Tha do thaic gar cuideachadh gus an sgeulachd innse
Bho chòraichean gintinn gu atharrachadh clìomaid gu Huge Tech, tha The Impartial air an talamh nuair a tha an sgeulachd a’ leasachadh. Co-dhiù a tha e a’ sgrùdadh ionmhas an pro-Trump PAC aig Elon Musk no a’ toirt a-mach am prògram aithriseach as ùire againn, ‘The A Phrase’, a tha a’ deàrrsadh air na boireannaich Ameireaganach a tha a’ strì airson còraichean gintinn, tha fios againn cho cudromach sa tha e na fìrinnean a sgrùdadh. teachdaireachdan.
Aig àm cho èiginneach ann an eachdraidh nan SA, tha feum againn air luchd-aithris air an talamh. Leigidh an tabhartas agad leinn cumail oirnn a’ cur luchd-naidheachd gus bruidhinn ri gach taobh den sgeulachd.
Tha earbsa aig Ameireaganaich thar an speactram poilitigeach gu lèir anns an Impartial. Agus eu-coltach ri mòran ionadan naidheachdan càileachd eile, tha sinn a’ roghnachadh gun a bhith a’ glasadh Ameireaganaich a-mach às an aithris is mion-sgrùdadh againn le ballachan pàighidh. Tha sinn den bheachd gum bu chòir naidheachdas càileachd a bhith ri fhaighinn leis a h-uile duine, le pàigheadh air a shon leis an fheadhainn as urrainn a phàigheadh.
Bidh an taic agad a’ dèanamh diofar mòr.
Tha seusan flù na SA a’ dol air adhart, le cùisean a’ dol suas air feadh mòran den dùthaich, thuirt oifigearan slàinte Dihaoine.
Tha an Ionadan airson Smachd agus Bacadh Galar thug iad fa-near àrdachadh geur ann an grunn cheumannan, a’ toirt a-steach deuchainnean obair-lann agus tadhal air seòmraichean èiginn.
“Tha e air a bhith a’ dol suas aig astar gu math seasmhach a-nis airson na grunn sheachdainean a dh’ fhalbh. Mar sin seadh, tha sinn gu cinnteach ann an seusan a’ chnatain mhòir a-nis, ”thuirt Alicia Budd bhon CDC.
Dh ’innis trì stàitean deug ìrean àrda no fìor àrd de thinneas coltach ris a’ chnatan mhòr an t-seachdain sa chaidh, timcheall air a dhà uiread bhon t-seachdain roimhe. Tha aon Tennesseefar a bheil spìc tinneas a’ bualadh air sgìre Nashville, thuirt an Dr Uilleam Schaffner, eòlaiche air galairean gabhaltach aig Oilthigh Vanderbilt.
“cnatan mòr air a bhith a’ dol am meud, ach dìreach an t-seachdain sa chaidh air spreadhadh, ”thuirt Schaffner. Thug e fa-near, ann an clionaig ionadail a tha na chomharradh air gluasadan tinneas, gu bheil comharran cnatan mòr aig suas ri cairteal de na h-euslaintich.
“Is e dìreach an t-seachdain search engine optimization dha-rìribh an t-àite tionndaidh sin far a bheil daoine a-muigh air sgàth a’ chnatain mhòir,” thuirt an Dr Catherine O’Neal, dotair galairean gabhaltach aig an ospadal prìobhaideach as motha san stàit, Ionad Meidigeach Roinneil Our Girl of the Lake ann am Baton Rouge.
Gu dearbh, tha grunn bhiteagan ann a dh’ adhbhraicheas fiabhras, casadaich, amhach ghoirt agus comharran eile coltach ris a’ chnatan mhòr. Tha aon dhiubh COVID-19. Is e concern eile RSV, no bhìoras syncytial analach, a tha na adhbhar cumanta airson comharraidhean coltach ri fuachd ach a dh’ fhaodadh a bhith cunnartach dha leanaban is seann daoine.
Tha an dàta CDC as ùire a’ sealltainn gu bheil ospadalan COVID-19 air a bhith a’ crìonadh bhon t-samhradh. Tha gnìomhachd COVID-19 ìosal gu nàiseanta, ach àrd anns a ’Midwest, a rèir dàta uisge sgudail CDC.
Thòisich ospadalan RSV ag èirigh ron chnatan mhòr agus a-nis tha comharran ann gum faodadh iad a dhol suas, ach tha iad fhathast beagan nas cumanta na faighinn a-steach don chnatan mhòr. Gu h-iomlan, tha gnìomhachd RSV ìosal gu nàiseanta, ach àrd anns a’ cheann a deas, a rèir dàta uisge sgudail.
