(The Hill) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention no longer recommends universal masking in health care settings, unless the facilities are in areas of high COVID-19 transmission. The agency quietly issued the updates as part of an overhaul to its infection control guidance for health workers published late Friday afternoon. It marks a major departure from the agency’s previous recommendation for universal masking. “Updates were made to reflect the high levels of vaccine-and infection-induced immunity and the availability of effective treatments and prevention tools,” the CDC’s new guidance says. Now, the CDC says facilities in regions without high transmission can “choose not to require” all doctors, patients, and visitors to mask. Transmission is different from the community levels CDC uses to guide non-healthcare settings. Community transmission refers to measures of the presence and spread of SARS-CoV-2, CDC said. “It is the metric currently recommended to guide select practices in healthcare settings to allow for earlier intervention, before there is strain on the healthcare system and to better protect the individuals seeking care in these settings,” CDC said. Right now, about 73 percent of the US is experiencing “high”rates of transmission. Community levels “place an emphasis on measures of the impact of COVID-19 in terms of hospitalizations and healthcare system strain, while accounting for transmission in the community,” CDC said. Only 7 percent of counties are considered high risk, while nearly 62 percent of counties are considered low. In addition, the new guidance includes a list of exceptions when people might choose to mask, compared to the previous guidance that included a list of exceptions when masking was not recommended. Even if masking is not universally required, if a provider works in a part of the facility experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak, or if they care for immunocompromised patients, they should wear a mask. When transmission levels are high, masking is recommended for everyone in a healthcare setting when they are in areas of the healthcare facility where they could encounter patients. Providers can choose not to wear masks when they are in “well-defined areas” that are restricted from patient access, like staff meeting rooms. Public health experts said the updates will make it so fewer people in hospitals and nursing homes wear masks, putting patients and providers at risk. Megan Ranney, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, tweeted that the new guidance could result in places with substantial transmission unmasking sick patients who haven’t yet been tested for COVID-19, right next to the elderly, chemo patients, people with pulmonary disorders, and vulnerable pregnant women. “This nuanced have your cake and eat it too approach hasn’t worked A SINGLE TIME throughout the pandemic. People hear “no more masks!” tweeted Jerome Adams, who served as surgeon general during the Trump administration.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – While the city is celebrating Balloon Fiesta, the Albuquerque Grecian Fest is in full swing. The event is hosted at a local church. At Saint George’s Greek Orthodox Church, visitors were given a look into Greek culture including artwork, jewelry, food, and dancing. It’s also a chance to learn about the community and the history of the church. “These Greek families know community life, and they are very community-oriented, so when you come that’s the kind of welcome you get, that you’re coming to family and a community, but they also want to share with you a culture, and some of this culture is centuries old,” said Paul Bates. The event costs $5 and runs until 5 p.m. Sunday. The location is just off of Lead and I-25.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The 50th Anniversary Balloon Fiesta continued on October 2 with a slight weather delay, but that didn’t stop fiesta goers from having a good time. People from all over the world come to New Mexico for Balloon Fiesta to see hot air balloons fill the sky. But sometimes the weather gets in the way. “We’re always concerned about that, but there’s no control over mother nature, so we’re here to have a good time either way,” said Tim Hodges from Texas. On day two of this year’s Fiesta, officials determined weather conditions would delay the mass ascension. Nerves were at an all-time high, ”Today’s our only day, so yeah, it needs to happen today this morning,” one visitor shared.

It didn’t take long for things to turn around for the better. Just before 8 a.m., the yellow flag was lowered and a green flag was put up in its place. Soon after, hundreds of hot air balloons took to the sky. “We love the balloons; we love just to come down here and hang out, and, of course, we’re local so we see them from our house,” said Sherri Sanchez. First-time Balloon Fiesta goers said the event exceeded their expectations – even with its rocky start Sunday morning. “This is actually pretty surreal, like I haven’t seen people float away like that before. So, I just like seeing the baskets going up and all the people in it,” shared Dheya Pio from Chicago. The Lee family drove seven hours from Colorado, and they say it was well worth it. “We recommend everyone come and check it out. It’s a one-in-a-lifetime kind of thing to check for yourself,” said Joshua Lee. If you didn’t catch the Balloon Fiesta this weekend, there are plenty of more opportunities. The event runs through October 9. Click here for all the details you need to know.

