In 2020, buying or selling a home has become quite tricky. Experts in the real estate industry are seeing a new trend: purchasing homes without ever stepping foot in them. "We've found ourselves in a really, really interesting situation right now with coronavirus. And also, dealing with a super low inventory across the country," said David Lewis, a realtor in the Atlanta area. Lewis says for those who are relocating, COVID-19 wariness may prevent potential buyers from seeing a property in person. Plus, traveling can be difficult right now."A lot of times, some of them we’re videoing the home for them and some of them are just looking at the pictures and submitting blind offers and just hoping, trusting us to give them a little bit of guidance and also making sure the inspections and things are in line to offer that level of protection," said Lewis.Experts say, when buying virtually, a good home inspection is a must. "It should catch most everything. Now remember, a home inspection is a visual inspection. We’re not allowed to take siding off a house, we see trim damage then that's what we see. We can’t take a look between that wall," said Donny Williams, the Director of Business Development and Marketing for All Atlanta AmeriSpec.Overall, he doesn't recommend buying a home without going inside it first, but he and many other inspectors at his company are seeing it more often now. "I was actually surprised the number of times it actually happened. The guys could remember seven to 15 times each. Times that by 18 guys and that's a lot," said Williams.Before the pandemic, Williams says he rarely would see people purchase homes sight unseen. But as long as contracting the coronavirus is a concern, home buying virtually could be here to stay. Just know that if you are thinking of buying a home this way, there are things a realtor won't be able to fully give their opinions on, such as the neighborhood."That's something that is always largely on the purchaser. There’s several laws and regulations around what a real estate professional can share and information they can give on a neighborhood. So, a lot of times that's always up to the consumer, anyways, right, to get a good feel for the neighborhood or understand the dynamics or school or surrounding area," said Lewis.Overall, make sure before you swipe right to buy a home, meet it first, if at all possible. Having a realtor and inspector you trust is key. Though, what they won't be able to help you with is if the house feels like your home. 2535

In a heartbreaking Facebook post, a Maryland animal shelter announced they found a puppy with its ears cut off tied to a tree in Baltimore. BARCS say they got a call saying someone had found two dogs tied to a tree and several other puppies in an empty lot. When the officer arrived, they found one of the puppies was bleeding from the head and the other puppies were for sale. The puppies were immediately taken to BARCS where they were seen by a vet. They named the injured dog Claude and determined that his ears were removed using poor instruments, like household objects, leaving him with tissue damage, pain, and infection. Claude is only 10 weeks old and BARCS says he is trying to do normal puppy things, but cannot because of the pain. He received emergency surgery but the veterinarians had to remove untreated infected tissue, so he lost even more of his ear structure. BARCS is now asking for money so they can continue to help Claude so he can find a loving home and recover. You can donate by clicking here, but make sure your gift is dedicated to him by including his name in the additional comments section of the donation form.  1198

In 2016, President Obama used the Affordable Care Act to extend federal sex discrimination protections to people who identify as transgender.But after a recent move by the Trump administration, some of those protections are now gone.“What happened with the recent Trump administration ruling is that they basically said they were taking out that definition of sex discrimination and stated that it only applied to a person’s birth sex and couldn’t be applied to their gender identity and that they were no longer going to enforce any protections on the basis of gender identity," said Dr. Eliabeth Kvach. “I think there’s something to be said, to think about what it’s like to be a person where the government says you don’t deserve to get accessible health care,” said Andrew MillerKvach and Miller both work at Denver Health in Colorado. Both call the recent rule change in DC a direct threat to the lives of transgender men and women.“We have for example, 300 patients on our list to be able to receive vaginoplasty or gender confirming surgery for transgender women. And if you’re waiting years to get that surgery and then all of a sudden you’re worried about whether your insurance is going to cover it, that is enormously psychologically devastating to people,” said Kvach.“I think that we’re already seeing that with cases coming out of hospitals denying care to transgender and non-binary folks," said Miller.“I certainly think that it is dangerous to the lives of transgender and non-binary people,” said Kvach.Denver Health is a LGBTQ+ Center of Excellence. For the health system it means any patient regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or other LGBTQ identification can receive treatment from any doctor for any health need“LGBTQ health care isn’t specialty care, it’s just health care,” said Miller.And while Miller is an employee at Denver Health, this is an extra important issue for him personally.“I identify as a transgender man, and as I said before, my pronouns are he, him, his. I was born female, and at a certain point in my life, I recognized that being a woman didn’t fit for me, it was like I was living this false life,” said MillerFor him, and many trans people, being called the wrong name or the wrong pronoun isn’t just a simple mistake“When we say hey, my name is Andrew, that’s what I go by, but you call me my birth name, what I hear is, 'It doesn’t matter that I told you my name.' You get to be more of an expert on me than I get to be on me. Why should I feel safe that you’re going to actually take care of me, if you can’t even call me my name?” Miller said.For trans people around the country, this rule change might mean they could be denied hormone therapy or gender reassignment surgery. Procedures the transgender and health care providers who treat them, deem medically necessary.“Medical treatment with hormones and with surgery help a person’s body align with who they are, with their gender identity,” Kvach said.But it also means they have to be worried about being denied treatment for anything from a sore throat to life saving surgery.“I’m from the south, I think about it all the time. What it would be like to go back home and have a medical emergency and not be able to get care. To be a person denied health care, and it’s terrifying,” said Miller.And that increased anxiety can lead to bad health outcomes from avoiding preventative treatment to suicide.A survey from the Trevor Project released this month shows that more than half of kids who identify as transgender and nonbinary have seriously considered suicide in the last 12 months.While this rule change may be disheartening to many, institutions like Denver Health reaffirm their commitment to treating transgender people, like people“I want folks to be able to go to the doctor and feel safe. I want my community to survive,” Miller said. 3878

If you thought your 2020 stress would magically disappear after the yelling stopped, you might have been surprised to find that you were still worried after the results of the presidential election.“For the majority of people, the stress actually didn’t decrease,” said Vaile Wright, a psychiatrist and also a member of the American Psychiatrist Association. The group recently released some numbers that might explain your extra high heart rate.According to the survey by the APA, 17% of Americans did have their stress go down. However, almost 30% said their stress increased.And it’s not a party issue. Over 80% of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all listed the future of our nation as a significant source of stress“It’s not just whatever side won, it happens to be everybody right now really being concerned about the future of the nation,” said Wright.And three-fourths of Americans are still seriously stressed about the pandemic“We’ve seen increased levels of stress related to the federal response around the pandemic and that really does come down to the inconsistent messaging that we’re seeing. Different people are disproportionately affected by the pandemic specifically, but I don’t think anyone is related to the stress of it, especially as the numbers continue to climb,” said Wright.But it’s not all doom and gloom. Vaile says that there are some things happening that may help lower your blood pressure.“If we can hear some more good news, health news, like effective vaccines move to the market. The more that we have information that’s clear and consistent, that’s science based and that comes from reputable sources, I think those are the kinds of things that can reduce stress,” said Wright.Better coronavirus news combined with the possibility that President-elect Joe Biden can do a better job uniting the country can give Americans something to hope for as we head into 2021. 1918

House Republican leaders on Thursday released details of reforms that would overhaul the U.S. tax code, cut individual income tax rates and remove a number of breaks and deductions in the name of making Americans’ tax bills simpler and smaller.Much political wrangling remains before the plan would become law; both houses of Congress must approve the bill, and President Donald Trump has to sign it. But were it to take effect in 2018, as Republicans would like, here’s how the tax plan could change things for you. 529
