For this reason, it was particularly painful for many of these essential workers that when the first economic rescue packages were approved by Congress, mixed families were ignored, those made up of citizens of the United States, whose spouse is an undocumented immigrant.

A

estas alturas de la pandemia del COVID-19, que está poniendo en jaque al sistema de salud pública y a la economía de los Estados Unidos, nadie pone en duda las contribuciones significativas que la comunidad de trabajadores esenciales de origen latino ha hecho a lo largo de este trágico año que termina.

En los hospitales, campos de cultivo, las empacadoras de carne, la industria de la hospitalidad, los supermercados, un incontable número de latinas y latinos han estado y siguen arriesgando todos los días su vida haciendo los trabajos esenciales para llevar comida a nuestra mesa o cuidar a nuestros enfermos.

Por eso fue particularmente doloroso para muchos de estos trabajadores esenciales que durante los primeros paquetes de rescate económico aprobados por el Congreso fueran ignoradas las familias mixtas, aquellas compuestas por ciudadanas o ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos, cuyo cónyuge es una o un inmigrante indocumentado.

Se requirió de intensas negociaciones para que las familias mixtas fueran incluidas en la última versión del paquete de rescate económico aprobada en el Congreso y ahora podrán recibir el beneficio de un cheque de $600, para tratar de aliviar el peso que ha representado la pérdida de empleos a lo largo de la pandemia.

El nuevo paquete incluye además $300 semanales por desempleo durante 11 semanas, 284 mil millones de dólares de un nuevo paquete de apoyo a pequeños negocios, 82,000 millones de dólares para escuelas y universidades, 13,000 millones de dólares en asistencia nutricional y 25,000 millones de dólares en ayuda para renta.

Es un resultado justo para todas aquellas personas que merecen un alivio económico en medio de la pandemia, pero especialmente para aquellas más vulnerables entre nosotros que han continuado realizando los trabajos esenciales a un altísimo costo personal, toda vez que han sido afectadas desproporcionadamente por casos de Covid-19, hospitalizaciones y decesos.

Resulta obvio que el nuevo paquete de rescate económico será insuficiente para cubrir las necesidades de amplios sectores del país que han sido golpeados duramente por la

pandemia y sus secuelas. Por eso debe ser visto como un anticipo de un paquete más ambicioso y generoso que pueda ser promovido por el próximo gobierno a partir de enero.

Se espera que el gobierno de Joe Biden, que asume el poder al mediodía del 20 de enero, se mueva con velocidad para presentar esa nueva propuesta al nuevo Congreso.

Ojalá ese plan tenga el mismo espíritu inclusivo que el más reciente paquete de rescate económico. Es un acto de elemental justicia para todas las familias vulnerables que siguen arriesgando su vida por el bien de todos nosotros durante la peor emergencia de salud de nuestras vidas.

t this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is putting the public health system and the United States economy in check, no one doubts the significant contributions that the community of essential Latino workers has made throughout this tragic year.

In hospitals, farm fields, meatpacking companies, the hospitality industry, supermarkets, countless Latinas and Latinos have been and continue to risk their lives every day doing the essential jobs to bring food to our table or take care of our

Intense negotiations were required for mixed families to be included in the latest version of the economic rescue package approved in Congress and now they will be able to receive the benefit of a $600 check, to try to alleviate the burden that job loss has represented throughout the pandemic.

The new package also includes $300 a week for unemployment for 11 weeks, $284 billion from a new small business support package, $82 billion for schools and universities, $13 billion in nutritional assistance and $25 billion in rent help.

It is a fair result for all those people who deserve financial relief in the midst of the pandemic, but especially for those most vulnerable among us who have continued to perform essential jobs at an exceedingly high personal cost, since they have been disproportionately affected by cases of COVID-19, hospitalizations, and deaths.

It is obvious that the new economic rescue package will be insufficient to cover the needs of large sectors of the country that have been hit hard by the pandemic and its aftermath. That is why it should be seen as a preview of a more ambitious and generous package that can be promoted by the next government starting in January.

The Joe Biden administration, which takes office at noon on January 20, is expected to move with speed to present that new proposal to the new Congress.

Hopefully that plan has the same inclusive spirit as the latest economic rescue package. It is an act of elementary justice for all vulnerable families who continue to risk their lives for the good of all of us during the worst health emergency of our lives.

IT MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT TEST OF A CHILD’S LIFE. MOST AREN’T GETTING IT Early childhood advocates, with the support of key leaders, are working to expand developmental screenings statewide

A

Arlene Martínez California Health Report

received early developmental screenings in 2020 so far, due to the pandemic. There have been fewer in-person doctors’ visits across the board.

lionka Hernandez had a nagging feeling something was wrong with her 1-yearold son, Diego.

But the effort to get more children screened for developmental delays continues. Having a governor who “gets it” is huge, Little said. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who learned he was dyslexic in fifth grade, has made early childhood care and expanding pre-K education focal policies, though the pandemic slowed those plans. For example, he had to cut $159 million from a planned preschool expansion for 20,000 children.

There was his all-too-frequent smile, the way he was so quiet, and how he had spoken “mama” and “papa” at six months of age — and then stopped speaking altogether a few months later.

Time and again, Diego’s doctor dismissed Hernandez’ concerns. But by the time Diego went in for his 20-month check-up, the Oakland woman was done hearing he was just fine. In tears after that appointment, she begged a nurse at the reception desk to see a different doctor. The sympathetic nurse handed her a bag with programs and pamphlets, including one for a developmental screening and referral program called “Help Me Grow.”

Hernandez called.

Three months later, doctors at the Regional Center of the East Bay (where Help Me Grow had referred her) had diagnosed Diego with autism. Hernandez was in shock and not even clear what autism was, but she also felt intense relief.

“I felt depressed, thinking he wouldn’t be able to do this or that,” she said. “But over time, I’ve seen he has so many opportunities.”

Help Me Grow is a program of the First 5 Association of California, an organization formed in the late 1990s to address the developmental needs of children during the critical early years of life. Launched in Connecticut in 1997, Help Me Grow came to California in 2005 as Help Me Grow Orange County. It’s now present in approximately 30 counties. Help Me Grow works across the state to ensure specific developmental screenings happen when a child is 9 months, 18 months and 24 or 30 months old, as recommended by health experts.

Typically, developmental screenings are carried out at a doctor’s office, with parents filling out standardized questionnaires that the pediatrician then reviews. The questionnaires help doctors assess whether children are hitting typical physical, behavioral, speech, cognitive and other milestones. But not all pediatricians use the formal screening tools, and many children fall through the cracks. Children can also miss out on screenings for a variety of reasons, including inadequate access to health care.

Help Me Grow helps fill gaps in the developmental screening system by conducting screenings itself when necessary and connecting parents and children in need to resources and programs that can provide therapy and other services. Some children enter Early Start programs, which provide services to infants and toddlers with disabilities identified very early, including those who have complex medical conditions such as cerebral palsy.

California’s low screening rates Because there is no uniform reporting system among California’s patchwork of health care programs and services, it’s difficult to say with certainty how many children aren’t being screened.

“The entire administration and who he has appointed has been able to keep a finger on recognition of just how important it is to the longterm economic health of California,” Little said.

