When neighbors became family: Getting through COVID with a little help from my friendsBY KATE WALTER | I was so exhausted that I could barely get up from the couch. Since I’d managed to avoid COVID for three years, I’d started to feel like I was immune. This included neighbors and friends at Westbeth. Within 24 hours, my phone was jumping with texts from friends in the building asking me if I needed anything. My friends in the building became my family, ringing my bell dropping off supplies at my door.

Hundreds evacuated as flood disaster unfolds in northeastern Australia
CAIRNS, Australia, Dec 18, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Stranded residents sheltered on a hospital roof as flash floods swamped northeastern Australia on Monday, with raging waters severing roads and flushing crocodiles into towns. With more rain expected Monday, Queensland Treasurer Cameron Dick said the unfolding disaster would have a "billion-dollar impact" on the state. Nine people, including a seven-year-old patient, huddled for safety on the roof of a hospital in the largely Aboriginal settlement of Wujal Wujal. "We know that those people are in a desperate way now," said Kiley Hanslow, the chief executive of the Wujal Wujal Aboriginal Shire Council. "This level of rainfall is next level," Queensland Premier Steven Miles told reporters on Monday.

12 killed in attack on party in Mexico: officials
SALVATIERRA, Mexico, Dec 18, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - At least 12 people were killed and another dozen were wounded in an attack early Sunday on a pre-Christmas party in central Mexico, authorities in the state of Guanajuato said. The violence occurred in the town of Salvatierra, reportedly at a hacienda, or ranch, that can be rented out for festivities. "So far 12 people are reported dead," the state's prosecutor's office said on X, the former Twitter. It's a horror what is happening in Salvatierra," Tierra Negra member Carlos Silva wrote on social media. Guanajuato is one of the most violent states in Mexico, due in large part to the presence and activity of criminal gangs -- including a pair of feuding drug cartels.
