More than 350,000 people contracted a fever that "explosively spread nationwide" from late April and 187,800 are currently being isolated and treated, Pyongyang's state media said Friday. The report said six people have died and one tested positive for the BA.2 Omicron variant. It didn't say whether the other people who died were tested.
Louisiana House Stops Abortion Bill That Allowed Murder Charges Against Women
Louisiana's Republican-led House of Representatives stopped a measure Thursday that could have allowed women who obtain abortions to be charged with murder.
The proposal, which was passed out of a state House committee last week, sought to recognize a fertilized embryo as a person and made it possible for both doctors and pregnant women to be charged under the state's homicide statute if they performed or received an abortion.
