Election officials across the country say they are worried about their staff's safety as the presidential race remains too close to call three days after Election Day.Officials in battleground states like Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania say ballot counters have face threats from protesters who have been demonstrating in front of election centers in their states."I can tell you that my wife and my mother are very concerned for me,” Joe Gloria, the registrar in Clark County, Nevada, said during a press conference Thursday.There have been no reports of violence against ballot counters as of Friday morning. However, WPVI-TV in Philadelphia reports that police have thwarted a plot to attack the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where Philadelphia-area ballots are currently being tallied.Conservative protesters have also gathered at ballot-counting centers in Phoenix and Atlanta. The demonstrators have called for officials to continue counting ballots in Arizona — where Biden's lead has shrunk in recent days — while the AP reports that protesters in Atlanta were concerned about voter fraud.In Michigan, state Attorney General Dana Nessel reported on Twitter that members of her staff were being harassed."Dear members of the public: Please stop making harassing & threatening calls to my staff," Nessel tweeted. "They are kind, hardworking public servants just doing their job. Asking them to shove sharpies in uncomfortable places is never appropriate & is a sad commentary on the state of our nation."Nessel was referring to a since-debunked conspiracy theory that alleges that supporters of President Donald Trump were told to fill out ballots in Sharpie markers, which would cause the ink to bleed through the paper and cause the ballot not to count. 1780

Everyone has dealt with some sort of isolation this year due to COVID-19. But for those living with different forms of dementia, isolation can take a much larger toll.“He has Lewy body dementia,” Jaye Kephart explained. She takes care of her husband, Michael, who was diagnosed with this form of dimension five years ago. The illness can cause hallucinations.“I know that the Lewy body is progressing,” she said. With safer at home orders in place, people like Kephart and her husband have been forced to mostly stay home, which she said has made his hallucinations worse.“There is no doubt in my mind that it’s COVID, he also sleeps a lot more. Why not, he’s bored,” she said.Many caregivers are seeing the same thing -- a faster decline they blame on increased isolation.The Washington Post analyzed federal data, which showed more than 134,000 people have died from some form of dementia since March, around 13,000 more than expected.“It’s exactly what I’m seeing with the families I work with. I think that caregivers feel a little bit hopeless and stressed out because they have difficulty at times trying to figure out, what can I do to make this better?,” Jill Lorentz said. She has worked with dementia caregivers and those with dementia for over two decades.“I think the whole thing is just a perfect storm,” she said. Lorentz also has eight family members who have some type of dementia, she currently helps care for her sister.Social stimulation and routine are two ways caregivers help slow the decline -- and that can be done from home to an extent.“Allow them to be a part of the process and use those as engagement pieces and not normal day activities that are kind of out of mind. You don't realize you can utilize that as something in a routine that could be meaningful for that person,” Lorentz said.“I still give him as much to do as I can. He unloads the dishwasher and loads it,” Kephart said.But for those living in a facility, stimulation is even more scarce.“I think there’s been more people in communities that have died from the loneliness of not being able to see or touch their family members then there have been that actually have the COVID diagnosis,” Lorentz said.“We’re asking people to create plans to make sure they are combating social isolation like they are combating COVID right now,” Amelia Shafer said. She is the Executive Director at the Alzheimer's Association of Colorado. She said caregivers should make a plan to participate in virtual support groups to help their loved ones with dementia, but they should focus on their own health, too.“It was no surprise to us that people were feeling isolated, that people were feeling depressed,” Shafer said.“People are dying at higher rates especially people with dementia, and they feel like they've had a huge loss. Everyone around them is feeling that loss too, but it’s different because 90% of what they feel is energy. So if they're feeling the sadness of their caregivers and the sadness of the world,” Lorentz said. “I think this is somewhat of a grieving issue.”“It’s certainly not having a partner like I did, I’m a caretaker,” Kephart said.The Alzheimer’s Association has a 24/7 hotline that offers support and help for caregivers, family members, and those living with the disease at 800-272-3900. 3305

ESCONDIDO, Calif. (KGTV) -- The San Diego Zoo is now five years into its ambitious attempt to save a critically endangered species, the Northern White Rhino, from extinction. There are currently just two Northern White's still alive, both females who are unable to give birth. They live at a preserve in Kenya.“It’s the only thing that keeps me going, thinking that this is possible and that we can save a species," says Dr. Marisa Korody, part of the team working on the project. The concept sounds like a science fiction novel. The plan is to take skin cells from Northern White rhinos preserved at the Safari Park's Frozen Zoo. Using Nobel Prize-winning technology developed 14 years ago, Dr. Korody is working to use those skin cells to make stem cells. Stem cells can then be converted into any other kind of cell. In this case, the genetically pure Northern White Rhino sperm and eggs that could be used for in vitro fertilization, with Southern White Rhinos, a close genetic cousin of the Northern White, to use as surrogate mothers. Dr. Korody says her team has made great progress, including successfully turning skin cells from Angilifu, a male Northern White rhino who died at the Safari Park in 2014, into stem cells and turning those stem cells into heart cells. They even recorded incredible video of those living heart cells beating in a petri dish. “We basically jumped up and down in the lab. That was probably one of the most exciting days we’ve had. We were pulling people in from the hallways to say, come look and see what we did.” Along with the cell portion of the project, tremendous progress has also been made with the in vitro research. This fall, the Zoo celebrated the first birthdays of two Southern White Rhinos who were born using the technology the team hopes to use with the Northern White embryos. “These two, Edward and future, are so healthy, so happy, so well-adjusted. I don’t have children of my own, but I think it must be the same kind, on some scale, of pride you feel in your own children," said Dr. Barbara Durrant, who leads that portion of the project. When ABC 10News first began covering the Northern White Rhino plan in 2015, Dr. Durrant estimated it would be ten years before a Northern White calf would be successfully born. Now halfway through that timeline, she says she believes they are right on track. 2366

ESCONDIDO (CNS) - A 47-year-old Escondido man was killed when he lost control of his pickup truck and slammed head-on into a car in Escondido, seriously injuring its driver, authorities said Friday.The crash happened shortly before 2:05 p.m. Thursday near the intersection of Del Dios and Mount Israel roads, California Highway Patrol Officer Kevin Smale said.A 47-year-old man behind the wheel of a 2006 Toyota Tundra pickup was heading eastbound at a high speed on Del Dios Road -- which was slick because of rain -- when he lost control of the pickup at a left-hand curve in the road and the truck began to spin, Smale said.The truck rotated once counterclockwise and crossed over into the opposite lane of traffic, where the front of the truck struck the front of a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek sedan with a 27-year-old woman from Encinitas behind the wheel, the officer said.The Toyota driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, was pronounced dead at the scene, Smale said.
