Dear Abby: I don’t appreciate her Christmas tradition, but everyone tells me to keep quiet – The Mercury News

DEAR ABBY: Every year for the last 15 years or so, my husband’s sister has sent us a huge box of homemade cookies for Christmas. My husband is from a large family, and she does this for each family. Jeanne Phillips I know it involves a great deal of time and effort on her part, and she sends them via priority mail, which means an additional expense. The problem is, we don’t eat cookies. Weight is a concern for both of us, and I avoid sugar or sugar products as I don’t believe they are healthy. Before we retired, we took the cookies to work to get rid of them or they were thrown out. Many years ago, I asked my mother-in-law what to do so as to not cause hard feelings. She advised, “Don’t say anything; she needs something to keep her busy.” I then asked a brother-in-law how he hand...

New York records deadliest day for COVID since May with 67 deaths as Gov. Cuomo unveils winter plan – Daily Mail

New York State recorded its deadliest day since May on Wednesday with 67 COVID-related deaths. The total is the highest since May 29, when 67 people also died. The number of daily deaths had hit a low of one on both August 30 and September 20, before cases and deaths began to climb again.  The troubling statistics were unveiled by Gov. Andrew Cuomo during his Thanksgiving Day coronavirus briefing on Thursday, in which he also revealed a ‘winter plan’ in anticipation of an spike in cases during the colder months. ‘What we are going to be doing through this Thanksgiving weekend and into next week, we are going to be working now on a winter plan,’ Cuomo said. ‘All the global experts say the same thing: this virus has phases and as the phases change your plan should change.’ While the state w...

Coronavirus updates: Hospitalizations hit record for 17th straight day; Oregon gym fined $90K for disobeying state freeze; 263K US deaths – USA TODAY

The deadly reality of America's bitter battle against coronavirus was obvious to families that gathered across the country for Thanksgiving dinner: There were empty seats around the table. In Deer Park, New York, Vivian Zayas replaced a seat from the table at her home with her late mother’s walker. She scrolled through photos of last Thanksgiving, when her mother, Ana Martinez, who died in April of COVID-19, stood at the stove making a pot of rice and beans.  For Jessica Franz, a nurse who works the graveyard shift at Olathe Medical Center in a Kansas suburb, a typical year would have her mother-in-law laying out a feast for her children. That didn't happen this year: Elaine Franz died of the coronavirus on Nov. 10, a day before her 78th birthday.  The number of COVID-19 hospitalizations ...

The Coronavirus Wont Stop Evolving When the Vaccine Arrives – The New York Times

In a 1988 essay on pandemics Joshua Lederberg, Nobel laureate and president of The Rockefeller University, reminded the medical community that when it comes to infectious disease, the laws of Darwin are as important as the vaccines of Pasteur. As medicine battles bacteria and viruses, those organisms continue to undergo mutations and evolve new characteristics. Lederberg advised vigilance: “We have no guarantee that the natural evolutionary competition of viruses with the human species will always find ourselves the winner.” With the emergence of what seem so far to be safe and effective vaccine candidates, it appears that humanity may be the winner again this time around, albeit with a dreadful loss of life. But vaccines won’t put an end to the evolution of this coronavirus, as Dav...
