The World Health Organization says dengue, also called dengue fever, is a virus that presents with severe flu-like symptoms, the main one being a high fever. If left unchecked, the disease can turn into severe dengue, which can lead to plasma leakage, severe bleeding or organ impairment among other symptoms. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the prime carrier of dengue, which spreads to humans via bites from infected females. The mosquitoes are prevalent around standing water, and the prolonged monsoon season hasn’t helped matters....

The 20-year-old was among 10 people killed when a gunman opened fire at the King Soopers on Table Mesa Drive on Monday afternoon.

Arguably the biggest story in boxing this year has been the contentious negotiations between unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and WBC champ Deontay Wilder. Both sides have blamed one other for the fight not happening and have gone their separate ways for the time being. Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs) will defend his IBF, WBA and WBO belts on Sept. 22, when he takes on former titlist Alexander Povetkin, while Wilder is rumored to be on the verge of facing former unified and current lineal champion Tyson Fury (26-0, 19 KOs) in December....

Fury will look to claim the only belt he has not held when Wilder puts his WBC strap on the line at the Staples Center in a bout between two undefeated fighters. The buildup has been unsurprisingly tempestuous, with the pair clashing at a news conference earlier in the week, and they were kept at opposite ends of the stage by their respective entourages on Friday. Join DAZN and watch Canelo plus more than 100 fight nights a year...

David Sobolewski drained a 3-pointer with five seconds remaining to give the Wildcats a 56-55 lead in Evanston, Ill. Unfortunately, Northwestern left too much time on the clock, and too much space in the paint, and Billy Garrett Jr. made them pay, DePaul gave Northwestern every chance to get back in this game. The Wildcats eventually took the lead, but ultimately decided to let the Blue Demons win. (H/T Big Ten Network)

Last December, it ended up being as bad as it looked — the diagnosis and the consequences for the Raiders. Their Super Bowl hopes were left in the hands of Connor Cook. It ended the way it was expected to. On Sunday, it was still up in the air whether Carr was just suffering from “back spasms” that would clear up soon, as coach Jack Del Rio said afterward. There’s a chance that in 24 hours it will be chalked up as a minor scare … unless it’s not....

Testifying on the fourth day of Chauvin’s murder trial in the May 2020 death of Floyd, who was in police custody at the time, Sergeant David Ploeger said the use of force should have stopped. “When Mr. Floyd was no longer offering up any resistance to the officers, they could have ended their restraint,” he testified.

The Avs are negotiating with Ryan, according to The Denver Post. It appears a two-way deal is in the works. At 5-10, Ryan is big than Johnson, a generous 5-9. Neither was he wanted during his years of eligibility for the NHL Draft....

Fans at The Garden need to reverse course on their negative bent in which Stepan was vilified by the end of his tenure in New York following a poor playoff showing last spring, a symbol – or scapegoat – along with goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, since-departed defenseman Dan Girardi and head coach Alain Vigneault of the team’s fall from prior successes, and instead show appreciation for all he did while wearing the Rangers sweater....

That number has now dropped to 1.425 billion doses, which puts more pressure on wealthy nations to act and help prevent further delays to global vaccine distribution.
