Families in West Virginia, Alabama, Texas and the Navajo Nation Reservation in the Southwest drink from polluted streams, prevent children from playing outside because of exposed sewage, run out of water or drive for hours to get more, the report from nonprofits DigDeep and US Water Alliance said. Race and poverty are the strongest predictors of water and sanitation access, according to the study. Native American families are 19 times more likely than white households to lack indoor plumbing, while black and Latino homes are nearly twice as likely....

The data, compiled from 1,293 respondents between September 30 and October 1, paint a spooky picture. The survey asked respondents, “Generally speaking, do you believe that each of the following do or do not exist?” Respondents then had four options: demons, ghosts, vampires and other supernatural beings (like aliens). Of the true believers, 22 percent said demons “definitely exist,” while 24 percent said they “probably exist.” Similarly, 20 percent said ghosts “definitely exist,” and 25 percent said they “probably exist....

“The Department of Justice appears to be putting Donald Trump’s friends above the law,” reads the petition which was published on MoveOn.org, reaching more than 51,800 signatures by early Wednesday morning. “The Justice Department’s internal watchdog must investigate the corrupt about-face made at the seeming behest of Donald Trump and call out cronyism within its own ranks,” it states. “But given how compromised disgraced Attorney General William Barr is, we cannot trust the Justice Department to correct its course....

Centuries later, morphine is available in a wide variety of forms including long and short-acting forms and is used to treat pain caused by a variety of diseases, illnesses, and injuries.

The viral Reddit post, titled, “Your boss should never get to see a death certificate for you to take bereavement leave,” has been upvoted 14,600 times since it was shared to the platform’s “Antiwork” forum on March 3. The original poster (OP), u/marion_mcstuff, revealed they are a funeral director in Ontario, Canada, and the situation has begun coming up more frequently, “p**sing” them off. The Redditor revealed: “After meeting with a family to arrange a funeral, the family asks me if they can have an extra death certificate for their son/daughter/grandchild because their boss is asking for one to give them time off to attend the funeral....

There have been 21 reported cases of infection in six states, a marked increase from the national annual average of seven. Many of the infections and deaths took place in July, but the virus claimed another life in August, that of 64-year-old Kalamazoo County, Michigan resident, Gregg McChesney. Nine days after contracting the virus while working to install docks at a pond, McChesney had a seizure and passed away....

Does that mean that the West Nile virus is slated to become a major killer? Probably not. It is moving quickly now, in part because every new area represents virgin territory, where neither people nor animals have developed immunity. (Mosquitoes pick up the virus by feeding on the blood of infected birds, such as crows.) But ultimately, Petersen speculates, the virus will likely settle into a pattern resembling that of its close relative, St....

The poll also found that the level of concern regarding the novel coronavirus’s impact on the American economy has increased as the virus has spread....

The 28-year old defensive back doesn’t have the speed or skill of famous shutdown corners such as Deion Sanders. But the media-friendly Norman has brilliantly exploited his memorable street fight with Odell Beckham Jr. of the Giants in Week 15 of last season to become one of the single biggest media personalities in the NFL. MORE: Playoffs already a pipe dream for 0-3 teams Quarterbacks and diva wide receivers have nothing on the former Panthers cornerback when it comes to ego....

This “tale of two hospitals” is a function of clumsy, if well-intentioned, federal and state directives to halt all non-emergency procedures, which appeared at first blush to be a reasonable precaution to limit unnecessary exposure and safeguard staff, beds and equipment. But instead of merely preserving hospital beds and other resources, this heavy-handed injunction has created a burden of its own design: a historic number of empty beds in systems left untouched by the pandemic....

The pig was discovered in a wooded area in Nottinghamshire, U.K., by a dog walker who found her huddled with 10 piglets. The dog walker contacted the Brinsley Animal Rescue charity, which is now trying to persuade the livestock facility to let the pig go permanently. The pig and her babies have since been removed from the woodland by the farm, owned by Wold Farms Breeding Ltd, the BBC reported....

Regretfully, I followed the standard medical recommendation and aborted babies with hydrocephalus, spina bifida, and genetic abnormalities during my residency in the late 1980s. But now I am convinced that elective abortions are never merciful or medically necessary. Mothers and their unborn children deserve a better treatment option. For many, perinatal hospice with palliative care is that better treatment option. It provides tender, compassionate, and holistic care to mom and baby after she receives the news that her child’s life will likely be short....

Recent reports from Spain suggested Messi is hesitant to renew his contract at Camp Nou - with his current deal due to expire in 2018 - fuelling speculation he could leave Barca. Manchester City are believed to be keeping a close eye on the 29-year-old’s situation, while United could also join the race for his signature, but Mourinho thinks it is unlikely Messi will ever play in the Premier League....

‘Pogba used to cry when he lost’ As reported by Goal, midfielder Schneiderlin is set for a medical with Everton, while West Brom are also interested in signing him. Winger Memphis, meanwhile, has also been linked with a move to the Toffees, along with loan switches to Nice and Roma. However, manager Mourinho will not allow the duo to leave until United receive offers he believes are fair and confirmed he is not keen on loan deals for either....

United cruised to an impressive 4-0 Europa League win over Feyenoord on Thursday, with under-fire captain Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard all on target to take them to the brink of the knockout phase. But Mourinho’s men are sixth in England’s top flight, nine points behind leaders Chelsea, having suffered a frustrating run of home draws against Stoke City, Burnley and Arsenal. “Against Stoke the goalkeeper won the man of the match, against Burnley the goalkeeper won the man of the match, against Arsenal Petr [Cech] was not the man of the match, but was not far from that,” he said....

United delivers for misfiring Mourinho The Special One left a special note in the pre-match program at Old Trafford to make amends with Red Devils fans after going down heavily to Chelsea. And after Juan Mata secured derby success, the manager was at it again on the pitch. As the final whistle blew, Mourinho gestured ‘4-0’ to the home faithful. He followed that up with a bow of the head and by clasping his hands in prayers, a further act of contrition....

Man Utd continue winning run to see off the Ghost of Christmas Past The Armenia international came off the bench to score a stunning third goal in Monday’s 3-1 win over Sunderland in his first appearance since picking up an injury in the 1-0 win over Tottenham on December 11. Mkhitaryan brought the home fans to their feet as he produced an acrobatic back-heel to turn in Ibrahimovic’s cross and secure United’s win, although he was fortunate not to have been flagged offside....
