Anthony Fauci is recovering from West Nile virus after being hospitalized with the mosquito-borne illness for nearly a week, he told Stat News on Saturday. As chief White House medical adviser, 83-year-old Fauci, became the face of the US government's efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. He retired in December 2022 after 54 years at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) including 38 serving as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Fauci last summer joined the faculty at Georgetown University as a distinguished university professor. In an interview with Stat News on Saturday, Fauci said he had spent six days in a hospital starting August 16 while doctors tried to discern the source of his weakness, fever and chills. He then tested positive for West Nile virus, and he told the digital news outlet: «I’ve never been as sick in my life.»

Barron Trump, the youngest child of Donald and Melania Trump, has decided to start his college career in New York this autumn, which is a big break from the Trump family's custom of going to Georgetown or the University of Pennsylvania. In an interview with the New York Post on August 20, 2024, the former president Donald Trump verified the information and said that Barron had chosen a «very good» school in New York. Trump did suggest that the information would be revealed shortly, but the precise institution is still unknown, as per the reports of Yahoo news. Barron, who stands out as the tallest in his family, reaching between 6-foot-7, has maintained a low profile, especially in recent months. Unlike his other family members, he did not attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July, where his half-niece, Kai Trump, made an appearance and shared her decision to attend the University of Miami. This low visibility extends to his upcoming college move-in, a rite of passage for many families, as it is unclear if his parents, Donald and Melania Trump, will be present for this event. Whether Barron will reside on or off-campus is also still unknown. Also Read: Beyoncé fails to appear at DNC, many Democrats particularly millenials are outraged

ICC T20 World Cup at Guyana on Thursday. The last time these two nations faced off in a Men's T20 World Cup semi-final was just 19 months ago in Adelaide, when a remarkable opening partnership between Jos Buttler and Alex Hales saw England cruise to 10 wicket win that forced a complete rethink in India's T20 strategy and move away from more established superstars to younger blood, from conservatism to aggression. This time around, though, India has more batting firepower led by experienced campaigners skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, more attacking options through the middle overs, and more variation in their attack, but the defending champions will take some beating, especially with skipper Jos Buttler and his new opening partner Phil Salt both in blistering form.

For the study, researchers at the Stanford University and the Georgetown University in the US identified six English language articles, which, according to investigative journalists and the research community, likely originated from Iranian or Russian state-aligned covert propaganda campaigns.
