Quick Glance: Prolonged Presence of COVID Virus in the Body
- Researchers at the University of California in San Francisco have determined that remnants of the COVID-19 virus can persist in blood and tissue for more than a year after the initial infection.
- During their examination of long-lasting COVID, scientists identified COVID antigens in the blood up to 14 months post-infection and in tissue samples for over 2 years after the infection.

Quick Glance: San Jose Sharks Fire David Quinn After Two-Season Tenure as Head Coach
- San Jose - Feeling that his team needed a new voice as it transitions into another phase of its rebuild, San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier fired his friend, David Quinn, as head coach on Wednesday after just his second season.
- An emotional Grier stated that he finalized his decision to dismiss Quinn late Tuesday night. Recently, Grier met with players and others in the organization to discuss the Sharks' future needs following their NHL-worst record this season.
- Grier also revealed that assistant coaches Scott Gordon, Brian Wiseman, Ryan Warsofsky, and goaltending coach Thomas Speer are still part of the organization but are free to explore other opportunities. The incoming replacement for Quinn will have the authority to decide whether to retain these coaches.
- At present, Grier indicated that no other significant organizational changes are under consideration, stating that 'there's probably some other things that need to be reviewed. But that’s what we had to take care of right now.'