(The Hill) – President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan was abruptly updated on Thursday to exclude borrowers with privately held federal student loans, according to Education Department guidance. As of Thursday, borrowers with federal student loans not held by the Education Department are no longer eligible to obtain one-time debt relief by consolidating those loans into Direct Loans, the guidance said. The department said only borrowers in the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program whose loans are held by the federal government are eligible. The FFEL program, which stopped issuing loans in 2010, was a student loan system that had private banks manage the loans but were guaranteed by the federal government. Borrowers with privately-held FFEL Program loans and Perkins Loans who had applied to consolidate into the Direct Loan program before Thursday — when the administration abruptly updated its guidance — are still eligible for one-time debt relief through the Direct Loan program. The Education Department also said it is “assessing whether there are alternative pathways to provide relief to borrowers with federal student loans not held by ED, including FFEL Program loans and Perkins Loans, and is discussing this with private lenders.” Over 4 million student loan borrowers have privately-held FFEL loans, according to NPR. Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan is set to forgive $10,000 in federal student loan debt for borrowers earning under $125,000 and $20,000 for borrowers who received Pell Grants. Earlier this week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported that the plan will cost about $400 billion. It also projected that 90 percent of income-eligible borrowers will apply for debt cancellation. The White House pushed back on the report, saying it’s unlikely that 90 percent of eligible borrowers will take advantage of the program. Biden’s plan also faced the first of its legal challenges this week. Six Republican-led states filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the administration in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, arguing the proposal is unlawful because there is no statute from Congress authorizing the cancellation of student loan debt. Earlier this week, public interest firm Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) filed a lawsuit against the administration, challenging it through a plaintiff who is currently paying off loans and would be subject to an expensive tax in the event of debt relief because he lives in Indiana, one of several states that considers debt cancellation taxable income. The White House has cited the Heroes Act to justify the forgiveness program when pressed on how it will uphold in court against legal challenges. The act allows the Education Department to waive or modify statutes or provisions related to student financial assistance programs during war or national emergencies, with the COVID-19 pandemic being a justification for debt cancellation.

MALANG, Indonesia (AP) — Police firing tear gas after an Indonesian soccer match in an attempt to stop violence triggered a disastrous crush of fans making a panicked, chaotic run for the exits, leaving at least 125 people dead, most of them trampled upon or suffocated. Attention immediately focused on police crowd-control measures at Saturday night’s match between host Arema FC of East Java’s Malang city and Persebaya Surabaya. Witnesses described officers beating them with sticks and shields before shooting tear gas canisters directly into the crowds. It was among the deadliest disasters ever at a sporting event. President Joko Widodo ordered an investigation of security procedures, and the president of FIFA called the deaths “a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension.” While FIFA has no control over domestic games, it has advised against the use of tear gas at soccer stadiums. Brawls are common among rival Indonesian soccer fans, so much so that the organizer had banned Persebaya supporters from Arema’s stadium. But violence still broke out when the home team lost 3-2 and some of the 42,000 Arema fans, known as “Aremania,” threw bottles and other objects at players and soccer officials. Witnesses said the fans flooded the Kanjuruhan Stadium pitch and demanded that Arema management explain why, after 23 years of undefeated home matches against Persebaya, this one ended in a defeat. At least five police vehicles were toppled and set ablaze outside the stadium. Riot police responded by firing tear gas, including toward the stadium’s stands, causing panic among the crowd. “The stadium turned into a smoke-filled battleground when police fired tear gas,” said Rizky, who goes by one name. He came with his cousin to watch the game. “I felt hot and stinging in my eyes, I couldn’t see clearly while my head was dizzy and everything went dark … I passed out,” he said. When he woke up, he was already in the emergency room. He said his cousin died because of head injuries. “We wanted to entertain ourselves by watching a football match, but we got disaster,” he said. Another spectator, Ahmad Fatoni, said police had started beating the fans with sticks and shields, and they fought back. Story continues below: - Albuquerque: Albuquerque Isotopes remove iconic centerfield hill - Ballon Fiesta: Balloon Fiesta Schedule of Events 2022 - Crime: