WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has announced that Vice President Mike Pence will be “in charge” of the administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak. Trump made the announcement Wednesday during a press conference with officials from the Centers Disease Control and Prevention. During the presser, the president said the United States is “very, very ready” for whatever the new coronavirus threat brings. Trump assured the public that the risk to Americans is “very low” and that his task force is effectively handling the outbreak. That’s despite the CDC saying the day before that it seems inevitable that the virus will begin to spread in U.S. communities.Trump also addressed the negotiations over the funding that will be allocated to combat the virus. Originally, the White House requested .5 billion, but lawmakers are calling for much more. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has asked for .5 billion. Wednesday, Trump indicated that he’d be open to more spending.“We’re going to spend whatever’s appropriate,” Trump told reporters. Dr. Anne Schuchat, the principal deputy director of the CDC, also spoke during the presser. She said the government’s aggressive containment strategy has been working and it’s responsible for the low levels of cases in U.S. so far. However, she said officials do expect more cases and it’s a good time to prepare. “As you heard, it’s the perfect time for businesses, health care systems, universities and schools to look at their pandemic preparedness plans,” said Schuchat. “Dust them off and make sure they’re ready.” 1594

We all know that leaving our dogs in the car on a hot sunny day for a long period of time is a bad idea. Temperatures can rise faster than we realize, putting our pets’ health and lives at risk.William Loopesko says he’s created a tool to help with just that.“I live in Colorado with my dog, Clovis. And Clovis and I enjoy hiking in the mountains, camping, etc, but that requires taking him in the car,” Loopesko says.Long car rides mean the occasional—and required—pit stop.“So, I wanted to have a way to be able to check on him and know that he’s always OK when I can’t be there with him,” he says.Loopesko created “PuppTech,” a device for your car that measures temperature and humidity levels.“It tells you the heat index, transmits all that data over a cellular connection, so I can at any time pull up how Clovis is doing on my phone.”Clovis is a 7-year-old male Labrador retriever, and Loopesko says his “comfortable” temperature range is anywhere between 41 and 72 degrees. The temperature ranges vary depending on the breed, sex, and age of the dog.“If it was above the 84 degrees for Clovis, I would be getting a text message every 5 minutes saying, ‘Hey it’s too hot. Hey it’s too hot. Hey it’s too hot.’”Decals on car windows let others know that a dog’s health is being monitored while an owner is away.But experts say an app should never replace common sense.“I worry that it could be a little bit of a false sense of security for some people,” says veterinarian Dr. Leslie Longo with Denver’s VCA Firehouse animal hospital.“I think you still have to be mindful if you’re leaving your dog in the car that it could still get hot, something could go wrong.”Loopesko says he wouldn’t disagree, but he says the app gives people one more tool for those times when owners just don’t have a choice.“If dogs were allowed to go everywhere, then our product wouldn’t need to exist,” Loopesko says.Loopesko says PuppTech is already being shipped out to its crowdfunders, and he expects it’ll be available to the general public before the end of the year. 2069

WELCH, West Virginia – In southern West Virginia, in the heart of the mountains, is God and coal country. “You’re deep in Appalachian Mountains here,” said Jay Chatman, a longtime resident of Welch. “I guess a lot of people feel like the mountains is a protective thing, you know.”The Town of Welch is in McDowell County, which once produced more than any other county in West Virginia. “Coal is the only thing that’s got McDowell County still on the map,” said Tina McNeely, a longtime resident of Welch. “The only reason we’re still here is because of the coal industry.”The Town of Welch was established in the late 1800s, and it was built on coal. “It was like a little New York, it was amazing,” said Chatman, who also is one of the town’s historians. “There 34 restaurants in Welch, three car dealerships, three movie theaters, two magazine shops, and in September 1941, they build the first parking garage in the United States that is still standing today.” All of this was possible through the coal companies that mined in the town for generations. Welch was the American dream, and it is filled with generations of coal miners. “A person doesn’t know what it means until you go underground and can’t get out without that elevator,” said Richard