  • Fear that Ida could strike as Cat 3

    Fear that Ida could strike as Cat 3

    Tropical Storm Ida swirled toward a strike on Cuba on Friday showing hallmarks of a rare, rapidly intensifying storm that could speed across warm Gulf waters and slam into Louisiana as a Category 3 hurricane on Sunday, the National Hurricane Center warned.

    “The forecast track has it headed straight towards New Orleans. Not good,” said Jim Kossin, a senior scientist with The Climate Service.

    Ida posed a relatively low threat to tobacco-rich western Cuba, where forecasters predicted a glancing blow on Friday. The real danger begins over the Gulf, where forecasts were aligned in predicting Ida will strengthen very quickly into a major hurricane, reaching 115 mph (185 kph) before landfall in the Mississippi River delta late Sunday or early Monday, experts said.

    Kabul airport attack kills US Marines

    The U.S. ambassador in Kabul has told staff there that four U.S. Marines were killed in an explosion at the city’s airport and three wounded, a U.S. official with knowledge of the briefing said. Two explosions ripped through crowds of Afghans trying to enter the airport on Thursday.

    At least three U.S. troops were injured, a U.S. official said. Witnesses reported multiple fatalities among the Afghans, many of whom were trying to enter the airport because they had assisted U.S.-led coalition efforts and feared persecution by the Taliban.

    The pressure is on! All eyes on the Gulf of Mexico as a future hurricane that will be named Ida could spell trouble

    Developing storm system in the Gulf of Mexico is poised to cause worry over the next several days. Most forecast bring what will be known as hurricane ETA to land on or around August 30, insolently this is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in generally the same area.Developing storm system in the Gulf of Mexico is poised to cause worry over the next several days. Most forecast bring what will be known as hurricane ETA to land on or around August 30, insolently this is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in generally the same area.

    If model projections are correct, this storm could be above a category three at a certain point and potentially even that strong when landfall occurs.

    Even more, there are some forecasts that put Ida to have an incredibly low pressure, marking the chance that the storm will become a major hurricane for wherever it strikes.

    With several more days to go, all along the gulf coast from Texas to Florida should be on alert, have hurricane and weather related materials and supplies available, and be prepared to leave if necessary.

    Don’t forget, the area where the storm will hit or also places that have been exceptionally devastated in July and August by COVID-19. Hospitals are already reportedly overrun in so many rural and metropolitan areas because of the virus, the impact of the storm is going to create a true and deep crisis especially if already exacerbated medical professionals will have to treat victims of a natural disaster.

  • Biden gets inconclusive classified report on Covid origins

    Biden gets inconclusive classified report on Covid origins

    President Biden on Tuesday received a classified report from the intelligence community that was inconclusive about the origins of the novel coronavirus, including whether the pathogen jumped from an animal to a human as part of a natural process, or escaped from a lab in central China, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter. 

    The intelligence community will seek within days to declassify elements of the report for potential public release, officials said. 

    The assessment is the result of a 90-day sprint after Biden tasked his intelligence agencies in May to produce a report “that could bring us closer to a definitive conclusion” on the origins of a virus that has killed more than 4 million people globally and wrecked national economies. But despite analyzing a raft of existing intelligence and searching for new clues, intelligence officials fell short of a consensus, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the report is not yet public.

  • Kamala Harris’ flight from Singapore delayed by three hours because of ‘Havana Syndrome’

    Kamala Harris’ flight from Singapore delayed by three hours because of ‘Havana Syndrome’

    ‘Earlier this evening, the Vice President’s traveling delegation was delayed from departing Singapore because the Vice President’s office was made aware of a report of a recent possible anomalous health incident in Hanoi, Vietnam. After careful assessment, the decision was made to continue with the Vice President’s trip,’ the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi said in a statement.

    At least two U.S. personnel in Hanoi will be medevacked out of the country after Havana Syndrome incidents over the weekend, NBC News reported. Hours before Harris’ arrival, American personnel in Vietnam were informed the incidents involved strange sounds – a key characteristic of Havana Syndrome. 

    The incidents occurred at staffers’ homes in Hanoi, not at the U.S. Embassy. Most staff are working from home because of the coronavirus pandemic. 

    ‘We, of course, take any reported incidents of Havana syndrome seriously,’ White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at Tuesday’s press briefing. ‘There was an assessment of the vice president and made that she could continue traveling.’

    CIA Director William Burns held secret meeting in Kabul with Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar

    CIA Director William J. Burns held a secret meeting Monday in Kabul with the Taliban’s de facto leader, Abdul Ghani Baradar, in the highest-level face-to-face encounter between the Taliban and the Biden administration since the militants seized the Afghan capital, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy.

    President Biden dispatched his top spy, a veteran of the Foreign Service and the most decorated diplomat in his Cabinet, amid a frantic effort to evacuate people from Kabul international airport in what Biden has called “one of the largest, most difficult airlifts in history.”

    “The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty, for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older,” the FDA said in its announcement on Monday.

    The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has been authorized for emergency use in the United States since mid-December for people age 16 and older. In May, the authorization was extended to those 12 and older.

    Henri cuts short COVID concert in NYC during Barry Manilow song

    New York City‘s Central Park was canceled because of dangerous weather as Hurricane Henri approached the Northeast on Saturday.

    The venue was billed as a vaccinated party in the USA celebrating the defeat of COVID.. Planned in advance, the timing seemed to be curious now that astronomical case counts are being realized again.

    Also with Delta rampant, some questioned if it should even happy to begin with.

    Planners fought through the controversy, but had another issue: Hurricane Henri..

    SEEK SHELTER

    Barry Manilow began performing “Can’t Smile Without You,” as part of a medley of his hits when the announcement interrupted his performance, ordering concertgoers to immediately leave the park and seek shelter. The singer continued on, not realizing at first what was happening.

    Organizers repeated over a public address for concertgoers to “calmly move to the nearest exits and proceed to areas outside of the park.”

    CNN was among those who heavily hyped this event.

    The event, which was aired exclusively on CNN, was produced by music executive Clive Davis in coordination with the city of New York and Live Nation. The coverage began with a preshow hosted by Anderson Cooper at 4 p.m. ET, with the concert kicking off at 5 p.m.

    And the show came to a screeching halt due to a hurricane..

    Mainstream report: “The Vaccinated Are Worried and Scientists Don’t Have Answers”

    Anecdotes tell us what the data can’t: Vaccinated people appear to be getting the coronavirus at a surprisingly high rate. But exactly how often isn’t clear, nor is it certain how likely they are to spread the virus to others. And now, there’s growing concern that vaccinated people may be more vulnerable to serious illness than previously thought.

    There’s a dearth of scientific studies with concrete answers, leaving public policy makers and corporate executives to formulate plans based on fragmented information. While some are renewing mask mandates or delaying office reopenings, others cite the lack of clarity to justify staying the course. It can all feel like a mess.

    “We have to be humble about what we do know and what we don’t know,” said Tom Frieden, a former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the head of the nonprofit Resolve to Save Lives. “There are a few things we can say definitively. One is that this is a hard question to address.”