APD: 93 arrested during warrant roundup operation - Top Story: ABQ restaurants bracing for Balloon Fiesta tourists amid staffing shortages “Officers fired tear gas directly at spectators in the stands, forcing us to run toward the exit,” he said. “Many victims fell because of shortness of breath and difficulty seeing due to tear gas and were trampled.” He said he climbed the roof of the stands and only came down when the situation calmed. Others suffocated and were trampled as hundreds of people ran to the exit to avoid the tear gas. In the chaos, 34 died at the stadium, including two officers, and some reports include children among the casualties. “Some were trampled, some fell down and some got hit,” Rian Dwi Cahyono told Sky News from the hospital, where he was being treated for an injured arm. Asked what triggered the panic, he replied: “Tear gas.” National Police chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo said the death toll had been revised to 125 from 174, after authorities found some of the victims were counted twice. More than 100 were receiving intensive treatment in eight hospitals, 11 of them in critical condition. East Java police chief Nico Afinta defended the use of tear gas. “We have already done a preventive action before finally firing the tear gas as (fans) began to attack the police, acting anarchically and burning vehicles,” he told a news conference early Sunday. Indonesia’s soccer association, known as PSSI, suspended the premier soccer league Liga 1 indefinitely in light of the tragedy and banned Arema from hosting soccer matches for the remainder of the season. Grieving relatives waited for information about their loved ones at Malang’s Saiful Anwar General Hospital. Others tried to identify the bodies laid at a morgue while medical workers put identification tags on the bodies of the victims. “I deeply regret this tragedy and I hope this is the last soccer tragedy in this country, don’t let another human tragedy like this happen in the future,” Widodo said in a televised speech. “We must continue to maintain sportsmanship, humanity and a sense of brotherhood of the Indonesian nation.” He ordered the sports minister, the national police chief and the PSSI chair to conduct a thorough evaluation of the country’s soccer and its security procedure. Youth and Sports Minister Zainudin Amali said the incident “has certainly injured our soccer image.” Indonesia is due to host the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup from May 20 to June 11, with 24 participating teams. As the host, the country automatically qualifies for the cup. In a statement, FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed condolences on behalf of the global football community, saying “the football world is in a state of shock.” The statement did not mention the use of tear gas. At the Vatican, Pope Francis said he was praying for “all those who have lost their live and were injured in the clashes that erupted after a soccer game in Malang, Indonesia.” The restriction on Persebaya fans from entering the stadium was imposed after clashes between supporters of the two rival teams in East Java’s Blitar stadium in February 2020 caused 250 million rupiah ($18,000) in damage. Brawls were reported outside the stadium during and after the semifinals of the East Java Governor’s Cup, which ended with Persebaya beating Arema 4-2. Rights groups responded to the tragedy by blaming the use of tear gas in the stadium by police. Citing FIFA’s stadium safety guidelines against the use of “crowd control gas” by pitch side stewards or police, Amnesty International called on Indonesian authorities to conduct a swift investigation into the use of tear gas and ensure that those who are found to have committed violations are tried in open court and do not merely receive internal or administrative sanctions. Usman Hamid, executive director of Amnesty International Indonesia, said tear gas should only be used to disperse crowds when widespread violence has occurred and other methods have failed. People must be warned that tear gas will be used and allowed to disperse. “No one should lose their lives at a football match,” Hamid said. Hundreds of soccer fans, mostly wearing black shirts, held a candlelight vigil on Sunday night at Gelora Bung Karno, Indonesia’s largest sport stadium in the capital, Jakarta, for the victims of the disaster. They sang songs they composed to lift the spirits of the grieving Aremanias. Despite Indonesia’s lack of international accolades in the sport, hooliganism is rife in the soccer-obsessed country where fanaticism often ends in violence, as in the 2018 death of a Persija Jakarta supporter who was killed by a mob of hardcore fans of rival club Persib Bandung in 2018. Data from Indonesia’s soccer watchdog, Save Our Soccer, showed 78 people have died in game-related incidents over the past 28 years. Saturday’s game is already among the world’s worst crowd disasters, including the 1996 World Cup qualifier between Guatemala and Costa Rica in Guatemala City where over 80 died and over 100 more were injured. In April 2001, more than 40 people are crushed to death during a soccer match at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Google improves the Pixel battery widget by adding a new feature Back in March, Google added a useful battery widget for compatible Pixel models. The widget shows an icon and