l lunes (20 de diciembre), Hendrick Toyota, en asociación con Reyes Media Group, entregó una donación de juguetes a Kids TLC.

Habrá un juguete para todos”. Kids TLC es una organización que tiene como objetivo “transformar las vidas de los niños y las familias que experimentan problemas de salud mental y conductual, traumas del desarrollo y autismo”, según su sitio web.

Chiefs close to playoff berth

n AFC playoff berth is within reach of A the Kansas City Chiefs. With their 34-28 Dec. 16 overtime road vic-

tory over the Los Angeles Chargers, the Chiefs are 10-4, with a two-game lead in the AFC West and three games left in the NFL regular season. As BleacherReport.com reported Monday (Dec. 20), a win over Pittsburgh and a Chargers loss to Houston Sunday (Dec. 26) would give Kansas City the AFC West title. It would be the Chiefs’ sixth straight division title and 14th division title overall, including two titles before the AFL-NFL merger – one of them when the franchise was the Dallas Texans. The Chiefs, however, are eyeing more than a division title. Kansas City also holds a one-game lead over New England and Tennessee for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. By securing the top seed, the Chiefs would get the first-round bye and homefield advantage. If New England and Tennessee

n lugar en los playoffs de la AFC está al alcance de los Kansas City Chiefs. Con su victoria como visitante 34-28 el 16 de diciembre en tiempo extra sobre los Chargers de Los Ángeles, los Chiefs tienen marca de 10-4, con una ventaja de dos juegos en la AFC Oeste y tres juegos por jugar en la temporada regular de la NFL. Como reportó BleacherReport.com el lunes (20 de diciembre), una victoria sobre Pittsburgh y una derrota de los Chargers ante Houston el domingo (26 de diciembre) le darían a Kansas City el título de la AFC Oeste. Sería el sexto título divisional consecutivo de los Chiefs y el decimocuarto título divisional en general, incluidos dos títulos antes de la fusión AFL-NFL, uno de ellos cuando la franquicia eran los Dallas Texans. Los Chiefs, sin embargo, buscan más que un título de división. Kansas City también tiene una ventaja de un juego sobre Nueva Inglaterra y Tennessee por el sembrado No. 1 en los playoffs de la AFC. Al asegurar el primer sembrado, los Chiefs obtendrían el descanso de la primera ronda y la ventaja de local. Si Nueva Inglaterra y Tennessee pierden cada uno al menos uno de sus juegos restantes, los Chiefs obtendrían el primer puesto

