A OFFICER IN PHILADELPHIA TEST POSITIVE Philadelphia

Fire in house lead to 4 injured people including a toddler in Philadelphia

Between other 4 extremely wounded people, investigators say, a young child immediately rushed through into the local hospital when smoke and flames suddenly broke about in a house in the Northeastern side of Philadelphia. As they came straight to their house at morning at the 4700 city block of Kendrick Avenue, out at around 5:00 a.m., the volunteer firefighters met with strong and heavy fire and smoke on Monday. Among 4 people who were rescued from the home under fire were a two years old child and his mother who is reported to be 30 years of age. 2 more men were also rescued who were present on the second floor of the house which was entirely occupied with flames and fire.

"We had seen the baby's remained unanswered, but I actually didn't realized the reason behind it. It is indeed a great pity. It is also a tragedy. They are good human beings, and that this is a terrible tragedy. She has always been playing alongside with him here, "retorted Dana, a neighbor across the street. On the first floor police officers and firefighters eventually found the wife and the baby.

Lanternflies all around the Pennsylvania

Rendering to the information reported by a Pennsylvania research centre published on Thursday, the dotted lantern-fly which is known to be an endemic Asian pest causing mayhem on treasured and important trees and shrubs and grapes, probably has a worth in Pennsylvania around $51 million and effectively threatens about 400 workers each year. The research shows the very first effort by researchers to estimate the environmental damage instigated by the sufficiently big vibrant plant hopper. It was first observed in the United States in 2014 and has since adapt and overcome the southwestern region of the world in County of Berks and quickly spreads to the neighboring states.

Lantern-flies are anticipated to damage big plants like pine, oak and walnut trees, but not permanently incapacitate them. Wayne, who is the head of the Pennsylvania Production Committee, which is a fragment of the country department of cultivation, states it could constrain importations from Pennsylvania to avert possible threats against tree morbidity. Scientists otherwise tested lantern control methods with chemical and biological processes. Government entities eradicate the tree from public property, the nuisance tree which is the favored by lantern host.

Shortage of medicinal marijuana in Pennsylvania

There is no marijuana in Pennsylvania to be out there. For months straight, medicinal marijuana pharmacies have been negatively affected by drug shortages across the whole world. Dry medical marijuana leaf was extremely challenging to come across. Rocco, Head of operations for Solevo Health, has Squirrel Hills and Cranberry medical marijuana dispensaries, had said that "even though it's so sad and depressing but I'm probably going to put out 2 branches in the early morning and by Twelve p.m. or One p.m. that they are probably gone." It is less terribly bad than in early to mid-2018, when the medical marijuana dispensaries have been completely exhausted from the medicinal marijuana program during the first few quarters. Other forms of medicinal marijuana has always been available for purchase.

The district's 77 retailers would have to buy medical marijuana from federal government-licensed producers. According to department chief spokesman Nate, the Pennsylvanian state health department granted 26 licenses for the system but still only 21 are operating with only 15 selling products. Once dry marijuana became eventually added to Pennsylvania's legal medical marijuana registry in 2018, company owners actively promoted the move as the logical response to the shorter supply and higher price in Pennsylvania's in the initial days. Pot flower is also classified as dry marijuana. It ensures that farmers can continue to produce more medical marijuana significantly faster than other more drugs.

EMERGENCY LOCK DOWN IN PHOENIX AND POSITIVE RESPONSE OF CITY COUNCIL ON IT

Past week, the phoenix authorities exchange dialogue and voted to affirm the lock down beneath city code. Mayor pronounced the state of crisis on March 17 at 8 pm, which ordered to shut bars, exercise center's and other indoor offices straight away and eateries are permitted only to deliver, take away, and drive-through service as it were to end the spread of corona virus.

The agriculturist businesses are not closed beneath Gov. Doug Ducey's Thursday announcement like other administrations dropped down in phoenix on Friday.

Brian Webb of FOX 10’s, witnesses the discoursed between authorities and told that all council members approved the emergency lock down to manage up with this pandemic crisis.

