Health officials in the U.S. are warning travelers about the potentially deadly insect-borne virus known as sloth fever, which has been reported in cases involving travelers returning from Cuba and Brazil. The virus, also known as Oropouche virus, is transmitted by midges and mosquito bites and is endemic in central and eastern South America. In other news, a new indictment against former President Donald Trump has been issued in reaction to a Supreme Court ruling regarding presidential immunity. The indictment is related to federal election interference charges and includes differences based on the Supreme Court’s decision in July.
Additionally, three Republicans on the Georgia State Election Board are making new election rules that could potentially sow misinformation and chaos leading up to the 2024 presidential election. This comes as some critics worry about the potential for election results to be altered as a result of these rule changes.
The cost of living the American Dream has also been a topic of discussion, with estimates suggesting that it now costs more than $150,000 a year for a family of four to achieve prosperity in the U.S. This figure varies widely depending on location. Overall, these developments highlight ongoing concerns related to public health, politics, and economic well-being in the United States.
