*warning, video of crash in link.
An off-duty #SuffolkCounty #cop David Mascarella, was drunk driving after golf and hit a 2-year-old boy.

Instead of dialing 911, he called his union rep. He refused breath tests. The boy was in a coma with multiple skull fractures.

Today, he’s back on the job.

High #bacteria levels prompt #beach closures across several US States

NEW YORK, July 2:

"Several states have closed beaches to swimmers in recent days due to elevated levels of bacteria in the water, posing health risks to #beachgoers.

"In #Massachusetts, the Department of Public Health (#MDPH) reported closures at 37 beaches as of Monday afternoon due to 'bacterial exceedance.' High levels of fecal bacteria were detected, prompting warnings against swimming or entering the water to prevent potential illness.

"Meanwhile, in #Coronado #California, three beaches have been closed since June 26 due to bacteria levels exceeding health standards, according to the San Diego County’s Department of Environmental Health and Quality. These closures are typically linked to sewage or chemical spills.

"In #NewYork’s #SuffolkCounty, an advisory was issued last week against bathing at 63 beaches due to increased bacteria levels caused by heavy #rainfall and #stormwater runoff.

"Officials in Massachusetts identified the bacteria as enterococci, commonly found in the intestinal tracts of warm-blooded animals, including humans. The presence of enterococci suggests possible contamination of water bodies by fecal waste, as noted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

#Enterococci bacteria can cause various infections, including urinary tract infections and potentially severe conditions like blood infections and endocarditis, according to the National Institutes of Health.

"Heavy rains following prolonged droughts can wash animal or human excrement into water bodies, including oceans, while overwhelming sewage systems may lead to untreated sewage contaminating the water.

"Additionally, Massachusetts reported closures of two beaches due to high levels of #cyanobacteria, also known as #BlueGreenAlgae. Although not infectious themselves, cyanobacteria can produce #toxins harmful to humans upon ingestion, causing symptoms such as headaches, stomach pain, and skin irritation."

ARAB TIMES - KUWAIT NEWS · High bacteria levels prompt beach closures across several US StatesBy Josephine

Before our #HavanaSyndrome stalking, I was in BLARG and one of the things we were fighting is this build right here. The dump makes ppl sick. Plain and simple. It made a school ill for 40 years in Brookhaven. But, you see, #EdRomaine 'won' the election for #SuffolkCounty's Executive, and this deal is his baby, his pay dirt. He was #Brookhaven town super before the big time he is in now. Handshakes and construction and garbage. This ain't sopranos. Fuck them. Gangstalkers.
