3 Zodiac Signs Who Will Have A Rough Week Starting July 26, 2021

July 25, 2021 Admin Leave a comment

Three zodiac signs will have a rough week starting July 26, 2021.

For Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces, the week may bring challenges, and there’s only one thing to do and that is wait for the negativity to pass.

There’s a theme that goes along with this particular week in astrology, and that would be the one where a few of the signs trust nothing.

This lack of trust is going to hurt, because it’s in the mind, and sometimes when we get something stuck in our head, we don’t release it until it’s done as much mental damage as possible.

There’s a lot of good in this week, but ironically, some of the better aspects are destined to be re-interpreted by three particular signs of the zodiac.

While Gemini might see danger, even though everything is working out, an other sign might drop into depression simply because they are locked in their personal prison of distrust.

It’s the last week of July. We’re in Leo. We’ve got Jupiter in Aquarius starting up again.

We’re still feeling the fire of Mars in our decision-making, and honestly, we just want to feel safe and secure. I mean, who doesn’t?

Which signs are in for a rough week?

Zodiac signs who will have a rough week starting July 26, 2021:

Gemini (May 21 – June 20):

While there are many influential cosmic transits, presently assisting you with your life and work, there is one aspect that you won’t be able to shake this week.

You will be unnerved by this sense of threat; you know it’s not ‘real’ and yet, you won’t be able to stop seeing adversity in everything you do.

Your doubt will be at an all-time high, and you may even start fights with friends, simply because this week is making you feel paranoid and filled with distrust. Being that you have Jupiter working on expanding your horizons, what you’ll also notice is that your defensiveness has expanded as well.

You’re not the ideal friend this week, simply because you can’t help but snap at everyone around you. There’s a part of you that wants everyone and everything to just ‘go away’ and if you keep up the rotten attitude, they probably will. Suck it up, buttercup.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22):

This week should be interesting for you in so much as your confidence will grow, and yet – no one will notice.

You feel as though you’re doing all the right things; work is being handled well, your social life is ‘meh’ but still good enough for you, and you are now, finally, somewhat comfortable in your own body.

That certainly doesn’t sound like a ‘rough’ week to me, but here’s where the rough part comes in… once again, as mentioned before, no one is going to notice. As in no one. So, all your efforts will fall on dear ears, as well as all of your attempts to make people notice you.

You’ll feel as though you are living in a vacuum, alone, going stir crazy. This is probably due to the hostile Mars energy that’s been following you through July. Things are on the mend, however, just try not to take this week too personally.

Pisces (February 19 – March 10):

It’s a mixed bag of weirdness for you, in terms of love and relationship, this week. What’s about to happen is this: you will feel secure and happy with your relationship.

Everything is going well, and you both trust each other and can foresee a long, fruitful partnership together…until major doubt settles in, and with it, it’s buddy, paranoia.

Not cool, bro. You’re going to do the Pisces thing, meaning, you’re going to overthink things. There you are, sitting pretty in a good relationship with basically very little to worry about, and yet – boom, there you go – searching for trouble.

And you know what they say. If you seek trouble, you will find it. And find it you will if you don’t keep a lid on all of that ruminating.

You’re going to have to learn to trust situations that are actually working well for you. There’s an expression that explains your week, very neatly: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Biden told of ‘rough year’ during cherry farm tour in Antrim County

July 3, 2021 Admin Leave a comment

Traverse City — President Joe Biden learned Saturday that many Michigan cherry farmers are having a tough season because of volatile weather after he visited a cherry farm in Antrim County.

Juliette King McAvoy, daughter of King Orchards co-owner John King, told Biden, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Democratic U.S. Sens. Debbie Stabenow of Lansing and Gary Peters of Bloomfield Township about the drought and recent heavy rains that have damaged the cherry crop.

At one point, Biden asked about the differences between two types of cherry trees in the orchard.

King McAvoy told him that the trees would normally be “laden with fruit,” but some of the branches came down.

“It’s been a rough year,” she said, adding that farmers really don’t know how to handle the volatile weather.

Michigan’s tart cherry crop for this season is estimated to be 65.6 million pounds, a 5% drop from the 69.3 million pounds harvested in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But both years marked a two-thirds drop from the 201 million pounds harvested in 2018 and a lesser but substantial decline from the 170 pounds in 2019.

Michigan is the dominant state in the country for producing tart cherries.

The state’s warm April led to a devastating early bloom when a days-long polar trough in May froze buds and kept bees from pollinating. Tart cherries took the biggest hit. They were already down about two-thirds, the worst of recent consecutively bad years, said Nikki Rothwell, coordinator of the Northwest Michigan Horticultural Research Center, 10 miles north of Traverse City on Leelanau Peninsula.

