Mountain lion killed after attacking 5-year-old boy in his front yard near Calabasas – KTLA Los Angeles

A mountain lion was killed after attacking and injuring a 5-year-old boy in his front yard near Calabasas earlier this week, officials said Saturday.

Patrick Foy told the Associated Press. “The mother was inside the house when she heard commotion outside.” “She ran out of the house and started punching and striking the mountain lion with her bare hands and got him off...

Delta variant doubles COVID hospital risk: Study – Al Jazeera English

A British study suggests people who get COVID-19 from the Delta variant are about twice as likely to be hospitalised compared with the Alpha variant. The Delta variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 doubles the risk of hospitalisation compared with the Alpha variant it has supplanted as the dominant strain worldwide, researchers reported in The Lancet on Saturday. Only 1.8 percent of the more than 43,000 COVID-19 cases assessed in comparing the two variants were in patients who had been fully vaccinated. Three-quarters were completely unvaccinated, and 24 percent had received only one jab of a two-dose vaccine. “The results from this study therefore primarily tell us about the risk of hospital admission for those who are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated,” said co-le...
