Clark County resident being tested for novel coronavirus

Carson City, NV – Today, the Southern Nevada Health District reported the first person under investigation (PUI) in Nevada for the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCOV).


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will be testing samples from the Southern Nevada resident who has been identified as a PUI. Currently, Nevada has no confirmed cases of novel coronavirus.


As announced by the Southern Nevada Health District, the patient is in isolation and being monitored in a local hospital. The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services continues to work closely with partners in the local health authorities, providing support if needed and sharing information on this quickly changing public health concern.


The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services has issued guidance to health care providers, medical facilities and laboratories regarding the clinical characteristics of 2019-nCoV, assessing patients with compatible symptoms and recent travel to Wuhan, China, clinical specimen collection and testing, and effective health care infection prevention and control.


“While this novel coronavirus may be causing concern, it’s important to remember that there are only five confirmed cases in the United States and all of those cases had travelled to Wuhan, China,” said the Department of Health and Human Services Chief Medical Officer Ihsan Azzam, Ph.D, MD. “Currently, this virus is not spreading in the United States. Early detection of cases; prompt application of case isolation and timely quarantining contacts, in addition to practicing proper hygiene, will help us control this outbreak. We continue to monitor the situation and work with our state and federal partners.


“Seasonal influenza, or flu, continues to circulate throughout Nevada. It’s not too late to get a flu shot,” he said.


The flu vaccine is still available for residents, and Nevadans are encouraged to contact their health care provider for more information. The CDC recommends routine, annual flu vaccinations and specifically notes the importance of a vaccine for high risk populations.

About Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV):


Patients with confirmed 2019-nCoV infection have reportedly had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath, headache, runny nose and/or sore throat. However, limited information is available to characterize the spectrum of clinical illness associated with this illness.


Currently, the CDC is the only entity that can test for 2019-nCOV.


Based on what has been seen previously during respiratory disease outbreaks caused by coronavirus, it is believed that symptoms of 2019-nCoV may appear anytime between two and 14 days after exposure. At this time, it is unclear how easily or sustainably 2019-nCov is spreading between people, but the current risk to the U.S. and Nevada public remains low. There is currently no vaccine for 2019-nCoV, but like any respiratory viral illness it is recommended to practice good health hygiene habits.

 

To prevent the spread of flu and viruses:

 

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with those who are sick.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

414th Combat Training Squadron "RED FLAG" at Nellis (27-Jan - 14-Feb)

What's that booming noise? Fear not, it's the mighty arm of the US Military and her allies.

Training will occur between January 27, 2020 and February 14, 2020.

 

RED FLAG is a contested combat training exercise involving the air forces of the United States and its allies. It is coordinated at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, and conducted on the vast bombing and gunnery ranges of the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). It is one of a series of advanced training programs administered by the United States Air Force Warfare Center and Nellis Air Force Base.

 

Sr. Airmen Nancy Bartel and Diana Medina, both back-shop armament technicians, post flight an F-16 on day two of Red Flag 12-2 Jan. 24 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Coalition partners from South Korea and Saudi Arabia participated in the joint training exercise that's been around since 1975. (USAF photo by Master Sgt. Ben Bloker)

 

Aircraft and personnel deploy to Nellis for RED FLAG under the Air Expeditionary Force concept and make up the exercise's "Blue" forces. By working together, these Blue forces are able to utilize their diverse capabilities to execute specific missions, such as air interdiction, combat search and rescue, close air support, dynamic targeting and defensive counter air. These forces use various tactics to attack NTTR targets such as mock airfields, vehicle convoys, tanks, parked aircraft, bunkered defensive positions and missile sites. These targets are defended by a variety of simulated "Red" force ground and air threats to give participant aircrews the most realistic combat training possible.

 

And breaking the sound barrier produces a very real sonic boom. For additional information about Red Flag exercises, >read here<.

Health: Is My Kid Contagious?

Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster

On January 28, 1986, the NASA Space Shuttle orbiter undertaking mission STS-51-L and the tenth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-099) broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members: five NASA astronauts, one payload specialist, and a civilian school teacher.

The failure was caused by the failure of O-ring seals used in the joint that were not designed to handle the unusually cold conditions that existed at this launch. The seals' failure caused a breach in the SRB joint, allowing pressurized burning gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach the outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB aft field joint attachment hardware and external fuel tank. This led to the separation of the right-hand SRB's aft field joint attachment and the structural failure of the external tank. Aerodynamic forces broke up the orbiter.

 

Approximately 17 percent of the American population witnessed the launch on live television broadcast because of the presence of high school teacher Christa McAuliffe, who would have been the first teacher in space. The Challenger disaster has been since been used as a case study in many discussions of engineering safety and workplace ethics.

STATE ROUTE 160 BLASTING MIDDAY CLOSURE JANUARY 27 (11:45 a.m. until 1:45 p.m)

PAHRUMP - The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) will temporarily close State Route 160 in both directions, just west of Williams Ranch Road, from 11:45 a.m. until 1:45 p.m., January 27, in Clark County.

 

This is the main highway between Pahrump and Las Vegas Valley.

 

The closure is needed for blasting to remove fractured bedrock as part of a $59 million upgrade project that entails widening a 6-mile stretch of State Route 160 in southwest Clark County. Aggregate Industries SWR Inc. is the general contractor. Construction calls for expanding the asphalt highway from two to four travel lanes between Mile Markers 16 and 22, creating a safe passing lane for slower moving traffic while altering the roadway geometry for fewer twists and turns. Work additionally entails rehabilitating 22 miles of deteriorating roadway from roughly the Nye County line to the Mountain Springs community. The project, which broke ground in the summer of 2018, is scheduled to finish this fall.

