March 11, 2025On COVIDs Fifth Anniversary, the U.S. Remains Vulnerable to Infectious DiseaseOn COVIDs fifth anniversary, the U.S. is facing an outbreak of tuberculosis in Kansas that makes strong public health systems as important as ever. Anaissa Ruiz Tejada/Scientific AmericanSUBSCRIBE TO Science QuicklyRachel Feltman: For Scientific Americans Science Quickly, Im Rachel Feltman.This week marks the fifth anniversary of COVID being declared a global pandemic. So much changed about all our lives then that we are still feeling five years later.As we reflect on this anniversary, our producer Fonda Mwangi took a pulse check on where the U.S. public health system is now and the lessons its learned.On supporting science journalismIf you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our award-winning journalism by subscribing.

Theres measles in Texas and New Mexico, and of course, we cant forget about the bird flu outbreak in poultry and cows, with several recent human cases, too. But in Kansas, theyve been battling tuberculosis.Bek Shackelford-Nwanganga: The first cases associated with it were recorded in January 2024. The majority of the cases were in Wyandotte County, which is an urban county, part of the Kansas City Metro, and then there were some other cases in Johnson County, also part of the Kansas City Metro.The thing that was different with this outbreak is that the case number, um, for active tuberculosis cases, meaning the person can spread tuberculosis and is symptomatic, the active cases spiked up so quickly.Mwangi: Thats Bek Shackelford-Nwanganga, a health equity reporter at Kansas News Service. She actually first broke the story that Kansas was even having a TB outbreak.As of last Friday, Kansas has seen 68 active cases of TB, and thats since the beginning of the outbreak, as well as 80 latent cases, which is when someone has bacteria in their body, but its not causing any symptoms, and they cant spread the disease.You might have seen headlines earlier this year calling the Kansas outbreak the largest the U.S. has ever seen. Turns out that wasnt entirely right.Shackelford-Nwanganga: Unfortunately there were some crossed wires on communication there, and were not really sure on whose sideit kind of looks like maybe the Kansas Department of Health and Environment was not factual. And it first kind of broke in a legislative meeting that this is, you know, the largest outbreak ever in the U.S. history since, you know, the United States started tracking TB in the 1950s.When we posted our first story on it, we received some emails where people were concerned about their community, or they were like, just all kinds of information that I feel like maybe could have been communicated a little clearly a little earlier on to kind of nip any fear in the bud and make sure that the public was not freaking out over a pretty large outbreak.Mwangi: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there were times in the past decade where case numbers were higher than this outbreak.Okay, lets back up a little. What even is tuberculosis? Well, its an airborne disease caused by bacteria that typically spreads through prolonged close contact with an infected person.A physician I spoke with says part of the reason this disease is so complex to deal with is because it can take months or even years after a person is infected for them to actually get sick.Upwards of 70 percent of TB cases impact the lungs, but it can also affect other organs, including our bellies, brains, bones and eyes.Tuberculosis once again became the worlds deadliest infectious disease in 2023thats after briefly losing the title to COVID, according to last years World Health Organization report on the illness.Each year TB kills more than a million people around the world. In recent decades, the CDC says, the U.S.s annual death toll for the disease has hovered in the hundreds.Erin Corriveau is a physician and associate professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center and has treated cases in Kansass outbreak.Erin Corriveau: Tuberculosis is something that a lot of our public health laws actually protect. And so outbreaks of TB dont happen very commonly anymore in the United States.Mwangi: But she says that seems to be changing.Corriveau: And I think COVID had something to do with that. You know, for a time there, a lot of people were worried about going into the hospital, worried about seeking care. I think we probably had some misdiagnoses, you know? For a while there, it seemed like everything was COVID; everyone was infected with COVID. And we probably missed some tuberculosis along the way.Mwangi: But even without added complications of COVID-19, Erin says rooting out TB is hard.Corriveau: Its really just important to know that TB, again, is really tricky.Where you find some infections, there will likely be more. And because it takes so long to incubate and to work its way into families and the community, Its probably still going to be there. It takes a long time to find all of the people who are infected and treat them. It actually demands tremendous trust and investment in community medicine and public health.Mwangi: So what does a TB outbreak in Kansas show us about the state of Americas public health system?Corriveau: I think the significance is, is that, you know, we cant rest on our laurels, and I think that weve got to remain vigilant. You know, public health around the country, theres been a fair disinvestment, I think, in it.And weve seen that COVID created a situation where many people were exhausted, didnt feel good about their roles in public health anymore. But the importance of it is now more than ever.Mwangi: And Erin is not alone in thinking that now is a critical time to invest in public health.Jennifer Nuzzo: It is a really stunning list of infectious disease threats that we are currently tracking here in the United StatesId also add a really kind of historically intense flu season, human influenza season. And then theres a number of infectious disease threats that are happening globally that we have to track because we want to make sure it doesnt come here.So weve got an Ebola outbreak in Uganda, Marburg in Tanzaniawe have mpox circulating throughout the world. So really it is quite stunning. In terms of U.S. public health system, you know, I have a lot of reasons to be more worried now than I have been in a long time.Mwangi: Thats Jennifer Nuzzo, founding director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University School of Public Health. Shes been working in public health since the early 2000s.Nuzzo: I was actually working at a local health department after September 11th, 