It is hayfever season and as people reach for their antihistamines, COVID anxiety is generating additional fears over what their symptoms could really mean.

COVID-19 and hayfever do share some common symptoms, though it's not a perfect crossover, as SA Health showed in a tweet.

And symptoms for either condition can vary from mild to severe, depending on the person.

Health advice for who should get tested for COVID-19 has varied during the pandemic.

In areas with emerging uncontrolled outbreaks, people have sometimes been urged to not get tested unless they have been to an exposure site.

However, the most consistent advice has been to get tested if you start suffering from COVID-19 systems.

And in locked-down areas such as New South Wales and Victoria, where cases continue to rise, people are urged to come forward even with the mildest of symptoms.

The Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows ski resort in the US has announced it will change its name to Palisades Tahoe, effective immediately.

"Today marks the first day of the next chapter of our resort's storied history," the resort wrote in a message posted to its website and social media accounts. "While the name may be new, the legend and legacy of these valleys continue on, now as Palisades Tahoe."

The Washoe Tribe was part of the decision-making process on the new name.

Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows resort will be changing its name after the 2021 spring ski season, acknowledging that the word "squaw" is considered a "racist and sexist slur," according to a statement posted on the resort's website and social media accounts.

The company decided to drop the derogatory name after outreach to Native American groups, including the local Washoe Tribe. When the resort was named in 1949, there was no intent to be derogatory or offensive, the Tahoe-area resort stated.

The word "squaw" was introduced by Lewis and Clark in 1805 and used by early fur traders and trappers, according to the University of Idaho. In today's social context, Native Americans understand the term to be a slur.

"With the momentum of recognition and accountability we are seeing around the country, we have reached the conclusion that now is the right time to acknowledge a change needs to happen," said Ron Cohen, president and COO of Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows. "While we love our local history and the memories, we all associate with this place as it has been named for so long, we are confronted with the overwhelming evidence that the term 'squaw' is considered offensive."

The mountain resort is known for its skiing and snowboarding and provided venues for the 1960 Winter Olympic Games.

"As much as we cherish the memories we associate with our resort name, we must accept that these emotional attachments do not justify our continuing use of a word that is widely accepted to be a racist and sexist slur," Cohen said. "We will find a new name that reflects our core values, storied past, and respect for all those who have enjoyed this land."

The process to determine the resort's new name is scheduled to begin immediately. A renaming project team lead by resort leadership will manage the selection and an announcement is planned for 2021.

The house former drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán fled in 2014 when Mexican marines had him surrounded underwent some changes recently as the Mexican government prepared to give it away in a national lottery.

The surveillance cameras that covered every angle of the modest home’s exterior were removed. And the hole under a bathtub that Guzmán had slipped through to reach a network of tunnels was covered with a concrete slab.

The Associated Press was given access to the property in a quiet Culiacan neighborhood ahead of the lottery.

In recent weeks, Mexico’s Institute to Return Stolen Goods to the People, known by its initials as INDEP, gave it a fresh coat of white paint inside and out and tiled over the spot in the bathroom where the tub and tunnel entry point had been.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has been talking up the lottery of seized properties, but gave no mention to the history of this particular house. An expansive home in one of Mexico City’s swankiest neighborhoods and a private box at the famed Azteca Stadium have garnered more attention.

INDEP’s website lists it only as “Casa en Culiacán.” It’s about 2800 square feet (260.1 square metres) and located, perhaps appropriately, in a neighborhood called Libertad, or “Freedom.” The government values the two-bedroom home at US$183,000 ($250,000).

The house had been abandoned for years and the marines did some damage when they searched it, so repairs were necessary.

Guzmán escaped that time through the tunnels, but his freedom lasted only days. On February 22, 2014, the marines descended again, this time in a condo on the coast in Mazatlan.

By that time, Guzmán already had a reputation for daring escapes. He had slipped out of one of Mexico’s maximum-security prisons in 2001, allegedly in a laundry cart.

In July 2015, less than a year and half after his capture in Mazatlan, Guzmán slipped through a tunnel dug up to the drain in his cell’s shower and rode a motorcycle on tracks laid through a tunnel to escape another maximum-security Mexican prison.

The marines captured him again six months later in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, where he had been holed up in another unremarkable home.