Navidad Lejos De Casa Continued from Page 1A

“Solo somos nosotros y mis dos perros los que se mudaron aquí conmigo”, dijo. Para Serna, quien creció en California y es mexicanaestadounidense de tercera generación, la navidad generalmente significa una gran reunión familiar. “Nos reuníamos en familia y cocinábamos juntos y compartíamos historias y pasábamos tiempo juntos”, recordó. “Mis padres están divorciados, así que siempre pasaba el 24 y el 25 con los dos, cada uno en su propia casa. Era mucha comida y risas y un momento en el que simplemente disfrutaríamos de la presencia de mis seres queridos”. Una de las tradiciones familiares de Serna era hacer tamales. “Uno esparcía la masa, el otro llenaba (los tamales) y escuchábamos música y cantamos en el proceso”, dijo. “Entonces siempre comenzaba en la casa de mi padre, luego iba a la de mi mamá y de regreso a la de mi papá, donde intercambiábamos regalos en el rancho de la familia de su esposa, donde terminábamos la noche con música y bailando alrededor de la fogata”. Será un tipo de celebración diferente para Serna y su esposo. “Prepararé la cena para nosotros y abriré los obsequios que nos enviaron mi mamá y mi papá”, dijo. “Esos son los únicos regalos debajo del árbol, dos regalos para cada uno de nosotros. Una diferencia muy grande entre tener un árbol lleno de regalos de todos y para todos y solo verlos”. Pero Serna ve esta navidad como una oportunidad para crear tradiciones e incorporarlas a las de su infancia y planes para disfrutar de las vacaciones. Ella anima a otros que estarán lejos de sus familias a hacer lo mismo. “Si Kansas City es donde ahora ha plantado raíces o sólo está aquí temporalmente, lo único que queda por hacer es aprovecharlo al máximo, crear nuevos recuerdos que atesorará en su corazón”, dijo Serna. “Celebre la vida que está viviendo aquí y ahora con las personas que están con usted, incluso si es solo su cónyuge o sus amigos”. “Sé que no es fácil estar lejos de la familia y los seres queridos, pero no tiene sentido insistir en lo que no tenemos”, agregó. “Concéntrate en lo que tienes y da gracias a Dios por la vida que tienes. La mejor manera de mantener y compartir un poco de su hogar es a través de videollamadas, mostrarles a sus seres queridos lo que ha creado y ver a qué se han aferrado ayuda a unir ambos mundos, sin importar qué tan lejos se encuentre”. Angélica Pinto se encuentra en una situación similar a la de Serna. Originaria de Bolivia, Pinto se crió pasando las fiestas navideñas con su familia, dijo. Esta Navidad no podrá visitar su tierra natal. “Debido a la pandemia, no podré ir a verlos, pero una amiga mía ... (me invitó) a su casa para Navidad”, dijo Pinto. Como sugerencia para otras personas que están lejos de sus familias, Pinto les aconseja que vean sus películas favoritas. También les aconseja que aprovechen la tecnología para mantenerse en contacto con sus seres queridos.

no family or friends nearby, except her husband, whom she met during a visit here, she said. “It is just us, and my two dogs that moved out here with me,” Serna said. For Serna, who grew up in California and is a third-generation Mexican-American, Christmas usually means a large family gathering. “We would gather as a family and cook together and share stories and spend time together,” she recalled. “My parents are divorced, so it was always spending the 24 and 25th with both of them, each at their own houses. It was a lot of food and laughs and a time where we would just enjoy the presence of my loved ones.” One of Serna’s family traditions was making tamales, she said. “One would spread the masa, the other would fill (the tamales) and we would listen to music and sing in the process,” Serna said. “So I would always start at my father’s house, then go to my mom’s and back to my dad’s, where we would have gift exchanges out on his wife’s family’s ranch, where we would end the night with music and dancing around the fire pit.” It will be a different type of celebration for Serna and her husband. “I will make dinner for us and open the gifts that my mom and dad sent us,” she said. “Those are the only gifts under the tree – two gifts for each of us. A very big difference from having a tree full of gifts from everyone and for everyone to only seeing these.” But Serna sees this Christmas as an opportunity to create traditions and incorporate them into those from her childhood and plans to enjoy the holiday. She encourages others who will be away from their families to do so the same. “If Kansas City is where you have now planted roots or are only here temporarily, the only thing left to do is make the best (of it), create new memories that you will cherish in your heart,” Serna said. “Celebrate the life you are living here and now with the people who are with you, even if it is just your spouse or your friends.” “I know it is not easy being away from family and loved ones, but there is no sense on dwelling on what we don’t have,” she added. “Focus on what you do have and give thanks to God for the life you have. The best way to keep and share a little of home is through video calls, showing your loved ones what you’ve created, and seeing what they have held onto helps unite both worlds, no matter how far away you are.” Angelica Pinto is in a similar situation to Serna. Originally from Bolivia, Pinto was raised spending the holidays with her family, she said. This Christmas, she will not be able to visit her homeland. “Due to the pandemic, I won’t be able to go and see them, but a friend of mine … (has invited) me to her house for Christmas,” Pinto said. As a suggestion for others who are away from their families, Pinto advises them to watch their favorite movies. She also advises them to take advantage of technological advances to stay in touch with their loved ones.