2001. And I saw how there was a concerted effort to make sure that health departments had all the tools they neededthe resources, as well as the legislative or sort of legal powers, to be able to take swift action in case America was attacked again.And seeing now, I think, an attempt to erode the capacities and the public health powers of health departments really just stands at odd with what we did. We lost 3,000 or so American lives in 2001, and it galvanized the nation. We lost more than a million Americans in COVID-19, and it seems like we are determined to just do it again.Mwangi: How do we stop that from happening? Well, researchers are trying to figure it out.Michelle Mello: I think what we found is that state legislatures have been emboldened to try to tell health officials in advance what they can and cant do to manage health emergencies.Mwangi: Thats Michelle Mello, a professor at Stanford Universitys medical and law schools. Shes studying how public health legal powers have changed since the COVID-19 pandemic began.Mello: There was a feeling that there were not enough guardrails around the exercise of public health legal powers during COVID. And that feeling, you know, has a basis in many peoples reality, which was that they were subject to very burdensome health orders for a very long period of time without a lot of explanation from health officials and by health officials who are not democratically accountable. So that kind of sowed the seed for people to feel like a correction was necessary.Mwangi: How exactly have legislative changes impacted public health powers in recent years?Mello: Whats unusual about lawmaking in the latter half of the COVID pandemic is that even though we mostly think about law as facilitating public health promotion, in this case, many states use their lawmaking powers to try to restrict the ability of the executive branch to take actions to protect public health during health emergencies, including but not limiting to pandemics.Some state legislatures reached beyond emergencies and impose limitations on what health officials or governors could do during what you might call peacetimeso, for example, limiting their ability to impose new vaccination mandates.And then other states have done things that make it harder to close down schools or businesses. For example, theres one state that has said, you cant close a whole school. You can only close the building where a case of an infectious disease occurred.Just let that sink in for a moment. So now we have, without specifying what the disease is could be any diseaseif you have a measles outbreak or a new highly infectious pathogen, the only thing you can do is shut off the building where a kid who had that disease was for a period of time. The other students cant be protected in any way by a school closure.Mwangi: Michelle says thats not all.Mello: There are a few states that have decided that now were not going to do stay-at-home orders anymore. Theyve passed laws that if you parse their language, that is the effect. They preclude health officials from imposing orders that affect a class of persons. So they could quarantine me if I was infectious, but they couldnt quarantine, you know, my neighborhood.So thats a pretty big set of handcuffs put on future emergency response.Mwangi: Its been five years since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. But what has our public health system learned during that time?Erin says one of the biggest lessons she and her public health colleagues took away from the pandemic is that everything is tied together.Corriveau: It also just teaches us that weve got to have a system in play that is really connected, and we cant let down at any level.Our public health system, from the WHO to the CDC to state and then to local health departments, is finely tuned, and each level supports the level next to it, both above and below. And I think that whenever we do not invest in one of the levels, it just sort of starts to crumble a bit.Mwangi: Michelle agrees with that.Mello: If we defund and empty out federal agencies of the people, uh, and programs that do that work, were going to be facing a much greater set of challenges than we did during COVID.Mwangi: And so far, this year has been full of government cuts, especially in the federal workforce.Jennifer advises governments and organizations on pandemic preparedness. And shes worried about the ongoing erosion of the U.S. public health workforce.Nuzzo: I would point out that a lot of these federal workers actually work in our states and make our states stronger and more capable. So that kind of upheaval, I think, is deeply concerning. We knew that even before 2025, we were already down many of the positions that we needed in public health and particularly down the very experienced leaders.A lot of leaders have just left the field, in part because of the politicization and the attacks that theyve gotten over years.Mwangi: Jennifer sees the last five years as just the start of a new normal where dealing with periodic health crises is a regular part of life.Nuzzo: I think the fact that we are seeing so many infectious disease threats right now should really just be a reminder to people that just because COVID as an emergency is over, just because its five years later, even though it was called a once-in-a-century health crisis, doesnt mean that were, you knowgot 95 more years to forget about these sorts of things, to just ignore them.Just like we are seeing floods and other things happen more and more regularly, were going to see these events more and more regularly. Theres a number of reasons for that.Mwangi: Jennifer says its in part because of the environmental changes were seeing, which give rise to new pathogens. Also at play are our behavioral changes that allow pathogens to spread farther and faster than they could ever before. Thats why building off the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic is critical if were gonna arm ourselves for whatever health threats might be coming next.Nuzzo: And what that means is we need to build the resilience to them. We need to build infrastructure in our communities to be able to handle it. We need to build that infrastructure to be able to mitigate the tolls of these events so they dont upend our lives every single time they happen.Mwangi: The future of Americas public health infrastructure depends on us having the tools needed to protect everyone's health. As Jennifer says...Nuzzo: We are not strong as a nation, we are not secure as a nation, we are not prosperous as a nation, we are not happy as a nation unless we have our health.Feltman: Thats all for todays episode.

