A human foot found along a rural Templeton road belongs to a driver whose legs were severed in a crash along Highway 101 earlier this month, according to the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office. Investigators were called to the area near Santa Rita Road Sunday at around 9:15 a.m. after a bicyclist reported finding the foot. While the sheriff's office initially called the remains "suspicious in nature," saying it was too early in the investigation to determine if the discovery was the result of an accident or foul play," the California Highway Patrol on Monday told KSBY News it was likely linked to an earlier crash. The sheriff's office confirmed that information Wednesday, saying with the help of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office and its rapid DNA process, it was determined th...

NIAID director Anthony Fauci told ABC News in an Instagram live discussing the coronavirus pandemic Wednesday evening, "If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it." Why it matters: Eye protection is not currently included in formal guidance on COVID-19. The CDC currently only advises that health care workers use eye protection "in areas with moderate to substantial community transmission." By the numbers: More than 150,000 people in the U.S. have died of the novel coronavirus and over 4.4 million have been infected as of Wednesday night, per Johns Hopkins. What they're saying: ABC's Jennifer Ashton asked Fauci if he could envision the point where eye protection would be recommended, he replied: "It might, if you really want perfect protection of the mucosal surfaces."

CLEVELAND (WJW) — Ohio hospitals are reporting their highest number of patients with COVID-19 since the pandemic started. “I’m not surprised because we saw a second peak last week,” said Dr. Keith Armitage, an infectious disease specialist with University Hospitals (UH). Ohio coronavirus numbers: 1,396 new cases, 40 new deaths reported According to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), 1,122 patients were treated in hospitals across the state Tuesday. That is the highest number reported since the pandemic began. The previous high was in late April when the state had 1,103 patients with COVID-19 in the hospital. “I think what we saw in Ohio was an increase of cases between Memorial Day and the 4th of July holiday.  There is a lag time between hospitalizati...

Buddy liked dog stuff: running through the sprinklers, going on long car rides, swimming in the lake. He cuddled the Mahoneys—his owners and family—at the end of tough days. He humored them when they dressed him up as a bunny for Halloween. He was a protective big brother to 10-month-old Duke, the family’s other German shepherd. He loved everyone. He lived up to his name. In mid-April, right before his seventh birthday, Buddy began struggling to breathe. Six weeks later, he became the first dog in the United States to be confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. On July 11, Buddy died. Photos of Buddy and the Mahon...
