    *WASHINGTON (AP) — Health advisers on Friday unanimously backed the full approval of a closely watched Alzheimer’s drug, a key step toward opening insurance coverage to U.S. seniors with early stages of the brain-robbing disease.

    The drug, Leqembi, received conditional approval from the Food and Drug Administration in January based on early results suggesting it could slow Alzheimer’s progression by several months. The FDA now is reviewing more definitive results to decide whether the drug should receive the agency’s full endorsement.*

    According to the article, the FDA's panel backing carries extra significance due to insurers holding off on paying for the infused treatment until fully backed by the FDA. Due to this, patients have had to pay approximately $26,500 per year for the drug, Leqembi(lecanemab-irmb).

    That could be a possibility! I also have 2FA enabled with Authy as the authenticator app.

    Putin asserts Ukrainian counteroffensive has begun, while drones strike within Russia

    KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted Friday that Ukrainian troops have started a long-expected counteroffensive and were suffering “significant” losses.
    Link to AP Article

    With Russia's significant attack on the Dnieper River dam that was blown to pieces, honestly not surprised if that's the case.

    However Kyiv has not made an official mention of this yet.

    Kyiv has not specified whether reservists have been mobilized to the front, but its Western allies have poured firepower, defensive systems, and other military assets and advice into Ukraine, raising the stakes for the expected counteroffensive.

    Feels like a fresh start.