Entregan Juguetes a Kids TLC Continued from Page 1A

juguetes Llena un Tundra a principios de diciembre para recolectar juguetes donados por la comunidad. Mattis dijo que los juguetes son una gran forma de apoyo para las familias. “Es una gran ayuda en un momento en el que las familias se ven estresadas y necesitan concentrarse en su salud mental y conductual y en el bienestar de sus familias”, dijo. “Esto proporcionará apoyo continuo incluso más allá de las vacaciones de Navidad”. Los juguetes ofrecerán a los niños una forma de canalizar sus pensamientos mediante el uso de juguetes, dijo Mattis, y expresó su deseo de continuar la asociación. “Estamos tan increíblemente agradecidos por esta asociación y el apoyo en esta época del año, y esperamos que crezca y, con suerte, volver a hacerlo en el futuro”, dijo.

Reyes Media Group and Hendrick Toyota staged a Fill-a-Tundra Toy Drive in early December to collect toys donated by the community. Mattis said the toys are a great form of support for the families. “It’s a tremendous help at a time when families are stretched as it is, and they’re needing to focus on their mental and behavioral health and the wellness of their families,” she said. “This will provide ongoing support even beyond the Christmas holiday.” The toys will offer kids a way to channel their thoughts by using toys, Mattis said, and expressed her desire to continue the partnership. “We are just so incredibly grateful for this partnership and the support this time of the year, and we’re looking forward to it growing and hopefully doing it again in the future,” she said.

Christmas brightens darkness of pandemic

La navidad ilumina la oscuridad de la pandemia

or segundo año consecutivo, la pandemia se cierne sobre la Navidad, amenazando con amortiguar la alegría navideña y descarrilar las celebraciones navideñas. El coronavirus sigue mutando e infectando a más personas. Omicron, la variante más reciente de Covid-19, es la que se propaga más rápido hasta ahora y ahora es la cepa dominante. Afortunadamente, sin embargo, esta Navidad no es una repetición de 2020. Hay tres vacunas contra el Covid-19 autorizadas en Estados Unidos que están disponibles para personas de cinco años en adelante. Hasta el lunes, el 61,4 por ciento de la población del país había sido vacunada. Y al menos dos medicamentos antivirales orales se muestran prometedores

or the second consecutive year, the pandemic looms over Christmas, threatening to muffle holiday cheer and derail Christmas celebrations. The coronavirus continues to mutate and infect more people. Omicron, the most recent Covid-19 variant is the fastest-spreading so far and now the dominant strain. Happily, though, this Christmas isn’t a reprise of 2020. There are three Covid-19 vaccines authorized in the U.S. that are readily available for people ages five and up. As of Monday, 61.4 percent of the U.S. population had been vaccinated. And at least two oral antiviral drugs show promise in clinical trials in reducing the risk of

en ensayos clínicos para reducir el riesgo de hospitalización y muerte relacionadas con el Covid, reporta la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard. Además, la variante Omicron puede ser menos mortal, sugieren los primeros signos. A medida que nos adaptamos y nos reajustamos a un estado de normalidad en constante cambio, buscamos pruebas de que la esperanza de que se ponga fin a la pandemia es realista. Esa esperanza será un invitado bienvenido a nuestras celebraciones navideñas. El domingo pasado, el Papa Francisco se basó en sucesos en la vida de María, la madre de Jesús, y animó a los cristianos a dejarse guiar por su respuesta a su llamado celestial. No se escondió en casa, preocupada por su situación y sus dificultades. Ella no miró hacia abajo a sus problemas, sino a Dios, dijo el pontífice. María no pensó en a quién pedir ayuda, sino a quién llevarla. Francisco instó a los cristianos a buscar formas de compartir la alegría del nacimiento de Jesús en lugar de torturar a otros con quejas. Quejarse no traerá a Dios a nadie, sólo “traerá amargura y cosas oscuras”, dijo. Compartamos ayuda y esperanza con nuestros seres queridos el sábado, honremos las queridas tradiciones y honremos las festividades del día santo con alegría, entusiasmo y precaución. Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades reportan cómo celebrar de manera segura en esta página web, https:// www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/dailylife-coping/holidays/celebrations.html, última actualización en diciembre. 9. Además de las recomendaciones de sentido común, las sugerencias incluyen hacerse una prueba de Covid o usar una autoprueba antes de reunirse para navidad, ejecutar un purificador de aire HEPA para reducir la cantidad de virus en el aire, abrir ventanas y celebrar al aire libre, si el clima lo permite. Una observación de hace décadas del Papa San Pablo VI se ajusta a esta ocasión. Dijo: “Este mundo en el que vivimos necesita belleza para no caer en la desesperación”. Contenida en la bendita anticipación de la Navidad está el saber que experimentaremos la belleza a la que él aludió. Estará en los rostros de los seres queridos y en el gozo de la unión y la calidez del compañerismo. Feliz Navidad de parte de nuestra familia Dos Mundos.

