LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization is acknowledging the possibility that COVID-19 might be spread in the air under certain conditions.This comes after an open letter from more than 200 scientists published this week urging the agency to do so.WHO has long dismissed the possibility that the coronavirus is airborne except for certain risky medical procedures, such as when patients are first put on breathing machines.But it noted on Thursday that studies evaluating COVID-19 outbreaks in restaurants, choir practices and fitness classes suggested the virus might have been spread in the air. 609

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, are forming HiddenLight Productions, a company they say will tell the stories of people whose voices are often overlooked. Apple TV announced Thursday that it plans to air HiddenLight's first project, a documentary series called "Gutsy Women," to be narrated by the Clintons. It was inspired by 2019's The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience," which the pair co-authored. The Clintons have partnered with Sam Branson, son of tycoon Sir Richard Branson, in forming HiddenLight. They say they plan more documentaries and other film projects as well. 660

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - On the heels of two highly publicized parties, one of which ended in a fatal shooting, Los Angeles County's public health director warned again Wednesday that such gatherings are forbidden under coronavirus-prevention orders, and attending them endangers the public at large.Barbara Ferrer, director of the county Department of Public Health, said infection rates among residents aged 30 to 49 nearly tripled between June and late July, and rates among those 18-29 quadrupled."These two age groups continue to drive new infections here in the county," Ferrer said.She said people in the 18-29 age group now represent twice the percentage of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the county than they did in April, matching the rate of people aged 80 and over. People aged 30-49 now represent 25% of all hospitalized virus patients.She said the county has reported hundreds of deaths among younger age groups, but noted that younger people who become infected but don't become severely ill can still pass the virus to older residents who might require hospitalization or even die.Without specifically referencing any particular gathering, Ferrer acknowledged recent widely publicized parties that made headlines, calling such massive collections of people a "bad idea" and a breeding ground for the virus among younger residents who can in turn infect older and more vulnerable residents. On Friday night, dozens of people attended a private party at a bar in Hollywood, and earlier this week, hundreds of people attended a house party just outside Beverly Hills that ended in a fatal shooting.Mayor Eric Garcetti said Wednesday that he's authorizing the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, starting Friday, to shut off utility service to properties where in "egregious" cases unpermitted large parties and gatherings take place."Gatherings are simply not allowed at this point under the health officer order," Ferrer said. "Because they create a lot of risk for transmission at activities that really are not essential. These parties and gatherings with people not in your household hurt all of us as we try to reduce our case rates so we can get our children back to school and get other adults back to their jobs. We ask that everyone make good decisions. Don't host large parties and don't attend a party if you're invited. It isn't worth the risk you run and it certainly isn't worth the risk you're creating for our collective recovery journey."She expressed frustration at people who would host or attend a party."I do think an equally important question to ask is why so many people are willing to put our entire community at risk during this unprecedented pandemic," she said.Driving home the point that COVID-19 can affect anyone, regardless of age, Ferrer pointed to a recently documented outbreak along USC's fraternity row that has so far resulted in 45 positive cases of the virus. She said a separate smaller outbreak occurred among another group of USC students who were studying and socializing together.Ferrer also said at least eight football players at UCLA have tested positive. UCLA Athletics issued a statement saying all student-athletes are tested for COVID-19 and antibodies when they return to campus, and those who travel by plane must quarantine for seven days before reporting to athletic facilities for medical screening."Anyone who was to test positive for COVID-19 would immediately go into isolation for 10 days from the date of the test," according to the statement. "Anyone deemed to have been in close contact with someone who tested positive would go into isolation for 14 days from the last date of contact. UCLA Athletics currently has no student-athletes in isolation."The county this week posted draft guidelines for the eventual reopening of colleges and universities, although no such institutions will be able to open for now due to the elevated number of cases. The guidelines will only become relevant when such reopenings are permitted by the state and county.The county reported another 68 deaths due to the virus Wednesday, although two of those deaths were reported Tuesday by health officials in Long Beach and Pasadena. The new deaths increased the countywide death toll to 4,825.Ferrer announced another 2,347 confirmed cases of the virus, but she again noted that the number is likely low due to continued technological problems at the state's electronic laboratory reporting system that has resulted in an undercount stretching back at least two weeks.She warned that once the backlog clears, the county will likely see a sharp rise in the overall number of cases. As of Wednesday, the countywide case total since the start of the pandemic stood at 197,912.The state reporting backlog, however, does not affect the daily reporting of deaths or hospitalizations, and both of those numbers have been trending downward, leading Ferrer to again say she is "cautiously optimistic" about the success of local efforts to control the spread of the virus."We must learn from our recent past, however, and we have to continue our vigilance in the face of this still new and dangerous virus," Ferrer said. "You'll recall that just a few months ago we were in a much better place than we are now. And unfortunately, many of us thought that meant we could return to life as it was before COVID-19 and we as a community returned to a place where COVID-19 was spreading at even higher rates than it had been in the early days of the pandemic."The main difference this time was that the people driving the infection rate were younger than they had initially been," she said. 5644