But statistics suggest the number is dire. According to the federal government’s third-party state-by-state data collector, only around 1 in 5 California children under 4 had received all three screenings in 2019. The state’s 21 percent screening rate was significantly below the national median of 33 percent.

Regardless of the exact screening rate, experts agree that tens of thousands of California children with developmental delays aren’t diagnosed until they hit the school system. For children whose delays are detected late, the ramifications can be lifelong. That’s because interventions such as behavioral, physical and speech therapy are often most effective when started during the toddler years.

Billions of connections are made in a young child’s brain, spurred by interactions with the world and people around them through touch, sounds, words and song. In fact, research shows between 85 and 90 percent of brain development occurs before a child turns 3.

“The first three years last forever,” said registered nurse Sheila Dedrick, manager of the Ventura-based New Parent Resource Center, part of the Community Memorial Health System.

When delays are caught early, services can help the child’s brain make the connections that are lacking. But as children get older, it’s “harder to break those brain habits,” said Heather Little, systems director of First 5.

“We’re not identifying kids early,” said Dr. Marti Baum, a pediatrician who is the lead for Help Me Grow in the Inland Empire. As a result, “they’re not getting services, and that means they’re already behind before they get started.”

Why screening rates are low There are many reasons screening levels are low: doctors are overburdened, parents don’t know to bring kids in, families lack transportation, or the legal status of the family may make the parents hesitant to seek care. Some families are also financially strapped and focused on basic survival, such as providing food and shelter for their children.

Disparities in screening rates between Black, Latino and white children also play a role. A

study released in August by the American Academy of Pediatrics found Black children were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder more than three years after parents expressed concern with their development.

The study noted that 47 percent of Black children with autism also had an intellectual disability compared to 27 percent of white children, who were tested and diagnosed much earlier. Structural racism, prejudice, education and income likely play a role in the disparities, the research suggests.

For Carolina Navarro and her son, Eduardo Loza, developmental screening was delayed due to a combination of things. There was the language barrier (Navarro’s primary language is Spanish), not being heard by her physician (he addressed her concerns about how little her toddler slept by prescribing sleep medicine), and her home in San Bernardino County’s high desert, which is far from resources.

Eduardo’s behavior concerned his mom. He slept only four hours a day and would do things repetitively like walk around a table for hours.

Though he was speaking before he turned 1 —detailing facts about the solar system and planets — it wasn’t back-and-forth conversation. In fact, Navarro thinks his advanced speech and photographic memory made it harder to get anyone to listen to her concerns that something might be wrong.

A challenge in expanding Help Me Grow is the way it’s funded — via a tobacco tax, which also supports First 5. Fewer people are smoking, which means ever-dwindling resources.

Sarah Crow, the First 5 Center for Children’s Policy managing director, said Help Me Grow has become savvier at leveraging partnerships and funding partners who see the value in the work.

First Five would like to see Help Me Grow in each county, although that may not be feasible due to funding constraints.

Baum, the Inland Empire-based doctor, said she wishes she could put a Help Me Grow flyer on every telephone pole in the state. Instead, the organization is working to send home a card with the parents of every newborn printed with a number to call to set up 9, 18, and 24 or 30 month screenings.

Help Me Grow and its partners are also working to streamline the data-collection process for doctors and medical offices, so they can better track developmental screenings. And parent advocates are working in communities across California to get the word out.

Gabriela Velasco of Orange is one of those advocates. Her son, Jair, was diagnosed with autism at 25 months, thanks to a phone call she made to Help Me Grow. At the time, no one took the concerns she had about her son’s behavior seriously, including her mother.

When Eduardo turned 14 months, Navarro began aggressively looking for help. It took over a year to get him in to see a sleep specialist because of the wait list, she said. Ultimately it took the involvement of her private insurer, the sleep specialist, a regional clinic and First 5 to get the diagnosis.

Now 12 years later, Jair dreams of being an engineer. As a Mommy and Me health educator at MOMS Orange County, Velasco feels blessed to be able to walk other parents through what can be their darkest days. Even her mom, who once dismissed Jair’s autism, is making public service announcement videos about the disorder in Spanish.

At age 3, Eduardo was diagnosed with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and low thyroid function.

“I want parents to know, never give up because it’s going to take a village,” Velasco said.

“We can make it together.”

After that, Navarro was able to assemble help: behavioral and speech therapists, teachers and other parents to seek advice from.

A push for solutions

Back in Oakland, Alionka Hernandez’s son Diego is now 9 years old and in fourth grade. He loves to read, draw, and film his own movies.

He talks about making cartoons when he gets older and teaching swimming lessons for children with disabilities — the water has always soothed him, Hernandez said.

There are indications that fewer children have

“I have so much to be grateful for,” she said.

“It’s a whole team,” Navarro said. “They make a big difference.”

PUEDE SER LA PRUEBA MÁS IMPORTANTE EN LA VIDA DE UN NIÑO. LA MAYORÍA NO LO ESTÁN RECIBIENDO Los defensores de la infancia temprana, con el apoyo de líderes importantes, están trabajando para expandir las evaluaciones del desarrollo en todo el estado.

A

Arlene Martínez California Health Report

Hay indicios de que, hasta el momento, menos niños han recibido evaluaciones del desarrollo temprano en 2020, debido a la pandemia. Ha habido menos visitas médicas en persona en todos los ámbitos.

lionka Hernández tenía la sensación de que algo andaba mal con su hijo de 1 año, Diego.

Sin embargo, continúa el esfuerzo por hacer que se examinen más niños para detectar retrasos en el desarrollo. Tener un gobernador que "lo entienda" es enorme, dijo Little. El gobernador Gavin Newsom, quien se enteró de que era disléxico en quinto grado, ha hecho que el cuidado de la primera infancia y la expansión de las políticas de educación preescolar sean focales, aunque la pandemia retrasó esos planes. Por ejemplo, tuvo que recortar $159 millones de una expansión preescolar planificada para 20.000 niños.

Su sonrisa era demasiado frecuente, la forma en que estaba tan callado y cómo había dicho "mamá" y "papá" a los seis meses de edad, para luego dejar de hablar por completo unos meses después.

Una y otra vez, el médico de Diego desestimó las preocupaciones de Hernández. Pero cuando Diego fue a su chequeo de 20 meses, la mujer oriunda de Oakland estaba harta de escuchar que todo estaba bien. Con lágrimas en los ojos, le rogó a una enfermera en el mostrador de recepción que lo enviara con otro médico. La enfermera comprensiva le entregó una bolsa con programas y folletos, incluido uno para un programa de evaluación y derivación del desarrollo llamado "Help Me Grow".

Hernández llamó.

Tres meses después, los médicos del Centro Regional de East Bay (donde Help Me Grow la había referido) le habían diagnosticado autismo a Diego. Hernández estaba en shock y ni siquiera tenía claro qué era el autismo, pero también sintió un intenso alivio.

"Me sentí deprimida, pensando que él no podría hacer esto o aquello", dijo. "Pero con el tiempo, he visto que tiene muchas oportunidades".

