TALLAHASSEE,​ FL – October 26,⁣ 2025 – Florida health officials are strongly recommending residents get vaccinated‍ against the flu as the state ‍sees an ⁣increase in influenza cases and emergency room visits. The Centers for ⁣Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports most people recover from the⁤ flu in ⁣a few days to less than two weeks, but⁢ complications‌ like pneumonia ⁤can be ‌life-threatening.

* Hygiene: Frequent handwashing with soap and water,‍ or using hand sanitizer, helps prevent the spread of viruses. Covering your mouth​ when sneezing or coughing is ⁣also crucial.
* Masking: Wearing a mask in enclosed spaces, such as airplanes, ⁢can reduce transmission risk. Flu cases ​dropped ​significantly⁢ during periods of widespread masking.
* Isolation: Individuals​ experiencing flu-like symptoms – chills, fever, fatigue, congestion, cough, runny nose, and headaches – should stay home to​ avoid spreading ‍the illness. if ‌public ⁤appearances are unavoidable, masking and social distancing are‌ advised.

Home Depot’s Skelly Returns Alongside Increasingly ⁢Elaborate Halloween Displays

ATLANTA – Halloween decorations are arriving earlier and growing larger at Home ‌Depot,⁣ with the return⁤ of the ⁣popular Skelly ⁣skeleton leading the charge. The retailer is expanding its selection of oversized décor, animatronics, ⁤and themed displays as ‍consumers continue to embrace extended ⁤”spooky ‍season” ‌celebrations.

Home Depot’s aggressive rollout⁤ of Halloween merchandise reflects a broader ‌trend of earlier and⁣ more extravagant seasonal decorating. ⁣The⁤ National Retail Federation forecasts Halloween spending will reach a record $12.2 billion in ⁤2024, with 73% ‌of consumers planning to celebrate.⁤ This demand is⁣ driving ​retailers to ⁤offer increasingly elaborate​ and immersive Halloween experiences,capitalizing on the growing enthusiasm for the holiday.

The 12-foot⁢ Skelly skeleton,frist introduced in 2022,quickly became a viral sensation and sold out rapidly.This ⁣year, Skelly is back alongside new, large-scale​ options ⁣including ⁣a 15-foot spider and a ‍colossal, inflatable dragon. Home Depot is also offering a wider⁤ range of ​animatronics, projection effects, ​and ‍themed collections to cater to diverse tastes.

“Customers are looking to create a bigger and more immersive Halloween experience,” ​said Home Depot spokesperson, confirming the‍ increased investment in Halloween décor. “We’re responding by offering a wider variety of products, from giant​ inflatables to‍ complex animatronics, to​ help them bring their spooky visions to life.”

Beyond Skelly,⁢ other retailers are also expanding their⁤ Halloween offerings. Lowe’s⁤ recently⁤ launched Disney’s Haunted Mansion collection ⁢in June,with the Haunted⁤ mansion Hanging‍ frame selling out ⁢in a single day. A Halloween-themed Stitch ‍costume from⁢ Lilo & Stitch also quickly sold out. Lowe’s ⁤is‍ also featuring animatronics from Tim Burton’s ⁤Frankenweenie, including a 5-foot victor ⁢and‍ 2-foot Sparky.

Title: Indigenous Peoples’ Day vs. Columbus Day: What You Need to Know

Michigan to ⁢Observe Indigenous⁣ Peoples’ Day Alongside​ Federal Columbus Day

LANSING – As teh United States marks Columbus Day as a federal holiday on October ‍14, 2025, Michigan will also recognize ⁢Indigenous Peoples’ ⁣Day,‌ acknowledging⁤ the ⁤important impact of European⁢ settlement on Native American communities. The observance comes amid ongoing national debate surrounding⁤ the legacy of Christopher Columbus.

Historical records show Indigenous peoples suffered⁤ theft, loss‍ of their homelands, enslavement, death, forced displacement and disrupted cultural traditions due to European settlement. Native America saw its population decline by ​95% within 130 years of​ initial European contact, according to museum data.

“Celebrating Columbus and other explorers like him⁤ dismisses the devastating losses experienced by Indigenous Peoples ‍of the Western Hemisphere in the past and the ongoing effects of colonialism today,” a statement on⁢ a museum website reads.

Columbus Day remains a federal holiday, with ​President Trump issuing a proclamation on October 9,⁣ 2025, praising Columbus as “the original American⁢ hero” and criticizing efforts ⁢to reframe the day to ‌focus on Indigenous peoples. The‍ proclamation stated, “This ​Columbus Day, we honor his life with reverence ​and gratitude, and we pledge to reclaim his remarkable legacy…from the left-wing arsonists who have‍ sought to destroy his name and dishonor his memory.”

Celebrations of Columbus Day in the U.S.date back to 1792. In 1892, ​the holiday⁤ became a way to honor Italian immigrants,‌ who faced ⁢discrimination at⁢ the time, following a⁢ proclamation by President⁣ Benjamin Harrison. President⁢ Franklin D.⁣ Roosevelt designated columbus day a ‌federal holiday in 1934.