Hideki Kamiya on leaving PlatinumGames: "I couldn't allow myself to kill my soul"Praises Shinji Mikami for inspiring his career.Image credit: Clovers / Game*Spark News by Ed Nightingale Deputy News Editor Published on March 12, 2025 Hideki Kamiya has commented further on his decision to leave PlatinumGames in 2023, stating: "I couldn't allow myself to kill my soul in order to work in an environment that I didn't agree with".In a recent interview with Japanese outlet Game*Spark (translated by Automaton), the Bayonetta creator discussed his new studio Clovers and disputed its similarity to Capcom's now-defunct Clover Studio (where he worked on Okami and Viewtiful Joe) is not him "clinging to the past"."If there's anything I'm particular about, it's Capcom Production Studio 4," he said. "Studio 4 is where my career started, and where I learned from Shinji Mikami - a person who has been absolutely indispensable to my career, both as a creator and as my superior."Okami sequel - Project Teaser TrailerWatch on YouTubeMikami led Production Studio 4, which was responsible for many Resident Evil games, Dino Crisis, Devil May Cry, and many more."Back then, we used to call what Mikami taught us the 'spirit of the 4th'," said Kamiya. "The reason I left PlatinumGames was because the company's way of thinking was gradually shifting towards a modern model of game development that doesn't place importance on the creators' individuality."He added: "Even if it meant the end of my career as a creator, I couldn't allow myself to kill my soul in order to work in an environment that I didn't agree with."Kamiya is a particularly outspoken figure in the games industry, but his output certainly has a unique and distinctive flair: from the stylish action of Devil May Cry and flamboyance of Bayonetta, to the unique visuals of Okami and Viewtiful Joe.That spirit of "the creators' individuality" is also particularly apparent in, for example, Hideo Kojima's forthcoming Death Stranding 2. Where the industry contains plenty of copycat games and sequels, Kamiya's comments highlight the importance of creating fresh experiences.Another Kamiya example would be the cancelled Scalebound, which Kamiya worked on at PlatinumGames with Microsoft. The action game focused on a human protagonist with headphones and a smartphone in a fantasy world with a sidekick dragon. Kamiya recently stated his interest in resurrecting the project, with a direct callout to Xbox boss Phil Spencer.Kamiya also took a cheeky stab at his former employer in a video on his YouTube channel. It features a number of prominent developers from PlatinumGames who have recently left all having a drinking party.Clovers, Kamiya's new studio, is working on a sequel to Okami. The announcement had Kamiya "crying with the fans".PlatinumGames, meanwhile, is working with Microsoft on Ninja Gaiden 4.

