The head of the World Health Organization said Wednesday that the number of coro navirus deaths world wide last week was the lowest reported in the pandemic since March 2020, marking what could be a turning point in the years-long global outbreak.

“We are not there yet, but the end is in sight,” he said, com paring the effort to that made by a marathon runner nearing the finish line. “Now is the worst time to stop run ning,” he said. “Now is the time to run harder and make sure we cross the line and reap all the rewards of our hard work.”Inits weekly report on the pandemic, the U.N. health agency said deaths fell by 22% in the past week, at just

Still, the WHO warned that relaxed COVID testing and surveillance in many countries means that many cases are going unnoticed. The agency issued a set of policy briefs for governments to strengthen their ef forts against the coro navirus ahead of the expected winter surge of COVID-19, warning that new variants could yet undo the progress made to date.

“If we don’t take this opportunity now, we run the risk of more variants, more deaths, more disruption, and more uncertainty,” Tedros said.

Moore lauded the de cision.“We spend a lot of time at the school deal ing with bullying, espe cially through Snapchat and Facebook,” she said of the social media mes saging sites. “This will help prevent pulling city forces to respond to incidents at the school.”

Of course, Putin isn’t de feated yet.

No matter how it’s accom plished, many of these Boy Scouts properties should be saved, for ecological, recre ational and aesthetic reasons — and, who knows, maybe one day they’ll be needed to serve as campgrounds again. Once they’re gone, it’s pretty much an elevator to the wine cellar.

The Inflation Reduction Act signed into law last month includes billions of dollars for conservation and forestry. Let me suggest a way to spend some of it: Buy Boy Scout camps. Get them while supplies last.

The Agriculture Depart ment reports that the United States loses approximately 6,000 acres of open space — including “forests, grass lands, and other natural ar eas” — every day. Deer Lake nearly fell into that category. It shouldn’t take a non profit’s last-minute rescue to save Boy Scout campgrounds from development when they come onto the market. There is plenty of precedent for government involvement in landWhenpreservation.DeerLake appeared on the verge of being sold to a developer, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) began looking into the use of money from the National Park Ser vice’s Land and Water Con servation Fund to aid with the purchase of Deer Lake and other BSA properties on the market nationwide. That might be a useful strategy, but the Inflation Reduction Act’s funding for conserva tion and efforts to combat cli mate change seems especial ly suitable for this purpose.

The BSA bankruptcy and looming settlement only hastened the pace of camp divestment. In July, New York magazine called it “The Great Boy Scouts Land SellOff.”Evidence in the bankrupt cy case indicated that local councils own as many as 2,000 camps worth $8 billion to $10 billion, an attorney representing 12,000 claim ants told the Associated Press in June. The councils control 35,000 acres in New York State alone, a larger footprint than that of Disney World in Florida, New York magazine

Much is still changing on the ground. But Ukraine’s victories in the northeast have stretched the Russian army thin and forced it back from key command points and supply depots, including the crucial logistics hub of Izyum. More troops will need to be pulled from other re gions to replace exhausted lo cal forces, leaving vulnerable spots that Ukraine is likely to exploit. The scale of the loss es has prompted unusual dis sent even among prominent pro-Kremlin voices. And then there’s the scramble to replace the huge amounts of weapons and equipment the retreating forces have left be hind.

BSA campgrounds were being sold even before the sexual-abuse scandal sent the organization into Chap ter 11.

Such battlefield suc cess should provide sig nificant momentum and a much-needed morale boost for Ukrainian forces. Cru cially, it has also demon strated impressive military leadership, planning and the ability to use Western weap ons and supplies to good ef fect, not only for defensive purposes but for offense — whether that’s US long-range rocket systems taking out ammunition dumps or the use of radar-targeting mis siles to deter Russian air de fenses.

Why the government should buy Boy Scout camps

MORAN — W.C. Neth, who lives at 310 S. Ohio in Iola, hopes that the homes he is building in Moran will help attract new industry. Neth intends to build seven 1,000-square-foot, three-bed room houses that will sell in the $15,000 range. He said they are being built under Farmers Home Adminis tration loans so that per sons who meet FmHA specs will be able to qualify for the low-interest rate loans.

