No Increase in Social Security Benefits For 2010
The Nevada State Health Division’s Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance has revoked the license of a Reno group care home because of concerns over the health and safety of the residents.

H1N1 Swine Flu
The number of cases of the H1N1 (swine) flu continue to spread in Washoe County, and health officials are warning residents to take precautions to guard against infection. The Washoe County District Health Department strongly urges anyone who shows signs of the flu (fever of 100.0 degrees F. or more plus a cough and/or sore throat) to stay home for seven days. If the symptoms last longer, residents need to stay home for an additional 24 hours after the symptoms end.
Reports suggests that the majority of cases being seen, mostly in school children, are the tip of the iceberg, and that for every confirmed case there are 20 other unconfirmed cases in the community.
It’s uncertain at this time how severe this novel H1N1 outbreak will be in terms of illness and death compared with other influenza viruses. Health officials say because H1N1 is a new virus, most people will not have immunity to it, and illness may be more severe and widespread as a result. Currently there is no vaccine to protect against the H1N1 virus.
