WASHINGTON - As strained U.S. hospitals brace for a new surge of COVID-19 cases caused by the fast-spreading omicron variant, doctors are warning of yet another challenge: the two standard drugs they've used to fight infections are unlikely to work against the new strain. For more than a year antibody drugs from Regeneron and Eli Lilly have been the go-to treatments for early COVID-19, thanks to their ability to head off severe disease and keep patients out of the hospital. But both drugmakers...

VIENNA - The omicron variant of the coronavirus has been detected in 89 countries, and COVID-19 cases involving the variant are doubling every 1.5 to 3 days in places with community transmission and not just infections acquired abroad, the World Health Organization said Saturday. Omicron's "substantial growth advantage" over the delta variant means it is likely to soon overtake delta as the dominant form of the virus in countries where the new variant is spreading locally, the U.N. health...

Republican Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is an enigma. A successful businessman who began the Oklahoma-based mortgage company Gateway, he was elected governor in 2018. Stitt is an enrolled tribal citizen of the Cherokee Nation.

During his first year in office, Stitt entered into a dispute over the tribal gaming compact with the state. Stitt argued the...

In August, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe won a major victory in a long-running lawsuit against the United States. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie requires the federal government to provide “competent physician-led healthcare” to the Sioux Nation and its people, many of whom often suffer from substandard services on their homelands. “This...
CHINLE – Shaun Martin’s office sits at the front corner of Chinle High School, down the street from the Navajo Nation hospital that serves his community. It looks onto Highway 191, and during the throes of the pandemic, it was a window into the state of his city. “Every 20 minutes, an ambulance would be departing,” Martin said. “It was very real.” These days, the wailing of sirens has been replaced by the bouncing of basketballs. Rez ball is back and the community is rebounding. https://indiancountrytoday.com/news/rez-ball-t...