Dh ’ainmich an CDC toiseach seusan a’ chnatain mhòir stèidhichte air grunn chomharran, a’ toirt a-steach toraidhean obair-lann airson euslaintich ann an ospadalan agus oifisean dotair, agus an àireamh sa cheud de thadhalan roinnean èiginneach a fhuair breithneachadh air a’ chnatan mhòr.
Tha e coltach nach eil smachd air a’ chnatan mhòr, agus tha e ro thràth san t-seusan gus faighinn a-mach dè cho math ‘s a bhios banachdach a’ chnatain mhòir, thuirt Budd.
Bha seusan flù a’ gheamhraidh an-uiridh air a mheas “meadhanach” gu h-iomlan, ach bha e fada – 21 seachdainean – agus bha an CDC den bheachd gun robh 28,000 bàs co-cheangailte ris a’ chnatan mhòr. Bha e neo-àbhaisteach cunnartach dha clann, le 205 bàs péidiatraiceach air aithris. B’ e sin an àireamh as àirde a chaidh aithris a-riamh airson seusan àbhaisteach a’ chnatain mhòir.
Tha coltas gu robh an seusan fada na fhactar, thuirt Budd. B’ e adhbhar eile dìth banachdachan a’ chnatain mhòir. Am measg na cloinne a bhàsaich a bha sean gu leòr airson banachdachan a’ chnatain mhòir – agus air an robh fios mun inbhe banachdach aca – cha robh 80% làn bhanachdach, a rèir an CDC.
Tha ìrean banachdachaidh airson clann eadhon nas ìsle am-bliadhna. Air 7 Dùbhlachd, bha mu 41% de dh’inbhich air banachdach a’ chnatain mhòir fhaighinn, coltach ris an ìre aig an aon àm an-uiridh. Tha an àireamh sa cheud an aon rud airson clann, ach dhaibhsan tha sin nas ìsle na bliadhna air ais, nuair a fhuair 44% a’ bhanachdach an-aghaidh a’ chnatain mhòir, a rèir dàta CDC.
Tha ìrean banachdach nas ìsle fhathast an aghaidh COVID-19, le timcheall air 21% de dh’ inbhich agus 11% de chloinn ùraichte.
Tha eòlaichean cnatan mòr a’ moladh gum faigh a h-uile duine banachdach, gu sònraichte leis gu bheil daoine ag ullachadh airson a dhol gu cruinneachaidhean saor-làithean far am faod bhìorasan analach sgaoileadh gu farsaing.
“Tha na cruinneachaidhean sin uile a tha cho blàth is spòrsail agus toilichte cuideachd nan cothrom don bhìoras search engine optimization sgaoileadh bho dhuine gu duine,” thuirt Schaffner. “Chan eil e ro fhadalach a’ bhanachdach fhaighinn.”

A species of seabird hit by a devastating avian flu outbreak is making a “painfully gradual restoration” at Shetland’s nationwide nature reserves.
NatureScot reported a slight enhance within the variety of nice skua at Hermaness and Noss nationwide nature reserves (NNRs), however mentioned it might take “years, if not a long time” to get again to pre-virus ranges.
The total census of the species, for which Shetland is a world stronghold, was carried out as a part of a probe into how populations are faring following the H5N1 influenza pressure outbreak of 2022.
At Hermaness, 220 breeding pairs of the chicken – also called bonxie – had been counted.
It is a small enhance from the 208 in 2023 however nonetheless down 77% on the 955 counted in 2018, which was the final full census earlier than the outbreak.
The Noss rely reported 80 pairs, which was an increase from 69 final yr however a drastic decline of 83% from the 476 reported in 2018.

Though a full rely was not carried out this yr, NatureScot additionally reported a slight enhance within the variety of gannets at Hermaness.
But it surely estimated that the earlier upward pattern within the species’ numbers has been set again by 20 years on the reserve.
Gannets reached 29,562 nests in 2021 pre-chicken flu however had been right down to 18,739 nests on the final census in 2023.
NatureScot reported just one optimistic case of avian flu in seabird populations on the reserves throughout breeding season.
Nevertheless, workers stay “vigilant” in response to a small variety of optimistic assessments in nice black-backed gull and bonxie on the finish of the season.
NatureScot mentioned these have been confirmed because the H5N5 pressure of avian flu, not the H5N1 pressure of 2022.
Juan Brown, NatureScot operations officer, mentioned: “This yr’s seabird census reveals the continuing influence of the avian flu outbreak in 2022 and the painfully gradual restoration of those populations that are prone to take years, if not a long time, to succeed in pre-outbreak ranges as soon as once more.
“In distinction to latest years, the small variety of optimistic avian flu assessments we’ve had this yr have all been the H5N5 pressure of the virus, quite than H5N1.
