Number of People Testing Positive for Covid 19 are on the Rise - Spanish - 04/29/2022
Saludos
En las últimas semanas, el número de personas que tienen COVID-19 ha aumentado en Vermont y en todo el país. El número de personas en el hospital también está aumentando.
Quiero recordarles que si usted usa una máscara dentro de las tiendas, su oficina o lugar de trabajo, y las casas de familiares y amigos, es menos probable que se contagie de COVID-19. El Departamento de Salud de Vermont todavía recomienda usar máscaras en autobuses, taxis y aviones.
También recuerde lavarse las manos regularmente y quédese en casa si se siente enfermo.
Ahora está muy claro que si está vacunado, es mucho menos probable que se enferme gravemente y termine en el hospital por COVID-19. Entonces, si no ha recibido las vacunas o los refuerzos contra el COVID-19, por favor considere hacerlo.
Recuerda que la prueba sigue siendo gratuita. Hágase la prueba si ha estado en contacto cercano con alguien que tiene COVID-19. Si comienza a sentirse enfermo, aunque sea un poco, hágase la prueba lo antes posible.

Over the past few weeks, the number of people who have COVID-19 has gone up in Vermont, and around the country. The number of people in the hospital is going up too.
I want to remind you that if you wear a mask inside stores, your office or place of work, and the homes of family and friends it is less likely that you will get COVID-19. The Vermont Department of Health still recommends wearing masks on buses, taxi’s and airplanes.
Also remember to wash your hands regularly and please stay home if you feel sick.
It is now really clear that if you are vaccinated it is much less likely you will get very sick and end up in the hospital from COVID-19. So, if you have not received the COVID-19 vaccines or boosters, please consider doing so.
Remember that testing is still free. Please get tested if you have been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19. If you start to feel even a little bit sick, get tested as soon as possible.

Number of People Testing Positive for Covid 19 are on the Rise - Swahili - 04/29/2022
Salamu
Katika wiki chache zilizopita, idadi ya watu walio na COVID-19 imeongezeka huko Vermont, na kote nchini.Idadi ya watu hospitalini inaendelea kuongezeka pia.
Ninataka kukukumbusha kwamba ikiwa unavaa barakoa ndani ya maduka, ofisi yako, mahali pa kazi, au nyumba za familia na marafiki, kuna uwezekano mdogo kua unaweza kupata virusi vya COVID-19. Idara ya Afya ya Vermont bado inapendekeza kuvaa barakoa kwenye mabasi, teksi na ndege.
Pia, kumbuka kunawa mikono yako mara kwa mara and kubakia nyumbani ikiwa unahisi kuwa mgonjwa.
Sasa ni wazi kuwa, ikiwa umechanjwa kuna uwezekano mdogo sana wa kuugua kwa ukasi na kulazwa hospitalini kutokana na virusi vya COVID-19. Kwa hivyo, ikiwa hujapokea chanjo au nyongeza ya COVID-19, tafadhali zingatia kufanya hivyo.
Kumbuka ya kwamba kupimwa bado ni bure. Tafadhali jaribu kupimwa ikiwa umewasiliana kwa karibu na mtu ambaye ana COVID-19. Ukianza kuhisi kuwa mgonjwa hata kidogo, jaribu kufanya hivyo haraka iwezekanavyo.

Elections in France, Our Oldest Ally: What Does the Victory of Macron Say? - 04/27/2022
From VICII:
This week in our oldest ally, France, a run-off election pitted President Emmanuel Macron against National Front leader Marine LePen. As the War in Ukraine continues and as Europe appears to be engaged in a land war for the first time since WWII, the results of this election will be watched carefully: Macron is a defender of NATO while Le Pen is not a fan.
Other issues divide the two and the election has been analyzed as a contest like our own in 2020; Macron the moderate and a Biden and LePen a conservative and a Trump.