Epic Games released numerous new items while also adjusting several gameplay features. On top of this, Sub-Zeros Kombat Kit received a tiny change. The stats of this item did not change, but when using it, players would see a mysterious image on the screen.If you are one of these players, we will explain what the image is about in this article. Unfortunately, you may not see this image anymore, as the Fortnite developer disabled it with a hotfix shortly after it was released.What is the mysterious image in Fortnite?If you used Sub-Zeros Kombat Kit to get an elimination shortly after the v34.10 update, you probably noticed an image that appears in the lower-right corner. The image appears for only a second, so its easy to miss. At first, some players believed that this was a glitch, which isnt the case. The mysterious image in Fortnite is an easter egg that was featured in Mortal Kombat games.The image shows Dan Forden, a sound programmer. In Mortal Kombat II, Dan would appear in the right corner saying Toasty! after players landed a brutal uppercut. In Fortnite, Epic only added an image, as there is no sound. However, this was more than enough for Mortal Kombat fans to recognize the reference.The Toasty image would briefly appear in the lower-right corner. Image by VideoGamerInterestingly, Toasty is also the name of Scorpions Fatality. According to leaks, this popular Mortal Kombat character is set to join Fortnite, although the release date is still unknown. It also seems that Epic may add some sort of a Fatality move to Fortnite, which will likely come with the release of Scorpions skin.FortnitePlatform(s):Android, iOS, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/XGenre(s):Action, Massively Multiplayer, Shooter9VideoGamerRelated TopicsFortnite Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

A sense of expansion is evident in nearly every space of the finished brownstone. The effect was achieved not so much by moving walls (although there was a little of that), but a carefully curated color palette of soft butters, vanillas, and creams complemented by similarly toned, textured textiles like cashmeres and wools. But the collaboration between Del Piero and the Heywards is perhaps best exemplified by what the couple refers to as their prayer room, a lounge that often serves as a wind-down space for their two boys at the end of the night. My main inspiration for that room was pulling from my Muslim roots, Vedrana says. Its very Middle Eastern in there, we have beautiful art of old mosques and you can sit on the floor. Del Piero brought in cozy textiles like an alpaca fur rug from Oscar Isberian, custom modular seating in a variety of neutral fabrics, and sheer, breezy drapes from Mark Alexander, all of which convey serenity and comfort.A similar theme is also found in the primary suite, which encompasses the aforementioned bathroom, plus a bedroom, home office, and oversized closet. Its very spa-like in there, says Vedrana of the space, which is a study in creams. One of the most striking corners is the office, which is surrounded by windows on three walls, plus a subtly pyramidal ceiling to add a sense of towering space. To counteract all the rectilinear angles (and for nighttime privacy), Del Piero added Mark Alexander fabric drapes, as well as an eye-catching bespoke Carine Boxy rug in sheepskin and cowhide.The boys playroom has plenty of soft textures for climbing. But the star of the space is the light fixture by Rogan Gregory, sourced through R & Company.Custom pieces, both in furniture and art, are another hallmark of the project. Bespoke elements range from the Carson Maddox Studios bathroom mirror to the couples upholstered bed frame, and even one of the most notable artworks in the home. I love nude female art. But when I saw this painting, I was like, How am I going to sell this to Jason? Vedrana says of the old-world-inspired Seth Fite piece that was the original inspiration for what now hangs in the abodes foyer. The solution? Fite crafted a new painting, this time with the model now loosely draped with a piece of fabric.Like in so much of this home, choices like these were a true collaboration. Design is a dialogue, Del Piero says. Its a conversation between the art, the furnishings, the architecture, and the clients desires. And as it turns out, you dont necessarily need to be in the same place at the same time to communicate through the language of color, shape, and style.

As a born and raised Angeleno, Este Haim has never strayed too far from home. While growing up in San Fernando Valley, she and her sisters, Danielle and Alana (who comprise the award-winning band HAIM), lived in a midcentury house. Ive been obsessed with fashion since I was probably in elementary school, but when it comes to home decor, it was never really something that my mom and dad were into, she says from a hotel room in London. Im not the best when it comes to that stuff, even though my grandma was an interior designer. I wish that it matriculated down to me, but it did not. It definitely matriculated down to Danielle, she has a really, really keen eye. My eye is not as keen as hers, so I knew once I bought my house that I was going to need some help.When the band isnt headlining tours across the globe (a forthcoming album is on the way as evidenced by the release of their new single Relationships), Este maintains her peace of mind from the comfort of Silverlake, where she finally bought a house around two years ago. When I come home from tour, it is the nicest feeling to have a really comfy and cozy place for me to relax in, she explains. As a touring musician, when you open the door to your house, you just want to feel like every fiber of your being is relaxed and you can let go of everything youve been carrying from tour.Ive been following [Lulu & Georgia] for almost 10 years now, so Ive always just been a fan from the sidelines, Este Haim says. They eventually reached out to me and I was fully fangirling, I was like, I love you guys. I love everything you do. I love all your collaborations. One thing led to another and I was like, Oh, wait, pop quiz, guess what? I just bought a house, I need your help.Photo courtesy of Lulu and GeorgiaAfter getting settled in with her fianc, Este had her sights set on Lulu and Georgia to furnish their humble abodeshe had already been following the brand for about a decade after repeat encounters in the homes of friends. When I first moved in, I was also traveling and touring so I had basically a mattress, an IKEA lamp, and a hot plate, Este recalls. I had a stretch of time when we were hunkering down to make the record and I could sit with the lovely gals at Lulu and Georgia... We mapped everything out over the course of a couple weeks.Not only is the musician officially a first-time homeowner, but this house also marks the first place Este has ever lived with a long-term partner. (Thankfully, he has a good eye for design, so she can leave most of the sartorial choices to him.) Im mostly particular about my plants, I try to be as good of a plant mom as I possibly can, she admits. The fun part for me now is bringing as much foliage into the house as possible and still being able to collect things along the way. Being in London, Im going to try and do a little bit of home decor shopping, but hes pretty particular and Im still learning how to live with a boy. Its an interesting process, who knew? I love my independence, so we are in a trial and error situation as we progress in me being affianced, figuring it out, but were great.