Help Me Grow es un programa de First 5 Association of California, una organización formada a fines de la década de los 90’s para abordar las necesidades de desarrollo de los niños durante los críticos primeros años de vida. Help Me Grow, lanzado en Connecticut en 1997, llegó a California en 2005 bajo el nombre Help Me Grow Orange County. Ahora está presente en aproximadamente 30 condados. Help Me Grow trabaja en todo el estado para garantizar que se realicen exámenes de desarrollo específicos cuando un niño tiene 9, 18, 24 ó 30 meses de edad, según lo recomendado por los expertos en salud.

Por lo general, las evaluaciones del desarrollo se llevan a cabo en el consultorio de un médico, y los padres completan cuestionarios estandarizados que luego el pediatra revisa. Los cuestionarios ayudan a los médicos a evaluar si los niños están alcanzando los objetivos físicos, conductuales, del habla, cognitivos y de otro tipo. Pero no todos los pediatras utilizan las herramientas formales de detección, y muchos niños se quedan atrás.

Los niños también pueden perderse las pruebas de detección por diversas razones, incluido el acceso inadecuado a la atención médica.

Help Me Grow ayuda a llenar los vacíos en el sistema de evaluación del desarrollo mediante la realización de evaluaciones internas cuando sea necesario y conectando a los padres y los niños que necesiten recursos y programas que pueden brindar terapia y otros servicios. Algunos niños ingresan a los programas Early Start, que brindan servicios a bebés y niños pequeños con discapacidades identificadas en etapas tempranas, incluidos aquellos que tienen afecciones médicas complejas, como parálisis cerebral.

“Toda la administración y quienes él ha designado han sido capaces de reconocer lo importante que es para la salud económica a largo plazo de California”, dijo Little.

erno federal, estado por estado, solo alrededor de 1 de cada 5 niños de California menores de 4 años habían recibido las tres evaluaciones en 2019. La tasa de detección del 21 por ciento del estado estaba significativamente por debajo de la media nacional del 33 por ciento.

Un estudio publicado en agosto por la Academia Estadounidense de Pediatría encontró que a los niños negros se les diagnosticó un trastorno del espectro autista más de tres años después de que los padres expresaran su preocupación por su desarrollo.

Independientemente de la tasa exacta de detección, los expertos coinciden en que decenas de miles de niños de California con retrasos en el desarrollo no se diagnostican hasta que ingresan al sistema escolar. Para los niños cuyo retraso se detecta tarde, las ramificaciones pueden durar toda la vida. Esto se debe a que las intervenciones como la terapia conductual, física y del habla suelen ser más eficaces cuando se inician durante la infancia.

El estudio señaló que el 47 por ciento de los niños negros con autismo también tenían una discapacidad intelectual en comparación con el 27 por ciento de los niños blancos, que fueron evaluados y diagnosticados mucho antes. El racismo estructural, los prejuicios, la educación y los ingresos probablemente juegan un papel en las disparidades, sugiere la investigación.

Se hacen miles de millones de conexiones en el cerebro de un niño pequeño, estimuladas por las interacciones con el mundo y las personas que lo rodean a través del tacto, los sonidos, las palabras y las canciones. De hecho, la investigación muestra que entre el 85 y el 90 por ciento del desarrollo del cerebro ocurre antes de que el niño cumpla 3 años.

“Los primeros tres años duran para siempre”, dijo la enfermera titulada Sheila Dedrick, gerente del Centro de Recursos para Padres Nuevos con sede en Ventura, parte del Sistema de Salud Community Memorial.

Cuando los retrasos se detectan temprano, los servicios pueden ayudar al cerebro del niño a establecer las conexiones que faltan. Pero a medida que los niños crecen, es "más difícil romper esos hábitos cerebrales", dijo Heather Little, directora de sistemas de First 5.

“No estamos identificando a los niños a temprana edad”, dijo el Dr. Marti Baum, un pediatra que lidera Help Me Grow en Inland Empire. Como resultado, "no están recibiendo servicios, y eso significa que ya están atrasados antes de comenzar".

Por qué las tasas de detección son bajas

Debido a que no existe un sistema de informes uniforme entre el mosaico de programas y servicios de atención médica de California, es difícil decir con certeza cuántos niños no están siendo examinados.

Hay muchas razones por las que los niveles de detección son bajos: los médicos están sobrecargados, los padres no saben que deben traer a sus hijos, las familias carecen de transporte o el estado legal de la familia puede hacer que los padres duden en buscar atención. Algunas familias también tienen dificultades económicas y se centran en la supervivencia básica, como proporcionar comida y refugio a sus hijos.

Pero las estadísticas sugieren que el número es terrible. Según el recopilador de datos del gobi-

Las disparidades en las tasas de detección entre niños negros, latinos y blancos también influyen.

Las bajas tasas de detección de California

Para Carolina Navarro y su hijo, Eduardo Loza, la evaluación del desarrollo se retrasó debido a una combinación de cosas. Estaba la barrera del idioma (el idioma principal de Navarro es el español), no ser escuchada por su médico (quien abordó sus preocupaciones sobre lo poco que dormía su hijo, recetándole medicamentos para dormir), así como su casa ubicada en el alto desierto del condado de San Bernardino, que está lejos de recursos.

El comportamiento de Eduardo preocupó a su mamá. Dormía solo cuatro horas al día y hacía cosas repetitivamente como caminar alrededor de una mesa durante horas. Aunque comenzó a hablar antes de cumplir 1 año —detallando hechos sobre el sistema solar y los planetas— no fue una conversación de ida y vuelta. De hecho, Navarro cree que su habla avanzada y su memoria fotográfica hicieron que fuera más difícil lograr que alguien escuchara sus preocupaciones de que algo pudiera estar mal.

Cuando Eduardo cumplió 14 meses, Navarro comenzó a buscar ayuda de forma desesperada. Le tomó más de un año llevarlo a ver a un especialista del sueño debido a la lista de espera, dijo. En última instancia, fue necesaria la participación de su aseguradora privada, el especialista en sueño, una clínica regional y First 5 para obtener el diagnóstico.

A los 3 años, Eduardo fue diagnosticado con autismo, trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad y función tiroidea baja.

Un desafío en la expansión de Help Me Grow es la forma en que se financia, a través de un impuesto al tabaco, que también apoya a First 5.

Menos personas fuman, lo que significa recursos cada vez más escasos.

Sarah Crow, directora general de First 5 Center for Children's Policy, dijo que Help Me Grow se ha vuelto más inteligente a la hora de aprovechar las asociaciones y los socios de financiación que ven el valor del trabajo.

A First Five le gustaría ver Help Me Grow en cada condado, aunque puede que eso no sea factible debido a limitaciones de fondos.

Baum, la doctora con sede en Inland Empire, dijo que le gustaría poner un volante Help Me Grow en todos los postes telefónicos del estado. En cambio, la organización está trabajando para enviar a casa una tarjeta con los padres de cada recién nacido impreso con un número para llamar para programar exámenes de 9, 18, 24 o 30 meses.

Help Me Grow y sus socios también están trabajando para agilizar el proceso de recopilación de datos para que médicos y consultorios puedan realizar un mejor seguimiento de las evaluaciones del desarrollo. Y los defensores de los padres están trabajando en las comunidades de California para correr la voz.

Gabriela Velasco de Orange es una de esas defensoras. A su hijo, Jair, le diagnosticaron autismo a los 25 meses, gracias a una llamada telefónica que sostuvo con Help Me Grow. En ese momento, nadie se tomó en serio las preocupaciones que tenía sobre el comportamiento de su hijo, incluida su madre.

