The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo's North Kivu province claimed more lives as the country's Health Ministry announced on Thursday a new death in the city of Mabalako.At least 37 people have died so far in this latest outbreak, the 10th for country.Ebola cases have also been reported in the towns of Beni, Butembo, Oicha, Musienene and Mandima, according to Congo's Health Ministry.A total of 44 cases of hemorrhagic fever have been reported in the region, of which 17 are confirmed and 27 are probable, the ministry said in a statement Thursday. An additional 54 suspected cases are under investigation, the ministry said.On Tuesday, the World Health Organization confirmed that the latest cases in Congo's North Kivu province are part of the Zaire strain of the virus and that there is no link to a separate outbreak, which occurred in the western Equateur province that has since been declared over."It's good news and it's very bad news," WHO Deputy Director-General for Emergency Preparedness and Response Peter Salama told journalists in Geneva, after the new cases were first confirmed."The bad news is that this strain of Ebola carries with it the highest case-fatality-rate of any of the strains of Ebola, anywhere above 50% and higher, according to previous outbreaks," he said. "So, it's the most-deadly variant of the Ebola virus strains that we have, that's the bad news. The good news is that we do have -- although it's still an investigational product -- a safe and effective vaccine, that we were able to deploy last time around."According to WHO, this outbreak, which is in an active conflict zone, will be more complicated to contain than any that came before.Experts believe an experimental vaccine, known as rVSV-ZEBOV, made a difference in containing the earlier outbreak and vaccinations are under way in North Kivu, WHO said. A total of 3,220 doses of the vaccine are currently available in Congo and supplementary doses have been requested, WHO said.First line health workers, who had been in contact with people who were confirmed cases of Ebola, were the first to be vaccinated, WHO said."Vaccines are an important tool in the fight against Ebola," Congo's Health Minister, Oly Ilunga, said on Wednesday. "This is why it has been a priority to move them rapidly into place to begin protecting our health workers and the affected population."North Kivu province is among Congo's most populated provinces, with eight million inhabitants, according to WHO and UN. Its capital is the city of Goma. The region has been experiencing intense insecurity and a worsening humanitarian crisis, with over one million internally displaced people and a continuous outflow of refugees to neighboring countries, including Uganda, Burundi and Tanzania.WHO is working with partners in the local communities to provide information to residents on how to protect themselves from the deadly virus and answer their questions -- steps that are crucial to control an outbreak, said WHO.Congo's Health Ministry announced on August 1 that a cluster of new Ebola cases have been confirmed, just days after it declared an outbreak in Equateur province that claimed 33 lives had ended. That outbreak was the ninth recorded outbreak that Congo has seen since the virus was first discovered in 1976. 3324

"If local guidelines allow, in-person sales may also be available in certain areas, keeping girls’ safety top priority."The start of the yearly cookie season is typically in January. Still, the organization said the timing and product availability could vary, but you can check your local area to see about a specific cookie. 971

The coronavirus pandemic put the country on pause, but now that some cities and states are opening back up, what will that mean for the future of events?Kamron Khan has a lot of thoughts about that question. The professional photographer owns Kamron Khan Photography based in Cleveland and usually photographs large events, with hundreds of people that are booked a year or more in advance.That was until the novel coronavirus pandemic hit, and suddenly she found that one event after the next was rescheduled indefinitely or canceled all together.“It’s been really tough from thinking I was going to have one of my best years ever to no income,” said Khan.Everything from the 2020 Olympics to the remainder of the NBA season, the lights of Broadway to the lights of Hollywood – big events, and events that are only big to those involved have been postponed or canceled around the world.Khan, despite the drop in income, said she understands the caution.“I'm very concerned because I get a lot of these events that people are having, are big life moments - weddings to baby showers - you have all of these different types of things and you want to celebrate and I get that, but sometimes people just need to take a step back and realize ‘Hey you know what, why don't we celebrate next year? Why don’t we just keep it small, wait for things to die down?’ And I in no way think anyone's overreacting, but I would rather overreact and cancel things now than to have things go downhill and then it be much worse,” said Khan.She said right now she has a hard time imagining when events with hundreds of people will be commonplace again.“Right now, I can't until [infections] really change and really start going down in a downward trend. I can't even think about having these large gatherings and I think a lot of people don't want to anyway. Even if we were allowed to,” said Khan.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidance about big gatherings now and in the future. The CDC suggests that event organizers do things like provide supplies to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including hand sanitizer and disposable facemasks. The CDC also urged event organizers to discourage people who are vulnerable to the disease -- like older adults – from coming to events at all.The guidance also states that, “Organizers should continually assess, based on current conditions, whether to postpone, cancel, or significantly reduce the number of attendees (if possible) for mass gatherings.”Nick Borelli, a marketing and live event expert, said that at least in the next year or so, people should expect to see smaller, more local events. He said those first events will also likely have cultural significance – like a city’s celebration or a big concert – rather than a conference or trade show.Borelli also said that in order for people to gain confidence going to events again, any initial events would need to be successful - with no new infection clusters.“If [cultural events] happen, it will just happen with an increased amount of trust, knowing that people want things to be the way that they were. So there is the push for what the bias is a confirmation bias. They want things to be that way, they're just looking for it,” said Borelli.He also said that as far as virtual events go, it’s easy to see which events will likely stay virtual in the future by looking at how different industries are planning right now.“Weddings are being postponed with the hopes to come back as they were,” said Borelli. “Corporate is making a move to adjust things to the cliché of new normal, which at the very least, be a world of hybrid [partially online and partially in person] for quite some time and probably sticking to a percentage of that.”Those virtual events offer their own unique challenges and triumphs. There isn’t that real, in-person interaction, but there is the potential to reach more people who may not have been able to take time off or afford to go to a conference.Borelli also said right now offers a great opportunity to gather data about the events that are happening online right now – to better see what things work better virtually.“I think that depending on the data that we collect in this time, and then also in the time that comes next, we can potentially prove our value in a black and white way that we never able to before,” said Borelli.For those in the event industry right now Borelli acknowledged that there is pain and not everyone will survive. And for those who do survive, it will look and be different for a long time.Khan said her new normal will – among other things – mean wearing a mask for the foreseeable future.“For myself, I'll definitely be wearing a mask whether I'm photographing people inside or outside, I just want to,” said Khan. “Not just protect myself, but I want to show others how people look at me and realize I'm doing everything that I need to be doing.” 4928