Testing EverythingEA's Skate reportedly has microtransactions added-in before it's out in early access, seemingly because its alpha test is also aiming to get feedback on buying stuffSan Van Bucks have apparently made their debut in the game.Image credit: EA News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on March 12, 2025 EA's Skate -or skate.- is reportedly introducing the microtransactions we knew it'd be getting at some point a little earlier than some folks had anticipated, with a message informing players of the arrival of some virtual currency apparently having been sent out during the game's ongoing closed alpha test.This is according to Insider Gaming, which cites a message recently sent to players participating in the test informing them that a virtual currency dubbed San Van Bucks is being made available, and that folks will be able to buy cosmetics with it.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. The reasoning being given for this happening now is seemingly pretty benign depending on how you view things, with EA alluding to wanting to gather player feedback on the system in an effort to deliver a positive experience when purchasing items from the skate store".That's ahead of the game's early access launch, which will take place at some point in 2025, according to Skate's website. It sounds like if you make any purchases right now using currency you've bought, they will be converted back into San Van Bucks in the event your game progress is reset and made available again when Skate's early access launches.VG247 has reached out to EA for comment.While as I mentioned, we've known for a while that Skate will be free-to-play with microtransactions, a lot of the outrage that this news has kicked off appears to be mostly that this currency has been deployed so early in the game's release cycle, before it's gotten a full release date. Would people still be unhappy if this currency had been added-in for the first time during the early access phase instead, or with the full release? Probably, but it seems at least some of them think doing it during the alpha is a step further than that.How do you feel about the way EA's approaching Skate's monetisation? Let us know below!

Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube798kSurprise! Takaya Imamura is back with another dream for the future of Star Fox. But this time, instead of calling for a Switch port of Star Fox Zero or Assault again, the legendary Nintendo artist has his heart set on the big screen.At least, that's what he told former NOA staffers Kit and Krysta in a recent YouTube interview. When asked what he'd like to see from a future Star Fox game, Imamura-san took the opportunity to talk about a movie adaptation instead. "A film," the artist candidly replied, "and I would love to be a part of that".What's more, Imamura-san reckons it will one day become a reality: "I really believe Miyamoto-san is going to make a Star Fox movie," he told the podcast hosts.You can find the clip in question above, or check out the following transcript for Imamura-san's full answer:Nintendo has been talking about putting more time, effort, money, investments into their IP business as a whole outside of games. So, if there's one thing I'd like to see from Star Fox, [it's] a film. And I would love to be a part of that. I actually said [to Nintendo], "if you make it, I want to help out".I really believe Miyamoto-san is going to make a Star Fox movie.It's a pretty sky-high dream, but reflecting on those animated sequences from Star Fox Zero, we certainly wouldn't turn down the chance to see more.That said, it feels like a real long shot. The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a staggering success financially, but a huge part of that will have been down to brand recognition. It has been almost 10 years since our last mainline Star Fox game, and even then, McCloud and co. don't pack nearly as many fans as the likes of Mario or Zelda.Who knows, maybe once the Nintendo Cinematic Universe really kicks into gear, we'll catch a glimpse of an Arwing in a post-credits stinger. "He got a good laugh out of that"With Steel Diver thrown in for good measure"I've been dying to play it"Would you like to see a Star Fox movie? Barrel roll down to the comments and let us know.[source youtube.com]Related GamesSee AlsoShare:01 Jim came to Nintendo Life in 2022 and, despite his insistence that The Minish Cap is the best Zelda game and his unwavering love for the Star Wars prequels (yes, really), he has continued to write news and features on the site ever since.
