The post Sons of cop, firefighter carry flags onto field at 9/11 game, get suspended appeared first on Virus Reports.
]]>Two high school football players in Ohio – one the son of a cop and the other the son of a firefighter – carried first responder flags onto the field before their game Sept. 11 to honor the fallen heroes who died in attacks 19 years ago – then were briefly suspended.
As the players took the field on a game advertised as “Patriot Night,” they brought a “Thin Blue Line” and a “Thin Red Line” flag with them, leading another teammate who carried an American flag.
But their request for permission to carry the flags was denied by district officials, according to the head of the Little Miami Local Schools Board of Education.
OHIO SCHOOL DISTRICT BANS ‘THIN BLUE LINE’ FLAGS AFTER FOOTBALL PLAYER CARRIED ONE TO HONOR COACH
And by Monday they found themselves suspended from the team, the Cincinnati-based WKRC-TV reported.
Brady Williams, a police officer’s son who plays cornerback for Little Miami High School, told the outlet he brought the flag to honor the people killed in the Sept. 11 attacks.
He and his teammate, Jarad Bentley, denied the move was politically motivated. Bentley carried the “Thin Red Line” flag.
The board of education and district administrators eventually agreed – overturning the athletic director’s suspension on Tuesday.
“The results show that there were no political motivations behind this display of support for first responders on 9/11,” Board of Education President Bobbie Grice said in a statement. “But there were stances of insubordination.”
Grice said the boys are allowed to return to practice and that any potential punishment for failing to follow instructions would come from their coaches, not district administrators.
It reversed a decision handed down Monday afternoon by athletics director Gregory Power, as WKRC reported.
“We can’t have students who decide to do something anyway after they’ve been told that they shouldn’t be doing it,” he told the outlet.
He said he had concerns that the flags were political in nature and could set a precedent, allowing other flags that had the potential to stir up political controversy.

The district also wanted to avoid further displays after reinstating the boys.
“As the season continues, the only two flags that will come through the Little Miami football tunnel are the flag of the United States of America and the Little Miami spirit flag,” Grice said.
But the players said the dust-up was worth it.
“My dad is a firefighter, and if it had been him killed on 9/11, I would have wanted someone to do it for him,” Bentley told WKRC.
“I don’t care what my consequences are,” Williams added. “As long as my message gets across, I’ll be happy.”

]]>While some research has shown that children are infected with the coronavirus at a lower rate than adults, a new Chicago-based study raises questions about the role children have in spread the virus.
A study from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital discovered that children younger than 5 years with mild to moderate COVID-19 have much higher levels of genetic material for the virus in the nose compared to older children and adults.
In fact, children can have up to 100 times more of the virus in the nose, according to the study which was published Thursday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.
Local
Lead author, Dr. Taylor Heald-Sargent, pediatric infectious diseases specialist at Lurie Children’s, and colleagues analyzed 145 cases of mild to moderate COVID-19 illness within the first week of symptom onset, according to a press release from the hospital.
They compared the viral load in three age groups – children younger than 5 years, children 5-17 years and adults 18-65 years.
“This has important public health implications, especially during discussions on the safety of reopening schools and daycare,” said Dr. Heald-Sargent. “…Our study was not designed to prove that younger children spread COVID-19 as much as adults, but it is a possibility.”
Researchers determined the ability of younger children to spread COVID-19 may have been under-recognized given the rapid and sustained closure of schools and daycare during the pandemic, the news release stated.

