely inflated type of star in a late phase of its lifecycle—located around 3,000 light-years from Earth in the Ursa Minor constellation. In just a few billion years, our sun will likely become a red giant like T Umi, expanding to the point where the inner planets will be consumed. “We anticipate our sun and T UMi will end their lives much more quietly and slowly compared with a supernova—a powerful and luminous explosion,” Meridith Joyce, lead author of a study from The Australian National University, said in a statement....

In the eighth inning of Thursday’s Astros-Mets matchup, the Houston shortstop collided with outfielder Yordan Álvarez in short left field as both players chased down a Dominic Smith pop-up. Álvarez lay on the ground for several minutes before he was carted off, and Peña also departed the game following the collision. Thankfully, both players were conscious and alert following the collision. The cart was likely more of a precaution for the outfielder....

While nothing can take away from the loss Houston suffered through last week, the Astros provided a little ray of sunshine in beating the Mets in a doubleheader. The Astros beat the Mets 12-8 after touching up Matt Harvey for seven earned runs in two innings. George Springer hit his 30th home run of the season in the second inning of the first game. He ultimately collected five hits between the two games....

Like most of its mesh rivals, the Lyra provides multiple routers that can be placed in separate rooms or locations and then linked together in order to create a wider ‘mesh’ network. However, the emphasis with the Lyra seems to be very much on larger homes. Most mesh systems provide the option of either two or three routers, but the Lyra is currently only available as a three-piece kit that is designed to cover homes of 4000 – 6000 square feet....

However, to take advantage of the faster and more reliable speeds the Wi-Fi 6 standard offers you, you’re going to need a Wi-Fi 6 router. While these devices haven’t always been the easiest on the wallet, that starting to change. The Asus RX-AX55 is one of the cheapest Wi-Fi 6 routers available right now. In addition to being a standalone device, this router can be set up to work as the main node in a mesh system, so you can add more devices if you don’t quite have the budget to stretch to a fully-fledged mesh Wi-Fi network system just yet....

Last June, the Independent Commission on Sexual Abuse in the Church (CIASE) was set up to look into abuse claims committed by the clergy in France since the 1950s. A hotline for victims to come forward has so far received more than 5,000 phone calls. The number of estimated victims represents an average of 40 cases per year over seven decades. The head of the commission, Jean-Marc Sauvé, said that around 1,500 clergy and church officials carried out the abuse....

Unfortunately, the pro wrestling ring was already a high-infectivity place. Most matches happen in enclosed buildings surrounded by screaming fans (prior to the coronavirus pandemic, anyway) who sit elbow to elbow in the stands. Wrestlers are in close contact for the entirety of the match, exposed to each others’ sweat and sometimes other bodily fluids. Even with regular disinfection and other precautions, it’s simply not feasible to completely protect WWE staff from infection and still hold matches....

Atalanta are one of the two teams in Italy to take points off the Juventus this season. Nicknamed Orobici, Atalanta came close to an impressive victory over the Bianconeri only to see Portuguese winger Cristiano Ronaldo leveling it up in the 78th minute to end the boxing day affair as a draw, after Juventus had to play more than half an hour with a man down. The 7th placed team in the Serie A are unbeaten in their last five matches, having scored an impressive 18 goals in the process....

Bancroft has been charged with “attempting to change the condition of the ball” during the second session in Cape Town after rubbing it with a piece of tape. He quickly returned the tape to his pocket and then put it down the front of his trousers, before appearing to deny any wrongdoing when approached by the on-field umpires. The Australian opener admitted the offence in a media conference at the end of the day, revealing he had used tape from his kit to pick up granules of dirt from the Newlands pitch to try and alter the ball....
