Two months after the first discovery of COVID-19, the specific strain of coronavirus that surfaced at the end of 2019 in China, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention warned of a possible pandemic. It’s one that could cause “severe” disruptions in the United States.“The difference between COVID-19 and other typical coronaviruses is that it seems to be causing more episodes of pneumonia and people are getting a lot sicker,” said Dr. Michelle Barron, Medical Director of Infection Prevention at the University of Colorado Hospital. The announcement was met with some panic – people began discussions of stockpiling.“They said to be prepared and I think preparation is something we do all the time, we just don’t think of it in the context of an infectious disease,” Dr. Barron said. Barron says that in order to prepare, you don’t need to do any more than you normally would preparing for something like a big storm. “Have a plan be ready to go so that you have a baby sitter or someone that needs help from you has another access.”Dr. Barron said she does not foresee Americans facing a shortage of food or medications at this time. “The biggest thing that’s already been affected is our ability to travel. We live in a global world. People are on planes, trains and going places all the time,” she said. The CDC also said Americans should prepare for what’s called “community transmission.” “When you start seeing cases in the community, you start having a lot more community transmission where it’s not just associated with travel. I think there will be disruptions in the sense that big events that were planned might start to get canceled. Schools may or may not cancel for a certain period of time if there’s a certain number of cases in the school, just like we do now with norovirus or when there’s big outbreaks of flu,” Dr. Barron said. This could also have an impact on the goods available in the U.S., as part of the global market. “The term pandemic means it’s worldwide,” said Dr. Alex Padilla, a Professor of Economics at the Metropolitan State University of Denver. “Investors are very worried because again the supply chain is very complex which means if it becomes a pandemic, it becomes much more difficult to produce goods that are complex and assembled and produced in different countries.” “Certainly, supply chain is always an issue in a pandemic event, we saw this back during H1N1 in the U.S, and saw it during the Ebola crisis, where personal protective equipment became short in supply,” said Patrick Conroy, the Director of Safety at UCHealth. “I don’t know if any country could ever be truly fully prepared for the next novel virus or pandemic. We certainly have a framework in place.” At the University of Colorado Hospital and other health facilities across the U.S., they have special pathogens units where they can take high risk patients. They use special equipment to keep any infections from spreading. “The airflow helps keep any germs or bacteria from entering the suit,” said Mark Yoder, Nurse Manager for the Intensive Care Unit at the University of Colorado Hospital. He displayed how nurses stay protected in airtight suits while caring for infectious patients. Like with any illness, Dr. Barron said there are ways you can prevent yourself from getting sick, like carrying hand sanitizer and washing your hands often. “I think preparation is always a good idea. Having things that are critical to your needs is always a good idea. I think the situation is very fluid, it could change very rapidly,” she said. “Don’t let the headlines put you in a state where you think you can’t do anything.”“People confuse pandemic with Zombieland. They think the entire world is turning into Zombieland and everything is coming to a stop. That’s not the way it is,” Dr. Alex Padilla said. 3843

A former Michigan high school resource officer was sentenced to one year in jail after being convicted of sexually assaulting three female students.Former Lansing Police Department Officer Matthew Priebe, 35, pleaded no contest to five charges in connection to three victims, including criminal sexual conduct against a minor, two counts of assault, misconduct in office, and attempted criminal sexual conduct. A no contest plea results in a conviction without the defendant admitting guilt.A sixth charge for sending sexually explicit material to a minor was dropped as a part of his plea deal, according to court records.Ingham County Judge Joyce Draganchuk also sentenced Priebe to five years of probation, and he is required to register with the Michigan Sex Offender Registry for 25 years according to court documents.The sentence was the maximum allowed under Priebe's plea agreement."To say you violated your role as a police officer would be an understatement," Judge Draganchuk said to Priebe at his sentencing Tuesday, according to 1054

