GDP Script/ Top Stories for Jan 23rd    Publish Date:  Jan 22nd       HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, January 23rd and Happy 65th Birthday to UB40's bassist Earl Falconer. ***01.23.24 – BIRTHDAY – EARL FALCONER*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Kia Mall of Georgia. Buford Teen Accused of Organizing Illegal Street Racing Activities Lawrenceville's Forrest Tuff Recognized by Georgia Trend As Influential Leader In The State People infected with Omicron COVID-19 variant have stronger immune systems All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Buford Teen Accused Of Organizing Illegal Street Racing Activities A 19-year-old from Buford, Mathew Dylan McCullock, was arrested and charged with organizing illegal street racing events, including one involving around 500 vehicles, according to Gwinnett police. McCullock is believed to be involved in at least two events, one dating back to March 11, 2023, and another on December 23, 2023, where as many as 500 cars gathered for illegal street racing in a Buford parking lot. The events were allegedly organized through an Instagram account called Project 85. McCullock, identified as the organizer, was arrested and charged with organizing illegal street racing and being a participant or spectator in such exhibitions.   STORY 2: Lawrenceville's Forrest Tuff Recognized By Georgia Trend As Influential Leader In The State Forrest Tuff, founder of One Vision Productions, began his business after an injury ended his basketball career. The company, founded in 2004, offers video production, film production, and branding services. One Vision Productions has worked with prominent clients such as Coca-Cola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Woodruff Arts Center. In 2023, Tuff received multiple awards, including the Gwinnett Black Man of Distinction S.U.N.S. Award and Georgia Trend Magazine's 500 Most Influential Leaders recognition. The company is known for its government contracting work and plans to integrate more AI technology into its services.     STORY 3: People infected with Omicron COVID-19 variant have stronger immune systems: study A study by South Korean scientists indicates that individuals infected with the Omicron variant of the coronavirus are likely to have a more robust immune system, providing protection against future COVID-19 strains. The research suggests that the immune system adapts to new variants, with memory T cells formed during Omicron infection responding to later strains of the virus. This heightened response is observed even against later Omicron variants. The findings offer insights into the evolving nature of the immune response and may influence vaccine development strategies by inducing memory T cell defenses against emerging variants.

Break 2: GCPS – TOM WAGES – DTL   STORY 4: Secretary of State's office to host 'one-stop shop' seminar Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has announced that She Leads will host its first webinar of the year, titled “One-Stop Shop: SOS Licensing, Corporations, Securities/Charities.” The free webinar, scheduled for January 30 at 6 p.m., will provide information on various services offered by the Georgia Secretary of State's office for small businesses, including licensing, corporations, securities, and charities. The event will feature division directors providing details about their respective divisions and guiding participants through the sos.ga.gov website. The webinar is part of the She Leads financial empowerment seminar series, aimed at increasing financial literacy and knowledge about money and wealth-building strategies.   STORY 5: Fulton 19 update: Prosecutor melodrama, squabble over documents, Eastman courthouse sighting In the ongoing Fulton County criminal conspiracy case against Donald Trump and 18 others, a recent twist involves allegations of an improper romantic relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a special prosecutor Nathan Wade, and a divorce court filing showing flights for them. The court filing by Wade's estranged wife claims she was not informed about Wade's hiring by Willis for the election interference investigation. Willis had filed a protective order against Jocelyn Wade, leading to an emergency motion. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has scheduled a Feb. 15 hearing to discuss the allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.   We'll be back in a moment. Break 3:  ESOG - INGLES 9   STORY 6: Looking for a good night's rest? Head to this state A survey of 5,000 Americans, commissioned by Herbalife, reveals that Californians experience the best sleep quality, despite scoring only six and a half for quality out of 10. The top five states for sleep quality also include South Carolina, New York, Maryland, and New Jersey. However, 55% of respondents can't remember their last "perfect night" of sleep, and 78% can't recall the last "perfect week." Only 48% claim to know how to get a good night's sleep, with common activities before bedtime including watching TV (66%) and scrolling through phones (38% on social media). Seventy-eight percent of respondents aim to improve their sleep in 2024.   STORY 7: Sports Betting, Education Expected To Be Top Issues In The Legislature Georgia state Reps. Dewey McClain and Soo Hong have highlighted sports betting as a key issue during the 2024 legislative session. Speaking at a Gwinnett Chamber event, McClain emphasized that sports betting is already prevalent, and money is flowing to other states like Cherokee, N.C., where many visitors are from Georgia. Both legislators discussed various issues, including Gov. Brian Kemp's legislative priorities, medicaid expansion, affordable housing, tort reform, education, and taxes. Hong, a floor leader for Gov. Kemp, mentioned that school choice, sports betting, and medicaid expansion are expected to be significant topics in the upcoming session.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Henssler 60   Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

