The state of Kentucky announced Feb. 13 it would begin paying relatives who provide care for displaced children the same stipend as foster parents -- about 0 per month per child.Norma Hatfield, who has cared for her two grandchildren since 2014, welcomed the news. Although she was able to provide for the pair without state assistance, she said Monday that few grandparents in her position have the same financial resources."We didn't get a phone call," Hatfield said, when her grandchildren were removed from their parents' care after the youngest ingested meth from a spoon. She found out when she arrived at their home the next day and discovered it empty. She had been planning to take them to Disney World."That's when my whole world changed," she said. While the Hatfield family's case winded its way through the courts, "I started meeting all these grandparents that were struggling -- taking in kids and, financially, they are going broke. There were heavily in debt and had court fees."Moved by her experiences watching other men and women struggle to raise children for whom they had never expected to be responsible, Hatfield began petitioning the state to bring back kinship care, which would specifically create an allowance for those permanently caring for their relatives' children. "It's so the kids stay with that family instead of foster care," she said.The United States 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in October 2017 that Kentucky would be required to pay relatives who temporarily house children the same fee as foster parents.Although only 16 families will have received such payments by the end of February, the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services estimated by June 2019 the payments could affect 1,590 children and total about .3 million."It's a start," Hatfield said, although she would still prefer the establishment of a fund for relatives who will care for their kin permanently -- not just on a temporary basis. "It's something families would be grateful to have." 2034

The U.S. will pay drug company Pfizer .95 billion to produce and deliver 100 million doses of the company's COVID-19 vaccine candidate should the drug prove effective in human trials the company said in a press release on Wednesday.Pfizer will deliver the vaccine if and when the drug receives Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA after a large-scale Phase 3 trial.According to the reports, the deal includes an option for the government to purchase an additional 500 million doses of the vaccine.“Expanding Operation Warp Speed’s diverse portfolio by adding a vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech increases the odds that we will have a safe, effective vaccine as soon as the end of this year,” Health and Human Services Sec. Alex Azar said in a statement. “Depending on success in clinical trials, today’s agreement will enable the delivery of approximately 100 million doses of this vaccine to the American people.”Pfizer and German firm BioNTech are working together to develop the vaccine.On Monday, Pfizer said in a press release that results from Phases 1 and 2 of a German trial indicated that the drug "could potentially be administered safely, with a manageable tolerability profile," according to data from the tests.Biotech company Moderna is also working to develop a coronavirus vaccine. That candidate will move into Phase 3 testing by the end of the month, and the government has also agreed to purchase and distribute the drug should the large-scale test prove effective. 1497

The trade war between the United States, China and many other countries is continuing to escalate.The Trump administration is now working toward imposing tariffs on another 0 billion worth of imports from China. The countries are imposing tariffs on each other, and there's no sign of any of this letting up. President Trump says he's working to level the playing field, reduce U.S. trade deficits and protect American technology.The U.S. is now targeting thousands of products, including aluminum, steel, and smaller ones that make microwaves and flashlights.Meanwhile, San Diego companies and consumers are caught in the middle."Really, before it even hit, when there was just talk of it in the industry, all that uncertainty really made people nervous," said Paul Cleary, executive director of the nonprofit GRID Alternatives, which installs solar panels on low-income homes.The organization buys its panels on the open market, and many of them are imported. Cleary said the Trump Administration's 30 percent tariff on the panels, and the reaction on the market, has added about a ,000 to the cost of each install. That's meant some layoffs and canceling raises.  1189

