Researchers have developed a new Spanish acronym aimed to raise awareness of stroke symptoms in the Hispanic community. Known as RAPIDO, it seeks to replicate the popular FAST mnemonic that exists in English.
Studies show that while Hispanic adults currently have a similar rate of stroke as their non-Hispanic white counterparts, they are not as aware of the symptoms. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report from November and based on a 2017 national survey showed that just 58% of Hispanic adults knew the telltale stroke symptoms. They trailed behind their Black (64%) and white (71%) peers.

The relief plan will provide $350 billion to cities and states that saw a drop in tax revenue but increase in expenses, more than $25 billion in emergency rental assistance, nearly $10 billion in emergency mortgage aid for homeowners, extensions of unemployment payments through early September and a third round of stimulus checks, starting at $1,400. Moneybagg Joe, a play on the moniker given to Megan Thee Stallion s rapper ex-boyfriend Moneybagg Yo, began to trend shortly after. And as of Friday morning, Twitter still had memes rolling in.

How can such a man be guilty of the very ugliness he condemns? It may be difficult to reconcile this contradiction, but the dynamic reflects the complex nature of racism./Associated PressShow MoreShow Less
