Los Angeles County reported its first case of human H5N1 bird flu infection Monday, as health officials sought to spread public awareness of the threat. The infected person was an adult who was exposed to infected livestock at a worksite, county health officials said. Officials didn’t specify the person’s gender or other identifying information to respect the patient’s privacy, but said the person is being treated with antivirals and is at home recovering with mild symptoms. “People rarely get bird flu, but those who interact with infected livestock or wildlife have a greater risk of infection,” Muntu Davis, Los Angeles County health officer, said in a statement. This is the 66th case of reported H5N1 bird flu in the U.S. this year and the 36th person in California. Thirty-four of the cases have involved dairy workers, and one — a child in Alameda County — was infected by an unknown source. This case was described only as exposure to livestock; health officials would not say whether it was was dairy cattle. Sharon Balter, director of the county’s Division of Communicable Disease Control and Prevention, declined

This story contains spoilers about the Season 2 finale of Apple TV+’s “Bad Sisters.” When Season 1 of “Bad Sisters” ended in 2022, the story of the Garvey sisters seemed to have reached a tidy conclusion. The evil John Paul was dead, killed not by one of his four sisters-in-law — each of whom had a compelling motive to commit murder — but by his seemingly meek wife, Grace, fed up by years of abusive behavior. With help from her friend Roger (Michael Smiley), she made it look like J.P. had died in an accident, with the rest of the sisters — Eva (Sharon Horgan), Becka (Eve Hewson), Bibi (Sarah Greene) and Ursula (Eva Birthistle) — facilitating the cover-up. But Season 2 has slowly unraveled that neat — perhaps too neat — Hollywood ending. Two years after J.P.’s death, Grace has fallen in love with a seemingly kind new man named Ian (Owen McDonnell), but she starts behaving strangely and then dies in a car crash while fleeing home in a state of distress. The grieving sisters try to uncover the truth about what happened

Francisco Ferratt, 24, entered guilty pleas to three felony counts of burglary during a felony settlement conference Monday at the Larson Justice Center in Indio, case records indicated. Two felony counts of vandalism, one felony count of obtaining personal identifying information for an unlawful purpose and one misdemeanor count of receiving stolen property were dismissed.

A human case of H5 bird flu has been confirmed in Los Angeles County, officials announced on Monday. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, this is the first human case detected in the county.  The adult, who the department did not immediately identify, purportedly contracted the disease from infected livestock at a worksite. “The person had mild symptoms, has been treated with antivirals, and is recovering at home,” said the department in a release. “The overall risk of H5 bird flu to the public remains low.” Public Health noted that currently, there is no evidence of person-to-person spread of bird flu. “People rarely get bird flu, but those who interact​ with infected livestock or wildlife ​have a greater risk of infection,” said Muntu Davis, Los Angeles County Health officer. “People should avoid unprotected contact with sick or dead animals including cows, poultry, and wild birds; avoid consuming raw or undercooked animal products, such as raw milk; and protect pets and backyard poultry from exposure to wild animals.” 2 cats die from suspected bird flu traced to raw milk On Dec. 18

A 43-year-old Orange County man is facing more than 26 years in prison after stealing Legos and leading police in a high-speed chase that ultimately left an innocent 67-year-old woman dead, officials announced Monday.   The tragic Dec. 18 incident began at an Albertson’s grocery store in Fullerton where a plainclothes police officer spotted the suspect, Anaheim resident Anthony Michael Hanzal, stuffing boxes of Legos into a bag and leaving the store without paying.   The officer, according to a news release from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, followed the 43-year-old in his car and requested a marked patrol cruiser make a traffic stop.   “When the uniformed police officer tried to pull the suspected thief over, he made a quick right turn on Brookhurst [Road] and sped off,” the release noted.   Hanzal, who was reportedly under the influence of drugs, rearended a vehicle sitting at stoplight at Brookhurst Road and Orangethorpe Avenue before getting on the westbound 91 Freeway.   He exited at Knott Avenue in Buena Park where he hit speeds of 90 miles per hour as officers trailed him into

A California appeals court is taking a closer look at the criminal prosecution of a former top district attorney’s office advisor, asking state Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta’s office to further justify the case in court before deciding whether to let it move forward. Earlier this year, then-D.A. advisor Diana Teran was charged with 11 felonies after state prosecutors said she violated California hacking statutes. Teran is accused of sending court records to a colleague in 2021 as part of an effort to track cops with disciplinary histories. The state has argued that Teran knew about the records only because she had access to confidential disciplinary files when she worked at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department three years earlier. A trial, which state prosecutors estimated would take three weeks, had been slated to start in January. But on Monday, the Court of Appeal delayed that proceeding for at least three months — and left open the possibility of dismissing the case entirely. The court issued a two-page order to show cause, setting an April hearing for prosecutors to argue why the higher court should let

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday that the state had secured millions in additional funds to address the ongoing Tijuana River sewage crisis that has polluted the coast in San Diego County. The governor said President Biden had signed a federal funding bill allocating $250 million to repair and expand an exiting wastewater treatment plant in San Diego, one of two facilities that lack capacity to treat billions of gallons of sewage and industrial wastewater that flows from the Tijuana River. The outflow of untreated sewage into California’s coastal waters has created environmental, health and economic problems for residents living on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Newsom said the funds will aid in repairing and expanding the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant, a project that is already underway but will take five years to complete. Earlier this year, Mexico also broke ground on construction of a new $33-million wastewater plant to replace the ailing San Antonio de los Buenos facility in Baja, which officials say has been releasing millions of gallons of untreated sewage daily into the Pacific Ocean, causing beach closures in the

Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America are being sued by the embattled Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over alleged unchecked fraud on the Zelle payment app — setting up a legal showdown that the incoming Trump administration could quash as soon as next month. The three financial institutions, which co-own the app along with four other large banks, were accused in a lawsuit filed Friday of rushing to launch the service in 2017 without putting in place proper consumer safeguards in order to compete with popular payment apps such as Venmo. The result, according to the lawsuit, were fraud-related losses of more than $870 million over the last seven years. “Zelle became a gold mine for fraudsters, while often leaving victims to fend for themselves,” said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra. The 91-page federal lawsuit claimed that hundreds of thousands of consumers at the three banks made complaints about being defrauded but were “were largely denied relief, and some were even told to try getting their money back by contacting the person who had defrauded them.” The CFPB said the three banks accounted for
