Jan. 25 (UPI) Current and former long-time smokers are more than twice as likely to require hospital care after being infected with COVID-19 and nearly twice as likely to die from the virus compared to those who never smoked, a study published Monday by JAMA Internal Medicine found.
Those who smoked an average of one pack of cigarettes per day for 30 or more years were at a 125% higher risk for being hospitalized if they contracted COVID-19 compared to people who never smoked, the data showed.

At a time when the pandemic has exposed a growing shortage of nurses, it should have been good news that there were more than 1,200 applicants to enter the associate degree program in nursing at Long Beach City College.
But the California community college took only 32 of them.
North of here, California State University, East Bay isn t enrolling any nursing students at all until at least next fall.
Higher education was struggling to keep up with the skyrocketing demand for nurses even before the COVID-19 crisis. Now it s falling further behind.
