Everything Old Is New Again: hMPV and health

Posted by Staff on Thursday, January 30, 2025

By Karen L. Kier, Pharmacist

Anne Murray sang Everything Old Is New Again on episode 415 of The Muppet Show, which aired on February 1, 1980 in the United Kingdom and March 10, 1980 in New York City.  Anne sings while different Muppet characters including Scooter are on skateboards going in and out of the sketch.  

In 1987, Anne Murray was the first female country artist to earn triple platinum for an album.  Anne is from Canada and first started recording her music in 1967.  She retired in 2008 and has been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.

Murray’s song is a good descriptor for the current news about the hMPV virus.  Why?

The human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is similar to the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and most of us have been exposed to hMPV before the age of 5.

Bulldog girls basketball falls to USV

Posted by Paula Scott on Wednesday, January 29, 2025

By Cort Reynolds

ADA __ The Ada High School girls basketball team fell victim to a three-point barrage by traditional arch-rival Upper Scioto Valley in a 51-39 defeat Tuesday, January 28.

USV drained 11 three-point goals to spell the difference in the outcome. The Ram girls nailed three triples to spark a first-half ending 11-2 run. USV then drilled three more treys in the third period, including a four-point play, to build a 20-point lead.

Ada gamely fought back with a 15-point fourth period, but the deficit was too big to overcome.