]]>The post Administration asks FCC to carry out Trump’s tech crackdown appeared first on Virus Reports.
]]>What the administration says: “It has long been the policy of the United States to foster a robust marketplace of ideas on the Internet and the free flow of information around the world,” said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in a statement. “President Trump is committed to protecting the rights of all Americans to express their views and not face unjustified restrictions or selective censorship from a handful of powerful companies.”
Trump’s May 28 executive order had called on the Commerce Department, in consultation with the Justice Department, to file this petition within 60 days. It’s part of Trump’s broader crackdown of what he has dubbed Silicon Valley censorship of conservative viewpoints, centered in large part on the prized liability protections enshrined in a 1996 statute known as Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
Section 230 shields internet companies from liability over content that their platform users post but also gives them broad leeway to moderate that content.
Trump issued his order after denouncing Twitter’s decision to append fact-checking labels onto tweets into which had made claims about fraud in mail-in balloting.
What the petition asks: The executive branch is requesting the FCC to come up with rules addressing several aspects of interpreting the 1996 statute. It asks the FCC to “[m]andate disclosure for internet transparency similar to that required of other internet companies, such as broadband service providers.” The FCC now applies such transparency requirements on internet providers as part of net neutrality protections, but it has never attempted to do the same to social media platforms.
“The FCC should use its authorities to clarify ambiguities in section 230 so as to make its interpretation appropriate to the current internet marketplace and provide clearer guidance to courts, platforms, and users,” said the 57-page petition from the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
Among the asks: Specify that Section 230 doesn’t apply to internet companies’ “decision, agreement, or action to restrict access to or availability of material provided by another information content provider or to bar any information content provider from using an interactive computer service.” It asks the FCC to provide “clearer guidance” on what content warrants protection from liability and the nature of good faith content moderation.
The petition is signed by Douglas Kinkoph, the acting head of NTIA. The Commerce agency has lacked a Senate-confirmed head for more than a year, with no new leader nominated.
And here come the legal questions: But the FCC’s role here is hotly contested given its lack of authority over the social media companies at the heart of debate and historical questions surrounding any speech-related regulation — questions that could make any commission action’s actual power legally dubious.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has not said how he may go about kicking off a rulemaking, as the order requests. Many following the issue expect the agency will collect rounds of public comment before acting. As the head of an independent agency, Pai doesn’t have to abide by any administration directives.
Political pressures abound, and to advance any eventual proposed re-interpretation of Section 230, Pai will require support from at least two of his four colleagues.
“The importance of disclosure to our communications networks cannot be underestimated,” said the NTIA petition, which defended the FCC’s authority. “Chairman Pai recognizes that democracies must require transparency and to ensure the proper function of essential communications networks.”
The tech industry vehemently opposes Trump’s crackdown.
“The demand that the FCC take on the role of ‘Ministry of Truth’ is designed to pressure social media companies to bias content moderation decisions in the Administration’s political favor,” said Matt Schruers, who represents tech companies as the head of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, in a statement. “While digital services are busy fighting online misinformation and foreign influence during a pandemic and ahead of an election, it is disappointing to see the Administration instead doubling down on an obviously unlawful Executive Order.”
Where the commissioners fall: The FCC’s two Democrats both reject the idea of a commission role, and GOP Commissioner Mike O’Rielly has questioned whether the lawmakers who crafted the 1996 provision intended any grant of authority for the agency.
“The FCC shouldn’t take this bait,” said Jessica Rosenworcel, the commission’s senior Democrat, Monday. “While social media can be frustrating, turning this agency into the President’s speech police is not the answer. If we honor the Constitution, we will reject this petition immediately.”
Republican Commissioner Brendan Carr, meanwhile, has enthusiastically echoed Trump’s rhetoric surrounding alleged tech industry bias and said the statute’s presence in telecom law gives the agency a hook to give interpretative guidance. He advocates imposing transparency regulations on tech companies and floated an idea that consumers be able to turn off the fact checking that online platforms apply. Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, retweeted Carr on Monday as the commissioner shared his new op-ed — not he first time he’s landed on the first family’s radar this year.
The NTIA petition cites Carr’s own words when making allegations about the bias of online platforms. Social media giants have denied any systemic bias.
“Unfortunately, few academic empirical studies exist of the phenomenon of social media bias,” the NTIA petition notes.
Although some Senate Republicans are pushing Pai to act, he has avoided saying much of anything. “I can assure you that we will carefully review it,” the agency chief simply told Republicans in a letter released Friday. FCC spokesperson Brian Hart said the same when asked for comment on Monday.

]]>FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — A mosquito that is known to carry yellow fever has been found in Merced County.
The Merced County Mosquito Abatement District says the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were found in the Le Grand area.
They added that this is the third time the mosquito has been found in Merced County since 2017.
The district says they are investigating the matter and will take measures to prevent the spread, such as inspecting homes in the area.
“This is the first detection of Aedes aegypti in Le Grand and the third city in Merced County to harbor the invasive Aedes mosquito. Having Aedes aegypti in our District is very concerning as it is an efficient vector in spreading Zika, dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses,” said Rhiannon Jones, General Manager of Merced County Mosquito Abatement District.
The district added that residents can lower the risk of being bitten by the mosquito by draining standing water, using certain repellents and avoiding pools in poor conditions.

]]>You wash your hands more than you wash your face mask—and new research shows maybe that’s not such a good thing. “A new report from an Italian health authority explains that SARS-CoV-2″—that’s the coronavirus—”can survive on the interior of face masks for as long as 4 days, which is an important reminder that masks have to be handled with care, especially if you’re handling them for a loved one who is infected,” reports BGR.
Yes, you read that right: 4 days on the interior.
“The ISS says that SARS-CoV-2 particles have been detected on the interior side of the mask as long as 4 days after a mask was worn, and up to 7 days on the exterior,” continues the website, quoting a report from HuffPost Italy. “A separate study a few weeks ago also explained that the novel coronavirus can survive up to 7 days on the surface of face masks.”
Although the CDC recently said the transmission of COVID-19 on surfaces is unlikely, the agency added that there was still more research to do and urged you to clean surfaces you touch—including your mask—to protect yourself and others from catching the virus.
How to Clean Your Face Mask
The CDC offers comprehensive advice about how to keep your face mask germ free:
“Washing Machine
-
You can include your face covering with your regular laundry.
-
Use regular laundry detergent and the warmest appropriate water setting for the cloth used to make the face covering.
Washing by Hand
-
Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
-
5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) household bleach per gallon of room temperature water or
-
4 teaspoons household bleach per quart of room temperature water
-
Check the label to see if your bleach is intended for disinfection. Some bleach products, such as those designed for safe use on colored clothing, may not be suitable for disinfection. Ensure the bleach product is not past its expiration date. Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser.
-
Soak the face covering in the bleach solution for 5 minutes.
-
Rinse thoroughly with cool or room temperature water.
Make sure to completely dry cloth face covering after washing.
How to Dry
Dryer
-
Use the highest heat setting and leave in the dryer until completely dry
Air Dry