covid symptoms, zoom lessons, care packages

Australia's top doctors have called on the government to do more to stop the spread of the new Omicron-Covid variant. The Australian Medical Association says this wave of COVID-19 will be more severe than the spike in January, and the pressure on hospitals immense. But, the Prime Minister says the current health advice is that face masks should be encouraged but not mandated.  - Pijîjkên şûnbilind yên Australya gazî hukumetê dikin ku ji bo rawestandina belavbûna guhertoya nû ya Omicron-Covid bêtir bike. Komeleya Bijîjkî ya Australya dibêje ev pêla COVID-19 dê ji pêla meha Çileyê dijwartir be, û zexta li ser nexweşxaneyan zêdetir be. Lê, Serokwezîr Anthony Albanese dibêje şîreta tenduristiyê ya heyî ev e ku divê maskên rû bêne teşwîq kirin lê lixwekirin ne mecbûr e.

Right now the subvariants of the Omicron Covid virus, BA.4 and BA.5 are responsible for the majority of new Covid cases emerging in the U.S. Medical experts are finding that people are not “immune” for quite as long after getting over Covid as they initially thought. Dr. Daniel Kuritzkes, head of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women's Hospital says, “Everybody is basically at risk of becoming reinfected if they had COVID more than 8 or 12 weeks ago and should be mindful of that”. Dr. Kuritzkes joined Dan to discuss.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K398: Omicron less likely to cause long COVID — UK study   The Omicron variant of coronavirus is less likely to cause long COVID than previous variants, according to the first peer-reviewed study of its kind from the UK. 英國一項研究顯示，冠狀病毒之Omicron變異株跟之前的變種相比，較不易導致「長新冠」後遺症。這是首件經同儕審查的此類研究。 Researchers at King's College London, using data from the ZOE COVID Symptom study app, found the odds of developing long COVID after infection were 20 percent to 50 percent lower during the Omicron wave in the UK compared to Delta. The figure varied depending on the patient's age and the timing of their last vaccination. 倫敦大學國王學院研究人員分析應用程式「ZOE新型冠狀病毒疾病症狀研究」之資料，發現與Delta變異株相比，在英國這波Omicron疫情期間，感染後發生COVID後遺症的機率低了百分之二十至百分之五十，數字因患者之年齡及上一次接種疫苗的時間而異。 Long COVID, which includes prolonged symptoms ranging from fatigue to “brain fog,” can be debilitating and continue for weeks or months. It is increasingly being recognized as a public health problem, and researchers have been racing to find out if Omicron presents as big a risk of long COVID as previously dominant variants. COVID後遺症包括從疲倦到「腦霧」的長期症狀，可使人虛弱，並持續數週或數月。它越來越被認為是公共衛生問題，研究人員一直在努力找出Omicron的後遺症風險是否跟先前的主要變異株一樣高。 The study from King's is believed to be the first academic research to show Omicron does not present as great a risk of long COVID, but that does not mean long COVID patient numbers are dropping, the team said. 國王學院研究小組表示，此研究據信為第一項表明Omicron的COVID後遺症風險並不如此高的學術研究，但這不表示COVID後遺症患者的人數正在下降。 While the risk of long COVID was lower during Omicron, more people were infected, so the absolute number now suffering is higher. 雖然感染Omicron後導致COVID後遺症的風險較低，但因Omicron的感染人數更多，所以現在苦於此後遺症的絕對人數更高。 “It's good news, but please don't decommission any of your long COVID services,” lead researcher Dr Claire Steves told Reuters, appealing to health-service providers. 「這是個好消息，但請不要停止對COVID後遺症的任何治療」，研究計畫主持人克萊兒‧史帝芙斯博士在接受路透社訪問時，對醫療業提出此呼籲。 