Ahora, 12 años después, Jair sueña con ser ingeniero. Como educadora de salud de Mommy and Me en MOMS Orange County, Velasco se siente bendecida de poder guiar a otros padres a través de lo que pueden ser sus días más oscuros. Incluso su madre, quien una vez descartó el autismo de Jair, está haciendo videos de anuncios de servicio público en español sobre el trastorno.

“Quiero que los padres sepan que no deben rendirse, porque requiere el esfuerzo de todos”, dijo Velasco. "Podemos hacerlo juntos".

“Es todo un equipo”, dijo Navarro. “Marcan una gran diferencia”.

De vuelta en Oakland, el hijo de Alionka Hernández, Diego, ahora tiene 9 años y está en cuarto grado. Le encanta leer, dibujar y filmar sus propias películas. Habla de hacer dibujos animados cuando sea mayor y de enseñar lecciones de natación para niños con discapacidades; el agua siempre lo ha calmado, dijo Hernández.

Un impulso de soluciones

"Tengo mucho que agradecer", agregó.

Después de eso, Navarro pudo reunir ayuda: terapeutas del habla y del comportamiento, maestros y otros padres a quienes pedir consejo.

ISMARCK, N.D. -- North Dakotans are on the front end of a long winter during a pandemic. But a mental health expert says it doesn't have to mean months of unhealthy isolation. He says people can tap into some reminders, as well as new advice, on how to protect their mental well-being.

A Kaiser Family Foundation poll says 53% of U.S. adults feel their mental health has suffered during the crisis. That's up more than 20% from the beginning of the pandemic. Paul Nussbaum is a neuropsychologist at the University of Pittsburgh School of medicine. He said it shows the effect the situation is having on much of the population.

"When we have a sense of loss of control and we're not able to sort of express ourselves in ways and cope in ways that we need to cope, there's almost a learned helplessness that begins to emerge," Nussbaum said.

He said tips offered back in the spring, such as establishing a routine and staying active, are still helpful. But he also said expressing what you're going through to a friend or loved one can be therapeutic.

Nussbaum said added financial stress for many residents is bringing even more anxiety. Be he said those who are struggling need to remind themselves that the crisis isn't their fault, and that showing some vulnerability by talking it out can work wonders.

"It's not rocket science, it's not fancy. But it's still foundational for how we can begin to heal," he said.

He said sharing these feelings can help people recognize they're not the only ones dealing with these problems. He

added it might prompt others to suggest helpful solutions they have discovered during the crisis.

"Cuando tenemos una sensación de pérdida de control y no somos capaces de expresarnos de alguna manera y enfrentarnos de la manera que necesitamos hacer frente, hay casi una indefensión aprendida que comienza a emerger", dijo Nussbaum.

Dijo que los consejos que se ofrecieron en la primavera, como establecer una rutina y mantenerse activo, siguen siendo útiles.

Pero también dijo que expresar lo que estás pasando a un amigo o ser querido puede ser terapéutico.

Nussbaum dijo que el estrés financiero adicional para muchos residentes genera aún más ansiedad. Sea dicho, aquellos que están luchando deben recordarse a sí mismos que la crisis no es culpa suya, y que mostrar cierta vulnerabilidad al hablarlo puede hacer maravillas.

"No es ciencia espacial, no es elegante.

Pero aún es fundamental para cómo podemos comenzar a sanar", dijo.

Dijo que compartir estos sentimientos puede ayudar a las personas a reconocer que no son los únicos que enfrentan estos problemas. Añadió que podría incitar a otros a sugerir soluciones útiles que hayan descubierto durante la crisis.

S

ACRAMENTO, Calif - Teachers' unions want to see significant changes to a proposal they say would force schools in California to reopen in March as long as they're out of the "purple" tier, or most stringent level of COVID-19 restrictions.

Assembly Bill 10 will be taken up as an emergency measure when the California Legislature returns in January. California Federation of Teachers President Jeff Freitas wrote to state legislative leaders this week to oppose what he describes as a blanket

mandate to reopen.

"The one line that we don't want to cross is to remove that authority of local control," said Freitas, in an interview. "Our school boards, our local stakeholders, our parents, our educators should have the right, the control and the data to make the decisions for themselves."

The letter notes that teachers want to return to class, but worry it may not be safe.

It calls on California to establish a statewide tracking system for outbreaks at schools as they reopen.

It also points out that AB 10 contains no benchmarks

for things like testing and contact tracing in schools.

Casey Carlson, a specialeducation teacher who serves as president of the Greater Santa Cruz Federation of Teachers, said she believes AB 10 fails to address many important issues.

"Funding is needed for adequate PPE," said Carlson.

"Funding is needed for safe ventilation in school buildings, and for extra intervention that might be needed for students who have to catch up."

The bill is sponsored by several prominent Democrats in the Legislature.

"La única línea que no queremos cruzar es la de eliminar a la autoridad de control local. Nuestras juntas escolares, nuestros interesados locales, nuestros padres, nuestros educadores deben tener el derecho, el control y los datos para tomar las decisiones para ellos mismos."

S

El Proyecto de Ley 10 (AB 10) se tomara como una medida de emergencia cuando la Legislatura de California regrese en enero.

El presidente de la Federación de Maestros de California (California Federation of Teachers), Jeff Freitas, escribió a los líderes legislativos estatales esta semana

Red Line does not print. It represents the 3” safety area. Please verify critical elements are within the safety area.

La carta indica que los maestros quieren regresar a clase, pero les preocupa que no sea seguro. Pide a California que establezca un sistema de seguimiento de los brotes en todo el estado, a medida que las escuelas reabren. También señala que AB 10 no contiene puntos de referencia para cosas como pruebas y

rastreo de contactos en las escuelas.

Casey Carlson, un maestro de educación especial que se desempeña como presidente de la Federación de Maestros del Gran Santa Cruz (Greater Santa Cruz Federation of Teachers), cree que AB 10 no aborda muchos temas importantes.

"Se necesitan fondos para una P-P-E adecuada. Se necesitan fondos para una ventilación segura en los edificios escolares y para una intervención adicional que podría ser necesaria para los estudiantes que tienen que ponerse al día."

El proyecto de ley está patrocinado por varios demócratas prominentes en la Legislatura.

Play., Junto con los cofundadores Stephen y Ayesha Curry fueron los anfitriones de la octava celebración anual de Navidad con Currys en el estacionamiento de Oakland Arena y RingCentral Coliseum.

La distribución segura y compatible con COVID-19 de alimentos, obsequios y recursos para las fiestas de este año ayudó a 1,000 niños y familias de Oakland que lo necesitan esta temporada de fiestas. Cada una de las familias se quedó en sus respectivos autos durante la totalidad del drive-thru, mientras que los voluntarios ayudaron a colocar de manera segura los obsequios en cada vehículo. Todas las actividades siguieron las pautas locales de los CDC del condado y nacionales, incluido el uso de máscaras todo el tiempo y la separación de seis pies.

Para celebrar con su comunidad, los Curry regresaron al sitio donde Stephen jugó durante más de 10 años y los Warriors ganaron recientemente tres campeonatos de la NBA antes de que el estadio se mudara a San Francisco.