Evans, a resident of McDowell County. “You’re going to learn real quick.”Evans worked in a coal mine one summer when he was younger, and said he found out it wasn’t for him. “You just go in and you ride a buggy down and you go to work,” he recalled. “Then you ride it out, and you hope you can get out. I’ve seen them come and see them go. I’ve lost a lot of friends who worked in the mines.” “My father was a miner,” said Ann Turlet, the owner of the arts center in Welch. “He mined for 35 years. He died young of the black lung. Coal mining is important to this area, and coal mining is what took care of my mother when my father passed.” Everyone in Welch is connected through coal somehow. “My daddy was a coal miner all my life,” McNeely said. “I’m the baby of thirteen kids, and he raised all of us shoveling coal. And I’m talking back in the day when you dug coal with a number four coal shovel and used jackasses to haul your coal up there with buggies.” The rest of the country took billions of dollars out of the mountains over the decades, and at one point, McDowell County produced the most coal out of any other county in West Virginia. At its peak, the county was home to more than 100,000. “At one time, the world beckoned the door of McDowell because of the technology and the coal mining here,” Chatman said. “It’s these men busting their humps every day that’s keeping this county and the town of Welch alive,” McNeely said. “Without the coal this county has nothing.” According to the West Virginia Coal Association, some regulations brought hard times to West Virginia. “Twenty to 30 percent of electricity used in the country is made from coal,” said Jason Bostic, the vice president of the WVCA. “The one regulation restriction that has been a deep cut – almost fatal and has been fatal to certain parts of the state and operations were changes to the clean air act regulations related to mercury control.” From 2008 to 2016, coal production plummeted from 166 million tons to 85 million in West Virginia, according to the WCVA. “For the last 10 to 15 years, coal mines were closing left and right,” Evans said. “There’s about 535 that have closed, but we’re estimating about 600 closing,” Bostic said. The Trump administration announced the repeal of a major Obama-era clean water regulation that had placed limits on polluting chemicals that could be used near streams, wetlands and other bodies of water.The rollback of the 2015 measure, known as the Waters of the United States rule, adds to a lengthy list of environmental rules that the administration has worked to weaken or undo over the past two and a half years. Those efforts have focused heavily on eliminating restrictions on fossil fuel pollution, including coal-fired power plants, automobile tailpipes, and oil and gas leaks, but have also touched on asbestos and pesticides.Coal production has now been on a small rise from 2016, up to 99 million tons in West Virginia as of 2019, according to the WCVA. “If you stay out of West Virginia’s way, we think the coal industry will stabilize,” Bostic said. “It’s not ever going to be nearly what it was, but we think that coal we produce will be of higher value.” Outside of the mountains, those living in McDowell county believe there is a perception of them. “They think we’re ignorant,” McNeeley said. “Honey we’re just as educated as anybody else.” “Most of us realize that coal isn’t going to be our economic driver,” Turlet said. “It can be what it can be, but it will not be the thing that lifts us out of where we are.”With coal now producing better than it was years ago, those living here think now is the time to rebuild the home they love. “That’s where we diversify to history, and tourism,” Chatman said. “There’s always lots of ideas, just picking one and picking another and just building on what we have is the challenge,” Turlet said. 5160

When first responders arrived at Lisa Snyder's home in Pennsylvania on September 23, they found a horrific scene.Snyder's 8-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter were in the basement, hanging by their necks from a support beam, a probable cause affidavit filed with the court said. The children were in cardiac arrest and died a few days later, the affidavit said.Snyder told investigators that she thought the children killed themselves, the affidavit said. Her son was bullied at school and had talked about taking his life, his mother told troopers, and he told her he didn't want to die alone.But that story was a lie, prosecutors say. Investigators found no evidence that the boy was being bullied.On Monday, more than two months after the children died, Snyder, 36, was arrested and charged with murdering Conner and Brinley.Snyder's attorney, Dennis Charles, declined to comment when reached Monday on the phone. "My policy has always been not to discuss active cases with the media," he said.Berks County District Attorney