To understand how the bird flu got out of hand, KFF Health News interviewed nearly 70 government officials, farmers and farmworkers, and researchers with expertise in virology, pandemics, veterinary medicine, and more.

...

Virologists around the world said they were flabbergasted by how poorly the United States was tracking the situation. “You are surrounded by highly pathogenic viruses in the wild and in farm animals,” said Marion Koopmans, head of virology at Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands. “If three months from now we are at the start of the pandemic, it is nobody’s surprise.”

As President-elect Donald Trump comes into office in January, farmworkers may be even less protected. Trump’s pledge of mass deportations will have repercussions whether they happen or not, said Tania Pacheco-Werner, director of the Central Valley Health Policy Institute in California.

Many dairy and poultry workers are living in the U.S. without authorization or on temporary visas linked to their employers. Such precarity made people less willing to see doctors about covid symptoms or complain about unsafe working conditions in 2020. Pacheco-Werner said, “Mass deportation is an astronomical challenge for public health.”

Summary

John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser, warned that a second Trump term could lead to a higher risk of major international crises due to Trump’s lack of focus, knowledge, and coherent strategy in foreign policy.

Bolton criticized Trump’s reliance on personal relationships with authoritarian leaders, disregard for national security briefings, and impulsive decision-making.

He expressed concern about Trump’s approach to Ukraine and NATO, calling it dangerous.

Bolton argued Trump’s isolationist tendencies deviate from traditional Republican foreign policy and could cause significant global and domestic instability if re-elected.

DFCS spends a minimum of $830 to $980 a month to house a child in foster care, according to the state’s published daily rates for foster parents. That’s roughly equivalent to the monthly fair market rate to rent a one-bedroom apartment in most of Georgia outside of metro Atlanta, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s estimates.

The cost for foster care can be significantly higher if a child has complex mental health or behavioral needs, as some of Wise’s kids do. Under the state’s current rates, specialized foster care for a single child in an institution or group home can reach $6,390 a month.

Josh Gupta-Kagan, who directs the Family Defense Clinic at Columbia Law School, said it’s baffling that DFCS would not provide housing assistance instead of removing children. “Why do we allow kids to be separated from their parents who we won’t help with housing — only to place them with strangers who we will help with housing?” he asked.

Summary

President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life without parole, sparing all but three convicted of high-profile mass killings.

Biden framed the decision as a moral stance against federal executions, citing his legal background and belief in the dignity of human life.

Donald Trump criticized the move as senseless, vowing to reinstate the death penalty.

Reactions were mixed: some victims’ families condemned Biden, while others supported his decision. Human rights groups praised it as a significant step against capital punishment.

Summary

Hong Kong police issued HK$1m ($128,000 USD) bounties for six overseas pro-democracy activists accused of national security crimes, including inciting secession and collusion with foreign forces.

Authorities also plan to cancel the passports of seven others, such as ex-lawmakers Ted Hui and Dennis Kwok.

This follows Beijing’s 2020 national security law, which quashed political dissent after the 2019 protests.

Western governments criticized the bounties, which are largely symbolic as extradition is unlikely.

Human Rights Watch called the move an act of intimidation, urging countries like the UK and Canada to respond.

I want to be able to sleep in my next car, and not have it be a miserable experience.

Is there anything you can suggest to me that will suit someone who is 6'4" or 193 cm?

I'm not very familiar with cars, so anything that might seem obvious to you I could be overlooking.

I'm also not interested in style, at all. I only want functionality/reliability (I want it to work, bells and whistles don't matter) and low prices.
