love them tomorrow let's spark some Joy
I'm Coy wire I'm here to fuel your mind
and get you caught up on the lat news
from around the world without all the
extra stuff CNN 10 starts now we start
today with something we all hope to
avoid each and every winter the flu
right now in the US this flu season has
been the most intense one we've seen in
15 years when it comes to the number of
doctor's office visits for flu like
symptoms which is one indicator of flu
activity last week's data from the CDC
shows that the number topped the peak of
any winter flu season since the one in
200 9 to 2010 which also had a global
outbreak of swine flu or H1N1 the good
news is CDC and Hospital data show viral
infections like covid-19 and RSV appear
to be on the decline nationally but that
means doctors are finding that the vast
majority of illnesses have been the flu
plus some strep throat February is
traditionally the peak of flu season but
so far the CDC says there have already
been at least 24 million cases of the
the flu 310,000
hospitalizations and 13,000 deaths while
43 States overall reported high or very
high flu activity last week the flu was
the most intense in the South Southwest
and western states the flu has spread so
intensely this season that some schools
have been forced to close one large
school system in Texas had
650 out of over 3,000 students out sick
plus 60 staff members that closed
the school for 3 Days doctors say some
good habits to avoid the flu are avoid
touching your eyes your nose and mouth
this can help prevent the germs from
spreading also wash your hands and wash
them often each time you do wash them
spend at least 20 seconds doing so with
soap and water and make sure to avoid
close contact with anyone who is sick in
the Middle East a fragile ceasefire deal
that put an end to Major hostilities
between Israel and Hamas is at risk of
falling apart Israel and Hamas are each
stepping up allegations that the other
party violated the deal leading Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to
order the military there to raise its
level of Readiness our Jeremy Diamond
brings us up to speed on some of what's
happening there and what's at stake well
the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas
certainly seems to be hanging on by a
thread the most precarious moment in its
3-week existence so far for a ceasefire
that was supposed to last at least 6
weeks the Israeli Prime Minister now
issuing this ultimatum saying if Hamas
does not return our hostages by Saturday
noon quote the ceasefire will end saying
that Israeli troops who have already
begun to amass in greater numbers along
the Gaza border will return to the fight
in Gaza until quote Hamas is completely
defeated now the Israeli Prime Minister
didn't go quite as far as president
Trump uh when he made his ultimatum
yesterday saying that all of the
hostages meaning all 76 hostages still
being held in Gaza uh should be returned
by Saturday otherwise the ceasefire
should be canel instead an Israel
official telling me that uh Israel is
demanding that uh all nine remaining
living hostages who were set to be
released during phase one uh that they
be released uh in the coming days
indicating that the Prime Minister uh is
perhaps trying to stay intentionally
vague here leaving himself a little bit
of wiggle room to strike a deal by
Saturday that would keep this ceasefire
alive nonetheless this is a serious
threat to this agreement especially
since Hamas has said that it won't
release any hostages this coming
Saturday uh accusing Israel of a series
of uh ceasefire violations including uh
carrying out attacks against
Palestinians in Gaza uh and indeed today
the Palestinian Ministry of Health
saying that 92 people have been killed
uh by Israeli fire or shelling since the
start of this ceasefire agreement
as officials in the US work to contain
an outbreak of bird flu egg prices keep
getting higher a trip to the grocery
store for eggs these days often means
empty shelves because of short supply or
just pure sticker shock when seeing the
price tag this EG flation so to speak is
now eclipsing previous 2022 prices with
the average wholesale prices reaching $8
for one dozen of large eggs our Nick
watt went to a ranch in Lakeside
California to show us how eggs are being
rationed and how customers are
reacting you can have two Frank hiler is
rationing his eggs the line forms around
700 a.m. how many eggs do you eat um
myself probably three three a day what
yeah that's a lot no that's a normal
amount two dozen the average American
eats about 284 eggs a year well the used
to you're consciously dialing back on
the eggs oh for sure yeah because of the
price
right president Donald Trump claims the
high price of eggs helped him win the
White House they would double and triple
the price over a short period of time
and I won an election based on that he
made wild promises we're going to bring
prices way down and we're get it get it
done fast then he got egged in the first
White House briefing egg prices have sky
rocketed since president Trump took
office Democratic lawmakers urged him in
a letter to crack down on corporate
profiteering the smells rather
noticeable what
smell do you eat a lot of them
no they're too
expensive it's gone from $2 $3 a dozen
to $9 a dozen that's massive it is it's
crazy and predicted by the USDA to climb
even
higher current egg shortage is because
of the burp FL it is fully because of
the
birp the only way to stop the spread is
to Cull millions of infected birds so
slashing egg
supply these astronomical prices are all
due on supply and demand economics 101
there's nothing Biden could have done to
stop the bird flu look there's nothing
president Trump could have done to stop
the burp flu it's neither of their fault
you literally have all your eggs in the
one basket yes I do got to be careful
with that there are so many other bad
egg word plays that we could use but
exactly Pop Quiz Hot Shot which US

judge she served on the bench for 40
years where she ended segregated child
care facilities and race-based
assignments of probation officers you
know what she would say later she said
