Coronavirus found in samples from 96% of flights

If you believe it’s now safe to fly without a protective mask, you might want to think again. New research shows the COVID-19 virus has been found on nearly every flight. | WWJ Newsradio 950

Twitter is reminding me this Christmas that for a great many people the holidays are not the Hallmark movie experience that it is billed as. If you are home alone today and stressing over a not so perfect family, I wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you. Merry 🎄.

🥶🥶🥶Wish we had better news, but dangerously cold wind chills are expected by Wednesday night, some as low as -50°F possible over the northeast plains. Frostbite to exposed flesh in 10 minutes or less. #COwx
Graphics show wind chill readings of -30F to -50 F possible over the plains Wednesday night, which will likely continue into Thursday. Wind chill chart shows these types of readings can cause frostbite in 10 minutes or less.

The number of cases of #COVID19 in Johnson County, KS has put us back in the @cdcgov “high” level of community transmission. The positivity rate for the last 7 days is 28.2%. The actual number is likely higher as more people are testing at home and not reporting results. (1/3)
