MILWAUKIE, OR - JULY 20: A customer picks up a prescription at Hi-School Pharmacy store on July 20, 2005 in Milwaukie, Oregon. The Oregon House passed a bill today that would make Oregon the first state to require prescriptions for certain cold medicines that contain Pseudoephedrine, the active ingredient used to make Meth. Oregon law requires ID checks and a log book of all cold medicine sales.
Police in Oregon can no longer arrest people possessing small amounts of methamphetamine, LSD, heroin, oxycodone, and other hard drugs starting today, under a ballot measure passed in November. Those who would be found possessing hard drugs would be penalized up to $100 or have a health assessment leading to addiction counseling.

BURNLEY, ENGLAND - MAY 15: Neonatal Nurse Kirsty Hartley cares for premature baby Theo Anderson in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Lancashire Women and Newborn Centre at Burnley General Hospital in East Lancashire, during the current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic, on May 15, 2020 in Burnley, England.
COVID-19 antibodies can be passed into the unborn baby s placenta if the mother caught the coronavirus while pregnant, Philadelphia-based researchers found. These findings are a good sign for concerned parents. However, parents are unable to assert with certainty that the infected mother s newborn will be safe from COVID-19 as the science is still evolving, researchers say.
