Flesh Eating Bacteria Infects Five People Through Exposure In Long Island Sound

All five patients, ages 49 to 85, had pre-existing wounds or were injured during swimming, crabbing, or boating before getting infected. Two patients suffered infections in their bloodstream, and three suffered serious wound infections.

“This suggests the Vibrio bacteria may be present in salt or brackish water in or near Long Island Sound, and people should take precautions,” Cartter said. A young couple sitting on the rocky jetty by the Long Island Sound, with New York City's Throgs Neck Bridge in the background.

Belarus: 400 protesters detained during ‘March of Heroes’

Riot police arrested more than 400 people as tens of thousands of anti-government protestors took to the streets of Minsk during the “March of Heroes” on Sunday. Dozens were immediately transferred to prison as rights groups complained of police brutality.

The rally was dedicated to Maria Kolesnikova, a jailed opposition leader, and other members of the democracy movement.

Belarus has been rocked by five weeks of protests after president Alexander Lukashenko, who has led the country since 1994, won a landslide victory in the August 9 election. The vote was denounced by EU officials, and forced Lukashenko to look to Moscow for support.

The opposition says that Lukashenko’s main challenger, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, was the rightful winner and wants new elections. Tikhanovskaya, who fled to Lithuania after the vote, won only about 10% to Lukashenko’s 80%, according to the election committee.

Human rights activists have repeatedly accused Belarusian riot police of brutally suppressing peaceful marches in the country. The government has denied the claims.

The interior ministry said that “around 250 people” had been detained on Saturday, for offenses like displaying the banned red-and-white flag and banners, “including an insulting one”.

Caputo Accuses Scientists Of ‘Sedition,’ Warns Of Leftist Revolt – (live streamed on Facebook? Drunk, drugged or both?)

Michael Caputo, assistant secretary of public affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services, claimed Sunday that there is a “resistance unit” of “seditious” government scientists at the CDC working to undermine President Donald Trump.

They “haven’t gotten out of their sweatpants except for meetings at coffee shops” to plot “how they’re going to attack Donald Trump,” Caputo added. “There are scientists who work for this government who do not want America to get well, not until after Joe Biden is president.”

He made the claims, as recorded by the New York Times, in a histrionic Facebook livestream where he additionally claimed that his own life is at risk.

“You understand that they’re going to have to kill me, and unfortunately, I think that’s where this is going,” he told his followers, building into a dramatic tangent about the “shadows on the ceiling in my apartment, there alone, shadows are so long.”

Caputo, using language most often found in the fever swamps of QAnon messaging boards, has also been retweeting baseless conspiracies theorizing about the supposed coming insurrection.

Jerry Brown on a California Exodus: ‘Tell Me: Where Are You Going to Go?’

“Tell me: Where are you going to go?” Mr. Brown continued. “What’s your alternative? Maybe Canada. You’re going to go to places like Iowa, where you have intensifying tornadoes? The fact is, we have a global crisis that has been mounting and the scientists have been telling us about. For the most part, it’s been ignored. Now we have a graphic example.” From his ranch, the former California governor is experiencing the same smoky air wafting through much of the state. “We are causing this,” he declared in an interview.

The Arctic Is Shifting to a New Climate Because of Global Warming

Dr. Landrum said that Arctic communities are already suffering from the changes. Eroding coastlines are forcing some Alaska Native villages to consider relocating. Other changes are affecting the food supply. Warmer storms that bring rain on existing snow, for example, can lead to starvation of the animals Indigenous groups rely on.

“Arctic climate change is not in the future for them,” she said. “It’s now.”

Open water and rain, rather than ice and snow, are becoming typical of the region, a new study has found.
