Las Vegas Mayor Goodman says Southern Nevada's extreme summer heat could be key to curbing coronavirus — insisting her city should be a 'control group' for ending stay-at-home orders, despite widespread criticism this week.
A driver wearing an N95 mask appeared to have passed out behind the wheel and crashed, police in Lincoln Park, New Jersey, said Friday.
"The crash is believed to have resulted from the driver wearing an N95 mask for several hours and subsequently passing out behind the wheel due to insufficient oxygen intake/excessive carbon dioxide intake," the department said in its initial statement.After"overwhelming response" Friday to the incident, the department said it did not know with"100% certainty" the mask was the main contributing factor.
The salute to the nation, called"America Strong," will appear over areas hardest hit by coronavirus, according to a joint statement from the U.S. Navy and Air Force.“We’re excited to fly over cities across America as our way of saying thanks to the healthcare workers, first responders, and all the people who selflessly run into the breach working to keep America strong,” said Gen. Dave Goldfein, chief of staff of the Air Force, and Adm. Michael Gilday, chief of Naval operations.