Las familias de Oakland se sorprendieron y deleitaron con obsequios con temas navideños, inspirados en los pilares COMER, APRENDER y JUGAR de la organización, valorados en más de $ 990 por familia. Con la asistencia de 1,000 familias, el sábado por la tarde se regalaron artículos por un valor de casi $ 1 millón con el objetivo de brindar asistencia durante la temporada navideña y más allá.

“Durante los últimos 11 años, hemos tenido la suerte de llamar a Oakland y al Área de la Bahía nuestro hogar”, dijo Ayesha Curry, cofundadora de Eat. Learn. Play.

“Mucho antes de los campeonatos y los libros de cocina, esta comunidad nos recibió con los brazos abiertos como nunca antes lo había experimentado nuestra familia. Esta comunidad está llena de personas extraordinarias con una pasión y un espíritu incomparables. La Navidad de este año con los Curry es nuestra forma de retribuir a la comunidad que tanto le ha dado a nuestra familia. Queremos que todos crean en la magia de la Navidad, porque les prometo a todos que estamos comprometidos a hacer

todo lo posible en esta temporada de fiestas y más allá del Año Nuevo. Hoy se trató de llevar alegría a estas 1,000 familias y asegurarnos de que tengan una temporada festiva esperanzadora”, agregó.

Los regalos navideños de Christmas with the Curry incluyeron kits de comida, cajas de productos agrícolas, bolsas aislantes para comidas en restaurantes, pasteles de camote, tarjetas de regalo de $ 250 de WorkDay, dispositivos y accesorios FitBit, parlantes bluetooth de JP Morgan Chase, libros en inglés y español (edades 3-8) de Kaiser Permanente, mascarillas, desinfectante de manos, cajas de libros familiares de Literati, botellas de agua de Oxigen, juegos, bobbleheads de los Oakland A, tazas de Warriors, gorras de NBA All-Star, pelotas de baloncesto y botines de Rakuten, mantas, libros de Pixar, calcetines y mochilas con cordón de Under Armour, máscaras de OOMLA y mucho, mucho más.

"La Navidad con los Curry es siempre una parte especial de la temporada navideña para Ayesha y para mí", dijo Stephen Curry, cofundador de Eat. Learn. Play. “Debido a la pandemia, el evento lució un poco diferente este año.

Nuestra fundación, junto con todos nuestros increíbles socios comunitarios, donantes y patrocinadores, es más necesaria que nunca para dar un paso al frente y ayudar a las muchas familias de la comunidad de Oakland que han enfrentado inseguridad alimentaria y dificultades este año. Oakland siempre se ha mantenido firme por mi familia, por lo que estamos aquí hoy con el mismo espíritu, celebrando y retribuyendo a todos los que hacen que este lugar sea tan especial ".

A lo largo del día, mientras los autos pasaban por Candy Cane Lanes, se encontraron con sonrisas y vítores de voluntarios vestidos de manera festiva, mientras la nieve caía sobre sus parabrisas, creando verdaderamente un paraíso invernal. A medida que cada vehículo se movía por el centro de distribución, se encontraron con otras sorpresas navideñas como los Golden State Warriors Dancers, el Sr. y la Sra. Claus, regalos y adornos de gran tamaño y más. El drive-thru concluyó con una exhibición de los 3 trofeos de campeonato de los Golden State Warriors.

n Saturday, December 19 from 11AM5PM PT, Eat. Learn. Play., along with Co-Founders Stephen and Ayesha Curry hosted the 8th Annual Christmas with the Currys holiday celebration at the Oakland Arena and RingCentral Coliseum parking lot.

This year’s COVID-19 safe and compliant holiday food, gift, and resource drive-thru distribution helped 1,000 Oakland children and families who are in need this holiday season.

Families each stayed in their respective cars for the entirety of the drive-thru, while volunteers helped safely place the giveaways in each vehicle. All activities followed local county and national CDC guidelines, including wearing masks the whole time and staying six feet apart.

To celebrate with their community, the Currys returned to the site where Stephen played for 10+ years and the Warriors recently won three NBA Championships before the stadium moved to San Francisco.

Oakland families were surprised and delighted with holiday-themed gifts, inspired by the organization’s EAT, LEARN, and PLAY pillars, which were valued at more than $990, per family. With 1,000 families in attendance, nearly $1M worth of items were given away on Saturday afternoon with the goal of providing assistance during the holiday season and beyond.

“For the past 11 years, we have been lucky enough to call Oakland and The Bay Area our home,” said Ayesha Curry, Co-Founder of Eat. Learn. Play.

“Way before the championships and cookbooks, this community welcomed us with open arms unlike anything our family has ever experienced in the past. This community is filled with remarkable people with an unmatched passion and spirit. This year’s Christmas with the Currys is our way of giving back to the community that has given our family so much. We want everyone to believe in the magic of Christmas, because I am promising all of you that we are com-

mitted to do everything we can this holiday season, and beyond into the New Year. Today was about bringing joy to these 1,000 families and ensuring they have a hopeful holiday season,” she added.

The Christmas with the Currys holiday gifts included meal kits, produce boxes, insulated bags for restaurant meals, sweet potato pies, $250 gift cards from WorkDay, FitBit devices and accessories, bluetooth speakers from JP Morgan Chase, English, and Spanish language books (ages 3-8) from Kaiser Permanente, face masks, hand sanitizer, family book boxes from Literati, water bottles from Oxigen, games, Oakland A’s bobbleheads, Warriors mugs, NBA All-Star caps, basketballs and swag from Rakuten, blankets, books from Pixar, socks and drawstring backpacks from Under Armour, masks from OOMLA, and much, much more.

“Christmas with the Currys is always a special part of the holiday season for Ayesha and me,” said Stephen Curry Co-Founder of Eat. Learn. Play. “Because of the pandemic, the event looked a little different this year.

Our foundation, along with all of our amazing community partners, donors, and sponsors, is needed more than ever to step up and help the many families in the Oakland community who have faced food insecurity and hardships this year. Oakland has always held it down for my family so it’s in the same spirit that we’re here today, celebrating and giving back to everyone that makes this place so special.”

Throughout the day, as cars passed through the Candy Cane Lanes, they were met with smiles and cheers from festively dressed volunteers, while snow fell down on their windshields, truly creating a winter wonderland. As each vehicle moved through the distribution center, they were met with other holiday surprises such as the Golden State Warriors Dancers, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, oversized presents and ornaments and more.

The drive-thru concluded with a showcase of the Golden State Warriors’ 3 championship trophies.

EARTHTALK Q&A: ¿EN QUÉ ALIMENTOS ORGÁNICOS VALE LA PENA GASTAR?

EARTHTALK Q&A: ORGANIC FOODS THAT WORTH THE EXTRA PENNIES

Estimado EarthTalk: Mi resolución de Año Nuevo es comer de manera más saludable. ¿En qué frutas y verduras vale la pena gastar dinero extra en variedades orgánicas? Asimismo, ¿vale la pena desde el punto de vista de la salud pagar también una prima por la carne, el queso y los huevos ecológicos?

e hecho, es difícil averiguar en qué alimentos vale la pena gastar más dinero en variedades orgánicas. Claro, puede comprar solo productos orgánicos en todas las categorías, pero terminaría gastando más del 20 por ciento más cada vez que compra. Y ciertos alimentos "convencionales" (es decir, no orgánicos) contienen muchos pesticidas y productos químicos, mientras que otros no. Saber dónde trazar la línea en el pasillo de comestibles es cada vez más difícil dada la profusión de opciones orgánicas en estos días. Pero, afortunadamente, si está armado con algunos datos, puede comer más saludablemente sin arruinarse.