Guzmán was extradited to the US, tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison in July 2019.

INDEP officials, who declined to be identified because they were not authorised to speak, said they were surprised the house was getting attention. It is not luxurious. There is no swimming pool, none of the ostentation that characterizes other narco properties in Sinaloa.

People nearby said they didn't know who their neighbor was.

“We never knew anything, we never knew who lived there, we never saw anyone,” said one neighbor, who quickly cut off the conversation. Many locals aren't interested in speaking of Guzmán or even saying his name in a place where the Sinaloa cartel remains powerful.

The house was well located for its previous purposes. There is a neighbour only on one side. On the other is a subterranean storm sewer — Culiacan authorities built hundreds of kilometres of them to deal with torrential rains — which is where the bathroom tunnel connected to make Guzmán’s escape possible. A school is across the street.

On the morning of February 17, 2014, the neighborhood was suddenly filled with the marines’ grey trucks. They blocked traffic. There was no doubt they were interested in the seemingly unremarkable house.

But they didn’t find Guzmán there. In fact, during his US trial, a witness testified that Guzmán was not in any of the five houses marines searched, despite reports to the contrary at the time.

Five days later, the marines caught up to Guzmán 200km to the south in Mazatlan, where he was staying with his wife Emma Coronel and their twin daughters.

INDEP tried to auction off the home last year. It started the bidding at about US$130,000 ($177,595). There were no takers.

Now, Mr López Obrador is giving it away as part of the lottery, with the drawing scheduled for Wednesday, the day before Mexico celebrates its Independence Day. It’s the first time Mexico’s national lottery is giving away property. The proceeds are to go to Mexico’s Olympic athletes.

“This raffle is very important and I call on all the people, those who can help buying a ticket, or two or three,” Mr López Obrador said at his daily news conference last week.

In downtown Mexico City, lottery ticket vendors said sales have been good.

Jorge López said he’s been selling 100 to 120 of the US$12 tickets ($16.39) daily since last week. He said the value of the 22 prizes, many well above that of the Culiacan house, is drawing attention. Some people ask about who the properties’ previous owners were, but not many, he said.

Back in Culiacan, across town near the centre, Ignacio Mariscal said he supports the lottery.

“Those houses didn’t serve anyone; those people had them,” Mr Mariscal said.

“I see it as perfectly fine. It’s to help people in need.”

After launching six years ago, the Apple Watch is getting its biggest update yet with Apple announcing at a virtual event this morning the latest generation — the Apple Watch Series 7.

This new generation features an all-new screen design which pushes the actual digital screen further toward the edges, allowing for larger touch buttons on screens as well as a full keyboard option when composing text.

There's no radical change to the overall design style of the Apple Watch face though, despite rumours it would change.

The watch face is larger, with a border of just 1.7mm stretching the watch face to be bigger than ever, up from 40 and 44mm on the more recent model Apple Watches and far larger than the original 38 and 42mm sizes. The screen is also 70 per cent brighter.

Health and fitness are still at the core of Apple's approach to the smartwatch market, with the heart rate, blood oxygen and ECG features which have been industry leading in many ways.

New features for Apple Watch include support for cycling, including fall detection for cyclist — given the popularity of cycling, both on-road and off, this will be a huge hit.

Durability appears a key feature, with Apple calling this the "most durable Apple Watch ever", featuring IP6X dust resistance and WR50 water resistance.

There's also new fast-charging available via a new USB-C connection, delivering a solid charge in a rapid 40 minutes.

Bodycam footage has been released of the alleged assault of two female police officers in Sydney's west and the accused attacker's subsequent arrest.

Just after midday yesterday two officers patrolling in Bankstown allegedly told a man to get off the road so he wasn't hit by a bus.

Next, it is alleged, came a flurry of punches and kicks before the man ran off.

In the new video, one officer can be heard panting while calling for backup, telling a colleague a male just "assaulted two officers".

"Red jumper, grey trackies, he's gone into the loading dock at IGA," she said.

Members of the public can also be seen stopping to help the officers who were attacked.

Video has also been released of the man's arrest in Yagoona a short time later.

Once he was taken to Bankstown Police Station he allegedly assaulted a third officer.

Last night the 43-year-old was charged with a string of offences including assaulting police.

He was refused bail today.
