The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is warning residents that the newest Omicron strain of COVID-19 may come with some new symptoms. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts the new variant, a strain called XBB.1.16 and known as “Arcturus,” currently accounts for 8% of COVID-19 cases in California and 10% nationwide. Conjunctivitis, more commonly known as “pink eye,” is the newest possible symptom of this variant of the Coronavirus.

But his lawyers said that ruling needs to be reconsidered after the appeals court ruled the trial judge should have given jurors ...

Metro CEO: Looming budget gap risks half-hour wait times by next summer

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:45:46 GMT

Trains arrive every 10 minutes on Metro — more or less. It’s a big improvement from the half-hour wait times riders experienced a little over a year ago after 60% of the rail fleet was sidelined due to the 7000-series derailment.But Metro still has more work to do, Metro CEO and General Manager Randy Clarke said on WTOP’s DMV Download podcast.“The frequency in the system is pretty good right now, not to where we need it to be,” Clarke said. “We feel that there’s gonna be another increase this summer. And then [by] the fall, we hope to be back to relay that full Metro service.”By summer’s end, Metro rail headways would range between five to eight minutes, according to Clarke. But a looming budget threatens these gains.“We can’t afford to run the service you would get at the end of the summer. We can’t afford to run that the next summer,” Clarke said.The Washington Area Transit Authority (WMATA) budget is short mo...