Covid-related hospitalization and death, reports Harvard Medical School. Additionally, the Omicron variant may be less deadly, early signs suggest. As we adjust and readjust to an everchanging state of normalcy, we look for evidence that hope for an end to the pandemic is realistic. That hope will be a welcome guest to our Christmas celebrations. Last Sunday, Pope Francis drew from occurrences in the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus and encouraged Christians to be guided by her response to her heavenly call. She didn’t hide out at home, fretting over her situation and difficulties. She didn’t look down at her problems, but up to God, the pontiff said. Mary didn’t think about whom to ask for help, but to whom to bring help. Francis enjoined Christians to look for ways to share the joy of Jesus’s birth rather than torture others with complaints. Grumbling won’t bring God to anyone, it’ll only “bring bitterness and dark things,” he said. Let’s share help and hope with loved ones Saturday, honor beloved traditions and grace the holy day festivities with joy, enthusiasm and caution. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises how to celebrate safely on this Web page, https://www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/ holidays/celebrations.html, last updated Dec. 9. Besides common sense recommendations, suggestions include getting a Covid test or using a self-test before gathering for Christmas, running a HEPA air purifier to reduce the amount of airborne viruses, open windows and celebrate outdoors, weather permitting. A decades-old observation of Pope St. Paul VI fits this occasion. He said, “This world in which we live needs beauty so as not to fall into despair.” Contained in the blessed anticipation of Christmas is knowing that we’ll experience the beauty to which he alluded. It’ll be there in the faces of loved ones and in the joy of togetherness and warmth of fellowship. Merry Christmas from our Dos Mundos family.

Un vistazo a nuestro 2021

sta última entrega de Voces Consulares de 2021 me da la oportunidad de compartirles un breve recuento del trabajo del consulado en este año –el segundo de la pandemia- y de la colaboración que realizamos con instituciones y personas para reforzar nuestra misión de proteger y promover los derechos de mexicanos en Kansas, Missouri y el oeste de Oklahoma. Comenzando con la lucha contra la pandemia, el 30 de marzo llevamos a cabo la primera clínica de vacunación contra COVID-19 en el Consulado de México, con apoyo de University Health y la Ventanilla de Salud. Fue la primera de 14 clínicas que realizamos en Kansas y en Missouri, en las cuales aplicamos un total de mil 219 dosis (685 a mujeres y 534 a hombres) durante 2021. Para atender la demanda de servicios consulares y abatir el rezago, ofrecimos 13 jornadas sabatinas y seis consulados móviles, que en la práctica añadieron 25 días de trabajo para atención de trámites de pasaporte, matrícula consular y credencial para votar del INE en beneficio de miles de connacionales. En diciembre comenzamos la expedición del nuevo pasaporte electrónico, documento moderno que mejora la protección de la identidad y nacionalidad de nuestra población. Personas representativas de nuestras comunidades participaron en los principales foros convocados por el Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior a través del consulado: Dreamers, artistas, jóvenes y personas LGBTQ. También se visibilizaron las contribuciones de personas mexicanas a este país, con la entrega del Reconocimiento Ohtli a la médica Bárbara Pastrana Pahud por su labor en la lucha contra la pandemia y el desarrollo de vacunas contra COVID-19 desde Kansas City. Con las muy diversas comunidades dentro de nuestro distrito consular se profundizó en colaboración y diálogo para identificar y enfrentar incidentes y discursos de odio, promover la tolerancia y educar sobre la importancia de la diversidad cultural.

