Amid Omicron, San Diego County Sets Pandemic Record for COVID Cases – NBC San Diego

Positive-coronavirus cases in San Diego have set a disturbing new benchmark, but other figures released by the county later in the day may tell more of a story. County officials on Thursday said that there had a record-setting 5,976 COVID-19 cases reported Dec. 29, dwarfing the previous one-day tally set in Jan. 7 of this year, when 4,550 people tested positive for the novel coronavirus. On Wednesday, officials said that there had 3,653 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, the second-most recorded in a single day in San Diego County. The testing positivity rate on Tuesday was 12.8%. Concerns about the spike in cases, largely believed to be connected to the spread of the omicron variant, were tempered, however, later in the day on Thursday when county officials r...

Omicron variant symptom: A new strange symptom has emerged – Deseret News

A strange omicron variant symptom has emerged as COVID-19 has continued to spread across the country. Dr. John Torres, NBC News senior medical correspondent, told the “Today” show that one of the most common COVID-19 symptoms — loss of taste and smell — has not been common among omicron variant patients. Night sweats have become one of the common omicron variant symptoms, along with muscle aches, fatigue and scratchy throats, as I wrote for the Deseret News. Torres said you should assume you have COVID-19 if you start to feel sick, regardless of the symptoms you’re feeling. “So if you start getting sick, essentially you have to assume it’s COVID unless proven otherwise,” he said. “And by that I mean make sure you isolate yourself (and) get a test to make sure it’s not CO...

Syphilis rates are rising relentlessly in Britain – The Economist

Jan 1st 2022 NO ONE WANTS syphilis. Not personally—its symptoms include ulcers and insanity—and not nationally. The “French disease” as the English long called it, is an infamously “othered” illness. In 2014 academics in Bucharest traced its linguistic history and found that, even as the English used to call it the French disease, the French called it the Neapolitan one. Listen to this storyYour browser does not support the <audio> element.Enjoy more audio and podcasts on iOS or Android. The othering didn’t stop there. The Russians called it Polish, the Poles called it German, the Germans called it French and the Danish called it Spanish. The Turks eschewed nationalism for sectarianism, calling it the “Christian disease”, while, as the researchers observed: “in Northern India, th...

Not having it: Adorable golden retriever defends grandma from fruit-stealing man – Yahoo News

A golden retriever has gone viral after it appeared to playfully defend a grandmother from a man who ate from a bowl of cut fruit meant for the elderly woman. The video of the chivalrous golden retriever was first shared on Reddit and spread across Instagram. “We get a man offering fruit to his dog, but the dog kindly tells him to give it to grandma first,” Reddit user @siempremajima was quoted as saying. “When the man goes to give it to the grandma, he actually jokes around and attempts to [eat] the bite himself.