A firefighter who died on September 11 was laid to rest Tuesday after his remains were identified 18 years later.Firefighters and loved ones gathered to mourn Michael Haub after his remains were conclusively identified, the Uniformed Firefighters Association said in a statement. It said the service was to provide his family with closure and a peace of mind after the medical examiner last week identified more of his remains that were recovered at Ground Zero.As of July this year, the remains of only about 60% of the 2,753 people killed at the World Trade Center that day have been positively identified, according to the medical examiner's office.Haub was a 13-year veteran of Ladder Company 4, according to the association."We remember him and the 342 other firefighters who perished that fateful day, and will be forever grateful for the courage they show," it said in a statement Tuesday.In addition to the firefighters killed that day, hundreds more have died in the following years. New York officials say an additional 200 firefighters have lost their lives from illnesses linked to their time working at the World Trade Center after the terror attacks on September 11, 2001."It is almost incomprehensible that after losing 343 members on September 11, we have now had 200 more FDNY members die due to World Trade Center illness," Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said in July. "These heroes gave their lives bravely fighting to rescue and recover others. We will never forget them."Exposure to the 9/11 terror attacks may have caused a range of health conditions, including acute traumatic injuries, as well as diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Those exposed to the attacks also developed cancers that include lymphoma, leukemia and myeloma, it said.On September 11, 2001, 19 men hijacked four fuel-loaded US commercial airplanes bound for west coast destinations. A total of 2,977 people were killed in New York City, Washington, DC and outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania.The attack was orchestrated by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. 2137

With international borders closed, the final step of the process for adoptive parents have been put on hold. Many adoptive parents in the United States are unable to fly to other countries to bring their child home. “We’re in the process of adopting an 11-year-old girl from Columbia. Her name is Maria Camila,” Gwen Christensen said.Seth and Gwen Christensen spent years making this decision and filling out all the paperwork. “We went down there in March, the middle of March to adopt her, and finish everything up,” Gwen said. However, they were a few days too late, in terms of bringing home their child.“Then there was news they were closing the airport for international flights that following Monday, which started to make us realize ‘oh my goddess we’re not going to be done by Monday,” Seth explained. “And we have three kids back here [in the U.S.],” Gwen added. Days before they were scheduled to fly home with Maria Camila, courts closed across all of Colombia.“Everything was just going swimmingly until they shut down all the courts in the whole country,” Gwen said. This halted the official adoption process.“That Thursday night the lawyer said we think you should leave,” Gwen said. “That was a really, really hard night.” On Friday, they took Maria Camila back to her group home. “It was awful, but she was old enough,” Gwen explained. “We cried and she was like ok, going back for a couple months.” The Christensens flew back to the U.S. “I was glad to be back in the U.S., but it was really hard to be back without her,” Gwen said. The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic caused a lot of disruptions and halted a lot of international adoptions mid-process.“A year, we usually facilitate anywhere from 100 to 120 adoptions,” said Hollen Frazier, President of All God’s Children International. “So far, year-to-date since January, we’ve only had 12 children be able to make their way home to families.” The agency facilitates adoptions from a number of countries, including the adoption of Maria Camila. “For many of these families even to get to the point of travel to bring their child home, they've been already in it for two plus years,” Frazier said. “China was where we saw COVID-19 really take root early on in January and February, which has affected a lot of our families and adoption processes. And then in March, we saw that really take off and expand to really the world and in all seven of the countries we have adoption programs in,” Frazier explained.She said they’ve seen matching of parents with children really slow down since the pandemic started. “We went down another 26 percent over last year in the number of international adoptions,” Frazier said. This makes her concerned, as everything deemed non-essential is closed.“A lot of the countries we work in, the social services children need to be safe and then thrive, they’re not being deemed as essential,” she said. But some emerging options give her hope.“We’re really looking at new ways in utilizing technology to leverage and expand the work we’re doing,” Frazier said. For example, usually Haiti adoptive parents have to go on two trips to the country – the first is a socialization period, and then months later they go back for a final trip. But with technology, that has changed.“The Haitian Central Authority announced they'll allow that first trip to happen via Zoom,” Frazier explained. She said this is a step in the right direction. “It is hopeful to see some countries are now starting to really think through ways we can continue to progress these adoptions, so we are being child-centered and focused on how we can get these kids home,” she said. As for Seth and Gwen, they keep in touch with Maria Camila via video chat, until the day Colombian borders and the legal system open up again.“We want to be able to bring her home and start having her new life,” Gwen said.  3897
