‘New California’ Declares Independence – From California, Not U.S.

Citing the U.S. Constitution, a group introduced its Declaration of Independence – from California, but not from the United States.

The “New California” movement wants to turn northern and rural California into the nation’s 51 state, separating from southern, coastal urban California in the same way that West Virginia was formed, CBS Sacramento reported:

“Unlike other separation movements in the past the state of New California wants to do things by the book, citing Article 4, Section 3 of the US Constitution and working with the state legislature to get it done, similar to the way West Virginia was formed.”

‘New California’ envisions blue region as 51st state.

As of now, taxes are too high, education is too shoddy, and the state, as a whole, is “ungovernable,” the New California movement’s founder Robert Paul Preston argues.

WEEKLY THREAT ROUNDUP 1-21-18

From AlertsUSA

H3N2 Virus - ALLOW IMAGES

This Flu Season Is Severe, and Far From Over

 

January 20, 2018

 

On Jan 19th, the following related Flash SMS
message was sent to
AlertsUSA subscriber mobile devices:

1/19 – CDC virologic surveillance data shows flu season worsening, w rapid incr in deaths & hospitalizations. Spot shortages of antivirals nationwide. Caution urged.

What You Need To Know

On 8 occasions this week AlertsUSA subscribers were notified via SMS messages to their mobile devices regarding safety and security matters. Most pressing for this report is the increasing severity of the annual flu season in N. America. According to the latest virologic surveillance data issued by the Centers for Disease Control on Friday, more people sought care for flulike illnesses last week than any other comparable period in nearly a decade. At least ten children died from influenza-associated illnesses during that period, bringing the total number of pediatric deaths this flu season to at least 30.

According to Lynette Brammer, head of the CDC’s Domestic Influenza Surveillance team, approximately 80 percent of children who died from influenza are not vaccinated.

Hawaii is the only state that is not reporting widespread illnesses.

Influenza Actiity Map - ALLOW IMAGES

The most frequently identified influenza virus subtype reported by public health laboratories thus far this season is influenza A(H3N2) shown in the image above, which normally results in a much more severe flu season. Additionally, vaccine effectiveness (VE) against H3N2 viruses also is typically lower than against influenza H1N1 and influenza B viruses.

A cumulative rate of 31.5 laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations per 100,000 population was also reported, with the highest rate of hospitalization among adults aged 65 years and older, followed by those aged 50-64.

Compounding the challenges this year are spotty antiviral (Tamiflu, etc..) shortages nationwide, as well as an ongoing national shortage of IV fluids such as saline and nutrient solutions. These shortages exist because of damage to factories and power systems in storm-ravaged Puerto Rico. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, “the production situation in Puerto Rico remains fragile.”

FLU MAY BE SPREAD JUST BY BREATHING

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Scienceshas revealed that the influenza virus’s capacity to aerosolize and linger in the atmosphere is significantly greater than previously thought. Analyzing 142 flu patients, the researchers found infectious virus in the air they exhaled, particularly in the first few days they showed symptoms. By contrast, sneezing appeared to play a relatively small part in spreading influenza.

The study also showed that flu sufferers who were overweight or obese were more likely to aerosolize the disease.

YOUR TAKEAWAY:

This year the flu is brutal, but there are steps that can be taken to minimize risk.

  • Get vaccinated. Even though this years flu vaccine is less than optimal, a majority of infectious disease specialists will tell you that some protection is better than no protection. If you are a member of the ‘no vaccine’ crowd, roll the dice.
  • Next, avoid sick people if possible.
  • If sick, avoid healthy people. According to the CDC, the typical incubation period for influenza is 1—4 days (average: 2 days). Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. CDC further recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities.
  • Wash your hands often, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
  • Next, clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated (faucet handles, door knobs, TV controllers, etc..)

You can also step things up a bit:

Hibiclens - ALLOW IMAGES

Hibiclens is a hospital-grade skin cleanser providing antiseptic activity and a persistent antimicrobial effect that lasts up to 24 hours. The product has been used in hospitals worldwide for more than 30 years for general hand washing as well as pre-surgical scrubs. Get it through through your local pharmacy or Amazon via the linked image above.

N95 particle masks - ALLOW IMAGES

If you have sick people in your home or place of work, you may wish to consider a simple face mask to reduce your chances of contracting the virus. While there is debate in the scientific community over how well face masks guard against influenza when people use them outside of hospitals and other health care settings, your best bet is to follow their practices. To this end, Centers for Disease Control guidance very clearly recommends recommend the use of a NIOSH-certified N95 facemask or better respirator for the protection against airborne particles.