“Whereas we do not but know what the influence of H5N5 might be on wild chicken populations, we’re conserving a detailed eye on the state of affairs and encourage individuals to report all sightings of sick or lifeless birds utilizing the net reporting system.
“Sightings will assist us monitor the unfold of the virus and assess impacts on wild chicken populations.”

Thathas ag iarraidh air daoine ion-roghnach an atharrachadh mu dheireadh aca a dhèanamh gus jabs a’ chnatain mhòir a ghlèidheadh air-loidhne anns na làithean a tha romhainn gus a sheachnadh am ‘flù na Nollaige’ air thoiseach air an Nollaig.
Tha ceannardan SNS ag ràdh gum bi e coltach gum feum daoine siubhal nas fhaide gus a’ bhanachdach fhaighinn ma chailleas iad an “seòmar mu dheireadh” de chlàraidhean air-loidhne, a dhùineas air 20 Dùbhlachd.
Fhad ‘s a tha còrr air leth mhillean cnatan mòr agus COVID chaidh banachdachan a ghlèidheadh anns na còig seachdainean a dh’ fhalbh, an àrdachadh nas tràithe na bha dùil de bhìorasan ràitheil air àrdachadh 70 sa cheud a-steach don ospadal co-cheangailte ris a’ chnatan mhòr thairis air seachd latha air a’ mhìos web optimization.
Thuirt Steve Russell, stiùiriche nàiseanta airson banachdachan agus sgrìonadh aig NHS Shasainn: “Le dìreach trì latha ri dhol, tha sinn a-nis anns an t-seòmar mu dheireadh airson dìon a bharrachd a ghlèidheadh an-aghaidh ‘flù na Nollaige’ tron t-seirbheis air-loidhne.
“Tha e cudromach cuimhneachadh gur dòcha gum feum thu siubhal beagan nas fhaide às deidh Diardaoin gus grèim fhaighinn, le coinneamhan gun a bhith ann an àiteachan cho goireasach mar mòr-bhùthan no pàircean chàraichean.”
Thuirt Mgr Russell gu bheil banachdachan chan ann a-mhàin gar dìon fhèin bho thinneas ach cuideachd a’ cuideachadh le bhith a’ dìon charaidean is theaghlaichean, a’ toirt a-steach luchd-gràidh a tha ag obair thairis air na saor-làithean ann an obraichean nach eil a’ toirt seachad pàigheadh tinn.
As ùire SNS tha figearan a’ sealltainn gun do dh’aidich ospadalan gu cuibheasach de 1,861 euslaintich leis a’ chnatan mhòr gach latha san t-seachdain gu 10 Dùbhlachd, suas bho 1,099 anns na seachd latha roimhe.
Bha inntrigidhean norovirus agus bhìoras co-cheangailte ri analach (RSV) cuideachd a’ dol am meud, le cùisean norovirus suas 10 sa cheud air an t-seachdain roimhe fhad ‘s a bha cùisean RSV 64 sa cheud nas àirde na anns an aon ùine an-uiridh.
Bha àrdachadh air a bhith ann an clàradh banachdach a’ chnatain mhòir às deidh rabhaidhean SNS mu “tonn làn-mara” de chùisean flù a’ gheamhraidh a’ tighinn, ach thuirt prìomh chomhairliche meidigeach aig Buidheann Tèarainteachd Slàinte na RA Susan Hopkins nach eil ìrean banachdach am measg prìomh bhuidhnean fhathast air na h-ìrean as fheàrr a ruighinn.
“Tha e deatamach gun gabh an fheadhainn a tha airidh air a’ bhanachdach an-asgaidh bhon chnatan mhòr agus COVID-19 ron Nollaig,” thuirt i.
“Cuiridh gabhail ris a’ bhanachdach stad air na planaichean ràitheil agad a chuir ann an cunnart – agus nas cudromaiche, cuiridh e casg air cunnart bho dhroch thinneas agus ospadal.”
Am measg nan daoine a tha airidh air banachdach an-asgaidh tha boireannaich a tha trom le leanabh, clann aois 2 no 3 air 31 Lùnastal am-bliadhna, clann aois bun-sgoile agus àrd-sgoile, daoine aois 65 no nas sine, daoine eadar 18 agus 65 ann am buidhnean cunnairt clionaigeach, agus daoine ann an dachaighean cùraim còmhnaidh fad-ùine.
Tha luchd-obrach cùraim aghaidh nach eil air an còmhdach le sgeama fo stiùir fastaiche a’ toirt a-steach luchd-obrach cùram còmhnaidheach cuideachd ion-roghnach, agus chaidh banachdachan COVID-19 agus flù a thabhann do luchd-obrach aghaidh SNS.