En cuanto a los productos agrícolas, muchas frutas y verduras cultivadas de forma convencional no contienen ni transmiten cantidades significativas de pesticidas u otros productos químicos nocivos. La organización sin fines de lucro Environmental Working Group (EWG) sugiere comprar solo productos orgánicos para su lista llamada "docena sucia" de productos agrícolas comunes que tienden a contener mayores cantidades de productos químicos: fresas, espinacas, nectarinas, manzanas, duraznos, peras cerezas, uvas, apio, tomates, pimientos morrones y patatas. Optar por variedades orgánicas de estas frutas y verduras es una de las formas más asequibles de comer de manera más saludable porque el sobreprecio de los productos orgánicos es en muchos casos insignificante debido a que la demanda de los consumidores aumenta la producción y la oferta. Por otro lado, EWG también produce la lista "Quince verdes" de productos que tienden a estar libres de contaminantes incluso cuando no son orgánicos: aguacate, piña, cebolla, papaya, guisantes dulces congelados, maíz dulce, berenjena, espárragos, coliflor, melón, brócoli, champiñones, repollo, kiwi y melón dulce.

En cuanto a los productos animales, las variedades orgánicas solo pueden llevar el sello "Orgánico" del Departamento de Agricultura

de los EE. UU. (USDA) si se "crían en condiciones de vida que se adaptan a sus comportamientos naturales (como la capacidad de pastar), se alimentan con alimentos 100% orgánicos y forrajes, y no administraron antibióticos ni hormonas”. En cuanto a si la carne orgánica es mejor para su salud, no apueste por ella. Un estudio español de 2015 encontró que el consumo de carne orgánica no disminuye, y de hecho podría aumentar levemente, el riesgo de contraer cáncer. Dicho esto, otra investigación ha demostrado que la carne orgánica contiene grasas insaturadas omega-3 más saludables; esto se debe a que los animales comen pasto, no granos. Otra buena razón para volverse orgánico si come carne es la ética: el ganado criado de manera convencional está sujeto a confinamiento y hacinamiento mientras se le administran antibióticos para prevenir la propagación de infecciones bacterianas en su medio. El mismo cálculo se aplica a los productos lácteos orgánicos frente a los convencionales: la leche y el queso orgánicos pueden contener más Omega-3, pero por lo demás las diferencias en la salud son insignificantes.

Sin duda, hoy es un acto de equilibrio comprar teniendo en cuenta la salud de su familia y su propia conciencia sin arruinarse. El lado positivo de este acertijo es que tenemos muchas opciones más saludables en general en estos días, y es más fácil que en cualquier otro momento en los últimos 75 años evitar los químicos en su comida si esa es la forma en que desea rodar.

t is indeed difficult to figure out which foods are worth spending more money on for organic varieties. Sure, you can just buy only organic in every category, but you’d end up spending upwards of 20 percent more every time you shopped. And certain “conventional” (i.e., non-organic) foods contain lots of pesticides and chemicals while others do not. Knowing where to draw the line in the grocery aisle is increasingly difficult given the profusion of organic choices these days. But luckily if you are armed with a few facts, you can eat healthier without breaking the bank.

As for produce, many conventionally grown fruits and vegetables don’t contain or pass along significant amounts of pesticides or other noxious chemicals. The non-profit Environmental Working Group (EWG) suggests only buying organic for their so-called “dirty dozen” list of common produce items that do tend to harbor larger amounts of chemicals: strawberries, spinach, nectarines, apples, peaches, pears, cherries, grapes, celery, tomatoes, sweet bell peppers and potatoes. Going for organic varieties of these fruits and vegetables is one of the most affordable ways to eat healthier because the price premium on organic produce is in many cases negligible given more consumer demand driving increased production and supply. On the flip side, EWG also produces the “Green Fifteen” list of produce that tends to be contaminantfree even when not organic: avocado, pineapple, onion, papaya, frozen sweet peas, sweet corn, eggplant, asparagus, cauliflower, cantaloupe, broccoli, mushrooms, cabbage, kiwi and honeydew melon.

As for animal products, organic varieties can only bear the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) “Organic” stamp if they are

“raised in living conditions accommodating their natural behaviors (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones.” As to whether organic meat is better for your health, don’t bet on it.

A 2015 Spanish study found that consumption of organic meat does not diminish— and in fact might slightly increase—the risk of getting cancer. That said, other research has shown that organic meat contains more healthy Omega-3 unsaturated fats—this results from the animals eating grass not grain. Another good reason to go organic if you eat meat is ethics: Conventionally raised livestock are subject to confinement and overcrowding while being dosed with antibiotics to prevent the spread of bacterial infection in their midst. The same calculus applies to organic versus conventional dairy products: organic milk and cheese may contain more Omega-3s but otherwise the health differences are negligible.

It certainly is a balancing act today to shop with your family’s health and your own conscience in mind while not breaking the bank. The bright side of this conundrum is that we do have so many healthier choices overall these days, and it’s easier than any time in the last 75 years to avoid chemicals in your food if that’s the way you want to roll.

ste año, es posible que las celebraciones de nuevo año no se vean como lo hacen normalmente. ¡Pero eso no significa que aún no puedas celebrar con familiares y amigos!

De hecho, dado lo difícil que ha sido este año, una fiesta podría ser exactamente lo que se necesita.

La buena noticia es que hay muchas formas divertidas y seguras de recibir el año nuevo en familia desde la comodidad de su hogar.

8) Organice un hangout virtual: Reserve algo de tiempo y salude a familiares y amigos que no ha podido ver. Esta es una excelente manera de mantener a los niños ocupados y pasar un rato cara a cara con los abuelos u otras personas que podrían estar aisladas.

9) Mire una cuenta regresiva temprana: Nada dice la víspera de Año Nuevo como una buena cuenta regresiva. Para ayudar a las familias de todo el mundo a celebrar el 2021, el cereal Pebbles celebrará una cuenta regresiva para la víspera de Año Nuevo el 31 de diciembre, con Fred Flintstone y Barney Rubble de Bedrock antes de las 9 p.m. Hora EST durante "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin 'Eve con Ryan Seacrest 2021", que se transmite en vivo a partir de las 8 p.m. EST en ABC. Sintonice y únase a Fred y Barney para una cuenta regresiva épica hasta 2021, que es el 50 aniversario del cereal.

Aquí hay algunas ideas para hacer de su celebración de Nochevieja un evento divertido para todos: 1) Haz una fiesta de baile: con un poco de planificación y espíritu, cualquier habitación se puede transformar en un espacio de baile. Encienda algunas melodías, haga que la familia se mueva y suba el techo para sonar en 2021. Incluso podría apagar las luces y usar barras luminosas o varitas con luces LED para un ambiente adicional.