The UK's Office for National Statistics said in May that 438,000 people in the country have long COVID after Omicron infection, representing 24 percent of all long COVID patients. 英國國家統計局在五月表示，有四十三萬八千人在感染Omicron後患有COVID後遺症，佔英國所有COVID後遺症患者的百分之二十四。 It also said the risk of lingering symptoms after Omicron was lower than with Delta, but only for double-vaccinated people. It found no statistical difference for those who were triple vaccinated. 它還表示，感染Omicron後有持續症狀的風險低於感染Delta，但這只是對接種兩劑疫苗的人而言，而接種三劑疫苗的人在統計上並無差異。 In the King's research, 4.5 percent of the 56,003 people studied during Omicron's peak, December 2021-March 2022, reported long COVID. That compared to 10.8 percent of 41,361 people during the Delta wave, June-November 2021. It did not compare vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. 國王學院在二○二一年十二月至二○二二年三月Omicron疫情高峰期間所研究的五萬六千零三人中，有百分之四點五的人表示有COVID後遺症。而在二○二一年六月至十一月的Delta變異株疫情期間所研究的四萬一千三百六十一人，有COVID後遺症的比例則為百分之十點八。此研究並未對疫苗接種者及未接種者做比較。 While the study — published in The Lancet journal on Thursday last week — compared Delta and Omicron, Dr Steves said previous work had showed no substantial difference in long COVID risk between other variants.More work was needed to establish why Omicron may have a lower long COVID risk, the team added. 雖然這項上週四發表於《刺胳針》期刊的研究比較了Delta及Omicron變異株的情況，但史帝芙斯博士表示，先前的研究顯示，其他變異株之間的COVID後遺症風險並無實質差異。 該研究小組補充說，Omicron的COVID後遺症風險可能較低之原因，需要做更多研究才能確定。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2022/06/28/2003780674

This episode discusses three MMWR reports. The first report highlights COVID-19 death rates and vaccine coverage in Hong Kong during the ongoing Omicron COVID-19 outbreak. The second report examines 10 people infected with the Omicron variant within 90 days of being infected with Delta. And the last report looks at the effectiveness of mRNA vaccination after previous infection in preventing COVID-19-associated hospitalization with a reinfection.

Dr. Kevin Lewis is the President of SSM Health/St. Anthony Hospital. He joins us each Tuesday morning to discuss medical news and answer questions. This week we discussed:  Current stages of the latest Omicron COVID variant. News of Philadelphia instituting new masking requirements for indoor areas. Where we are at currently with COVID hospitalizations. Also, the if-and-when scenario of a new surge coming to Oklahoma. With a second COVID vaccine booster shot approved by the FDA & CDC, when should folks get the shot, and what to expect once you've gotten the second booster shot. We're currently experiencing critically low blood availability levels and the need for donations is high. We go through some of the reasons why that's the case.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's View, Dr. Eagle discusses a comparison of patients infected with Delta versus Omicron COVID-19 variants, then looks at a post-hoc analysis of the EMPEROR-Preserved trial on mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and empagliflozin in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction. Finally, Dr. Eagle explores a recent NCDR Registry paper on sex differences in management and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction patients presenting with cardiogenic shock.

