Gander, Newfoundland is a tiny Canadian town on an island in the Atlantic Ocean — so tiny, in fact, that according to Mayor Claude Elliott, the town only has six traffic lights.Elliott has lived in Gander for more than 40 years. He served as mayor for more than half that time before he retired two years ago."Oh, the people are generous. They love helping people," Elliott said.But 18 years ago, Gander's welcoming spirit got put to the test.After the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, the FAA shut down American airspace for the first time in history. Due to Gander's proximity to Europe, 38 commercial planes with nearly 7,000 people on board were diverted to the town's airport. Overnight, the town's population nearly doubled."What do we do with 7,000 people?" Elliott said. "We've only got 500 hotel rooms."Weary passengers watched as day turned into night. Some ended up stuck on their planes for more than 12 hours.But what the passengers couldn't see is the urgent effort by the people of Gander, working to make sure the tired travelers would feel welcome once they got off the plane.The people of Gander opened up churches, schools and even the beds in their own homes.Beulah Cooper was among those who stepped up to help."When there were 38 planes here I knew there was a big impact," she said.Cooper made trays of sandwiches for the "plane people" and brought travelers over to her home to sleep and shower."You just have to put yourself in their shoes, and that makes your heart even bigger," Cooper said.Among Cooper's guests were two New York natives, Dennis and Hannah O'Rourke. The couple was stranded in Gander dealing with the unimaginable — their son, a firefighter, was missing following the attack.As the hours went on, the O'Rourkes could not get in touch with their son, Kevin."He was off that day. He wasn't on duty that day, but she knew in her heart that he was there," Cooper said.Cooper looked after the O'Rourkes for five days before the couple was able to fly home. When they left, they still haven't heard from Kevin. It wasn't until the O'Rourkes got home that their fears were realized. Kevin had rushed to the World Trade Center and gave his life to save others."She called me on the phone and said, 'Beulah, he's gone.' She said they found his body under the stairwell," Cooper said. "That was hard. It was hard."Cooper still keeps in touch with the O'Rourkes and others she helped. So do many others in Gander, even 18 years later."The first day, we had 7,000 strangers. On the third day, we had 7,000 friends. And on the fifth day, we lost 7,000 family members," Elliott said. "That's how close we became to the people that were here. " 2692

Hundreds of people stranded on hurricane-ravaged Great Abaco in the Bahamas waited Friday for a way off the islands as the death toll rose to 43 and rescue and recovery crews arrived with body bags and coolers.The number of fatalities is expected to rise as the extent of the damage becomes clear, but the search and recovery is being impeded by a broken infrastructure covered by debris left in the storm's wake.CNN's Gary Tuchman toured some of the hardest hit areas, and he said he could smell death. As he approached destroyed homes in Abaco, he said the scent grew stronger.The only way to know if there are bodies underneath the piles of debris was to remove it with heavy machinery, which will need to be brought in."I am sure that your reporters have seen uncollected bodies on the ground. I am sure there are many persons who know individuals who have personally lost loved ones," Health Minister Duane Sands told reporters during a briefing. "So where we end up with the death toll is likely to be significantly higher than where we are right now."In a text message to CNN, Sands confirmed Friday the death toll rose to 43.The national security minister surveyed the devastation from the air. He said rescue and recovery work needed to be completed before a full picture of the death toll emerges.Damaged infrastructure, such as impassable roads, and the lack of working government vehicles, such as patrol cars and ambulances, are adding to the frustration, Iram Lewis, a member of Parliament, said on AC360 Friday.Assistance from the US Coast Guard and Air Force will help the Bahamian government determine where rescues need to be made by Saturday, Lewis said.At least, he said, the airport in Freeport has been examined and the runway is open to receive more aid.Immediately after the storm, the runway was littered with debris. Inside the domestic terminal, the wreckage of a small passenger plane lay among the detritus.The long wait to evacuateDuring an aerial survey of Abaco, CNN saw large groups of people waiting for ships and planes. Hundreds of cars were parked haphazardly near the airport and port, appearing to have been left where they were forced to stop by people trying to leave.Those who made their way to the Leonard M. Thompson International Airport in Marsh Harbour waited hours for a possible flight out, while others went to the island's main port.Only a few buildings still stood in a sea of debris, where twisted metal and broken wood littered the landscape. Boats were scattered among the piles of debris left by homes