Read full article: Covid-19 causes potentially deadly drop in breast cancer screeningsUniversity Health is reporting an 89% drop in mammogram screenings, and the implications of missing your appointment could be deadly. Dr. Pamela Otto, lead interpreter of the University Health Breast Center, compiles statistics for the area. She says, โWeโve also seen a 50% decrease in the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer, meaning 50% of the women we would normally diagnose with breast cancer are sitting there with breast cancer and donโt know it.โAnd since cancer tumors left alone rarely stop growing for anyone, itโs suspected that once detected, 2020โฒs breast cancer cases may be further advanced.

Feds put first Black inmate to death since execution restart
Read full article: Feds put first Black inmate to death since execution restartOtto says just one juror was Black and 11 white at Vialva's 2000 federal trial in western Texas. A report this month by the Washington, D.C.-based Death Penalty Information Center said Black people remain overrepresented on death rows and that Black people who kill white people are far more likely to be sentenced to death than white people who kill Black people. There is one Asian on federal death row. โI believe when someone deliberately takes the life of another, they suffer the consequences for their actions," Todd Bagleyโs mother, Georgia, wrote in a statement released after the execution. We cannot be with our children for visits or to see them on holidays,โ Bagleyโs mother wrote.