This was followed by four days of rain, ending last Sunday, that split cherries, mainly sweet ones. Farmers and industry watchers used words such as “demoralizing,” “devastation,” even “anger.”

Biden was then introduced to some of the farm’s cherry pickers.

After the tour, the president greeted a crowd gathered behind ropes as U-pick visitors and the curious gathered there. A heavy law enforcement presence and military flyovers gave clues about Biden’s trip to the farm despite the lack of a public notice about the location of the president’s destination.

After 3:25 p.m., Biden entered the orchard market and declared, “I’m going to look at the pies.” Employees gave him a tour of the market, where he was shown canned jam and canned cherries.

“You all want a cherry soda?”Biden asked his advance team, according to the pool report, and ended up buying six after an advance team member suggested getting three.

The helicopter and motorcade trip to the cherry farm came after Biden landed at Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City around 12:35 p.m.

At the airport, Biden spoke with Whitmer as well as the senators and at one point the governor and president held hands, according to the pool report. After the gathering broke up, Biden had an extended discussion with Traverse City Mayor Jim Carruthers.

The trip is the Democratic president’s third visit to Michigan in the less than six months he has been in office. Republican predecessor Donald Trump didn’t make his third trip to Michigan until March 2019, more than two years into his presidency.

Biden’s latest visit is part of a nationwide tour related to recovery from the coronavirus and encouragement of unvaccinated Americans to get shots of the vaccine.

Grand Traverse County, where Traverse City is located, has among Michigan’s highest vaccination rates with 68.1% of adults 16 years and older having received at least one dose of COVID vaccine — close to Biden’s goal of 70% by July 4. That compares with the statewide average of 56.5% through Friday.

Vice President Kamala Harris was to make a similar trip to Detroit on Monday to encourage vaccinations, but that visit was postponed after major flooding in the city over the weekend.

Biden’s trip comes after the White House acknowledged last week that it would be likely to miss its goal of partially vaccinating at least 70% of U.S. adults by the Fourth of July. Instead, the country will probably hit 70% of vaccinations for Americans age 27 and older by Sunday.

Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have met Biden’s goal of 70% partially vaccinated, but Michigan is not among that group.

The White House also mentioned the bipartisan Senate talks about an infrastructure spending package prior to the trip, but the topic wasn’t raised during the cherry farm tour.

Before a gathering of reporters after the tour, Whitmer was asked if she spoke to Biden about infrastructure projects specifically for Michigan that the package might finance.

“I’m the ‘fix the damn roads’ governor, so I talk infrastructure with everybody, including the president,” she said. “We haven’t had a conversation about specific projects, but certainly with the incredible flooding that we suffered a week and a half ago, infrastructure is on everyone’s mind.

“What we saw (in Detroit) was a lack of investment in infrastructure combined with climate change — and all of our freeways were flooded within hours.”

Whitmer added with a smile that it was also the reason “why this infrastructure package is so important. That’s also why I got the president rocky road fudge from Mackinac Island for his trip here.”

Biden was last in Michigan on May 18, when he visited a Ford Motor Co. truck plant in Dearborn and took a spin in the electric F-150 Lightning. Before that, he visited the Pfizer plant in Portage that manufactures the two-dose COVID-19 vaccine.

First lady Jill Biden traveled to Michigan in June, speaking at a pop-up vaccine clinic at Grand Rapids Community College’s DeVos campus.

Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona also came to Michigan last month, stopping at community colleges in Dearborn and Warren to encourage young people to get the COVID-19 vaccine and highlight the Biden administration’s effort to provide two years of free college.

This time around, Biden won’t be making a stop in southeast Michigan due to the massive cleanup that’s underway from flooding, which has kept the Interstate 94 freeway closed in Detroit and Dearborn, said U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Dearborn.

“It wouldn’t make sense to take valuable resources away from the flooding recovery in many communities,” Dingell told The Detroit News on Friday after spending her morning touring flood-damaged homes. “He’s fully aware of what’s going on in Michigan because I raised it with him at the White House on Wednesday.”

Biden’s senior staff is monitoring the situation, and the president “wants to do whatever he can to be supportive,” she said.

Man hospitalized after Miami rough arrest escapes while in police custody

MIAMI – Police are searching for a man who escaped from a Miami hospital while in custody.

That man, identified as Leskeil Richards, was injured during an arrest on Sunday in Miami.

He was back in the hospital on Monday after he suffered a seizure, his relatives said.

According to police, Richards found the right moment to run away from an officer who was guarding him late Monday afternoon at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

The officer gave chase but Richards got away in a westward direction.

Police set up a perimeter in the area around the hospital. They located Shakeil’s shirt and a cast that he had been wearing on his arm.

Local 10 learned that as of approximately 8 p.m. Richards had not reached out to his family, who said they are concerned and afraid for him.

