Greetings from the Salton Sea – California’s largest lake. In its heyday, this body of water was called the Southern California Riviera, attracting people from across the country.Decades later, this desert oasis is now dying. “It smells like death you know,” said one local man. “You can tell something died.”The Salton Sea is stinking and shrinking and what’s left is a being called a major health hazard.“The Salton Sea has gone to hell if you ask me,” another man said. “We used to go fishing there before and you can’t go fishing there anymore because there’s nothing to fish for because it’s polluted.”The sea is polluted with sewage, heavy metals and agricultural run off.With no natural run off and not much rain coming in, the Salton Sea has been decaying for decades. Experts say now the conditions are getting worse and the problems go well past county lines. “All of that dust on windy days gets aerosolized and people can inhale it for hundreds of miles actually,” said Sam J. Weiss, MD of Eisenhower Health in Palm Desert, Ca. Weiss says Imperial County’s air quality is some of the worst in the state.And as the Salton Sea dries up, more dangerous dust goes into the air and ultimately gets into people’s lungs. “If it becomes drier and drier and saltier and saltier we’ll see more and more problems unless there’s remediation of the sea,” Weiss said. In an attempt to slow down this problem, the Imperial Irrigation District dug trenches to suppress the dust.“IID models all of our project areas to control the most dust as possible,” said Jessica Humes of the Imperial Irrigation District. Humes says the Salton Sea is twice as salty as the Pacific Ocean and that ratio is impacting wildlife. “It is reducing reproduction of fish, fish are eaten by birds, and if there’s no fish, that causes a huge issue for them,” she said.Humes went on to say that the Salton Sea has more than 20,000 acres of dusty ground exposed -- a number she expects to increase overtime. “This boat dock had water in it over 10 years ago,” she said. “Today completely dry and the Salton Sea is hundreds of yards away.”Conditions are so bad that local leaders recently made an emergency declaration over air quality. “I’m worried about the impacts that are unknown and the sea receding so fast that you can’t plan for it,” SAID Ryan Kelley, chairman of the Imperial County Board of SupervisorsKelley says this is the latest bid to save the Salton Sea. And if the state recognizes this request – it puts rehabilitation efforts on a fast track to happen now.“If they were to listen to what our concerns are and to take up our emergency they could get back to neutral on what they promised to do under the management program,” he said. California Governor Gavin Newsom's office sent us a statement saying, ” The Salton Sea is an urgent issue, and we are intensely focused on solutions. The state is reviewing the Imperial County Board of Supervisors’ action, but we are not waiting to act on projects that can help. Several efforts are already underway to address Salton Sea-related air quality issues, including dust suppression and collaboration with local, state and federal agencies.”Meanwhile, those that live here recognize the problems are at their doorstep“The sea all winter long was full of pelicans,” said Mary Jane Mulrooney, who has been living near the Salton Sea for more than 30 years. “Now you don’t see any pelicans.” Mulrooney says she’s tired of watching this lake waste away.“It’s sad that nobody cares enough to save it,” she said. Now she and others hope this latest effort reignites a sense of urgency and ultimately action. 3648

HONG KONG (AP) — Pet cats and dogs cannot pass the new coronavirus on to humans, but they can test positive for low levels of the pathogen if they catch it from their owners. That's the conclusion of Hong Kong's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department after a dog in quarantine tested weakly positive for the virus Feb. 27, Feb. 28 and March 2, using the canine's nasal and oral cavity samples. A unidentified spokesman for the department was quoted in a news release as saying. "There is currently no evidence that pet animals can be a source of infection of COVID-19 or that they become sick." Scientists suspect the virus known as SARS-CoV-2 that causes the disease originated in bats before passing it on to another species, possibly a small wild mammal, that passed it on to humans. However, experts from the School of Public Health of The University of Hong Kong, the College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences of the City University of Hong Kong and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) have unanimously agreed that the dog has a low-level of infection and it is "likely to be a case of human-to-animal transmission." The dog, and another also in quarantine which has tested negative for the virus, will be tested again before being released. The department suggested any pets, including dogs and cats, from households where someone has tested positive for the virus should be put into quarantine. In general, pet owners should maintain good hygiene, including washing hands before and after handling animals, their food and supplies and no kissing them. People who are sick should avoid contact with pets and a veterinarian's advice should be sought if changes in a pet's health conditions are detected. "Apart from maintaining good hygiene practices, pet owners need not be overly concerned and under no circumstances should they abandon their pets," the spokesman said. 1919