Russian President Vlad imir Putin told a gathering in Vladivostok last week that his country had “not lost anything and will not lose anything.” He may be less certain of decisive victory today.An offensive by Ukraine’s armed forces has made spec tacular progress, retaking more than 6,000 square kilo meters (2,300 square miles) of lost territory, according to President Volodymyr Zel enskyy, and reversing gains that took Russia months to achieve. Whatever happens next, there’s no question that the charge has been a major strategic and operational de feat for the Kremlin. Allied nations must help Ukraine make the most of it.

ing successes in recent days should help disgruntled pub lics see that their sacrifices aren’t in vain.

It’s certainly fair for West ern countries to worry about these expenses and hard ships. Yet helping Ukraine capitalize on its gains is man ifestly in their best interests. Not only could it hasten ne gotiations to end the war, but it sends a powerful message to adversaries worldwide — not least China — about the West’s willingness to present a united front and endure significant costs to protect its way of life.

Club ofﬁcials initially feared that Prescott suffered an intra-articular fracture, one that affects the wrist joint and means the distal radius is fractured. The return from this injury is six to eight weeks, which is why there was concern he would be out through the bye and not return until the team’s game against Green Bay on Nov. 13.

Sounds like a team worthy of being feared.

“I just want to win the Ryder Cup. ... I want the 11 best guys we can get,” said the Englishman, who lost all three of his matches when the U.S. romped to a record rout in Whistling Straits, Wisconsin, last year. “I’m not really too bothered about where they are going to come from.”

This will be the ﬁrst game shown exclusively on Amazon Prime as part of a $13 billion, 11year pact to stream 15 regular-season Thursday night games along with one preseason game. Amazon ﬁrst streamed Thursday night games during the 2017 season with CBS and NBC, then began doing the same with FOX the following year.

“I think the optics of Tyreek leaving — they were a really good football team. They had a lot of good players when he was there, too,” Chargers coach Brandon Staley said. “It’s just when you have a player that’s as special as Tyreek, maybe the other players don’t get the same amount of attention. They’ve really onboarded a lot of players that allow them to truly spread the ﬁeld and spread distribution, run and pass, and make them really tough to defend.”

ALLEN’S ABSENSE

KANSAS CITY, Mo.

“They came in last year and beat us,” Mahomes said. “They’re going to be ready to go. They’ve won here. They’re not going to be scared to come in and play. We have to have a better mindset that we have to play well from theThestart.”Chiefs did that in their opener in Arizona, when they marched for touchdowns on their ﬁrst three offensive series and were never seriously threatened in a 44-21 romp. Mahomes ended up with 360 yards passing and ﬁve TDs, dismissing any notion that the Kansas City offense would languish without wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

The defense also played well, holding Kyler Murray and the Cardinals to seven points into the fourth quarter.

WHAT A KICK

See MCILROY | Page B6

Except when it comes to the Los Angeles Chargers.They’ve showed no fear in splitting their past four meetings with Kansas City, including a win in Arrowhead Stadium last season. And after making a series of offseason moves — like signing Khalil Mack, who had three of their ﬁve sacks in their opener against the Raiders — designed to deal with Patrick Mahomes and rest of the Chiefs’ dynamic offense, the Chargers have every reason to be conﬁdent about facing the Chiefs again on Thursday night.

McIlroy, Europeans address Ryder Cup

Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is expected to miss the game with a strained hamstring, leaving Joshua Palmer to start in his place. Herbert also will be counting on DeAndre Carter and Mike Williams, who has ﬁve career TD catches in Arrowhead Stadium, to help pick up the slack.

The Chiefs could be without kicker Harrison Butker, who sprained his ankle on a kickoff in Arizona, forcing safety Eric Reid to handle most of the kicking duties the rest of the way. They signed former Jets kicker Matt Ammendola to their practice squad and could elevate him for the game, but he would have little practice time with the rest of the kicking unit.

(AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have taken on an almost unbeatable air in the AFC West over the past six years, not only winning the division each time but losing just six games total against some of their longest-standing rivals.

PRIME TIME

ing on both sides of the Atlantic involving the PGA and European tours after LIV golfers were excluded from events, and the divide between the players sticking to the traditional tours and those who have joined the lucrative breakaway series is growing.

Kansas City emerged as one of the NFL’s best offensive lines last season, allowing the third-fewest sacks in the NFL, and promptly held Arizona without a sack. The Chargers likewise did not allow a sack against the Raiders.“I’m not surprised one bit to see how well they played because I’ve been seeing that all camp long,” Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert said of his line. “They go up against two of the best pass rushers the NFL has seen in Joey and Khalil.

To go up against those guys week in and week out, they’re going to get better. I’m thankful to be playing behind them.”