John Adams said at a news conference Monday that Snyder continues to maintain the children killed themselves.He described investigators' findings but offered no motive."I don't know that there's any explanation for her behavior at all. I don't think that I can stand up here nor can anyone explain the horrific loss of two innocent children's lives," Adams said.Snyder was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of endangering the welfare of children, two counts of third-degree murder, tampering with/fabricating physical evidence, cruelty to animals and sexual intercourse with an animal.She's being held without bond in the Berks County Prison.'He tells me he hates school'Snyder and her children lived in Albany Township, about 75 miles northwest of Philadelphia. She told investigators that children made fun of Conner "because he is fat," and he was starving himself, the affidavit said."He tells me he hates school, every day he tells me he doesn't want to talk about school," Snyder told investigators.She told investigators that she sat down with her son the week before his body was found and encouraged him to come to her, "if you ever feel hurting yourself.""He did say to me when we were talking, I woulda killed myself already but I am scared to go by myself," Snyder said, according to the affidavit.Adams, the prosecutor, said Snyder ordered the dog lead the children were hanging from September 22 and picked it up from a store the morning of September 23.On that day, Snyder told investigators, Conner asked to build a fort in the basement when he got home from school.She told investigators that her son took two dining room chairs downstairs, along with the dog lead, and asked his sister to come play with him, the affidavit said.While the kids were in the basement, Snyder said, she put away laundry, went outside to play with the dog and smoke a cigarette, and then went downstairs to ask if the children wanted frozen pizza or Chef Boyardee for dinner, the affidavit said.First responders found the children hanging from the beam, about three feet apart, the affidavit said. The two bar-height dining room chairs were knocked onto their sides, the affidavit said.Snyder told investigators she tried to lift, Brinley, who weighed 40 pounds, but she couldn't work the "latch" on the dog lead, the affidavit said. She said she couldn't lift the 151-pound Conner either, the affidavit said."She then went upstairs and called 911 and never returned back to the basement," the affidavit said.The children died three days later.Early suspicionsAdams said investigators had questions right away."Eight year-olds, generally, that I am aware, do not commit suicide," Adams said.School officials and family members said Conner never mentioned he was suicidal or being bullied, the affidavit said. Others, including a witness who lived in Snyder's home, said Conner never told them he was a victim of bullying, the document said. A security video of Conner getting off the bus on the day his body was discovered showed no signs of distress, it said."In fact from the video, he was appeared to be a happy child," Adams said.Adams did not identify the witness who lived in the home, but said that Snyder's 17-year-old son lived there. The witness said the younger children rarely played in the basement, Adams said.Adams said the Berks County Children and Youth Services had previously been involved with the family.Adams said children were removed from the home in 2014, but he didn't specify which children. They were returned to her care in February 2015, Adams said. He did not say why the children were removed.The agency was involved with the family until November 2015, he said."As far as we can tell, from the evidence that we have reviewed, they made what appeared to be the proper decisions at the time," Adams said.CNN is reaching out to the agency for comment.'Hits us in the heart'The affidavit said three weeks before her children died, Snyder told a witness she was depressed and couldn't get out of bed.She also "made a statement that she does not care anymore about her kids," the affidavit said.In the days before her children's deaths, Snyder's gmail account made several online searches that drew investigators' interest.In one instance, her account looked up "carbon monoxide in a car how long to die," the affidavit said.Google searches on her account showed a search on a website that described an effective way to hang someone with using a simple suspension, the affidavit said.The district attorney said the case has been an emotional one for investigators."Anytime that any of us have to investigate, prosecute cases that involve the abuse or death of an innocent child, it all hits us in the heart," he said.Conner and Brinley's deaths have made authorities "appreciate the quality of life and the value of human life," Adams said."It's just not right, and it's not fair," he said. 5980
