Virus levels in the US have been on the rise for weeks, but it’s hard to know exactly how widely it’s spreading.Federal data suggests that the current increases have stayed far below earlier peaks and notable surges. But judging by word of mouth among family, friends and coworkers, it can seem like everyone knows someone who’s sick with Covid-19 right now.“We have several folks down with Covid, unfortunately,” one health-focused nonprofit told CNN when seeking comment for this story.Rates of severe disease may be staying at relatively low levels, but experts agree that there are probably more infections than the current surveillance systems can capture.“There is more transmission out there than what the surveillance data indicates,” said Janet Hamilton, executive director of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists. “And we should be paying attention to it, because we are starting to see an ...

(CNN) — El miembro del grupo Proud Boy que atravesó una ventana del Capitolio de Estados Unidos con un escudo antidisturbios de la Policía el 6 de enero de 2021, permitiendo que la primera oleada de alborotadores irrumpiera en el edificio mientras los miembros del Congreso eran evacuados, fue sentenciado este viernes a 10 años de prisión.Las imágenes de Dominic Pezzola, apodado “Spazzolini”, usando el escudo antidisturbios de la Policía para irrumpir por primera vez en el edificio del Capitolio se convirtieron rápidamente en un símbolo de la violencia de ese día.“La realidad es que usted fue quien lo hizo”, dijo el juez de distrito Timothy Kelly durante la audiencia de este viernes. “Usted fue quien rompió esa ventana y permitió que la gente comenzara a ingresar al edificio del Capitolio y amenazar las vidas de nuestros legisladores. Es algo que jamás hubiera soñado que vería en nuestro país”.“Usted fue realmente, en cierto modo, la pu...

MADRID (AP) — A Spanish government legal panel is opening a case against suspended soccer chief Luis Rubiales, the state news agency Efe said on Friday.Rubiales has come in for a storm of criticism and calls for his resignation for kissing a player on the lips without consent after Spain won the recent Women’s World Cup final in Sydney.FIFA has already suspended Rubiales for 90 days while it studies the case.Spain is looking to remove him independently of the FIFA process. Rubiales is the president of the Spanish Football Federation and a vice president of UEFA.Efe said the legal panel said Rubiales’ behavior would be studied for two possible cases of serious misconduct.The government hoped the panel would recommend very serious misconduct, a category that would allow the state’s sport body to ban him provisionally with a view to eventually declaring him unfit to hold the job.

Court hands win to defiant Spanish football chief over government

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:46:16 GMT

Spain’s highest court which deals with issues related to sports law on Friday decided football federation President Luis Rubiales’ forced kiss with forward Jenni Hermoso did not constitute a “very grave” violation of Spanish law.By opening an investigation into Rubiales for only a “grave” violation, as opposed to a more serious breach of the country’s Sports Law, the Administrative Tribunal for Sport made it impossible for the autonomous government agency that oversees all sporting activities in Spain to suspend the disgraced federation chief until a final verdict is issued. Secretary of State for Sport Víctor Francos, who presides over the country’s High Council for Sport, told Spanish media that the body would nonetheless request the court suspend Rubiales provisionally.The tribunal’s decision is a serious blow to Spain’s caretaker left-wing coalition government. Over the course of the week Deputy Prime Minister Teresa Ribera, ...
