When we hear our phone go off and see an unknown number, we're not very likely to answer, but that habit is creating some issues for contact tracers.People are hired to get in touch with anyone who's been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19.With people not answering calls from contact tracers, controlling the coronavirus becomes more difficult.But it doesn't mean contact tracers give up.“In some cases, when contact tracers call someone, and that person is uncomfortable talking to them on the phone, in some counties, they will actually send someone to that person's home to conduct an in-person interview, if they're more comfortable doing that,” said Steve Waters, founder and CEO of CONTRACE.Even when contact tracers do manage to get someone on the phone, it can be difficult to get information from them. This is a result of all the spam calls trying to scam people.That's why contact tracers say it's all about establishing trust in that cold call.“If you have a cultural understanding of the people that you are calling, that goes a long way to begin with,” said Waters. “I think you are more likely to be trusting of someone who has the demeanor and cultural understanding of your region, than somewhere across the country.”CONTRACE was founded when coronavirus cases started popping up in the U.S. It helps public and private groups with contact tracing efforts.The group encourages every state and local government to work with phone providers to help people know that calls are coming from contact tracers.Ideally, the call would be identified as the local health department or contact tracing program. 1650

When it comes to saving lives, seconds count. And now, thanks to improving technology, drones are proving to be a game changer in an emergency.Dozens of people’s lives were saved last year with the help of drones, according to drone maker DJI.  The company said from May of 2017 to April of 2018, 65 people were rescued with the help of a drone. DJI reviewed media reports to come up with that number and included documentation in its recent report released this year.Firefighters, search and rescue teams and other members of law enforcement are using drones to survey an area much faster from the air than people can on the ground.“During a search and rescue operation we can see body temperature, Romeo Durscher, DJI’s Public Safety Integration Director, said.Drones carry more than simple cameras. They are now built to send back infrared images.Aeryon Defense USA, of Denver, has drones that can carry upwards of four pounds of payload. The company sells drones that can be used by police agencies and the military."That allows you to hook in a medical kit, radio, food, water (or) ammunition to provide life sustaining equipment," said Mark Holden of Aeryon Defense USA. “We can carry water, enough for one day, food, even ammunition resupplies and some explosives as well.”The company’s drones can also be programed to single out a person moving in the camera’s view, but ignore a tree blowing in the wind or wildlife.“This is just the beginning. Everything we do is about taking the load off the end user. We want to replace human functions on the battlefield with a robot,” Holden said.Drones have helped find a woman with dementia in Randolph County, North Carolina. She had wandered into a nearby field. Drones dropped a life preserver to flood victims in Sichuan, China before rescue crews arrived to save the victims. An infrared camera-equipped drone located a crash victim who became unconscious after leaving his car to get help. A similar camera also was used to locate lost tubers on a river in Vestavia Hills, Alabama.Technology allows drones to carry more weight than before. In the last one-and-a-half to two years, drone makers have improved how drones fly in difficult weather conditions."Search and rescue operations rarely happen on a beautiful, no wind kind of day so we had to design them to withstand the snow, the wind, and the rain,” Durscher said.They can help save the lives of rescuers too."You know what's ahead of you. It can alert you of a big cliff or flooded river,” Durscher said.Drones used by most rescue agencies run as much as ,000 to ,000. 2642

Whether your car breaks down or you are slapped with a hefty medical bill, odds are most of us are not ready to pay for unexpected expenses. Instead of using a credit card to pay the bill, you might consider taking out a personal loan. Banks aren't the only ones lending money. According to Consumer Advocate, the top lending companies for 2018 include, Lending Tree, SoFi and Upgrade.Alison Norris, a certified financial planner with SoFi says you can borrow up to ,000 with some companies. However, you have a shorter period of time to pay them off. "They are paid off in periods ranging from 2 to 7 years," says Norris. Typically, when you're slapped with an unexpected expense, you reach for the credit card. But Norris says personal loans have a lower interest rate than most credit cards. "It could be the difference between an average credit card APR of 16 percent to a personal loan which can start as low as 6 percent," Norris says.What's different about a personal loan is that there is no collateral, unlike a home or car loan.   "You can compare that to a car loan if you were to stop making payments, it's possible that your car could be repossessed," Norris says.    With a personal loan, it's only backed by your guarantee. But if you can't pay on time, your credit score could take a big hit."It could very much change your ability to get a job in the future or apply for another loan and will have a few other repercussions," Norris says.   But remember, it's best to not take on more debt than what's necessary.   1647

White House chief of staff John Kelly will be leaving his position at the end of the year, President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House on Saturday afternoon.CNN on Friday reported that Kelly was expected to announce his departure in the coming days."John Kelly will be leaving at the end of the year," Trump told reporters before departing the White House for the Army-Navy game.Trump noted Kelly had been with him for almost two years in his roles as chief of staff and secretary of homeland security."I appreciate his service very much," Trump said.Seventeen months in, Kelly and Trump have reached a stalemate in their relationship, which is no longer seen as tenable by either of them, CNN has reported. Though Trump asked Kelly over the summer to stay on as chief of staff for two more years, the two have stopped speaking in recent days.CNN reported on Friday that Trump had been discussing a replacement plan. Potential replacements include Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, Nick Ayers, who is still seen as a leading contender. 1071

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, reading a statement from President Donald Trump, announced Wednesday that former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance has been revoked."As the head of the executive branch and commander in chief, I have a unique constitutional responsibility to protect the nation's classified information, including by controlling access to it. Today, in fulfilling that responsibility, I have decided to revoke the security clearance of John Brennan, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency," she said.In July, the White House announced that it was considering taking such action, which amounts to an unprecedented use of presidential authority to punish political rivals. At the time, critics quickly seized on the announcement, even as those under consideration downplayed the effect losing their clearances might have.Sanders' statement Wednesday cited the CIA's infiltration of Senate computers during Brennan's time at the helm of the agency as a reason for the decision, adding that Brennan has "recently leveraged his status" as a former official to "make a series of unfounded allegations" about the administration, which she called "increasingly frenzied commentary.""Such access is particularly inappropriate when such officials have transitioned into highly political positions," she read.Sanders said Trump is also reviewing the clearances of James Clapper, James Comey, Michael Hayden, Sally Yates, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and Bruce Ohr -- all people who have voiced political criticism of Trump. 1593