A small change in order was made by A vice Mayor Betty Guardado, which's upheld by Michael Nowakowski to implement a local emergency and reserve mayor’s authority to implement a great emergency in the future and this was also approved.

But Pheonix City Council member Sal Dicicco disagreed with Chairman Gallego’s decision. He declared his opposition openly on his social media, contending that with the declaration of an extraordinary emergency rather than a local emergency will give Chairmen Gallego the boundless authority to rule the Phoenix in future.

Diciccio also Tweeted on social media that, this is like a military law, and there's completely no way I can or ever will go along with, but he supported sensible safety measures for businesses and people amid this crisis.

HOUSTON OPENING FOUR SITES FOR THE TESTING OF COVID-19

As positive cases of COVID-19 increasing and the infection rising rate on all states. Government and healthcare department are experiencing supreme difficulty to screen people for COVID-19,

There is a shortage of tests for corona-virus across the county. According to a recent survey, Texas has not enough prevention and screening tools like other states. Due to this shortage, the proper screening apparatus is inaccessible even for people showing corona-virus symptoms.

The self-quarantine and public separation is the best way to stop transmission of the infection and there is no gain in testing an infection that has no remedy, said Dr Dona Murphy.

Dr Dona said, the main concern for every person should be to stop the virus, the screening should for patients showing symptoms and the health care staff which come in contact routinely with the patients.

Legacy-Community Health has 3 sites of Houston for corona-virus screen And access to the test given to those people who are showing the cough, pyrexia, dyspnoea, and any pulmonary conditions or those who have traveled recently (domestically or internationally).

MD Anderson’s Diagnostic. Imaging hospital also offers corona-virus testing to present Anderson’s patients and staff.

Harris district Public Health and the City of Houston are probably going to open 4 screening area for COVID-19 in conjunction with F.E.M.A. Mayor announced that the first site will be opened on weekday March 21 at Butler Stadium and it would be cost-free.

My Fam Doctor also has one drive-through screening for COVID-19, at 6430 Hill croft that open 5 working days a week, 8 am to 4 pm. Here importance will be given to those who show symptoms and priority will be given to the ailing, old age person and a person who is suffering any chronic disease.

Method Validation for Usage of New Tri-Carb 3180 TR/SL Liquid Scintillation Counter as an Auxiliary Counting System for the Determination of Gross Alpha and Gross Beta Activities in Water .

The Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW) includes the determination of the radiological quality of drinking water to ensure that water is safe from contamination due to fallout, or suspected sources of radiological impurities such as hospitals and industries. The standards require testing for gross alpha and gross beta (excluding radon) as an initial screening technique to assess the radiological quality of water . The standard limits are; 0.1 Bq/L for gross alpha and 1.0 Bq/L for gross beta. A liquid scintillation (LSA) based method that requires smaller sample quantities, less sample preparation time and operator intervention, and produces adequate minimum detection levels for local drinking water guidelines has been developed which uses Tri-Carb 3170 TR/SL and Wallac 1414 counting systems, and has been found to be adequate and sensitive for the simultaneous determination of alpha and beta counts. Detection limits of ≤0.05 Bq/L for gross alpha and ≤0.3 Bq/L for gross beta were achieved for a total of two hours counting per sample. The method was accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 by the Philippine Accreditation Office in 2009. A new liquid scintillation counting system (Tri-Carb 3180 TR/SL) has been acquired. This system has been marked AMR-LSC-03. The use of the new counter requires method validation before use, to verify that the same results, as those generated using the Tri-Carb 3170 TR/SL (AMR_LSC_02) are obtained using Tri-Carb 3180 TR/SL (AMR-LSC-03). The method developed was validated by comparing the results obtained for alpha counts using Am 241 standard and beta using Cl 36 standard. Results generated by the Tri-Carb 3180 TR/SL (AMR-LSC-03) were generally acceptable. Detection limits of ≤0.05 Bq/L for gross alpha and ≤0.3 Bq/L for gross beta were achieved using the Tri-Carb 3180 TR/SL (AMR-LSC-03) for a total of four hours counting per sample.