The stealth Omicron COVID-19 variant is already present in the Central Valley, according to local health departments. The BA.2 variant of COVID-19, also known as “stealth omicron,” has become the dominant variant of the coronavirus around the world, the World Health Organization said Wednesday. The omicron subvariant now accounts for 75% of coronavirus cases globally. Former President Donald Trump on Saturday vowed to get back into the White House in 2024. The Senate Judiciary Committee is beginning historic confirmation hearings Monday for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who would be the first Black woman on the Supreme Court.

The Colorado local music scene is staying high-energy despite setbacks from Omicron/COVID-19, tragic local gun violence, and a hugely destructive fire that nearly took out our studio! We truly believe that live music helps all of us feel our feelings, heal together, and re-energize in order to do the work we have before us. In the words of our heroes/musicians of Los Mocochetes, “music is medicine, laughter is medicine, community is medicine.” Head out to a local show, buy a ticket, get a drink, send a social media shout-out, donate to help those suffering, and come together to hear, love, and support some music/musicians from our local scene. You can find the Rocky Mtn Mixdown podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and at doghousemusic.com/rockymtnmixdown. As always, thank you to Dog House engineer Ty Gallaway for producing this and every episode.

Here's what Season Group's President and CEO Carl Hung sees as the key trends in 2022. In this interview we dig into those predictions a little deeper. "For 2022, I foresee a supply chain crunch persisting and potentially worsening due to several reasons: Many orders have been changed to non-cancellable non-reschedulable (NCNR) status which means that there is even less flexibility than before as demand continues to rise and component shortages persist. A way out is to turn towards engineering design flexibility, to give your products more component options to work with. Purchase orders (POs) from clients are placed much earlier in advance, and in turn our POs to suppliers are also made earlier. This trend of long lead times and early POs means that there will be great pressure on cash flows on us manufacturers. EMS companies that rely on banks for finance will be seriously challenged, especially if interest rates rise. Financial risk is definitely what EMS companies have to watch out for going into 2022. The emergence of the Omicron COVID-19 variant has also put many countries on red alert, which affects the shipping and logistics sector. Coupling this with the holiday season where many shipping sector workers want to be home for Christmas or Lunar New Year, temporary shipping service delays will have large knock-on effects to the supply chain as we go into the new year. While the times ahead may be tough, working closely together with our customers and strategic partners will allow the EMS market to continue to grow! Let's get ready for 2022!" This season of What's the SCOOP is sponsored by Koh Young America (https://www.kohyoung.com), the leaders in manufacturing inspection solutions.Like every episode of EMS@C-Level, this one was sponsored by global inspection leader Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Adaptable Automation Specialist Launchpad.build (https://launchpad.build).You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.

Well, that was weird! Paul Rudd hosted Saturday Night Live on December 18th and joined the coveted 5-Timers Club. But, because of the rapid spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant, the episode had no live audience, musical guest, or cast. So, how was the show? Which one of our podcast hosts possibly introduced COVID-19 to the SNL staff? Why were sketches so long in the 90s? And, will Amazon deliver Christmas socks before Christmas Day? Find out the answer to all these questions and see what we think of this latest episode. The Ten to One Podcast is a new Saturday Night Live podcast hosted by Bradford Oman (aka Ethan Anderton from SlashFilm.com), Ben Konowitz, and Nate Loucks. This trio of knuckleheads are die-hard SNL fans, and they'll be breaking down every new episode of the late-night sketch series, picking their favorite sketches, naming the best player of the night, and generally wasting everybody's time, especially their own.

OUR PATREON: www.patreon.com/thesavegpodcast YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/thesavegpodcast INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/thesavegpodcast This weeks episode is ram packed with stories- starting with the Omicron Covid variant. It's been so long since we discussed covid, but with all the latest stories we had to discuss it. Austria plans to make vaccines mandatory in 2022, among rising cases and protests in Europe. What are your thoughts on this? Jumping from covid- we discuss a Young Turks video on climate change- and more recently how forecasts predict some large cities could face increased flooding pressure by 2030. Artists face pressure to not perform at the upcoming grand prix in Saudi Arabia (given the country's human rights violations). More specifically, wife of journalist who got killed at the Saudi conciliate a few years ago, wrote a letter specifically to Justin Bieber requesting him to take a stand and not perform. Ahmaud Arbery case is discussed as the perpetrators have now been convicted. Lastly, we end on the viral video causing waves, and that is Mr.Beasts Squid game.