 

Motorists, meanwhile, should be prepared for an up to two-hour delay, although it will likely take less time. Although no other blasts are currently planned, rock excavation conditions possibly could require additional blasting in the future.

 

Below is an 86 second video from July 2019 when county officials attended a blasting as guests of the Nevada Department of Transportation.

Audit of Nye County Finances Delayed

A problem in getting needed documentation has delayed an audit of Nye County's finances. The Las Vegas accounting firm conducting the audit has received an extension from the department of taxation, as it continues to examine Nye County's cash and investments for fiscal year 2018 to 2019.

FEMA workshop: Flood Rate Insurance Maps (FIRMs)

The Nye County Planning Department would like to announce a local workshop hosted by Nye County, Nevada Division of Water Resources, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region IX, to provide information on the pending revised Flood Rate Insurance Maps (FIRMs), covering the southern area of Nye County.

 

The FEMA workshop will be held on January 29 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

 

Letters have been sent out to property owners in the area.

 

The changes will also be discussed at the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission on Wednesday, January 15th. The meeting starts at 6 p.m.

 

Why this is important: If a property is mapped into a high-risk area and the owner has a mortgage through a federally regulated or insured lender, flood insurance will be required when the FIRM panels become effective. Property owners who obtain flood insurance before the FIRM panels become effective and then maintain it may be able to benefit from the NFIP’s “grandfathering” insurance rating process and pay a lower premium.

Historic Reintroduction of Bighorn Sheep to Lake Range

The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) and the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (Tribe) will release bighorn sheep to the Lake Range on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation Monday, January 13, weather permitting, in a historic project between NDOW and the Tribe to reintroduce the species to the mountains surrounding Pyramid Lake where they once thrived.


Bighorn sheep are native to the Lake Range, two-thirds of which is on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation. Explorer John C. Freemont wrote in his journal on Jan. 11, 1843 during his travels through the Lake Range that he and his party “saw herds of mountain sheep”. While the native fish of Pyramid Lake were historically the primary food source for Paiute people (Numu) other large game species were harvested including bighorn sheep (Koepa).

“It is an extremely important reintroduction both from a wildlife standpoint, as well as a cultural standpoint for many Native American Tribes across the west,” said Larry Johnson, a long-time bighorn sheep conservationist. “This has been a large priority of mine for decades. Luckily, the stars finally aligned and there has been a memorandum of understanding developed between the Tribe and the Nevada Department of Wildlife to not only allow this to occur, but hopefully for future wildlife projects.”

 

For years, Johnson has been heavily involved with NDOW in bighorn sheep restoration efforts. In June of 2018, PLPT Tribal Council approved to have their staff collaborate with NDOW in the development of a bighorn sheep restoration plan. Through close collaboration between the NDOW, the Tribe and Johnson, planning and coordination for the bighorn restoration efforts were conducted for more than a year.

“This is a win-win quite frankly, for everybody involved. This is the result of a lot of efforts put in by the Pyramid Lake Natural Resources Department, the Nevada Department of Wildlife, and of course funding from multiple sources,” Johnson said.

 

Funding came from multiple sources, including a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant, Nevada Bighorns Unlimited and the Nevada Wildlife Record Book Foundation.

 

NDOW has captured and translocated over 4,000 bighorn sheep within Nevada and throughout western U.S. and Canada, helping to restore Nevada’s and other state’s bighorn sheep herds. Nevada’s population was as low as 2,000-3,000 animals in the early 1960s, but now sits at more than 12,000.

 

A helicopter crew will capture bighorn sheep from a herd in the Sheep Creek Range in Lander County. After NDOW and PLPT biologists, wildlife veterinarians, and volunteers evaluate vital signs and health, collect samples, and attach tracking devices, the sheep will be transported to the Lake Range. The release is expected to take place in the late afternoon.

 

If you are interested in attending release please contact PLPT Natural Resource Biologist, Emily Hagler at 509-929-1105, and view the regulations for tribal lands listed below.

NHP SEEKING WITNESSES TO FATAL CRASH

NHP SEEKING WITNESSES TO FATAL CRASH AT BLUE DIAMOND ROAD AND EL CAPITAN WAY

 

On Sunday, December 15, 2019, at approximately 5:08 AM, Nevada Highway Patrol responded to a crash located at the intersection Blue Diamond Road and El Capitan Way.

 

Preliminary investigation has determined that a white 2017 Honda CR-V was traveling westbound on Blue Diamond Road in the left turn lane at the intersection with El Capitan Way. At the same time, a white 2015 Honda Civic was traveling eastbound on Blue Diamond Road approaching El Capitan Way. The CR-V entered the intersection directly in front of the Civic, causing the Civic to strike the CR-V. The Honda Civic was then redirected into a traffic sign and a wooden billboard located southeast of the intersection. The driver of the Honda Civic was transported to University Medical Center, where he later succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash and was pronounced deceased on December 26, 2019.

The male operator of the Honda Civic has been identified as 72 year old Robert Glenn Largen from Henderson, Nevada.

 

The Nevada Highway Patrol is seeking additional witnesses to this crash. If you were a witness to this crash, please contact the Nevada Highway Patrol Multi-Disciplinary Investigation and Reconstruction Team (M.I.R.T.) at RKMiller@dps.state.nv.us
