Coronavirus updates: 'Front line hero' dies of virus; police bust party at house filled with infected college students
Drug developers are racing to create a COVID-19 vaccine, but a post-pandemic world won't suddenly arrive when one is successfully developed.
A return to "normal living" won't come until "several months" after a vaccine first arrives, Dr. Anthony Fauci said on CNN. That's likely to be about a year away, as a successful vaccine still needs to be manufactured and distributed at a massive scale.
In the meantime, Americans are learning more about risks associated with several parts of normal life that remain. Recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studies documented health challenges in dining and daycare. One study found dining out was linked with higher infection rates in adults. Another study documented children who were infected in daycare and spread the virus at home.
Meanwhile colleges continue to be hot spots for the virus: Of the 25 hottest outbreaks in the U.S., communities heavy with college students represent 19 of them.

Puerto Rico was reopening beaches, casinos, gyms and movie theaters across the U.S. territory Saturday.
The U.S. State Department downgraded its travel warning for Mexico.

'Front line hero' dies after 4-month battle with virus in Kentucky
An infectious disease specialist at Bowling Green Med Center Health in Kentucky died four months after testing positive for COVID-19.
Dr. Rebecca Shadowen, who was a leader with the Bowling Green-Warren County Coronavirus Workgroup, died Friday night following a battle with COVID-19, the medical center announced. "There are really no words to describe the pain felt by her family, physician colleagues and Med Center Health teammates," Connie Smith, president and CEO of Med Center Health, wrote in a statement.
On social media Saturday morning, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear encouraged people to follow her advice and "wear a mask in her honor."

"I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Dr. Rebecca Shadowen, a front line hero who worked tirelessly to protect the lives of others," Beshear wrote. "Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends and colleagues."
Police in Oxford, Ohio, cited six men who attended a house party near Miami University last Saturday for violating the state's mass gathering and quarantine ordinance. Bodycam footage shows an officer arriving at a home near the campus and finding men without masks on the porch.
In the footage, one of the residents tells the officer he tested positive a week before. The officer asks how many other people in the house have COVID-19, and the resident responds, "They all do."
“Oh, God. This is what we’re trying to prevent,” the officer says. “We want to keep this town open.”
Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York City reacted to the situation in an emailed statement: "If students could witness the death and devastation inside ERs and ICUs over the past few months, they might better understand the value of not only quarantines and isolation if they test positive, but the possibility of death if they attend or hold a party if they have COVID-19."
Ohio's candidate for state health director withdraws
The candidate Gov. Mike DeWine had tapped to be the next director of the Ohio Department of Health has withdrawn from consideration, the governor’s office said in a press release Thursday night.
Dr. Joan Duwve cited unspecified personal reasons for her decision. She was meant to replace interim director Lance Himes, who had been filling in since Dr. Amy Acton stepped down as director of the health department in June amid criticism from Republicans over her actions to protect the health and safety of Ohioans.
AstraZeneca to resume vaccine trial in UK
Pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca is expected to resume clinical trials of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate after a brief global pause in testing, Oxford University, which is co-developing the vaccine, said in a statement Saturday.
AstraZeneca put a hold on its COVID-19 clinical trials worldwide this week while it investigated an adverse reaction in a trial participant in the United Kingdom. One volunteer in a trial in the United Kingdom apparently developed a serious neurological problem after receiving the vaccine.
A standard review process triggered the study pause on Sunday, Oxford said, and an independent safety review committee and national regulators reviewed the group's safety data.
"The independent review process has concluded and following the recommendations of both the independent safety review committee and the UK regulator, the (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency), the trials will recommence in the UK," Oxford said in a statement Saturday.

India also reported another 1,201 deaths Saturday, bringing total deaths to 77,472, the third highest in the world.
