With November being "National COPD Awareness Month,” experts urge patients who suffer from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease to verify their treatment plans, and to be diligent about COVID-19 precautions.Seventy-one-year-old Janice Cotton is a self-proclaimed "advocate for COPD-ERS." Her advocacy is all over YouTube. She says, “Oh, I think so!.. I think I’m a YouTube star.”Cotton said she likes to tell her story, and while full of personality, her road to advocacy wasn't easy.“In 1997, my mom died from COPD,” Cotton said. “We didn’t know what it was. We had no idea. The last thing she said was, ‘Janice, please stop smoking.’”She said she smoked a pack a day for more than 40 years. Even after being diagnosed with COPD, she says she still smoked.“I didn’t quit smoking when he told me, because when I went into the office to get the test, I was told you’ll be dead in 10 years so I said, ‘What the heck? I may as well keep smoking,’” Cotton said.Eventually, she quit, and now urges others to do the same.Does Cotton still crave tobacco?“Oh no way Jose. Not at all; I don’t crave it,” Cotton said. “I don’t think about it. I tell people who are thinking about smoking, I say, 'Put a straw in your mouth, toothpick, something, anything but a cigarette.'”“This is a treatable disease,” said Dr. Tom Corbridge, pulmonologist, a faculty member at the University of Northwestern near Chicago, and GlaxoSmithKline medical expert. “It is a progressive illness but it's also a treatable illness and the sooner you get in, the sooner you connect with a trusted healthcare provider, the sooner you can get help to restore some of the things you’ve lost.”He says COPD is an umbrella term for chronic lung disease, which include things like emphysema and chronic bronchitis. He says there are 27 million patients with COPD in the U.S. and it's the fourth-leading cause of death.“The main symptom that COPD causes (is) shortness of breath," Corbridge said. It's "hallmark symptom that would be worse with exertion, but also cough, raising of phlegm or mucous and wheezing are really the hallmarks of the disease.”Those symptoms, he said, can be complicated by COVID-19.“The pandemic has impacted my life and my disease management,” Cotton said. “So many of us were scared (of) death and afraid and didn’t want to go anywhere, didn’t want anybody to come see you.”In a recent GlaxoSmithKline study, 83% of people living with COPD agree that COVID-19 has been a wake-up call about the vulnerability of the illness. But, Cotton said she's using her voice to make sure all COPD patients are diligent about things like face masks, hand washing and social distancing. She also recommends having what she calls an "action plan" with your doctor.“I want people to understand and realize that knowledge is power. The more you investigate and research, the better off you’ll be when it comes to managing COPD,” Cotton said.Doctors say the most important aspect is staying in touch with your physicians and staying on top of your symptoms. 3035

-- and even in your cup of tea.Plastic tea bags are shedding billions of shards of microplastics into their water, according to a new study.Researchers at McGill University in Canada analyzed the effects of placing four different commercial tea bags into boiling water.They found that a single bag releases around 11.6 billion microplastic particles, and 3.1 billion even smaller nanoplastic particles, into the cup -- thousands of times higher than the amount of plastic previously found in other food and drink.The health effects of drinking these particles are unknown, according to the 591

-- or stand your ground laws -- as part of their defense, since Guyger believed she was in her own apartment. Guyger's actions were reasonable, defense attorneys said, and any ordinary person could have made the same mistake in a similar situation."The law recognizes that mistakes can be made. It's always tragic. The law's not perfect. It's tragic, but you have to follow this law," attorney Toby Shook told the jury.Shook urged jurors to look at the case "calmly" and not decide on emotion, sympathy, or public pressure. "But you have to use the discipline not to do that," he said."That's hard, especially in a case like this," he added. "You'll never see a case like this, that's so tragic. So tragic. It's hard to do as jurors. Who would not have sympathy for Botham Jean? Wonderful human being -- died in these horrible, tragic circumstances. Who would not have sympathy for his family or anyone in that position? Everyone does, but that is not part of your consideration as a jury."Prosecutors argued self-defense is thin legally because Guyger was not in her own home. She acted disproportionately, prosecutors said, and had less lethal options available, like using her stun gun or mace, rather than acting immediately with deadly force."Self-defense is an option of last resort. She killed him unreasonably and unjustifiably," said lead prosecutor Jason Hermus.The self defense argument should apply to Jean, not Guyger, they said. "It's not her apartment. There was not force. It's not occupied. She doesn't need castle doctrine," said Assistant District Attorney Jason Fine. "No. This law is not in place for her, it's in place for Bo."Hermus argued it was "absolutely unreasonable" that Guyger missed numerous signs, including a bright red doormat outside Jean's door, that indicated she was at the wrong apartment.Hermus had the final word in closing arguments, walking right up to Guyger in her seat, pointing at her, looking her in the eye, and forcefully urging the jury to tell Guyger: "You will be held responsible for what you did and whether or not you want to accept responsibility, it will be forced upon you."And by God in Dallas County, Texas," he continued, "there will be a consequence for you walking in and shooting an unarmed, defenseless man." 2276

-- made the initial call to 911 Friday about 10 a.m. ET. A second call came from another person at the scene who reported a medical emergency involving a large bird, said Lt. Joshua Crews of the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.Hajos was transported to a nearby hospital, where he died, the lieutenant said. The cassowary remains on Hajos' property as authorities conduct an investigation into the attack, he said.The owner was a breeder of the rare bird that is native to Australia and New Guinea, Alachua County Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Taylor said.The death was an accident, officials said. It appears the man fell, and the cassowary attacked him after the fall, Taylor said.The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission considers cassowaries Class II wildlife, meaning they pose a danger to humans and are subject to specific cage requirements.

at the General Motors plant in Spring Hill as the United Automobile Workers strike continues. Between 7 and 9 people were arrested, according to Mark Herron, Chairman of UAW's Local Chapter 1853."They weren't aggressive; they were just going ahead and making a point," Herron said.The demonstrators were asked to move by law enforcement, Herron went on to say."At the end of the day, these men and women in uniform don't want you to get hurt," Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles, said. Ogles said he supports the strike but doesn't want to see anyone get hurt.Nearly 50,000 workers nationwide — including 3,300 workers at the Spring Hill plant — went on strike at midnight Monday after contract negotiations broke down between GM and the UAW. Union leaders say GM pulled the plug on healthcare benefits without warning."It was a low blow and unnecessary." Ogles said."Suddenly, when that healthcare was dropped, it put a lot of people in jeopardy." Herron said. "People are waiting on organ transplants. We have pregnant mothers." Herron added three employees needed chemo treatments as of this morning.The three-day strike has already started to affect production in other countries. GM has placed about 1,200 workers on temporary layoff at a Canadian factory that makes pickup trucks.This story was originally published by Caroline Sutton and Lisa Reyes on 1357