the name of the device whose battery is being tracked by the widget, and a light blue shading indicating the percentage life remaining for the battery which also appeared on the widget at the very end in numerical form. Besides your Pixel, the widget tracks the battery life of your left Pixel Bud, right Pixel Bud, and the wearable's carrying case. We'd expect the widget to also track the battery life of the Google Pixel Watch when it is released later this month. It already shows the battery life of smartwatches that run Wear OS. According to 9to5Google, the latest update to the Pixel battery widget adds another feature in Settings Services v1.1.0.476812811.sr. With the new feature, the widget will not only show you the percentage of battery life remaining but it will also show you how much time your device has before the battery conks out. So far, this feature hasn't appeared in the stable version of Android 13 but has surfaced in the Android 13 QPR1 Beta which means that those of you on the stable path might have to wait for the December Pixel Feature Drop to get the updated version of the battery widget. You can join the beta by going to google.com/android/beta and tapping on the box that says "View your eligible devices." From there, you will see an image of your Pixel device with a box that says "Opt in." Tap on the box and within 24 hours (usually, it comes immediately), you will receive the update. The change to the Pixel battery widget found in the Android 13 QPR1 Beta. Credit 9to5Google To install the update, go to Settings > System > System update. Now here is the caveat. Once you install the Beta, you cannot go back to the stable version of Android 13 until the December Pixel Feature Drop unless you wipe the data from your phone. Once the Feature Drop is, well, dropped on December 5th (the first Monday of that month), you'll be able to opt-out of the Beta without having to wipe the data from your Pixel phone. Keep in mind that you can also see how much time your battery has left by going to Settings and looking for the Battery listing. There, you will see the approximate amount of time remaining until your Pixel's battery rolls over and plays dead. Speaking of the battery, we have seen a marked improvement in battery life lately on the Pixel 6 Pro. And don't forget that this Thursday, October 6th, Google will unveil the Pixel 7 series, the Pixel Google Watch, and a couple of Nest devices. We also might see previews for the Pixel Tablet and the foldable Pixel Notepad. The festivities begin at 10 am EDT (7 am PDT). Loading Comments...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats drove their election-year economic package toward Senate approval early Sunday, debating a measure with less ambition than President Joe Biden's original domestic vision but that touches deep-rooted party dreams of slowing global warming, moderating pharmaceutical costs and taxing immense corporations. Debate began Saturday and by early Sunday morning, Democrats had swatted down over a dozen Republican amendments designed to torpedo the legislation or create campaign ads attacking Democratic senators. Despite unanimous GOP opposition, Democratic unity in the 50-50 chamber — buttressed by Vice President Kamala Harris' tiebreaking vote — suggested the party was on track for a morale-boosting victory three months from elections when congressional control is at stake. "I think it's gonna pass," Biden told reporters as he left the White House early Sunday to go to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, ending his COVID-19 isolation. The House seemed on track to provide final congressional approval when it returns briefly from summer recess on Friday. "It will reduce inflation. It will lower prescription drug costs. It will fight climate change. It will close tax loopholes and it will reduce the deficit," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said of the package. "It will help every citizen in this country and make America a much better place." Republicans said the measure would undermine an economy that policymakers are struggling to keep from plummeting into recession. They said the bill's business taxes would hurt job creation and force prices skyward, making it harder for people to cope with the nation's worst inflation since the 1980s. "Democrats have already robbed American families once through inflation, and now their solution is to rob American families a second time," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., argued. He said spending and tax increases in the legislation would eliminate jobs while having insignificant impact on inflation and climate change. Nonpartisan analysts have said Democrats' "Inflation Reduction Act" would have a minor effect on surging consumer prices. The bill is barely more than one-tenth the size of Biden's initial 10-year, $3.5 trillion rainbow of progressive aspirations and abandons its proposals for universal preschool, paid family leave and expanded child care aid. Even so, the new measure gives Democrats a campaign-season showcase for action on coveted goals. It includes the largest ever federal effort on climate change — close to $400 billion — hands Medicare the power to negotiate pharmaceutical prices and extends expiring subsidies that help 13 million people afford health insurance. Biden's original measure collapsed after conservative Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., opposed it, saying it was too costly and would fuel inflation. In an ordeal imposed on all budget bills like this one, the Senate had to endure an overnight "vote-a-rama" of rapid-fire amendments. Each tested Democrats' ability to hold together a compromise negotiated by Schumer, progressives, Manchin and the inscrutable centrist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz. Progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., offered amendments to further expand the legislation's health benefits, and those efforts were defeated. Most votes were forced by Republicans and many were designed to make Democrats look soft on U.S.