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California growers are frustrated by an unusually wet spring that has delayed the planting of crops like rice and damaged others including strawberries and wine grapes.Rice grower Kurt Richter said Tuesday that storms forced him to wait weeks to start seeding his land in Colusa County. And rice that he managed to get into the ground is in a "refrigerated state" because of colder than usual temperatures that threaten to reduce yields.Watsonville strawberry farmer Peter Navarro tells the Santa Cruz Sentinel that recent wet weather is disrupting his picking schedule and causing a loss of production.Much of California has seen two to five times more precipitation than is normal for this point in May. The wet trend is expected to continue through the month. 789

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A report released Thursday shows that fewer wild animals have been struck by vehicles in three states during shelter-in-place orders, with the number of mountain lions killed in Southern California and elsewhere in the state declining by more than 50%.Researchers at the UC Davis Road Ecology Center determined that 56% fewer mountain lions were killed in California between the 10 weeks before the stay-at-home orders compared with the 10 weeks after, with the number of large wild animals being killed by vehicles falling 21% from 8.4 per day to 6.6 a day."The reduction in numbers of wildlife killed is surprising, and is a silver lining for both wildlife and people at this difficult time," said Winston Vickers, who directs the California Mountain Lion Project, a program of the Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine."For Southern California mountain lions, even one lion making it across a road instead of being killed can be very significant for populations like the ones in the Santa Monica or Santa Ana mountain ranges," Vickers said.The UC Davis researchers analyzed traffic and collision data collected from California, Idaho and Maine, which have advanced systems for tracking wildlife-vehicle conflict. The study provides the first evidence that wildlife- vehicle conflict decreased along with reduced vehicle travel during the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, said Road Ecology Center director Fraser Shilling."There is a statistically significant decline in wildlife deaths on highways in all three states following reductions in traffic this spring," Shilling said. "This has not been the case for any of the previous five years for these three states. If anything, there is usually an increase in spring."If it continues, the respite could amount to about 5,700 to 13,000 fewer large mammals being killed each year in the three states, and 50 fewer mountain lion deaths per year in California, he said.The positive impacts noted in the report "are likely to be just the tip of the iceberg of reduced deaths of wildlife on U.S. roads and highways," given the under-reporting of large animals involved in collisions with vehicles and the lack of systematic reporting of smaller animals killed on roads, Shilling wrote.He plans to continue to watch closely for impacts to wildlife given a two-to-three-fold increase in traffic in recent weeks as states reopen their economies.Shilling noted "the clear link between traffic and rates of mountain lion death," and said puma populations must be protected from traffic, especially in Southern California and the Bay Area, to reduce mountain lion mortality.In a unanimous decision in April, the California Fish and Game Commission moved a step closer to protecting six struggling mountain lion populations, including those in the Santa Monica and Santa Ana mountains, under the state's Endangered Species Act.The commission's decision cleared the way for a yearlong review on whether the six populations of mountain lions should be formally protected under the state act, with the act's full protections applying during the yearlong candidacy period.Supporters are seeking "threatened species protection" -- which is designed to protect species that at risk of extinction in the foreseeable future without improved management -- involving the "most imperiled populations" of mountain lions in California, according to Tiffany Yap, a biologist at the Center for Biological Diversity and primary author of the petition.Researchers with the National Park Service, UC Davis and UCLA warn that if enough inbreeding occurs, the Santa Ana population could go extinct within 12 years, and the Santa Monica population within 15 years.The state Department of Fish and Wildlife had recommended the move shortly after P-56, a male mountain lion in the critically endangered Santa Monica population, was killed in January under a state-issued depredation permit by a landowner who had lost livestock to the big cat.Planning and fundraising is underway for a wildlife crossing over the 101 Freeway in the Liberty Canyon area of Agoura Hills that would provide a connection between the small population of mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains and the large and genetically diverse populations to the north. 4335