knocked off their foundations.But those trying to get a flight out of the airport will likely wait for hours or even days to evacuate.Help arrivesAs people waited to leave the island, search and rescue personnel arrived bringing body bags and coolers.Additional morticians, body bags and refrigerated coolers to store bodies are being brought in to Abaco and other affected areas, Sands told Guardian Radio 96.9 FM. Four morticians in Abaco embalmed remains because officials have run out of coolers, he said.Volunteers with cadaver dogs have arrived to help with the recovery process, Joy Jibrilu, director general of the country's tourism and aviation ministry, told CNN.She said those workers brought equipment which will help people on the island get an accurate count of the dead and understand the full extent of damage the archipelago suffered.But the first priority remain rescuing and evacuating the living, especially those who are elderly or unwell, Jibrilu said.Estimated death tolls have been "harrowing and deeply distressing," Jibrilu said. She declined to speculate on the toll out of respect for the families.But a day earlier, she said "hundreds, up to thousands, of people are still missing."Trying to evacuateTed Curry was one of more than 300 people at the airport waiting to be evacuated Friday. He rode out the storm in Abaco.Curry told CNN via WhatsApp many people had grown tired of waiting for a plane and moved on to Marsh Harbour's main entry point, where roughly 700 people had gathered to await evacuation to Nassau.Among those seeking a way off Abaco were families who have been separated.Elizabeth Nixon was in Nassau waiting for her children, who were left behind when the family tried to to escape the island.She told CNN she had struggled to get her three children through the storm, carrying some of them in coolers to escape the flooding.Crying and worried, Nixon said she is anxious because her children have not eaten in at least a day as they await a flight out."If those little kids trying to push through, it's a lot," she said.Hers was not the only family forced to make difficult decision.Nixon said several families were put in terrible positions, with some having to choose who they could save during the storm.By Friday afternoon at least one cargo ship had agreed to take evacuees from Marsh Harbour on Abaco to Nassau. The announcement was met with cheers from those waiting to leave.More than 230 people have been rescued by the Coast Guard.Rescues have concentrated on Bahamas' northern islands as international teams sent small planes and helicopters to reach those stranded and feed the displaced.But Curry said the exodus from the island is only temporary. "This hurricane will set us back for years to come," Curry said."Abaconians are a resilient group of people," he said. "When we do come back we will be bigger, stronger and better than before." 5474

First came a high fever, drenching sweats and muscle aches. Then, almost a month later, a weird numbness that spread down the right side of her body.Darlene Gildersleeve thought she had recovered from COVID-19. Doctors said she just needed rest. And for several days, no one suspected her worsening symptoms were related — until a May 4 video call, when her physician heard her slurred speech and consulted a specialist.“You’ve had two strokes,” a neurologist told her at the hospital. The Hopkinton, New Hampshire, mother of three is only 43.Blood clots that can cause strokes, heart attacks and dangerous blockages in the legs and lungs are increasingly being found in COVID-19 patients, including some children. Even tiny clots that can damage tissue throughout the body have been seen in hospitalized patients and in autopsies, confounding doctors’ understanding of what was once considered mainly a respiratory infection.“I have to be humble and say I don’t know what’s going on there, but boy we need to find that out because unless you know what the pathogenic (disease-causing) mechanism is, it’s going to be tough to do intervention,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, remarked during a medical journal interview last month.Doctors and scientists at dozens of hospitals and universities around the globe are seeking answers while trying to measure virus patients’ risks for clots and testing drugs to treat or prevent them.Gildersleeve said health authorities “need to put out an urgent warning about strokes” and coronavirus. Not knowing the possible link “made me doubt myself” when symptoms appeared, she said.Some conditions that make some COVID-19 patients vulnerable to severe complications, including obesity and diabetes, can increase clot risks. But many authorities believe how the virus attacks and the way the body responds both play a role.