根據美聯儲周五公布的數據，美國消費者借貸在4月份增加的幅度遠低於預期，其中信用卡餘額首次在三年內下降。整體信貸增加64億美元，而在經濟學家的彭博調查中，中位預測為100億美元增加。循環信用，包括信用卡，下降4.62億美元，非循環信貸，如汽車購買和學費貸款，增加69億美元，為自2023年6月以來最高水平。汽車銷售在該月有所提振。信託銀行的數據顯示，3.2%的未償還債務存在不同階段的拖欠情況。盡管比2019年第四季度低1.5個百分點，但根據聯儲的數據，所有產品類型的拖欠轉換率都有所增加。這可能解釋了最近消費支出的回落。4月份，調整通脹後的家庭支出下降了0.1%，因貨物購買下降，服務支出趨於穩定。

A study by Stanford University researchers found that a 15-day course of Pfizer's COVID-19 antiviral treatment, Paxlovid, did not alleviate symptoms of long COVID.

While the study indicated Paxlovid's safety over a 15-day period, it did not demonstrate efficacy in treating long COVID. Pfizer stated that these results will not affect their ongoing collaborative studies on Paxlovid as a potential treatment for long COVID, despite funding the trial.
