The no-frills grocery chain Aldi is shedding its dowdy image as it goes a bit more upscale to compete with Whole Foods, Kroger, Publix, Safeway, and other chains.The German grocer plans to spend more than billion remodeling 1,300 US stores and adding hundreds of new ones, as it aims to become the nation's third-largest grocer.But is it staying true to its roots as a deep-discount grocery store? And does it still have the huge price advantage?Stores going upscaleWhen the doors open at the newly redesigned stores, shoppers told us they were not disappointed. Inside the new stores, they found a more upscale look: new signage, and lots more fresh produce in the enlarged store.Karen McKenzie said she and her baby girl loved it."They have much lower prices than the grocery store," she said, "especially when you are struggling to feed a family, and you've got to save wherever you can."Taking on Whole FoodsTen years ago, Aldi was just another bare-bones discount grocery store, with a limited selection of fresh fare.But now it's made a huge move into produce, especially organics, and the chain says its prices will rival anyone."We have a better product offering and expanded product range, and it's a much cleaner and nicer environment," regional manager Ryan Harmon said.What about prices, which is really the main reason shoppers visit Aldi?We compared Aldi's organic and conventional produce with Whole Foods', and found Aldi's price advantages haven't changed. 1504

The pandemic is coinciding with flu season, which is a potentially dangerous scenario doctors and nurses have given much thought to as the winter months approach.“How much is [the flu] going to play into things, and is it just going to make everything worse?” said Dr. Michelle Barron. “Is it going to comingle with COVID, and actually make people double sick or doubly ill?”Dr. Barron is the senior medical director of infection prevention and control at one of Colorado’s largest hospitals. She says staff has come up with contingency plans to deal with an influx of patients who might be battling serious flu symptoms.“We’ve been really encouraging our patients to get their flu shots and make sure they have that on their list,” she said. “We understand that there are some years that you’re debating whether or not it’s worth it, and we’re like this is the year you need to get it.”The CDC estimates around 196 million flu shots are available this year, a 13 percent increase from last year’s record-setting dosage of 175 million. It is an important number as last year 400,000 people were hospitalized for the flu, a potential burden hospitals have prepared for as bed space is now at a premium.“We’ve already surpassed the numbers of the first surge, so now, we’re like what’s next,” said Maddie Smith, a nurse at UCHealth in Colorado.Smith works in the hospital’s COVID ICU. She says while her unit has not reached a tipping point, it is expecting more flu patients to come in. Her unit has made plans to allocate more bed space to the seriously ill, regardless of cause, and treat them with whatever drugs are necessary. The good news, she says, is the flu has been treated for years, so doctors have a good plan of attack, and the measures we have taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19 are having a positive effect on the spread of the flu.“We usually are able to use the southern hemisphere as a good way to figure out what our flu season is going to look like,” said Dr. Barron. “They actually had a pretty mild flu season but COVID hit at the exact same time.”Dr. Barron says 3 to 5 percent of COVID-19 patients have had co-infection with another virus, showing complications are possible as flu season hits its stride, but not guaranteed.“I don’t think it’s anything that we can’t manage that we already haven’t thought about,” said Dr. Barron. 2367

The Navajo Nation is a sprawling part of the country, where Americans face challenges that many may find hard to believe exist in the United States.“The unemployment rate is 50-60 percent," said Ethel Branch, who has experienced those challenges firsthand.Branch was born and raised on the Navajo Nation.“I grew up on a ranch. We didn’t have running water or electricity," she said.The Navajo Nation is the largest Native American reservation in the United States. The reservation is roughly the size of West Virginia and reaches into Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.The novel coronavirus has hit this area as hard as anywhere in the country. The virus is spreading uncontrollably in 75 communities on the reservation, according to the Navajo Department of Health.“The magnitude of need in our communities is significant," Branch said.She has been trying to meet that need since March with what started with a GoFundMe page."Early on, we were thinking really small, you know, like let’s help like five families for two weeks and hope that the pandemic is contained within two weeks," she explained.But as the pandemic went from weeks to months, The Navajo Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief Fund grew to so much more.“I would say we’ve raised about .5 million at this point," Branch said.They've now established a non-profit called Yee Ha'ólníi Doo, where people can donate and learn more about efforts to help people on the reservation during the pandemic.The money pays for a variety of necessities, including PPE, cleaning supplies, boxes of food that can feed a family of four for two week and materials to keep people informed on the virus. Additionally, it will provide water in a place where it can be a luxury, especially right now."A third of our communities of Navajo and Hopi don’t have running water, and so, asking people to wash their hands frequently is asking them to make a decision between drinking water and water to feed their animals and water to wash their hands with," Branch said.Branch says they’ve helped 48,000 Navajo and Hopi households so far, but at a cost of 0,000 a week, the millions they’ve raised is not enough.“We have enough to get to the end of December, and I think we’re making headway and we’re getting through the first part of January," she said.They hope to raise an additional more than million to keep their operation going through the end of the pandemic as numbers on the reservation rise, in both cases and deaths.While challenges are nothing new to Navajo and Hopi people, neither is a spirit of fighting beyond them.Branch went from growing up on that ranch without water or electricity to graduating from Harvard and becoming the Navajo Nation’s Attorney General from 2015 to 2019.Now, as this pandemic poses a new challenge, Branch is fighting to make sure her community makes it through.If you’re interested in contributing to the fund, click here. 2911