The director of the Census Bureau says irregularities have been found during the numbers-crunching phase of the 2020 census. Thursday's announcement makes it less likely the statistical agency can meet a year-end deadline for handing in numbers used for divvying up congressional seats. The Census Bureau already was facing a shortened schedule of two and a half months for processing the data collected during the 2020 census — about half the time originally planned. “These types of processing anomalies have occurred in past censuses,” Census Bureau director Steven Dillingham said in a statement. “I am directing the Census Bureau to utilize all resources available to resolve this as expeditiously as possible. As it has been all along, our goal remains an accurate and statistically sound Census.”The Census Bureau wouldn’t say Thursday what the anomalies were or publicly state a new deadline for the apportionment numbers.Missing the Dec. 31 deadline for turning in the apportionment numbers would be a blow to President Donald Trump’s efforts to exclude people in the country illegally from being counted in the numbers used to determine how many congressional seats each state gets and how .5 trillion in federal spending is distributed.Once the president receives the numbers by the Dec. 31 deadline, the president has about a week or so from the start of the next Congress to transmit them to the House. If the Census Bureau delays turning in the apportionment numbers because of the processing problems, that transfer of the numbers could take place after President-elect Joe Biden takes office.Trump’s apportionment order has been found unlawful by three courts — in New York, California and Maryland. The Justice Department has appealed to the Supreme Court, which is hearing arguments at the end of the month. 1835

The Environmental Protection Agency confirmed Monday the content of internal EPA emails that appear to contradict EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt's claim he didn't know about or authorize big pay raises for two close aides.However, an EPA spokeswoman said there was no evidence in the emails that Pruitt knew about the pay raises.The Atlantic reported last Monday that Pruitt requested pay raises for "two of his closest aides," in March, a request the White House declined, according to a source with knowledge of the discussion. EPA then used an obscure provision to give the staffers, Sarah Greenwalt and Millan Hupp, the raises.On Wednesday, Pruitt told Fox News, "I did not know that they got the pay raises until (Tuesday)."The EPA spokeswoman confirmed to CNN an email exchange, also first reported by The Atlantic, between Greenwalt and the human resources department at the EPA. She previously worked with Pruitt in the Oklahoma attorney general's office.In one of the emails, EPA's human resources department tells Greenwalt that it processed her title change. When Greenwalt asks what her salary increase was, the department told her there was no increase in her salary. Greenwalt responded that the administrator indicated she should have one, referring to a salary increase."There's no way to prove what she said is true; a lot of people say the administrator said this or that," said the EPA spokeswoman, who reached out to CNN to explain the emails.The spokeswoman confirmed she saw the emails and confirmed the content of the emails. No specific dollar amount for the raise was mentioned in the email exchange, according to the spokeswoman."While she may claim that the administrator knows about her raise, there is no email proof that I've seen, or communications or documents from Scott Pruitt to HR or to (Greenwalt) about that particular raise," the spokeswoman said.On Monday, EPA chief of staff Ryan Jackson said in a statement to The Atlantic that he is taking responsibility for the raises and that Pruitt "had zero knowledge of the amount of the raises, nor the process by which they transpired."The EPA spokeswoman confirmed the existence of a second email from the liaison between the White House and EPA to the agency's human resources department expressing concerns from the White House about such significant raises, but noting that the administrator had indicated to move forward with it.In an effort to explain that email, the spokeswoman said despite the content of the second email, what that person really meant was "the administrator's office," not the administrator himself, decided to go ahead with the raises.Pruitt has come under increasing fire in recent weeks as reports steadily uncover extensive spending on travel and other potentially major ethical lapses, including an agreement to rent a room in Washington for only a night from a lobbyist couple whose firm lobbies the EPA.President Donald Trump said last Thursday he still had confidence in Pruitt.  3015