“COVID-19 is the most thrombotic (clot-producing) disease we’ve ever seen in our lifetime,” said Dr. Alex Spyropoulos, a clot specialist and professor at Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset, New York.Clotting has been seen in other coronavirus infections, including SARS, but on a much smaller scale, he said.Scientists believe the coronavirus enters the body through enzyme-receptors found throughout the body, including in cells lining the inside of blood vessels. Some theorize that it may promote clotting by somehow injuring those vessels as it spreads. That injury may cause a severe immune response as the body tries to fight the infection, resulting in inflammation that may also damage vessels and promote clotting, said Dr. Valentin Fuster, director of Mount Sinai Heart hospital in New York.It’s unclear how many COVID-19 patients develop clots. Studies from China, Europe and the United States suggest rates ranging from 3% to 70% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients; more rigorous research is needed to determine the true prevalence, the National Institutes of Health says.Prevalence in patients with mild disease is unknown and the agency says there isn’t enough evidence to recommend routine clot screening for all virus patients without clotting symptoms, which may include swelling, pain or reddish discoloring in an arm or leg.Some hospitals have found 40% of deaths in COVID-19 patients are from blood clots. Spyropoulos said that’s been true at his 23-hospital system in the New York City area, Northwell Health, which has treated over 11,000 COVID-19 patients.Cases there have dropped by almost half in the past month, allowing more time for research before an expected second and maybe third wave of infections, he said, adding: “We’re racing against time to answer the key clinical questions.”Patients hospitalized with any severe illness face increased risks for clots, partly from being bedridden and inactive. They commonly receive blood-thinning drugs for prevention. Some doctors are trying higher-than-usual doses for prevention in hospitalized coronavirus patients.A few have used powerful clot-busting medicines typically used to treat strokes, with mixed results. In guidance issued May 12, the NIH said more research is needed to show whether that approach has any benefits.Fuster was involved in preliminary research on nearly 2,800 COVID-19 patients at five hospitals in the Mount Sinai system. A look at their outcomes suggests slightly better survival chances for virus patients on ventilators who received blood thinners than among those who didn’t. Although the results are not conclusive, all COVID-19 patients at Mount Sinai receive blood thinners for clot prevention unless they are at risk for bleeding, a potential side effect, Fuster said.Some COVID-19 patients, like Gildersleeve, develop dangerous clots when their infections seem to have subsided, Spyropoulos said. Patients treated at Northwell for severe disease are sent home with a once-a-day blood thinner and a soon to be published study will detail their experiences. Spyropoulos has been a paid consultant to Janssen Pharmaceuticals, makers of Xarelto, the drug’s brand name.In addition, Northwell is taking part in a multi-center study that will test using blood thinners for clot prevention in COVID-19 patients not sick enough to require hospitalization.In a small study published May 15, University of Colorado doctors found that combined scores on two tests measuring clotting markers in the blood can help determine which patients will develop large dangerous clots. One test measures a protein fragment called D-dimer, a remnant of dissolved clots. High levels sometimes indicate dangerous clots that form deep in leg veins and travel to the lungs or other organs.Dr. Behnood Bikdeli of Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center, said D-dimer levels in many of his COVID-19 patients have been alarmingly high, as much as 50 times higher than normal.Concerns about blood clots in COVID-19 patients prompted a recent 30-page consensus statement from an international group of physicians and researchers. Bikdeli is the lead author.It says that testing to find clots that require treatment includes X-rays or ultrasound exams, but poses a risk for health care workers because the virus is so contagious. Bikdeli said he fears when protective gear was more scarce, some dangerous clots were undiagnosed and untreated.Social distancing may make people more sedentary and more vulnerable to clots, particularly older adults, so doctors should encourage activity or exercises that can be done in the home as a preventive measure, the statement says.Warnell Vega got that advice after collapsing at home April 19 from a large clot blocking a lung artery. Doctors at Mount Sinai Morningside think it was coronavirus-related. Vega, 33, a lunch maker for New York City school children, spent a week in intensive care on oxygen and blood thinners, which he’s been told to continue taking for three months.“I just have to watch out for any bleeding, and have to be careful not to cut myself,” Vega said.Gildersleeve, the New Hampshire stroke patient, was also sent home with a blood thinner. She gets physical therapy to improve strength and balance. She still has some numbness and vision problems that mean driving is out, for now.Doctors are unable to predict when or whether she’ll regain all her abilities.”I’m trying to remain positive about recovering,” she said. ’’I just have to be patient and listen to my body and not push too hard.”___Follow AP Medical Writer Lindsey Tanner at @LindseyTanner.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’ 7639
