A worker has now died after over 40 emergency staff members at a hospital in San Jose tested positive for COVID-19 in the past week. An air-powered costume with a fan may be to blame. NBC Bay Area reports 43 workers have tested positive over the past week. One employee passed away. She was a registration clerk in the emergency department at Kaiser Permanente. NBC Bay Area reports the hospital is investigating whether an incident where a staff member briefly wore a costume with an air-powered fan on Christmas Day could have led to air droplets being spread around the hospital. “Using our infection proven protocols, we are investigating the outbreak and using contact tracing to personally notify and test any staff or patients who were exposed during this time period based on CDC and public health guidelines,” a spokesperson said in a statement to NBC Bay Area. Kaiser said the worker wearing the costume didn’t have symptoms at the time. The hospital said the emergency department...

CBS News has reported that law enforcement say their leading theory in Nashville's downtown bombing on Christmas is the suspect may have been killed in the explosion. The network's Senior Investigative Correspondent Catherine Herridge reported DNA tests are being done on the remains found at the scene on 2nd Avenue, to determine if they belong to the suspect. Earlier, CBS News reported that a person-of-interest has been identified in the bombing. In a news conference Saturday afternoon, authorities provided another update, saying there's "no indication" that they're looking for another subject in the case. However, investigators said they were not prepared to identify any single individual just yet. "The first thing I want to reiterate is that we have no indication of any additional explosive threats... no other devices were discovered during a secondary sweep yesterday," said Doug Korneski, FBI special agent in charge. Earlier, citing sources, CBS News reported that...

In 2007 Mark Allen Campbell, who now prefers to go by Nicole Rose Campbell, of Waupun, Wisconsin was arrested for sexually assaulting and abusing his 10-year-old daughter and was sentenced to 34 years in prison. In December 2020 a federal judge declared that Campbell at age 49, now identifying as a transgender woman, has a Constitutional right to gender affirmation surgery, paid by the taxpayers. Racine Correctional Institute, a men's prison, where Campbell has been housed has allowed Campbell to dress in women's clothing and wear make-up. Campbell has received taxpayer-funded hormone treatments and counseling since being incarcerated. In 2013, six years into the prison term, Campbell requested gender confirmation surgery. At the time, Campbell's request was denied. In 2016, Campbell filed a lawsuit claiming that Campbell's Eighth Amendment rights had been violated as Department of Corrections officials were "indifferent" to Campbell's "medical needs." The suit claims that...

There is a somewhat inscrutable scandal currently rippling through the gamer universe on YouTube, although that is true on any given day, since big-time YouTube platforms, creators, and communities thrive on and grow from internecine feuds and similar conflicts. It’s pro wrestling, but with the wrestling replaced by uploads like “Hunting ghosts while wearing a heart rate monitor! (Phasmophobia).” Tuesday’s spectacle concerns Dream, one of the best Minecraft players in the world, and whether he cheated while notching one of his elite times in a speedrun of the game. Dream has vaulted into the upper echelons of gaming YouTube fame this year, according to Patricia Hernandez at Polygon, gaining over 10 million of his 14 million subscribers in 2020. YouTube named him the top trending and second overall creator on the platform this year. Those accolades aren’t determinative, but they do indicate how thoroughly he’s blown up. The surge can be chalked up to Dream distinguishing himself as...

Amahle (not her real name), a sex worker and mother of a young daughter living in South Africa, has faced an almost total loss of income since her government imposed a nationwide lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike the millions of other South African workers who’ve been negatively affected by the economic freeze, however, Amahle has received no government support in exchange for her lost earnings. Predictably, she has struggled to pay her rent. Amahle is not alone. With many governments around the world imposing drastic measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, sex workers have been pushed to the brink of financial desperation. Because sex work is not recognized as a “legitimate” profession, sex workers have been unable to access government relief programs in countries where sex work is criminalized. Without financial and social support, sex workers are slipping through the cracks. By driving sex work further underground, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in...
