Doctors report a summer uptick in COVID-19 with an atypical shift toward gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) alongside flu activity; while the cause isn’t yet clear, experts urge continued precautions, hydration, and fever management at home, and to seek emergency care for severe dehydration or shortness of breath as schools return.

COVID-19 cases are rising this summer with more patients presenting gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) alongside fever and cough. Experts say the shift may reflect viral mutation and circulating strains of COVID-19 and flu, with back‑to‑school activity contributing to the uptick. Most cases can be managed at home with fluids and fever reducers; monitor for dehydration and seek emergency care for severe shortness of breath or inability to keep fluids down. With schools back in session, keep kids home until they’ve been fever-free for 24 hours.

Doctors report a summer rise in COVID-19 cases with a shift toward gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) in addition to fever and cough. The cause isn’t clear, but mutations and flu co-circulation may play a role. Guidance emphasizes staying hydrated, managing fever, and typical precautions (hand-washing, covering coughs). Seek care for extreme shortness of breath or inability to keep fluids down, and consider keeping kids home from school until fever-free for 24 hours.

Amid a record heat wave in Pyongyang, state media promoted dog-meat soup (dangogi) as a traditional summer remedy, described as nutritious medicine to cope with heat; the promotion ties to long-held beliefs that heat cures heat and positions dog meat as a national staple, even as outside observers react to the controversy of the endorsement.

COVID-19 activity is rising in parts of the United States, with wastewater data showing upticks mainly in the South and West, though overall levels remain low; experts cite seasonal patterns, lower vaccination rates, and summer travel, and urge vaccination with the upcoming 2026-2027 shot, testing if ill, masking when around the sick, and early Paxlovid for high-risk individuals.

COVID-19 cases are rising in parts of the U.S. this summer, though overall levels remain low, with wastewater data and CDC monitoring showing moderate activity in Missouri and Alaska and low activity elsewhere. Tracking is harder due to reduced testing. Experts attribute the uptick to waning vaccination and summer travel and urge precautions (masking when ill, hand hygiene, staying home while sick) and getting updated vaccines when available; Paxlovid can help high‑risk individuals. Measles cases are also rising, underscoring the importance of immunization.

A Washington Post Food feature curates nine Mediterranean-inspired summer dishes built on fresh, seasonal ingredients—ranging from a classic Greek salad and briny salads to a Marseille seafood stew, a smoky eggplant dip, and sun‑kissed pasta and gazpacho—inviting readers to transport coastal flavors to their kitchens without leaving home.

Heat rash (miliaria) occurs when sweat ducts are blocked, causing itchy bumps after heat or friction. Relief comes from cooling the skin and removing triggers: cool showers, breathable clothing, and keeping areas dry; OTC hydrocortisone 1% cream and calamine can ease itching, while heavy moisturizers should be avoided. For facial rash, simplify your skincare and skip heavy makeup or acids. To prevent recurrence, change out of sweaty clothes promptly, wear breathable fabrics, and consider light powders or a mild hypochlorous spray; most cases improve within a few days to a week.

In China, parents are placing oversized winter melons in infants’ cribs to help keep them cool during hot weather.

Even at aphelion, the farthest point from the Sun in early July, heat remains high because the Earth’s 23.5° tilt directs more sunlight toward the Northern Hemisphere and lengthens days. Perihelion—the closest approach to the Sun—occurs in January at about 91.4 million miles, while aphelion is about 94.5 million miles away and the planet travels around 65,500 mph. The season is driven by tilt, not proximity, and daylight is gradually changing after the solstice, which helps explain why recent local heat records occur during summer.
