By Berkeley Lovelace Jr. and Erika Edwards

 

    At least 75 people have gotten sick after eating McDonald's Quarter Pounders linked to a deadly E. coli strain, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday. The 75 cases, up from 49 on Tuesday, have been reported in 13 states. Twentytwo people, up from 10, have been hospitalized. The CDC said Tuesday that one person had died and reported no new deaths Friday.

    The increase in people getting sick, which consists of older cases, was expected, as it can take several weeks for investigators to link illnesses to a food poisoning outbreak. The most recent case was Oct. 10. “I think there will most certainly be more illnesses reported,” said Matt Wise, chief of the CDC’s Outbreak Response and Prevention Branch.

What is the CDC’s expectation regarding the E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald’s?

When Your Employee Feels Angry, Sad, or Dejected

 

The right — and wrong — ways to respond by Christina Bradley, Lindy Greer and Jeffrey Sanchez-Burks

From the Magazine (July–August 2024)

 

    Dealing with the negative emotions of employees isn’t easy, but knowing what to do or say can make a huge difference to their well-being, the quality of your relationships with them, and team performance. The trouble is, many leaders fail to respond at all because they think discussing emotions at work is unprofessional or worry they don’t have the right to intervene in personal matters. That’s a mistake. Research shows that teams whose leaders acknowledge members’ emotions perform significantly better than teams whose leaders don’t.

Last month marked the world’s hottest July on record, US scientists say

 This year could beat 2023 for the hottest year on record as 15-month ever recorded, elongating a string of monthly temperature highs that now stretch back for 15 consecutive months, US government scientists have announced. Last month was about 1.2C (2.1F) hotter than average across the globe, making it the hottest July on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) said on Thursday. This means that every month for the past 15 months has beaten its previous monthly record. “The streak started in June 2023 and now exceeds the record streak heat streak extends, according to Noaa. The world just had its hottest July set over 2015 and 2016,” said Karin Gleason, monitoring section chief at Noaa’s National Centers for Environmental Information, who added that last month’s record was by a “photo finish” small margin over last July. The record warmth last month saw new July highs for Europe and Africa, while North America had its second hottest ever July. About a fifth of the world’s total land surface had new record temperatures in July, with only the very tip of South America having a cooler than average month Across the oceans, which have been experiencing exceptional surging levels of heat over the past year, last month was the second hottest July recorded, breaking a string of 15 consecutive record hot months. July saw searing heat for much of the globe, with heatwaves sweeping places such as southern Europe and large parts of the US. Last month also saw, unusually, the daily average global temperature record broken twice in two consecutive days. Noaa’s rankings differ slightly from the EU’s Earth-watching service Copernicus, which last week said that July was the second hottest such month on record. On Thursday Noaa said there was now a 77% chance that 2024 will be the hottest year on record, beating the existing record set only last year. The agency added that there was also a two-inthree chance of a La Niña climate event developing from September onwards, a periodic natural shift in conditions that often brings cooler temperatures than its reverse, El Niño, which has helped fuel recent temperature highs. “What is truly staggering is how large the difference is between the temperature of the last 13 months and the previous temperature records,” said Carlo Buontempo, director of the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service following the daily record set on 21 July. “We are now in truly uncharted territory and as the climate keeps warming, we are bound to see new records being broken in future months and years.” Climate scientists have stressed the elevated heat is a clear sign of the influence of a climate crisis being driven by the burning of fossil fuels and a sign that efforts to keep the world to within a 1.5C temperature rise beyond pre-industrial times are insufficient. “With temperatures increasing this much, we need to do absolutely everything we can to reduce the emissions driving climate change more rapidly,” said Drew Shindell, a climate scientist at Duke University. “That means accelerating the phaseout of fossil fuels, reducing methane this decade, and tackling agricultural emissions as well. These things aren’t easy, but the consequences of not doing them are mounting so quickly that we are dooming ourselves to well over 1.5°C, with higher temperatures each year we delay.”
