SUMMARY: The content advises people to always let someone know their whereabouts at night and seeks to raise awareness about the rising number of respiratory illnesses as people return from visiting family over the holidays. Health professionals at Alphacare Urgent Care in Gulfport say that patients are showing symptoms like congestion, coughing, sore throat, and nausea. The CDC reports an increase in positive cases of influenza A and B, COVID, and RSV nationwide, with New Mexico and Southeastern states being the hardest hit. The CDC recommends practicing social distancing, washing hands, and covering coughs, as well as isolating for a minimum of five days after symptom onset if diagnosed with COVID. Medications like Tamiflu and Xofluza may be helpful in lessening the severity and length of illness. In the final week of 2023, close to 30,000 people nationwide were affected by these illnesses.

SUMMARY: The 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War’s end highlights the resilience of Vietnamese refugees on the Gulf Coast. Fleeing war-torn Vietnam, families like Emato and Jennifer Lee’s found new beginnings in Mississippi’s fishing industry, turning hardships into community strength. Through initiatives like the Gulf Coast Vietnamese Narratives Facebook page and a museum exhibit in Biloxi, Emma and Jennifer share their families’ stories, preserving heritage and inspiring others. Vietnamese refugees, once struggling with language and culture, built thriving businesses, supported local workers, and fostered a strong, enduring community. Their journey reflects sacrifice, hope, and the creation of a lasting coastal legacy.

The lessons learned by Vietnamese refugees and their families can now serve as inspiration for others.
