Mount Shasta News - d When Proposition 64 passed on November 8, 2016, two of its provisions, among others, became state law immediately.

(Licensing of adult use cannabis businesses began in 2018.) Some people tend to focus only on

- I know nothing about wheelchairs, but after my right leg was amputated during the second week of December, I have taken quite a crash course (pun intended).  Between such God-given delights as the Walter Reid Military Hospital and NASA's Space program, the medical equipment industry has become enabled to perform so many miracles that today just about any prosthetic device over five years old is out-of-date and anything over 10 years is darn-near obsolete. Ironically, the same bandits who for centuries have marred the ever-noble medical equipment profession are looking much harder for a fast buck and their lust to bilk the medical insurance carriers must stop. Medicare fraud is rampant ? the biggest thieves now believed to be white-collar criminals. I believe these are modern-day rogues with perhaps the same bloodlines of pirates dating back to the 17th century. I also believe such louts are enabled to flourish as never before by abusing the weak, the sick, and the helpless who are a

Science Magazine - SCI COMMUN### Public health ![][1] Reported cases of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, 690 kilometers west of Shanghai, doubled in 1 week. PHOTO: SLEEPINGPANDA/SHUTTERSTOCK Health authorities in China suspect a novel virus jumped from animals to humans at a market in the central city of Wuhan, causing at least 59 unusual cases of pneumonia. No deaths have been reported since the first cases were reported on 31 December 2019, but some people remain critically ill; patients are reported to be responding to standard medical treatments. Some of the cases in the city of 11 million have been linked to the wholesale market, which sells seafood and live animals. The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission has since ruled out several possible causes, among them adenovirus, avian flu, influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Close contacts of patients are under surveillance, although the health commission has so far found no evidence of human-to-human