his last article of Voces Consulares 2021 gives me the opportunity to share a brief account of the consulate’s work during this year -the second of the pandemic- and of the collaboration we carry out with institutions and individuals to reinforce our mission to protect and promote the rights of Mexicans in Kansas, Missouri and the western half of Oklahoma. Starting with the fight against the pandemic, on March 30 we held the first COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Consulate of Mexico, with the support of University Health and the Consulate’s Window for Health. It was the first of 14 clinics we conducted in Kansas and Missouri, in which we applied a total of 1,219 doses (685 to women and 534 to men) during 2021. To meet the demand for consular services and reduce the backlog, we opened 13 Saturdays and held six mobile consulates, which in practice added 25 working days to issue passports, consular IDs and voter registration cards for the benefit of thousands of nationals. In December we began the issuance of the new electronic passport, a modern document that improves the protection of the identity and nationality of our population.

Uribe, Jarrar offer services for treating teen depression

Uribe y Jarrar ofrecen servicios para tratar la depresión de los adolescentes

uando los padres del área de Kansas City quieren buscar ayuda profesional para sus adolescentes que sufren de depresión, Carolina Uribe y Ada Jarrar están entre los profesionales que consultan. Uribe y Jarrar son terapeutas clínicas bilingües en el Centro de Salud Samuel U. Rodgers de Kansas City, Missouri. Uribe tiene más de 30 años de experiencia como trabajadora social clínica certificada y un máster en trabajo social. Jarrar es una trabajadora social clínica certificada con más de 10 años de experiencia trabajando con personas de diversos grupos. Jarrar presta servicios a niños, adolescentes y adultos. Principalmente, se ha especializado en el trabajo con familias y padres. La mayoría de sus pacientes forman parte de la comunidad hispana y latina, incluyendo niños y adolescentes nacidos en los Estados Unidos o traídos a América a una edad temprana. Basándose en sus experiencias tratando a jóvenes y familias con depresión y cambios de comportamiento, las dos han observado que “muchos de los adolescentes sufren un proceso de asimilación dentro de la cultura de sus padres y en la que ellos se han desarrollado, luchan entre estas dos culturas que causan muchos malentendidos y posibles tensiones en las familias, especialmente por la forma en que sus padres fueron criados y lo que quieren para sus hijos”, dijeron Uribe y

By Tere Siqueira

Jarrar. Ambas explicaron que las minorías tienden a sufrir un mayor riesgo de desarrollar problemas de salud mental debido a múltiples factores, como los estigmas culturales, las barreras lingüísticas entre las familias y la falta general de conciencia sobre la salud mental. Estos problemas también pueden hacer que las familias duden en buscar tratamiento. Los padres de las minorías también pueden ser escépticos a buscar tratamiento para sus adolescentes con depresión debido a las dificultades para identificar los síntomas. La mayoría de los síntomas pueden interpretarse como comportamientos propios de la edad, como estar de mal humor/irritable, sentirse incomprendido y actuar con rebeldía. Animan a los padres a observar los comportamientos de sus hijos adolescentes y a aprender a distinguir entre las actitudes típicas de los adolescentes y los cambios de comportamiento repentinos que podrían ser señales de alarma. “Los padres deben observar a su adolescente y hablar con é l sobre sus cambios y discutir con un especialista en salud mental sobre dichos cambios”, dijeron Uribe y Jarrar. “Los adolescentes están formando su personalidad, y es preocupante no solo si parecen ansiosos, preocupados e inseguros, sino también si muestran cambios de humor drásticos que incluyen ira, irritabilidad, aislamiento y pensamientos de muerte”. En muchos casos los padres pueden retrasar la visita al médico, ignorando la depresión y alcanzando niveles en que la situación empeora, por lo que Uribe y Jarrar aconsejan a los padres que observen el tiempo y la duración de los síntomas y la persistencia del comportamiento. Las señales de advertencia incluyen un comportamiento que dura más de dos semanas sin ningún acontecimiento notable y muestras de actitudes en varias áreas de la vida del adolescente, incluyendo en casa, en la escuela y al interactuar con los amigos. Establecer “relaciones sanas y sólidas” con los padres y otros adultos es clave para prevenir y/o tratar la depresión, según Jarrar. La terapeuta tienen otros consejos para ayudar a que los padres mantengan a sus hijos adolescentes con una buena salud mental. “Modele buenas relaciones y una comunicación sana, establezca vínculos de confianza y respeto, desarrolle la disciplina con amor y lógica, apoye a sus hijos en el desarrollo de un buen (sentido de) autoestima”, indicó Jarrar. Además, Uribe aconseja a los padres “abordar la salud mental a una edad temprana”. “La terapia puede aumentar la resiliencia y reducir el impacto que los eventos traumáticos tienen en la vida de un adolescente, lo que repercute también en su vida adulta», añadió.

