Mid-South doctors tracking unusual surge in walking pneumonia cases
SUMMARY: Cases of walking pneumonia, a milder form of pneumonia, are increasing, particularly among children, according to Fox 13 Health reporter Mandy Rock. Teacher Courtney Jackson shared her experience, where a cold escalated into pneumonia requiring hospitalization. The CDC reports a rise in infections caused by mycoplasma pneumonia, often spread through respiratory droplets in crowded settings. Symptoms include sneezing, sore throat, and wheezing. Dr. Nick Heisi advises parents to seek medical attention for any pneumonia symptoms and to keep sick children at home to prevent outbreaks. Increased testing and the resurgence of respiratory viruses post-COVID contribute to this trend.

Sports Wagering Council fines unlicensed betting company | Tennessee
SUMMARY: The Tennessee Sports Wagering Council fined a sportsbook $50,000 for illegal operations and advised users of Bovada to withdraw their funds immediately. After sending cease and desist letters to Bovada’s Curaรงao address without a response, the council emphasized that accessibility does not equal legal operation in Tennessee. Investigators recently placed bets via Bovada to highlight risks to bettors, including potential financial loss and inadequate protection of personal information. Other states, including Massachusetts, Kansas, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania, have also issued cease and desist orders to Bovada, which has faced similar issues in multiple states.
