Starbucks worker contracts hepatitis A,
possibly exposing thousands

Original Article

A New Jersey Starbucks employee who handled food tested positive for hepatitis A, prompting fears that “thousands” may have been exposed to the highly contagious liver disease. The incident occurred at the Starbucks outlet at 1490 Blackwood Clementon Road in Gloucester Township, where the food handler had reportedly worked multiple days this month while contagious. The department was notified of the infection on Nov. 17, whereupon they inspected and then subsequently shuttered the coffee shop—despite finding no evidence of food safety violations.(Snip)As a result, anyone who visited the location on Nov. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 or 13 is being urged to get the hepatitis A vaccine

Comments:

Maybe so, but the important thing is that Starbucks very proudly opened its restrooms and premises to homeless people and junkies. Go there and you can share.

Wasn’t this person wearing a mask? Didn’t they practice social distancing? Didn’t they get the jab?

"Millions" may be exposed to the highly contagious liver disease . . . every single minute of every single day, assuming you live on planet earth. Just make sure you wash your hands, never eat anything prepared by anyone else, and never put your plunger in the wrong hole.

Funny thing, I was driving home and as I passed Taco Bell, I thought i'll stop and get something "quick and dirty". A couple days later, on the news, I heard if you ate there recently, go to the health department and get a shot. I forgot the name of the medicine.

Gee, $8 for a fancy schmancy massively over-priced cup of coffee -- and a free side of Hep A. What a bargain...

This is awful but this is why we do not eat out in restaurants hardly ever now. I meet an awful lot of older couples especially who do the same. This happens more than the public is ever told.

What are the odds that the worker was an illegal, and brought it in with him/her from their third world stinkhole of a home country? The reason I got the vaccination for Hep A was travel in former soviet states, where this stuff is more commonly found.

Iowa’s Medicaid system must cover gender confirmation surgery, a judge ruled Friday. Polk County District Court Judge William P. Kelly ruled that a state law that blocked Medicaid from covering gender confirmation procedures violated the Iowa Civil Rights Act and the Iowa Constitution—allowing trans Iowans to receive coverage for medically necessary surgery to treat gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is defined as a “marked incongruence between their experienced or expressed gender and the one they were assigned at birth.” It is a serious medical condition that often begins in childhood, even though some people may not experience it until after puberty or even later, according to the American Psychiatric Association.
Dollar Tree hikes prices 25%. Most items

New York—Dollar Tree will soon be $1.25 tree. The company—one of America's last remaining true dollar stores—said Tuesday it will raise prices from $1 to $1.25 on the majority of its products by the first quarter of 2022. The change is a sign of the pressures low-cost retailers face holding down prices during a period of rising inflation. Dollar Tree (DLTR) said in a quarterly earnings release Tuesday that its decision to raise prices to $1.25 permanently, however, was "not a reaction to short-term or transitory market conditions." Selling stuff strictly for $1 hampered Dollar Tree, the company said, and forced it stop selling some

Migrants from Central America are rushing to the U.S. illegally not because of violence or natural disasters in their home countries but because of jobs, a major new study found, challenging claims that they are asylum-seekers fleeing persecution. The study also calculated that migrants from the emigration hubs of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala pay smugglers $1.7 billion a year to be shepherded into the U.S. illegally. And a staggering 43% of Central Americans have a desire to leave their home countries, up from just 8% a couple of years ago.(Snip)Still, nearly 30% of households in the three key countries reported getting money sent back home

Joe Biden filed an emergency lawsuit on Tuesday seeking to immediately reinstate its vaccine mandate for private employers with 100 or more workers after it faced a series of legal challenges. Earlier this month, the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans issued a preliminary pause on the order, which prevented the Occupational Safety and Health Administration from moving forward in implementing the employer rules. The Justice Department argues in its filing, according to The Wall Street Journal, that the rules reflect 'OSHA's judgment that these measures are necessary to mitigate Covid-19 transmission in the workplace, and the grievous harms the virus inflicts on workers.'

Russia has warned it can obliterate Nato satellites with its new 'Star Warrior' technology to render the West's GPS-guided missiles useless in the latest provocation in its stand-off with Ukraine. State TV last night claimed Moscow's anti-satellite (ASAT) missiles could destroy 32 Nato satellites and 'blind all their missiles, planes and ships, not to mention the ground forces.' The ASAT technology was tested on a defunct Soviet satellite last week, sending shrapnel flying towards the International Space Station (ISS), and provoking outrage from NASA and Washington.

Unjabbed 12 to 15-year-olds are just three per cent more likely to catch Covid compared to fully vaccinated children, Pfizer's own study suggests. Just 30 of around 1,100 youngsters (2.7 per cent) tested positive for the virus in the four months of the clinical study in the US last winter. None of the children were hospitalised or died from the virus and they were either asymptomatic or had a very mild illness. In the group of around 1,100 youngsters that were given two doses of the vaccine, none tested positive for the virus.(Snip)The vaccine side effects recorded were similar to those seen in older

Art handlers packed up an 884-pound statue of Jefferson in a wooden crate Monday after a mayoral commission voted to banish the likeness of the nation’s third president from City Hall where its resided for nearly two centuries—because he owned slaves. About a dozen workers with Marshall Fine Arts spent several hours carefully removing the painted plaster monument from its pedestal inside the City Council chambers and surrounding it with sections of foam and wooden boards. They then lowered the massive structure down the stairs leading to the building’s first-floor rotunda with a pulley system

President Biden on Monday will nominate Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for a second term. The decision, which was announced by Mr. Biden, ended a months-long guessing game about whether he would bow to pressure from his party’s progressive wing and replace Mr. Powell as the head of the nation’s most influential economic body. The president will also nominate Lael Brainard, who was the far-left’s pick to be the Fed’s next chairman, to serve as vice chair. Mr. Biden said he didn’t want to change course from the “remarkable progress” of the economic recovery in the last 10 months.

Whatever the jury decides, I’m afraid, will fail to address a damming question that the tragic incident symbolizes: How can Black people ever be secure in America? Executed by three strangers while jogging in a white neighborhood, Arbery’s killing reflects the mindset of domination in the culture of white supremacy: the belief that any random white person has the right to accost and detain a Black person with impunity.

The hypersonic glide vehicle - a spacecraft with the ability to carry a nuclear warhead - fired a missile mid-flight over the South China Sea, catching Pentagon scientists unawares.Experts at Darpa - the Pentagon's advanced research agency - are apparently still baffled at how China was able to defy the constraints of physics to fire a weapon from the vehicle travelling at hypersonic speed, the Financial Times reports.
