'USA Today' reports that pet owners are on high
alert after an infectious respiratory disease was
first detected among dogs several months ago.
According to the American Veterinary Medical
Association, the infection has now
been detected in over a dozen states.
Experts remain unsure what is causing the
illness, but say the common symptoms
appear to be coughing, sneezing and lethargy.
The mystery infection can also
lead to pneumonia and does not
respond to antibiotic treatments.
.
Since August, veterinarians have reported
over 200 cases in Oregon, while other states
have yet to report numbers of the infection.
.
I think a subset of animals
can develop pneumonia, more
or less like upper respiratory,
bronchitis, rhinitis, tracheitis, David Needle, Senior veterinary pathologist at the University of
New Hampshire’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, via 'USA Today'.
The Oregon Department of Agriculture warned pet
owners who notice symptoms, especially those related
to pneumonia, to contact a veterinarian immediately.
.
Experts suggest that dog owners make sure
their pets are up-to-date on their vaccines
and practice social distancing from other dogs.
Researchers who have been studying
the unknown illness for over a year say that
the small genome, a bacterium, is "host adapted"
and unlikely to spread to humans.
David Needle, senior veterinary pathologist at the University of New Hampshire, says that no cases
of owners getting sick have been reported.

Supreme Court Considers Letting Cities , Punish Homeless for Sleeping Outside.
On April 22, the Supreme Court will hear a case out of Grants Pass, Oregon, which has a population of less than 40,000, NPR reports. .
'Grants Pass v. Johnson' seeks to challenge two
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rulings which found fining or jailing the unhoused to be cruel and unusual punishment when they have no other alternative.
'Grants Pass v. Johnson' seeks to challenge two
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rulings which found fining or jailing the unhoused to be cruel and unusual punishment when they have no other alternative.
But Grants Pass argues that public health and safety are dependent on camping restrictions that are commonly found across America. .
The city contends that homeless encampments pose a danger to those living
in them, as well as to families and children.
This is because the encampments
are often filled with people who need
mental health and drug addiction resources.
Advocates for the unhoused say that criminalizing sleeping outside is counterproductive. .
Punishing someone for doing
something they have no control
over, no ability to not do, is not
going to end that status. In fact,
not only does criminalization not
work, it makes matters worse. , Ed Johnson of the Oregon Law Center, via NPR.
A criminal record and debt from fines would make it even more difficult for a homeless person to find housing, says Ed Johnson of the Oregon Law Center.
But many cities don't have
enough permanent housing to offer.
Grants pass could use about 4,000 more housing units, while the national
"deficit is in the millions," NPR reports.
The shortage has caused rents to skyrocket, which is a main driver of homelessness

This Day in History:, The Great San Francisco Earthquake.
April 18, 1906.
At 5:13 a.m., an earthquake
struck offshore of San Fransisco,
a city with a population of 400,000 at the time.
The quake was felt from
southern Oregon to Los Angeles,
and ruptured 296 miles of the San Andreas fault.
Destroying San Francisco's water mains,
the quake ignited massive, devastating
fires all over the city that could not be combated.
The fires burned for days,
resulting in the deaths of more than
3,000 people and destroying more than 28,000 buildings.
More than half of the city was
left homeless by the disaster.
Damages were estimated to close to $15 billion in
today's dollars. The recovery and rebuild allowed city
planners to make great improvements to San Francisco

The deal will help the U.S. to produce 20%

Failure is not an option — leading-edge
chips are the core of our innovation
system, especially when it comes
to advances in artificial intelligence
and our military systems, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, on a call with reporters.
We can't just design chips.
We have to make them in America, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, on a call with reporters.
Biden's funding announcement comes
amid a heated presidential campaign.
Administration officials want to get chip technology funding
"out the door as quickly as possible so that the Biden campaign can point to concrete progress on one of the
White House's signature programs," analysts say.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger called the
CHIPS Act "the most critical industrial
policy legislation since World War II.".
We think of this as a defining
moment for the United States, the
semiconductor industry and for Intel, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, via statement
