United States Post Office Struggles to Deliver to California Residents Due To COVID-19 Related Setbacks

Los Angeles residents Hancock Park and La Brea struggle to get their mail on time. Unbearable, they have filed complaints with the US House of Representatives and the Federal Postal Service, but the only response was to ask for your understanding as there was a labor shortage due to COVID-19.

According to ABC7 news, residents of Hancock Park and Labrea have complained about inconveniences due to the delay in delivery of mail by the Federal Postal Service since May last year. The number of times a local postman delivers mail to an apartment or house has become irregular – from 2 to 4 times a week. In particular, residents said that since June last year it has been impossible to predict, for example, when the mail will arrive around 21:00, and not in the daytime. One of the residents said, “It took my husband over a month to get his death certificate after he went to heaven.”

The biggest reason for the residents’ complaints was “indifference”. Residents have submitted complaints to the Federal Congressman and to the Postal Service however there has been no response. Another resident said, “Neither the Congressman nor the Postal Service is paying attention to this inconvenience.” The local postal service explained that delivery delays were due to labor shortages and the burden of work due to COVID-19. The postal service explained that the arrival time of mail is different because the mail delivery time system works in a situation where there is a shortage of couriers. On the other hand, the Postal Service stressed that, unlike regular mail, “first class mail” is delivered on time.

United States Infrastructure Bill Subject To Another Delay

The handling of the Department of Social Security’s budget, one of the pillars of the infrastructure budget that President Joe Biden has emphasized since the start of his inauguration, was again delayed on the 5th.

Some opposition from the Republican Party, as well as the Democratic Party, which is her hometown, has already been wasted for months, but it is literally “mountain by mountain” and the remaining issues are still unresolved. On the same day House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Democratic Party member), announced that Social Security budget processing had been postponed until Thanksgiving (November 25), and that a vote on another component, the infrastructure budget, would be put to a vote on that day.

It had been planned by the original Democratic leadership to deal with both budgets on this day. A compromise was needed when it appeared that the situation was not favorable, but it is unclear whether the will of the leadership will work. President Biden’s budget was lax. Earlier this year, he asked Congress for a $4 trillion infrastructure budget. The physical infrastructure budget was $ 1.7 trillion, and the Department of Welfare’s budget, called “human infrastructure,” was $2.3 trillion.

Next Worldwide Pandemic Could Originate from American Chicken Farms

It is about the size of a laying hen cage on an American industrial farm, where poultry such as chickens are heavily reared. This space, the size of a sheet of A4 paper (0.06 inches), is seen as a hotbed of future epidemics. The Guardian reported on the 18th (local time) that there are warnings that eight types of avian influenza (AI) with high mortality rates are circulating on industrial farms around the world that can infect humans. It was in February that the risk of contracting an infectious disease on farms was discovered. The first instance of human infection with the H5N8 AI virus was registered in Russia. At that time, AI such as H5N8, diagnosed for the first time in two years, swept the world. Russia, which was one of the affected countries, found itself in an emergency due to the large number of infected.

7 people are known to be infected however human-to-human transmission of the virus has not been confirmed. Only recently did the alarm sound the alarm. This time, WHO announced that the rise in avian influenza infections in China is not serious. This year, China has reported 21 cases of H5N6 infection, indicating a high death rate – 6 people have died so far. The WHO announced that “there was no human-to-human transmission,” however the possibility of transmission of the virus human-to-human cannot be ruled out due to the unprecedented rate of infections. These two cases have one thing in common, most of the infected are from industrial enterprises. This is why experts point to farms as a base for future epidemics. Tees Kukken, a pathologist at Erasmus University in the Netherlands, said: “This type of H5N6 shows a high mortality rate.