Loved ones of 25-year-old Richards spoke with Local 10 News Monday night.

“How did this happen,” Ieshia Richards, Leskeil’s sister said. “I’m shook.”

WATCH CHRISTIAN DE LA ROSA’S 11PM STORY:

She is upset and worried after her brother was taken into custody following his rough arrest and then managed to escape from police custody at Jackson, where he was being treated and detained.

“I don’t understand how this occurred,” Ieshia said. “He’s supposed to be in a secure unit. I’m just lost. I just hope he’s in his right state of mind. Now I’m worried.”

Police consider Richards to be dangerous.

He was last seen wearing blue pants and may be shirtless.

US Coronavirus: Hospitalizations are the lowest they’ve been in nearly 2 months. But US is still in for ‘rough’ coming weeks, expert says

January 31, 2021 Admin Leave a comment

More than 97,000 patients remain hospitalized with the virus — a far cry from the country’s peak of more than 132,400 on January 6. The last time this number fell below 100,000 was December 1.

“Right now it’s the worst of possible worlds. It’s the winter. It’s getting cold out, people are together more, there’s still a critical number of people in the United States who don’t wear masks, who don’t social distance,” Dr. Paul Offit, a member of the FDA’s vaccine advisory committee, told CNN Saturday. “I think the next six weeks or two months are going to be rough. I think we could have another 100,000, 150,000 deaths.”

According to projections from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, nearly 120,000 more Americans could lose their lives to the virus over the next two months.

A rapid variant spread could push that projection even higher. That’s why experts have urged doubling down on safety measures like masks and social distancing and called for accelerated vaccinations across the country.

On Saturday, Maryland became the second state to report a case of a Covid-19 variant first identified in South Africa. And officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say cases of another variant — first identified in the UK — have been detected in at least 30 states. Experts have said both strains appear to be more transmissible.

29.5 million doses administered

But there’s good reason for hope.

Two vaccines have already gotten the green light for the US market and more could be on their way.

More than 29.5 million vaccine doses have so far been administered nationwide, according to CDC data. About 5.2 million Americans have received both doses of a vaccine.

Hindered by weeks-long allocation and distribution problems, the numbers are lower than where experts once hoped the US would be by now. But health and state officials hope vaccinations will ramp up in the coming months.

In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office said Saturday morning the state had administered 91% of the first vaccine doses it received from the federal government and urged for more supply.

“New York’s vast distribution network is capable of handling more than 100,000 vaccinations per day, but to actually do it, we need more doses from the federal government,” Cuomo said in a statement.

The governor previously announced the state will receive 16% more doses for the next three weeks. In his Saturday statement, Cuomo said that while the bump is a “welcome increase, the reality is that we simply need more supply.”

In Washington state, health officials announced more than 10,000 people had been vaccinated at the state’s mass vaccination sites with the help of the state’s National Guard and other partners.

“The goal of mass vaccination sites is to increase access to vaccine across the state, ensure our plans are equitable, and protect those most at risk,” a statement from Washington state’s health department said.

Transit authorities implement CDC guidance

Meanwhile, an order issued by the CDC requiring people to wear masks while using any form of public transportation in the US will go into effect Monday night.

The agency said public transportation operators must use best efforts to enforce the mandate, including only boarding those wearing masks and disembarking passengers who refuse to comply.

Transit authorities across several major US cities and states — including New York, New Jersey, Washington, DC, San Francisco, Chicago and Atlanta — told CNN they are already in compliance.

In Washington, DC, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority told CNN “face coverings have been required on Metro since May.”

“We welcome any policy that further promotes compliance on Metro and in all public spaces to combat the spread of the virus, and welcome the ability of TSA and other federal authorities to enforce this mandate when appropriate,” a spokesperson said.

In California, a Bay Area Rapid Transit spokesperson said the Bay Area’s public transportation system has had a face covering mandate in place since April.

And in Atlanta, a spokesperson said the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority began requiring masks in July.

Trying to understand more about the virus

And now more than a year since the world first learned about the virus, a team of World Health Organization investigators examining the origins of the pandemic will head to a seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, China, on Sunday — the market that’s believed to be where the first Covid-19 infections were detected.

The team of experts were released from a two-week quarantine on Thursday, one member told CNN.

The investigation comes about a year after the Chinese city went into lockdown because of the pandemic, and there is skepticism about just how much the team of scientists will be able to uncover.

An earlier report by a WHO team in China, published in February 2020, found that “key knowledge gaps remain” about the virus, though it endorsed previous findings that the virus appeared to have originated in animals, with the likely first outbreak at the seafood market in Wuhan.

CNN’s Alta Spells, Sandi Sidhu, Lauren Mascarenhas, Laura Ly, Amanda Watts and Hollie Silverman contributed to this report.
