内容摘要：The analysis found Latinos are experiencing a disproportionate number of new infections and diagnoses across the U.S., with diagnosis rates highest in the Southeast. Public health officials in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and Shelby County, Tennessee, where data shows diagnosis rates have gone up among Latinos, told KFF Health News and the AP that they either don’t have specific plans to address HIV in this population or that plans are still in the works. Even in well-resourced places like San Francisco, HIV diagnosis rates grew among Latinos in the last few years while falling among other racial and ethnic groups despite the county’s goals to reduce infections among Latinos.

“I don’t know if it’s a statement,” said Carter Verhaeghe, who had a power-play goal midway through the first period to put Florida ahead and keep Carolina in chase mode for good. “They’re going to come back with their best. We’re just trying to go in and play our game every single time.”To listen to Verhaeghe and coach Paul Maurice, it wasn’t the result of some lights-out performance of relentless perfection. There were hiccups in transitioning from series against Tampa Bay and Toronto, teams with different styles that rely on, as Maurice said, being “so dynamic up the middle of the ice” compared to a different rush style with a Carolina team that relies on a an aggressive forecheck to pressure and control the puck in the offensive zone.

“I think the best growth in our team comes off losses,” Maurice said. “I think that’s where we learn more. I didn’t love our game tonight. But I understood it. Significant style change, so the Game 1 is that first look at what your game looks like in a completely different opponent.”Maybe so, but it was more than good enough.The Panthers were coming off a 6-1 win on Sunday in Game 7 of the second-round series against the Maple Leafs. That set up a rematch of the 2023 East final swept by the Panthers by four one-game margins, including a four-overtime thriller in that Game 1 that ended on Matthew Tkachuk’s winner during the sixth-longest game in NHL history.

The Panthers waited to fly to Carolina on Monday to stick with their usual postgame routine of staying in the road city to rest and recover. Then they went on to take care of this game with far less theatrics need to win that epic ’23 opener, this time against a Hurricanes team that was 5-0 at home in the playoffs and had been off since closing out the conference’s top-seeded Washington Capitals last Thursday.“We know what to do and we know the recipe and our identity,” said fourth-line forward A.J. Greer, who had a critical second-period goal to restore a two-goal margin.

Verhaeghe started by finding space alone near the edge of the crease on a first-period power play, then backhanded a rising puck past Frederik Andersen and into the upper right corner of the net for quick strike against a Hurricanes kill that had been the postseason’s best by allowing just two goals through 30 attempts in two rounds.

Aaron Ekblad followed four minutes later for the tone-setting 2-0 lead. Then Greer answered Sebastian Aho’s off-the-skate score in the final seconds of the first period by finishing a perfect 2-on-1 backhanded feed from Niko Mikkola, before Sam Bennett followed with another power-play score with Brad Marchand screening Andersen in the third.The lawsuit filed April 1

The federal government argued that because the pandemic is over, the states no longer need the money. But McElroy, who granted a temporary restraining order last month in the case, wrote in her decision that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services doesn’t have the power to decide that money isn’t necessary anymore.She went on to say that the agency ignored multiple requirements that govern how block grant programs are terminated, calling the federal government’s argument for how it handled the situation “puzzling.”