In this special follow up episode of British Suits and Cowboy Boots, Richard discusses the Omicron COVID variant and comparing it to Delta with Dr. Peter Hotez, internationally renowned physician-scientist and Covid era media personality.Dr. Hotez talks about the possible twin epidemic of the Delta and Omicron variants, what people should be concerned about and how to prepare as we head into the holidays and winter season.He also discusses Corbevax, the COVID-19 vaccine created at the Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital, partnering with Indian company Biological E to quickly produce 300 million doses in India; and his efforts to raise funds (including a $1 million donation from Texas-based Tito's Vodka!) to develop this prototype patent free, easy to produce vaccine. Dr. Hotez speaks to why links with the UK have been so valuable to his career and how he was inspired by UK universities, research organisations and schools of tropical medicine in building the Baylor University National School of Tropical Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development.A timely discussion on a subject affecting us all with one of the world's leading COVID-19 and vaccine experts.

Additional resources: OHA: Fast facts about the omicron variant CDC: Omicron variant World Health Organization: Tracking variants Ask a Black Doctor on The Numberz REACH webpage and REACH Facebook OHA Facebook Omicron variant and COVID-19 Q1: We've been hearing about the Omicron variant a lot since Thanksgiving weekend. Why? On Nov. 26, 2021, the World Health Organization identified the Omicron variant as a variant of concern. This variant appears to be more transmissible than the Delta variant and contains many mutations that may affect vaccine effectiveness and immunity.  Q2: Why are they more concerned about this variant than others? The concern about Omicron is due to how quickly it is spreading in South Africa as well as the specific mutations in the variant: Omicron appears to be more transmissible than the Delta variant, which until now has been considered the most transmissible Coronavirus variant. Many of Omicron's mutations occur in the spike protein — a part of the virus that affects infection and immunity and a part of the virus that our current COVID-19 vaccines are based on. So, there is a concern about how effective vaccines will be against infection caused by Omicron. This is actively being investigated by scientists worldwide. Q3: What causes variants? The novel coronavirus mutates over time in order to infect more and more people. Variants emerge in areas with low COVID-19 vaccination rates. Places with low vaccination rates suffer vaccine inequity for various reasons: They do not have access to the COVID-19 vaccines,  They do not have the systems or resources in place to support widespread vaccination (for example, they may not afford to purchase the vaccines or related resources needed to put the vaccines into people's arms), and They may distrust the health care system because of historical injustices. This map shows the association between income and vaccination rates — countries with the lowest incomes have the lowest vaccination rates. This is also true within the United States. Q4: How does vaccine inequity in other countries affect us in the United States? As long as any part of the world remains unvaccinated, variants will continue to emerge. Again, it is still too soon to know whether Omicron poses a serious threat.  But only half the world has been vaccinated against COVID-19.  Until we achieve global vaccination against COVID-19 — where all nations have achieved a significant vaccination rate —new, more serious variants will continue to emerge.  This is why the World Health Organization and other organizations are urging wealthier nations to support vaccine equity by taking actions such as sharing their stockpiled vaccines with lower-income nations. Q5: What can we do to protect ourselves against the Omicron variant? Please do the same things we have been doing to protect ourselves from COVID-19. Get vaccinated if you're not. Vaccination remains the best protection against COVID-19.  Get a booster if you are 18 years or older and it has been more than 6 months since you completed your primary COVID-19 vaccine series. Wear a mask in indoor public settings or outdoor crowded settings. Maintain six feet of physical distance from people outside your home if you don't know their vaccination status. Wash hands frequently. Avoid large crowds.
