NEW YORK (AP) — The polio virus has been found in New York City’s wastewater in another sign that the disease, which hadn’t been seen in the US in a decade, is quietly spreading among unvaccinated people, health officials said Friday.
The presence of the poliovirus in the city’s wastewater suggests likely local circulation of the virus, the city and New York state health departments said.
State Health Commissioner Dr Mary T. Bassett said the detection of poliovirus in wastewater samples in New York City is alarming but not surprising.
“The risk to New Yorkers is real but the defense is so simple — get vaccinated against polio,” New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said in a statement. “With polio circulating in our communities there is simply nothing more essential than vaccinating our children to protect them from this virus, and if you’re an unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated adult, please choose now to get the vaccine. Polio is entirely preventable and its reappearance should be a call to action for all of us.”
The announcement comes shortly after British health authorities reported finding evidence the virus has spread in London but found no cases in people. Children ages 1-9 in London were made eligible for booster doses of a polio vaccine Wednesday.
In New York, one person suffered paralysis weeks ago because of a polio infection in Rockland County, north of the city. Wastewater samples collected in June in both Rockland and adjacent Orange County were found to contain the virus.
Most people infected with polio have no symptoms but can still give the virus to others for days or weeks. Vaccination offers strong protection and authorities urged people who haven’t gotten the shots to seek one immediately.
Based on past outbreaks, it is possible that hundreds of people in the state have gotten polio and don’t know it, officials said.
Polio was once one of the nation’s most feared diseases, with annual outbreaks causing thousands of cases of paralysis. The disease mostly affects children.
Vaccines became available starting in 1955, and a national vaccination campaign cut the annual number of US cases to less than 100 in the 1960s and fewer than 10 in the 1970s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A small percentage of people who polio suffer paralysis. The disease is fatal for between 5-10% of those paralyzed.
All schoolchildren in New York are required to have a polio vaccine, but Rockland and Orange counties are both known as centers of vaccine resistance.

Every year, International Youth Day is celebrated on August 12 to mark the contribution of today’s youth to the development of society. The significance of this day is also to raise voices against the injustice faced by the youth worldwide as the young people aren’t only tomorrow’s leaders, but they are also making huge changes in society right now. This year, we celebrate under the theme “Intergenerational solidarity: creating a world for all ages.”
Fostering intergenerational solidarity between generations is more than ever necessary to ensure an inclusive and sustainable recovery. As we navigate the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is especially important to recognize and address these age-related barriers to “build back better” in a manner that leverages all generations’ strengths and knowledge.
As a Fresh, New and Dynamic Organization, the DNA is committed to creating an enabling environment for all youth to grow, thrive and to let their voices be heard. We are committed to working with youth groups to develop and deliver proactive policies and programs to address these issues and create an equitable, sustainable and continuous path that will develop, empower and restore hope to the youth of our nation. The Objectives of our Youth Empowerment Policy is to connect key areas of our Vision 2040 development strategy with an aim to create equitable, sustainable and viable communities where youth can excel, thrive and participate in the overall transformation of our country and our People.
DNA President Joanne Massiah noted “Given the multiplicity of challenges presently facing the world, as governments seek solutions and craft policy prescriptions, it is imperative that the voices and recommendations of our youth are heard and included at the decision-making tables since it is to them we will pass the baton of leadership.”
The participation of youth in politics, governance, community and national life and social development is a critical component of the DNA’s Vision 2040 for Antigua and Barbuda.
For far too long policies geared towards youth are designed with minimum consultation and contribution from youth themselves. This failed top down approach has limited and stifled the potential of our youth and has led to a cycle of mediocrity in the development of youth in Antigua and Barbuda. The DNA intends to integrate education, sports, culture, the arts, entrepreneurship and industry, coupled with youth participation and the strengthening of our social environments to create a linear path for our youths to achieve success and be globally competitive as we seek to collectively transform our nation.

La isla griega de Scíathos no solo es popular por la belleza de sus playas. Su pequeño aeropuerto, el Alexandros Papadiamantis, cada año reúne a cientos de entusiastas de la aviación, quienes tienen la oportunidad de apreciar las aeronaves a poca distancia segundos antes de que aterricen.
Uno de estos espectaculares aterrizajes fue protagonizado recientemente por un enorme Airbus A321neo, de 44,5 metros de largo y una envergadura de 35,8, que sobrevoló a escasos metros de las cabezas de los visitantes antes de tocar la pista.
En un video publicado en el canal de YouTube Great Flyer, se observa un avión de la aerolínea Wizz Air realizar un aterrizaje con un ángulo de aproximación extremadamente bajo. Descendió tan cerca de los turistas, que algunos tuvieron que aferrarse a una barrera de tráfico para no ser derribados por el chorro de aire de las turbinas.

Con tan solo 1.628 metros de largo, la pista del aeropuerto de Scíathos es considerada como la más corta de Europa. Para reducir el rodaje de despegue, los aviones deben operar con poco peso, por lo que la mayoría solo carga suficiente combustible como para alcanzar la ciudad de Tesalónica, a 157 kilómetros, donde realizan una parada para repostar.

El jefe de la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, por sus siglas en inglés), José Baquero, confirmó en RADIO ISLA que han aprobado 38 sometidos por la Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica (AEE) y LUMA Energy para la reparación del sistema eléctrico.
José Baquero expuso que, al momento, la AEE y LUMA han sometido más de 80 proyectos, pero la mayoría aún no han sido avalados por la agencia. De estos, 28 son para mejoras a los sistemas de transmisión y distribución manejados por LUMA, y 10 son del sistema de generación asignado a la AEE.
“Nosotros tenemos aprobados, queriendo decir que ya son proyectos específicos que tienen fondos asignados, unos 38 proyectos. El subrecipiente de los fondos de Fema sigue siendo la Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica”, explicó Baquero. Esto, debido a que FEMA solo entrega fondos a entidades gubernamentales.

Ashley Ann Cariño Barreto, quien fue coronada anoche como la nueva Miss Universe Puerto Rico, indicó en RADIO ISLA que favorece la participación de mujeres embarazadas, casadas y trans en el certamen.
Cariño Barreto, la representante del municipio de Fajardo, también está a favor de aumentar la edad de participación en el concurso, “porque la belleza no termina cuando uno tiene 28 años”.
“Para mi los certámenes de belleza son una celebración de todas las cualidades que nosotras las mujeres tenemos y esas cualidades siguen cuando nosotros empezamos nuevas etapas de nuestras vidas. Cuando nos casamos, cuando tenemos hijos y creo que tener esas nuevas etapas, no significa que dejas de ser bella o dejas de poder servir a tu comunidad”, expresó Cariño Barreto.
La joven de 28 años se encuentra culminando estudios en Ingeniería Aeroespacial en la Universidad Central de la Florida, pero afirmó en este medio que está dispuesta a poner su carrera en pausa, si sale electa como la nueva Miss Universo a nivel internacional.