Las fotos pueden ser excelentes para compartir en sus canales sociales para desearles a sus amigos un feliz año nuevo.

4) Cree una cápsula del tiempo familiar: Pídale a cada miembro de la familia que escriba sus deseos y sueños para el 2021. Luego, selle las respuestas en una caja o frasco con otros artículos memorables para abrir el próximo Año Nuevo.

3) Mire fotos antiguas o películas caseras: a medida que nos acercamos a un nuevo año, haga un viaje por el camino de la memoria mirando fotos antiguas o viendo películas caseras. Esto 10,37X5,75 HOMECARE EL OBSERVADOR.pdf seguramente hará sonreír a todos y es un gran

divertidos para mantener a todos interesados.

6) Dale glamour a los objetos cotidianos: ¡a los niños les encanta el brillo! Agregue brillo a la plastilina o al slime y déjelos jugar. Use cortadores de galletas numéricos para deletrear 2021.

7) Barra de postres de bricolaje: configure una barra de postres y deje que sus hijos creen una delicia con temática de confeti con algunos cupcakes prefabricados cubiertos con glaseado.

Tenga a mano una variedad de coberturas de colores de confeti, como chispas, glaseado de decoración y coloridos cereales Fruity Pebbles

10) Haz obsequios para fiestas: compra algunos obsequios para fiestas en una tienda local o, mejor aún, hazlos en casa. Hay muchos excelentes tutoriales en línea para divertidos regalos de fiesta que los niños disfrutarán. Intente hacer poppers de confeti, una versión divertida de un elemento básico de celebración. Qué mejor manera de recibir el año nuevo que con algunos poppers divertidos que los niños disfrutarán preparando y comiendo.

An interdisciplinary care team takes care of it all.”

Consejo de Poderes Compartidos del Corredor de la Península AVISO DE AUDIENCIA Y REUNIONES PÚBLICAS Cambios propuestos a los precios de Go Pass y las tarifas de casilleros para bicicletas El Consejo de Poderes Compartidos del Corredor de la Península (PCJPB) llevará a cabo una audiencia pública con el fin de recibir comentarios por parte del público sobre los cambios propuestos a los precios y tarifas de Go Pass que se cobran por los casilleros de bicicletas propiedad de PCJPB. Precios de Go Pass Para abordar los desafíos de regreso al trabajo a los que se enfrentan los participantes de Go Pass como resultado de COVID-19, los cambios en el precio y los términos de Go Pass incluyen: 1) descuentos, incluso para hacer frente a un año de Go Pass más corto en 2021; 2) alterar los requisitos de participación de Go Pass con objeto de cubrir a los empleados de medio tiempo y a los contratistas en el lugar de trabajo; 3) permitir a los participantes donar pases no utilizados a organizaciones sin fines de lucro, y 4) un descuento del 25% para ciertos participantes que continúen en el programa durante 2022.

Casilleros para bicicletas E-Bike Hoy en día, los casilleros se alquilan a usuarios individuales a un costo de $33 por un período de seis meses. El cambio propuesto haría que los casilleros estuvieran disponibles por orden de llegada a $0.05 la hora. Los clientes también tendrían formas adicionales de pagar por el uso de casilleros de bicicletas, con nuevas opciones que incluyen tarjetas Clipper, tarjetas BikeLink prepagadas que se pueden comprar con dinero en efectivo, cheque o tarjeta de crédito, o una aplicación móvil.

Audiencia Pública La Junta Directiva de PCJPB llevará a cabo una audiencia pública virtual con el fin de discutir los cambios de tarifa propuestos.

Si quiere que la presunción comunitaria que registrada en la escritura de la propiedad, debería consultar con un abogado.

oronto / Nueva Delhi / Budapest / Hong Kong / Ginebra - Varios países de todo el mundo suspendieron el lunes 21 de diciembre de 2020 los viajes aéreos al Reino Unido a raíz de una variante mutante de rápida propagación del coronavirus detectada en Gran Bretaña.

India anunció el lunes que suspendería todos los vuelos hacia y desde el Reino Unido hasta finales de este mes.

"Teniendo en cuenta la situación imperante en el Reino Unido. El gobierno de la India ha decidido que todos los vuelos procedentes del Reino Unido a la India se suspendan hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2020 (23.59 horas)", tuiteó el ministerio de aviación civil.

La suspensión entrará en vigor a partir de la medianoche del martes.

Del mismo modo, Hungría también suspendió las llegadas de vuelos desde Gran Bretaña a partir de hoy y hasta nuevo aviso, aunque la restricción no se aplica a los aviones de carga.

Horas antes, las autoridades de Hong Kong habían suspendido todos los vuelos de pasajeros desde el Reino Unido a partir de la medianoche del lunes, mientras que cualquier persona, incluidos los residentes de Hong Kong, que haya pasado más de dos horas en el país europeo durante las últimas dos semanas también fue prohibida. de entrar en el territorio semiautónomo chino.

Aquellos que han regresado recientemente de Gran Bretaña ahora tienen que pasar 7 días adicionales en aislamiento domiciliario después del período de cuarentena obligatoria de 14 días en los hoteles, y los infractores serán multados con 5.000 dólares de Hong Kong (645 dólares).

Suiza también incluyó a Sudáfrica en su anuncio de prohibición de vuelos junto con el Reino Unido, y ordenó a quienes llegaron de estos países desde el 14 de diciembre a someterse a una cuarentena obligatoria de 10 días.

El primer ministro canadiense Justin Trudeau tuiteó sobre la suspensión de todos los vuelos al Reino Unido, inicialmente

durante 72 horas, el domingo por la noche, y agregó que el gobierno de Canadá estaba monitoreando de cerca la variante genética del virus para "comprender mejor" sus impactos a la vez. cuando la evidencia era "limitada".

“Dado el alto número de casos de una variante del virus Covid-19 observado en algunas áreas del Reino Unido, se tomó la decisión de suspender la entrada a Canadá de todos los vuelos comerciales y privados de pasajeros del Reino Unido durante 72 horas, a partir de la medianoche esta noche”, dijo un comunicado oficial del departamento de salud.

Trudeau también advirtió que los pasajeros que vengan del Reino Unido y lleguen a Canadá el domingo estarían "sujetos a medidas de control secundarias y más estrictas".

Canadá se había sumado así a países europeos como Francia, Austria, Italia, Bélgica, Irlanda y Holanda que anunciaron el domingo la prohibición de vuelos desde Reino Unido tras la detección de la nueva variante del Covid-19.

Marruecos y Turquía también se han unido a la lista de países que anuncian restricciones de viaje a Gran Bretaña.

En el Reino Unido, la nueva variante ha provocado el confinamiento de más de 20 millones de personas.

El ministro de Salud británico, Matt Hancock, admitió en declaraciones a los medios que la nueva variante del coronavirus está "fuera de control" y no descartó que las últimas restricciones Tier 4 impuestas a Londres y el sureste de Inglaterra puedan tener que mantenerse para varios meses.

La Agencia de Salud Pública de Canadá en un comunicado dijo que se esperaba una variación genética de virus como el que causa el Covid-19 y que se había observado previamente en partes del mundo.