hen Kansas City area parents want to seek professional help for their teens suffering from depression, Carolina Uribe and Ada Jarrar are among the professionals they consult. Uribe and Jarrar are bilingual clinical therapists at the Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center in Kansas City, Missouri. Uribe has 30-plus years’ experience as a licensed clinical social worker and a master’s degree in social work. Jarrar is a licensed clinical social worker with 10-plus years’ experience working with people of all backgrounds. Jarrar provides services for children, adolescents, and adults. Primarily, Uribe has specialized in working with families and parents. Most of their patients are part of the Hispanic and Latinx community, including children and adolescents born in the United States or brought to America at a young age. Based on their experiences treating young people and families with depression and behavioral changes, the two have noticed Nota del editor: Si le preocupa que usted o sus that “many of the adolescents suffer from a hijos estén experimentando un problema de salud process of assimilation within their parents’ mental o sufran de angustia emocional, póngase and the dominate culture, they struggle with and/or between these two cultures which en contacto con el Centro de Salud Samuel U.

cause a lot of misunderstandings and possible tension in families, especially because of the way their parents were raised and what they want for their children,” Uribe and Jarrar said. Minorities tend to suffer a higher risk of developing mental health issues because of multiple factors, including cultural stigmas, language barriers among families and a general lack of awareness regarding mental health, the two explained. Those issues also can make families hesitant to seek treatment. Minority parents also might be reluctant to seek treatment for their teens with depression because of the challenges in identifying the symptoms. Most symptoms can be interpreted as ageappropriate behaviors, such as being in a bad/irritable mood, feeling misunderstood and acting rebellious, they explained. They encourage parents to observe their teen’s behaviors and learn to distinguish between typical teen attitudes and sudden behavioral changes that could be red flags. “Parents should observe their adolescent and talk with them about their changes and talk to a mental health specialist about their adolescent’s changes,” Uribe and Jarrar said. “Adolescents are forming their personality, and it is of concern (not only) if they appear anxious, worried and insecure, but also if they show drastic mood swings to include anger, irritability, isolation and thoughts of wanting to die.” Because parents can delay visiting a health provider to the point of ignoring depression until the situation worsens, Uribe and Jarrar advise parents to observe the time and duration of the symptoms and how persistent the behavior is. Warning signs include behavior that lasts more than two weeks without any notable events and behavioral displays in several areas of the teen’s life, including at home, at school and while interacting with friends. Building “healthy and strong relationships with” parents and other adults is key to preventing and/or treating depression, according to Jarrar. She has a few other tips for parents to keep their teens in good mental health. “Model good relationships and healthy communication, establish bonds of trust and respect, develop discipline with love and logic, support your children in developing a good (sense of) self-esteem,” Jarrar said. In addition, Uribe advises parents “to address mental health at an early age.” “Therapy can increase resilience and reduce the impact that traumatic events have on a teen’s life, which impacts their adult life, too,” she said. Editor’s note: If you are concerned that you or your children are experiencing a mental health concern or suffering from emotional distress, contact the Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center at (816) 474-4920.

