Virus found in California for first time after 220 fish die at Nevada County lake

A virus linked to the deaths of about 220 fish at a Nevada County lake was detected in California for the first time, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife said. “This is a sobering discovery given how widely distributed largemouth bass are in California, how popular they are as a sport fish and their economic importance to our rural communities,” said Jay Rowan, the agency's fisheries branch chief, in a Thursday news release. About 220 fish, mostly largemouth bass but also some bluegill, died at Lake of the Pines in September, and tests confirmed the presence of largemouth bass virus, officials said. The virus does not pose a health risk to humans or other warm-blooded animals, the agency said. Officials had not determined how the virus reached the lake. The virus can be introduced “from contaminated equipment, infected baitfish, stocking infected largemouth bass and introducing other carrier species that are infected.” The virus poses no health risks to people who eat infected fish or swim in or drink infected water, the agency said. The agency urged residents to help prevent the virus from spreading by avoiding the transfer of fish between bodies of water and cleaning, draining and drying

Christine, 66, Was Laid Off After More Than 20 Years. Then Employers Stopped Answering: "Is Ageism Alive and Silent?"

Christine Sesnon is 66 and does not want to retire. She wants a job. “I want to be a part of a team, I want to work,” the Butte County, California, woman told Action News Now reporter Bella Barbosa in an August report from Chico. In the station’s video, she adds that she can work weekends and nights. The trouble started when she was laid off from a job she had held for more than two decades. Now she is back on the job hunt. “I’ve done some looking for work online for remote jobs across the country, I’ve been ghosted on those,” Sesnon said. She was careful not to overstate it. “I’m not saying that I’ve applied to five jobs a week,” she told the station, “but I am saying that the jobs that I’ve applied for on a regular basis, I’m getting rejections from, and this is concerning.” She says she is not the only one. According to Action News Now , Sesnon has watched friends in their 60s, people with years of experience and education, struggle to get hired too. “They’re door dashing,” she said. “They can’t find jobs, it’s absurd. It’s just bizarre.” All of those