The spread of COVID-19 is tough to trace and even tougher to predict, but researchers at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University created an early warning system to help protect you from the virusMathematics professor Po-Shen Loh developed an app called NOVID, a contact-tracing app, to help communities see the virus coming before they get infected.On top of creating a brand new app, Loh teaches math to middle-school students online from his own office-turned-broadcast studio. He’s also the national coach for the United States Math Olympiad team that competes around the world.But when the pandemic hit, Loh wanted to take on one more project. “I like things that are supposed to be impossible, that can’t be done,” said Loh. Stopping the spread of the coronavirus seemed to fit the bill.“The problem with COVID is it spreads before you know you have it, that’s what makes COVID different," Loh said. "The only way you can control this disease is in helping people to know whether or not COVID is coming close to them in advance."That’s where the NOVID app can help, said Loh. “Shows the virus coming towards you based on your relationship network, so that you can protect yourselves from others before you actually get infected," Loh explained of the app. "This is in contrast to most other contact tracing apps that are designed to protect others from you."The app shows you positive cases in degrees of separation. A positive case in the first degree would be someone you live with. The second degree could be your coworker or a friend. The third degree would be that person’s spouse or child. Each degree of separation is a possible pathway for you to come in contact with COVID-19.“This thing shows you the virus coming towards you, kind of like a hurricane satellite shows you a hurricane coming towards you,” said Loh.In addition to showing you cases as they pop up around you, the app can track the distance between phones down to the inch.It uses both Bluetooth and ultrasound waves to give you that measurement to make sure you’re safely social distancing.“We don’t know of any other contact-tracing app in the entire world which will tell you, ‘here’s how far away we think the device was,’” said Loh.The safety of your personal information is one of the most important features of this app. It collects data, while you stay completely anonymous.“Many people are distrustful of an app that does contact tracing,” said Loh. “We never ask for your phone number or email."Those who are positive can self-report their case in the app. Loh is also working with cities and counties to integrate NOVID into health departments across the country. He said the health departments would issue a ticket with a number to each person who tests positive for the virus.That person would enter the number into their NOVID app, anonymously reporting the positive case in the community.“If this thing actually caught on, you’d see in all the cities and towns, whether it’s rural or urban, whenever COVID starts to rise up, you’d start to see everyone take caution. Not because anyone forced them to, but because they saw this is what would be useful,” said Loh.To create the powerful community resource Loh is hoping for, he said more people need to know about the app.“Right now, we only respond when the intensive care units are full, and then it’s too late, and people die on the sidewalk. But, what we wish would happen, is that people could see it coming, and then, everyone starts to be careful at the right time. With more traction, we can save more lives,” he said.Loh is hoping he can not only help save lives but help bring back life as we knew it.“The goal of what we’re trying to do is to give people headlights to drive in the dark. Our app is not designed to let other people control you; our app is designed to help you control your life,” said Loh.For more information on NOVID or to download it, click HERE. 3928

The Slater fire roared through Happy Camp, California on Sept. 8, and more than a month later, families still can’t get back into their neighborhoods.U.S. Forest Service Officer Jason Rasmussen was working to evacuate families in his community, as his own home was engulfed in flames.He said the fire was like nothing he’s seen in his quiet home town before. “Sounded like some sort of freight train. It was just total chaos. People were scared,” recalled Rasmussen.Winds fueled the flames, leveling 100,000 acres within hours. Two people were killed and nearly 200 homes were lost.“I knew my home was probably going to burn,” said Rasmussen. “I could only hope that it would survive.”Daybreak cemented gut-wrenching worry into reality. This fire left nothing behind for this family and so many others.“It’s heartbreaking seeing my house and my friend’s houses burned to the ground,” said Rasmussen's son, Chaance, who is a firefighter. “The only thing that’s left is memories.”Memories of a home, of a family legacy, built in this town for generations—now reduced to dust.“It’s emotional. I don’t even like to go back there,” said Jason Rasmussen of returning to what was once his home. “The stuff that was special to me was not valuable even. It was stuff that my grandfather had given me. Things that were sentimental for that reason, because it was connected to my family history."This loss is made even harder for the Rasmussens, because they never thought they’d be the ones needing help.“While you’re talking to people you’re evacuating, you’re going through the same thing,” said Jason Rasmussen. “When I knew I was actually homeless, that was the worst feeling.”After a month of moving from place to place, having nowhere to really call home, a surprise came that left these first responders speechless.Volunteers from EmergencyRV.org drove this donated RV from Oregon to Northern California. A woman donated her RV to the organization, and EmergencyRV.org matches up families in need. First responders go to the top of the list.Between being on the frontlines through the pandemic and this natural disaster, this group wanted to give these men a break.“It doesn’t make sense that a firefighter loses his home and is sleeping in a tent or has nowhere to go, sleeping in the station,” said EmergencyRV.org founder Woody Faircloth. “We want to give them a place to call home until they get back on their feet.”“I wasn’t expecting something like this,” said Chaance Rasmussen of the donated RV. “I thought, maybe something I could tow, but then I remembered I didn’t have a truck anymore, so it’s nice to have this.”The RV is giving the young firefighter much more than a place to sleep.“It kind of restores my faith in humanity,” said Chaance Rasmussen. “You see all the bad stuff on the media, people are rioting and all that stuff is happening, and knowing that people are out there doing stuff like this, it’s real heartwarming.”To the volunteers, it’s a thank you for the danger these frontline workers face head-on every day.“These firefighters and frontline heroes…they are heroes,” said Faircloth. “They’re out there every day doing this job, and they don’t make a lot of money, but they’re risking their lives for the rest of us.”A risk this father and son are proud to take on, even as they take on the much tougher challenge of restoring this land into a place they can call home. 3405
