Suspect arrested in San Francisco Muni train shooting that left 1 dead

Almost as contagious as measles: COVID spins out worrisome new mutations
The relentless evolution of the coronavirus, which has spawned new variants to fuel fresh surges of disease every four to six months, could in the not-distant future propel the virus to overtake measles as the most contagious of all known infections. Increasing infectiousness does not necessarily make the virus deadlier, but it could make it harder to control, and leave communities vulnerable to the repeated waves of illness that have defined the pandemic. The variants now dominating around the world may be five to 10 times more infectious than the original virus that sparked the pandemic in China in late 2019, health experts believe. Lately each variant has outpaced its parent — omicron, with its massive evolutionary jump, was about three times more infectious than delta. Its subvariants — BA.2 and BA.2.12.1, which are driving the latest surge in the Bay Area — are each more infectious still, by 20% to 30%. The basic reproduction value — a number meant to represent how many … [Read more...] about Almost as contagious as measles: COVID spins out worrisome new mutations
Thousands of lightning bolts hit California this week. Here’s why the state was spared from catastrophic fires
A thunderstorm event this week with 67,000 lightning bolts captivated Californians, who anxiously tracked the monsoon and hoped it wouldn’t ignite any catastrophic fires. Data from the National Lightning Detection Network shows the storm largely outdid the number of lightning strikes that touched down in August 2020 and devastated parts of Northern California. Looking at the California #lightning data again as the storms taper off. Between 00 UTC June 22 and 13 UTC this morning, NLDN detected 66,897 total lightning events. 45,129 were in-cloud, 21,768 were cloud-to-ground. This is a bigger event than the August 2020 event. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/oGWvc1u7m7 — Chris Vagasky (@COweatherman) June 23, 2022 Tuesday’s storm traveled from the Mexico border to the northern San Joaquin Valley, and west to the Big Sur coast. It carried with it lightning that ignited the Thunder Fire — which has since burned more than 2,300 acres in Kern County — and dozens of other … [Read more...] about Thousands of lightning bolts hit California this week.

Schwarber, Realmuto Go Deep Vs Musgrove In Phils’ 6-2 Win
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Big swings by Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto of the Philadelphia Phillies put an end to Joe Musgrove’s unbeaten start to 2022. Schwarber hit a two-run homer and Realmuto added a three-run shot later in the sixth inning for the Phillies, who handed Musgrove his first loss and snapped a three-game losing streak with a 6-2 victory against the San Diego Padres on Thursday night.

The big right-hander from suburban El Cajon was activated from the COVID-19 injured list earlier in the day. He had been placed on the list last Friday, a day after throwing seven strong innings in a victory at the Chicago Cubs. “We hit some balls hard,” Schwarber said. “The guy’s a good pitcher.

New SF School Board Reverses Decision to Nix George Washington Mural
A mural featuring founding father and first U.S. President George Washington that includes images of slaves will not be removed after a reconfigured San Francisco school board reversed the earlier board’s decision. Three board members were rejected in February and the board voted 4-3 on Wednesday to nullify the decision over the mural on display at Washington High School. The move comes after almost three years of legal battles and debate over the 1,600-foot mural, which is a 1936 fresco, painted on wet plaster. The Life of Washington is the work of Russian artist Victor Arnautoff, commissioned as part of the Works Progress Administration public art program. The mural features panels depicting scenes from Washington’s life and, according to an art website, the artist was providing social commentary through his work about the evils of slavery. But social justice warriors on the San Francisco school board said it promoted slavery.

U.S. Navy to Wargame Impact of ‘Climate Change’ on Future Conflicts
An open-source wargame to gauge “how climate change could affect a future conflict” has been scheduled for the U.S. Navy in a continuation of President Joe Biden’s executive order on sustainability. The half-day exercise next week will feature staff from Capitol Hill, the Defense Department, the defense industry, think tanks and academia. Navy assistant secretary for energy, installations and environment Meredith Berger previewed the planned table-top exercise during a Defense Writers Group breakfast, as reported by USNI News . The purpose of the June 29 event is “to come together and really think about and experience what it means to operate in a climate-impacted environment,” Berger said. “We’re going to create the right level of stress in a very responsible way to see that it is hard to make these choices and there [are] unanticipated consequences and there’re costs and impacts and all sorts of intervening circumstances that we need to think about from each other’s … [Read more...] about U.S. Navy to Wargame Impact of ‘Climate Change’ on Future Conflicts
Will the coronavirus evolve to cause less severe COVID? Why we can’t assume the answer is yes
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 When scientists find a new disease-causing virus in humans, the first question they want answered is: Can this thing spread easily from person to person? And if not, will it someday? Avian influenza can infect humans, but it’s not very good at passing from one person to another. Same with the coronavirus that causes MERS, another severe respiratory illness. Though hundreds of cases of both have been reported over the past two decades, neither virus seems inclined to evolve toward efficient person-to-person transmission. In less than three years, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has mastered it. SARS-CoV-2 has accumulated a suite of mutations over an astonishingly short period of time that have made it now one of the most infectious human pathogens on the planet. And for the first time ever, scientists have the tools and the knowledge to closely track that evolution in near-real … [Read more...] about Will the coronavirus evolve to cause less severe COVID?

James, Jennifer Crumbley Will Face Involuntary Manslaughter Charges, Judge Rules
(CNN) — The parents of accused Oxford school shooter Ethan Crumbley will still face multiple involuntary manslaughter charges, a judge ruled Wednesday, despite their attempts to quash the counts against them. Judge Cheryl Matthews said a lower court had ruled correctly that Crumbley’s parents can stand trial for the charges. READ MORE: Michigan Officials React After Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade Ruling Jennifer and James Crumbley were each charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter after their teenage son allegedly shot and killed four students and injured seven other people at Oxford High School in November. They have both pleaded not guilty and their attorneys have argued in court documents that the charges have no legal justification and the couple should not be held responsible for the killings their son is accused of committing. But in court filings earlier this month, prosecutors argued to keep the manslaughter charges against the parents, saying their “gross … [Read more...] about James, Jennifer Crumbley Will Face Involuntary Manslaughter Charges, Judge Rules
