Last week, the CDC said that omicron accounted for approximately 73% of variants circulating in the United States in the week ending...

    Dec 29, 2021

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Grinding anxiety turns into fear for many Alaska Natives when storms hit. In dozens of villages, the ground is threatening to erode away from under homes, fuel tanks, water and sewer systems, buildings, bridges, roads and runways. And no one knows the threat of climate change more than residents of Newtok, a village in western Alaska that already is trying to relocate to higher ground. Water has been eroding the shore there at the rate of 125 to 150 feet per year, and the school now sits just 120 feet from the water. h...

    Dec 29, 2021

    COVID-19 has been a major challenge for schools. From shutting down in March 2020, to reopening and trying to stay open, the task has been varied and in some cases monumental.

Still, many schools were able to stay open safely with multiple protections in place....

  • Lack of emergency order or regulation doomed mask mandate

    Dec 29, 2021

    HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The state Supreme Court on Thursday released its rationale for why it ruled that Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration had no legal authority to require masks in Pennsylvania’s schools and child care centers, even amid a pandemic and surging cases of COVID-19. The Democratic-majority court ruled 6-0 on Dec. 10, immediately ending the statewide mask mandate, except in school districts that still required them. Justice Thomas Saylor did not participate in the decision. The justices’ 58-page opinion released Thursday does not dis...

    Dec 29, 2021

    CARSON CITY, Nev.

The ruling comes as schools and businesses prepare for another variant-fueled s...

  • Kids under 5 still waiting for Covid-19 vaccine protection

    Dec 29, 2021

    (CNN) - While some US teens have been vaccinated for so long that they're now eligible for Covid-19 boosters, those under the age of 5 still haven't gotten their first shots. The Pfizer vaccine has been authorized for children 5 and older since late October, and teens 16 and up have been eligible for boosters since December 9. As coronavirus cases in children surge again, vaccine approval for kids under 5 can't come soon enough for many parents. But it looks likely that the youngest children won't get protection from Covid-19 until well into...