-Mexico border security and gasoline and energy costs, and like bullies for wanting to strengthen IRS tax law enforcement. Before debate began Saturday, the bill's prescription drug price curbs were diluted by the Senate's nonpartisan parliamentarian. Elizabeth MacDonough, who referees questions about the chamber's procedures, said a provision should fall that would impose costly penalties on drug makers whose price increases for private insurers exceed inflation. It was the bill's chief protection for the 180 million people with private health coverage they get through work or purchase themselves. Under special procedures that will let Democrats pass their bill by simple majority without the usual 60-vote margin, its provisions must be focused more on dollar-and-cents budget numbers than policy changes. But the thrust of their pharmaceutical price language remained. That included letting Medicare negotiate what it pays for drugs for its 64 million elderly recipients, penalizing manufacturers for exceeding inflation for pharmaceuticals sold to Medicare and limiting beneficiaries out-of-pocket drug costs to $2,000 annually. The bill also caps Medicare patients' costs for insulin, the expensive diabetes medication, at $35 monthly. The measure's final costs were being recalculated to reflect late changes, but overall it would raise more than $700 billion over a decade. The money would come from a 15% minimum tax on a handful of corporations with yearly profits above $1 billion, a 1% tax on companies that repurchase their own stock, bolstered IRS tax collections and government savings from lower drug costs. Sinema forced Democrats to drop a plan to prevent wealthy hedge fund managers from paying less than individual income tax rates for their earnings. She also joined with other Western senators to win $4 billion to combat the region's drought. It was on the energy and environment side that compromise was most evident between progressives and Manchin, a champion of fossil fuels and his state's coal industry. Clean energy would be fostered with tax credits for buying electric vehicles and manufacturing solar panels and wind turbines. There would be home energy rebates, funds for constructing factories building clean energy technology and money to promote climate-friendly farm practices and reduce pollution in minority communities. Manchin won billions to help power plants lower carbon emissions plus language requiring more government auctions for oil drilling on federal land and waters. Party leaders also promised to push separate legislation this fall to accelerate permits for energy projects, which Manchin wants to include a nearly completed natural gas pipeline in his state.

More human remains discovered as drought dries Lake Mead LAS VEGAS (AP) — More human remains have been found at drought-stricken Lake Mead National Recreation Area east of Las Vegas, authorities said Sunday. It’s the fourth time since May that remains have been uncovered as Western drought forces the shoreline to retreat at the shrinking Colorado River reservoir behind the Hoover Dam. National Park Service officials said rangers were called to the reservoir between Nevada and Arizona around 11 a.m. Saturday after skeletal remains were discovered at Swim Beach. Rangers and a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police dive team went to retrieve the remains. Park Service officials said the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office will try to determine when and how the person died as investigators review records of missing people. On May 1, a barrel containing human remains was found near Hemenway Harbor. Police believe the remains were that of a man who died from a gunshot wound and the body was likely dumped in the mid-1970s to early 1980s. Less than a week later, authorities say human skeletal remains were found at Calville Bay. More recently, partial human remains were found in the Boulder Beach area on July 25. Police have speculated that more remains may be discovered as the water level at Lake Mead continues to recede. The discoveries have prompted speculation about long-unsolved missing person and murder cases dating back decades — to organized crime and the early days of Las Vegas, which is just a 30-minute drive from the lake. The lake surface has dropped more than 170 feet (52 meters) since the reservoir was full in 1983. The drop in the lake level comes while a vast majority of peer-reviewed science says the world is warming, mainly because of rising levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Scientists say the U.S. West, including the Colorado River basin, has become warmer and drier in the past 30 years. Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