Biden increases temporary work visas

Biden aumenta las visas de trabajo temporal

l Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) anunció el lunes (20 de diciembre) que la administración de Biden pondrá a disposición 20,000 visas adicionales para trabajadores temporales no agrícolas durante el invierno, informó CNN. De acuerdo a CNN, las personas de Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador y Haití se encuentran entre los que recibirán las visas. La oferta se considera una forma de alentar la migración legal debido a que

la Patrulla Fronteriza de los EE. UU. ha detenido a más de 700,000 migrantes de esos países este año fiscal. Las nuevas visas H-2B se encuentran entre las emitidas, además de la asignación anual de 66,000 visas para el año fiscal. “El programa H-2B permite a los empleadores o agentes estadounidenses que cumplen con los requisitos reglamentarios específicos traer ciudadanos extranjeros a los Estados Unidos para ocupar empleos temporales no agrícolas”, afirma el sitio web de los Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los EE. UU. Estos trabajos incluyen jardinería, hostelería y entretenimiento.

Border Patrol has apprehended 700,000-plus migrants from those countries this fiscal year, the offering is seen as a way of encouraging legal migration. The new H-2B visas are among those issued in addition to the annual allotment of 66,000 visas for the fiscal year. “The H-2B program allows U.S. employers or U.S. agents who meet specific regulatory requirements to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary nonagricultural jobs,” the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website states. Such jobs include landscaping, hospitality and entertainment.

wo doses of COVID-19 vaccine are not enough to stop the spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, Dr. Anthony Fauci said. Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made that comment during a recent virtual briefing at the White House. A booster shot can make the body’s resis-

más efectiva. “Lo único que está muy claro, y sin dudas es su extraordinaria capacidad de propagación”, dijo Fauci durante una entrevista con Chuck Todd en el programa de televisión “Meet the Press”. “Está arrasando el mundo”. Según los funcionarios federales de salud, la variante Ómicron es la versión que se propaga más rápidamente y es la variante dominante en los Estados Unidos, representando el 73% de las nuevas infecciones por COVID-19. Otros expertos en salud han alentado a la población de EE. UU. a recibir vacunas de refuerzo como parte de la respuesta de la administración de Biden a la crisis de salud. Múltiples medios de comunicación han informado que, aunque más del 60% de la población de EE. UU. está completamente vacunada, solo 1 de cada 6 personas ha recibido la vacuna de refuerzo. Se avecinan brotes de COVID y restricciones relacionadas con la enfermedad, basándose en brotes entre equipos de la NFL y nuevas reglas en California y Nueva York. De hecho, los viajes están comenzando a restringirse nuevamente, y la NFL, la NBA y la NHL han retrasado o pospuesto los juegos debido a los brotes de COVID-19. El área de Kansas City está lidiando con un aumento en los casos de COVID. Los hospitales están llenos nuevamente, y los médicos en Kansas City, Lawrence y Topeka han visto casos de COVID y hospitalizaciones duplicados, incluso triplicados en las últimas semanas. Como resultado, algunos hospitales están posponiendo la atención que no es de emergencia ni relacionada con el coronavirus para liberar camas.

Other health experts have encouraged the U.S. population to receive booster shots as part of the Biden administration’s response to the health crisis. Multiple media outlets have reported that, although more than 60% of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated, only 1 in 6 people have received the booster vaccine. COVID outbreaks and COVID-related restrictions are coming, based on outbreaks among NFL teams and new rules in California and New York. Indeed, travel is starting to shut down again, and the NFL, NBA, and NHL have delayed or postponed games because of COVID-19 outbreaks. The Kansas City area is dealing with a spike in COVID cases. Hospitals are full again, and doctors in Kansas City, Lawrence and Topeka have seen COVID cases and hospitalizations double, even triple in recent weeks. As a result, some hospitals are postponing non-emergency, non-coronavirus care to free up beds.