"Si bien los primeros datos sugieren que la variante del Reino Unido puede ser más transmisible, hasta la fecha no hay evidencia de que las mutaciones tengan algún impacto en la gravedad de los síntomas, la respuesta de anticuerpos o la eficacia de la vacuna".

oronto/New Delhi/Budapest/Hong Kong/Geneva - Several countries across the world on Monday December 21st, 2020 suspended air travel to the United Kingdom in the wake of a rapidly spreading mutant variant of the coronavirus detected in Britain.

variant of the virus to “better understand” its impacts at a time when evidence was “limited.”

India announced on Monday that it was suspending all flights to and from the UK until the end of this month.

“Given the high number of cases of a variant Covid-19 virus observed in some areas in the United Kingdom, the decision has been made to suspend entry into Canada of all commercial and private passenger flights from the United Kingdom for 72 hours, effective midnight tonight,” an official statement from the health department said.

"Considering the prevailing situation in UK. Govt. of India has decided that all flights originating from UK to India to be suspended till 31st December 2020 (23.59 hours)," the ministry of civil aviation tweeted.

Trudeau also warned that passengers coming from the United Kingdom and arriving in Canada on Sunday would be "subject to secondary and stricter control measures."

The suspension is set to take effect from midnight on Tuesday.

Canada had thus joined European countries like France, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands that on Sunday announced the ban on flights from the United Kingdom after the detection of the new variant of Covid-19.

Similarly, Hungary also suspended flight arrivals from Britain starting today and until further notice, although the restriction does not apply to cargo planes.

Earlier in the day, Hong Kong authorities had suspended all passenger flights from the UK starting midnight on Monday, while any person - including Hong Kong residents - who has spent more than two hours in the European country during the past two weeks has also been banned from entering the Chinese semi-autonomous territory.

Those who have recently returned from Britain have to now spend 7 additional days in home-isolation after the 14-day mandatory quarantine period at hotels, with violators set to be fined HK$ 5,000 ($645).

Switzerland has also included South Africa in its flight ban announcement along with the UK, and ordered those who have arrived from these countries since Dec. 14 to undergo a 10-day mandatory quarantine.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had tweeted about the suspension of all flights to UK - initially for 72 hours - on Sunday night, adding that the government of Canada was closely monitoring the genetic

Morocco and Turkey have also joined the list of countries announcing travel restrictions to Britain.

In the UK, the new variant has led to the confinement of more than 20 million people.

The British Health Minister, Matt Hancock, admitted in statements to the media that the new variant of the coronavirus is "out of control" and did not rule out that the latest Tier 4 restrictions imposed on London and southeastern England may have to be maintained for several months.

The Public Health Agency of Canada in a statement said a genetic variation of viruses such as the one that causes Covid-19 was expected and had been previously observed in parts of the world.

“While early data suggest that the United Kingdom variant may be more transmissible, to date there is no evidence that the mutations have any impact on symptom severity, antibody response or vaccine efficacy."

l año 2021 es quizá uno de los años más esperados por todos. La vida retornando a la normalidad, a la vida de antes. No obstante, esto quizá se conseguirá alrededor de los meses del verano. Infortunadamente observaremos más estragos causados por el COVID, durante los primeros tres meses del año. Aunque la vacuna ya está lista, y está siendo transportada por todo el país, no veremos la luz al final del túnel sino hasta finales de la primavera. La vacuna no estará disponible para todos en otros países.

Naciones como India por ejemplo, sufrirán más embates de esta enfermedad. El brote en Suramérica logrará ser contenido en parte, dentro de varios meses. Por supuesto, habrá controversia alrededor de este tema, existen personas, muchas personas que le temen a la vacuna. Además existe una cuantía de teorías de conspiración especialmente en internet.

Lo justo y ecuánime es escuchar la voz de los médicos, es la ciencia quien nos salvará de esta situación.

Debido a la pandemia, la economía mundial se verá afectada, han ocurrido muchas pérdidas, negocios han cerrado de manera definitiva y existirá una gran cantidad de desempleados a nivel global. La economía estadounidense tenderá a mejorar desde inicios de la primavera, pero será una mejoría muy lenta, para millones de desempleados, no será suficiente.

Este 2021 será el año del buey en el horóscopo chino, el año trae buenos augurios respecto a la salud, será un año diferente al 2020, será un año mejor. La energía caótica del año de la rata, llegará a su epílogo a finales del mes de enero. Este año el planeta Venus y el planeta Marte, no estarán retrógrados lo que traerá mucho alivio a las gestiones diplomáticas, a las parejas, a los casados, a las empresas y a los comercios. El planeta Mercurio estará retrógrado durantes tres ocasiones en el año; del 30 de enero al 20 de febrero, del 29 de mayo al 22 de junio, y del 29 de septiembre al 18 de octubre. Mercurio retrógrado suele causar accidentes, temblores de tierra, actos violentos, inclemencias del tiempo, incendios, querellas y todo tipo de malos entendidos. Se aconseja actuar con prudencia y serenidad durante esos periodos.

Será un año de controversias tanto en la política como en la religión. Ocurrirán muchas re-

vueltas sociales en diversos países de América latina, la gente se mostrará harta de los partidos políticos de izquierda y de derecha, se descubrirá que en realidad son empresas que enriquecen a unos pocos y a sus familias.

El pueblo no aguantará más tanto saqueo.

Fuertes movimientos sísmicos han de ocurrir en todo el Anillo de Fuego del Océano Pacífico. Chile, Ecuador, Indonesia, Japón, México, Estados Unidos y Guatemala, pueden verse afectados por esta situación. Una enorme erupción volcánica estremecerá. La temporada ciclónica causará daños nuevamente, especialmente a las naciones que sufrieron huracanes y tormentas durante el 2020. Leyendas del mundo de la música, el cine, el deporte y el arte, partirán a mejor vida. Sucederán muchas muertes repentinas. Cuando el mundo sepa la cantidad real de personas que partieron a causa del COVID, se conmoverá, ya que hasta el día de hoy las verdaderas cifras han sido maquilladas para no alarmar demasiado a la población.

Las tensiones entre Estados Unidos y China seguirán escalando, una nueva guerra fría se vivirá durante el 2021 y los años siguientes.

Será un año en el que muchas personas experimentarán sucesos paranormales. Apariciones de espíritus y de seres humanoides, tendrán lugar en diversas partes del mundo.

Lastimosamente más incendios forestales acontecerán en sitios que ya fueron dañados por los fuegos. Fenómenos climatológicos afectarán a varios continentes, el calor en algunos casos será insoportable, sequías e inundaciones pueden ocurrir con relativa frecuencia. En el tema migratorio, habrá un sentimiento de calma entre muchos inmigrantes; tepesianos y soñadores, lograrán legalizar su situación. El año 2021 representa una luz de esperanza para todo el mundo, hemos aprendido a través de la pandemia, que es lo realmente importante de la vida; el amor, la familia, la buena salud, la amistad, el agua, los alimentos y la paz, son los tesoros más preciados.

Actuemos de corazón, con buena voluntad, con generosidad y con cortesía. Hagamos de nuestro planeta un mundo mejor. Respetemos la ecología y el derecho a la vida de todo ser viviente. ¡Oremos a Dios para que todo mejore! ¡Él nos escuchará! “Que tengan todos un feliz y productivo año nuevo 2021”
