A deadly COVID-19 outbreak linked to an inflatable Christmas tree costume at a California hospital has now infected at least 92 people, including 15 patients, health officials say.

An employee who wore a fan-powered costume in the Kaiser Permanente San Jose emergency room on Christmas may have been a “superspreader,” The Mercury News reported.

Santa Clara County health officials say a COVID outbreak at the hospital, which began Dec. 27, has now spread to 77 employees and 15 patients, reported.

In Los Angeles County, about two people are dying every hour on average from the virus, something the county's public health officer called an "explosive and very deadly surge."

Nationwide -– Essie Berry, a civil rights activist known for helping victims of injustice, says it all started in 2013 when she was to start a reality show and began helping Mary Harvey, Steve Harvey’s ex-wife with some legal matters. Essie says that Steve did not like the fact that she was helping his ex and he began intimidating her with scare tactics along with threatening and harassing messages.

With Republican and Democratic negotiators struggling to reach an agreement on both a mammoth government spending bill and Covid-19 relief, lawmakers are set to postpone what had been a Friday night deadline for passing a bill.

Talks over a $908 billion pandemic relief plan have slowed, with negotiators still working to resolve key details on state and local aid as well as liability protections for businesses. Lawmakers are also still wrangling over a $1.4 trillion omnibus bill to fund the government into 2021, to which the Covid-19 package would be attached.

With current funding set to expire Dec. 11, the House is planning to vote Wednesday on a one-week continuing resolution to avert a shutdown, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said in a tweet. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said his chamber would pass the funding extension “whenever we get it” from the House.

McConnell didn’t directly address the bipartisan compromise proposal in remarks on the Senate floor. He said both parties urgently need to act on measures that have broad support, such as aid for businesses, extended unemployment benefits and money for vaccines. All of their other disagreements “aren’t going to be resolved over night,

When Black Lightning returns for its fourth and final season on The CW early next year, it'll be with a little less of one of its biggest stars. China Anne McClain, who plays Jefferson Piercer's daughter Jennifer (aka Lightning) on the hit DC Comics series, announced in a video to fans over the weekend that we'll be seeing less of her character as the show heads toward its curtain call.

In an emotional, 12-minute video message posted to her Instagram page, McClain -- also known for her roles in Tyler Perry's House of Payne and Disney's Descendants films -- revealed that she was planning to leave Black Lightning after the fourth season even before the cast knew that Season 4 before would be the final one. Because of that, she noted that she'll have a reduced role in the final season.

We will be feeding, at least 300 people,GOD is Awesome!!!!!

But now the warfare has reportedly engulfed the lives of other people associated with the two. One friend of Vaughn has reportedly filed a multi-pronged lawsuit against the legendary comedian-turned-“Family Feud” host, saying Harvey unleashed his goons on her to harass and intimidate the civil rights activist and “murder her emotional state of mind” after he learned that she was in talks to do a reality show with his ex-wife.

Essie Berry has reportedly filed a  lawsuit against the Kings of Comedy star for “defamation, despicable conduct, intentional infliction of mental anguish and emotional distress,” Bossip reports after, according to Berry, he engineered a years-long campaign of malicious intimidation and sabotage, according to court documents filed on May 22.

Berry is the widow of sitcom star Fred Berry from the classic show “What’s Happening.” Harvey allegedly commenced a seek-and-destroy mission of Berry after she and Harvey’s ex-wife, Mary Vaughn, were in the talks to participate in a reality show she’d been pitched called “Widows, Wives and Ex-Celebrity Wives.”

Berry said she was not privy to the fact that Vaughn had signed a nondisclosure agreement during her turbulent divorce from Harvey that forbids her from speaking on anything related to the former marriage.

Once Harvey found out that such a reality show was possibly in the works, Berry said Harvey went volcanic and tried to torpedo Berry’s life though “malicious prosecution.” Harvey allegedly referred to her as an “extortionist” and a “co-conspirator.” Berry said Harvey’s shenanigans and industry sabotaging scared away this and any other reality show opportunities.

“…The defendant went (to) great lengths to make Ms. Berry’s life a living hell,” Berry wrote in court docs, according to Bossip.

Harvey countered Berry’s accusations as unsubstantiated and meritless and dismissed her as a person who was abusing the justice system.

Berry fired a few counter strikes, saying Harvey did the following to her:

“When someone saw the man peeking in the window, he was confronted,” Berry wrote in her new complaint, according to the entertainment publication. “This is when he identified himself as an affiliate of Harvey, not an officer of any court. He asked for the plaintiff by first name, then ran off.”

A terrified Berry responded by filing a police report and getting a restraining order against Harvey, her court papers say. She is asking the courts for $5M in damages, as she said she had to seek medical help to deal with anxiety, panic attacks and other health-related issues due to her extreme fear of the Harvey camp.

federal wrongful death lawsuit alleges that a manager at a Tyson Foods plant in Iowa organized a group bet on how many meatpacking employees would contract Covid-19 just as the coronavirus began to spread widely among plant workers in late March and early April.

The suit, filed on behalf of the estate of deceased Tyson Foods, Inc. employee Isidro Fernandez, alleges that Covid-19 was spreading widely at the Waterloo, Iowa pork processing plant in early April when Black Hawk County Sheriff Tony Thompson visited with county health officials.

Working conditions at the plant were so bad that they "shook" Thompson "to the core," according to the suit, which said that, at that time, Waterloo plant workers were crowded together and few wore face coverings.

The suit alleges that Thompson lobbied Tyson to close the plant and they did not.

The suit also alleges that as Waterloo employees fell ill, Tyson transferred employees from another shuttered facility to Waterloo and did not properly test those employees before doing so, worsening the spread.

"Around this time, Defendant Tom Hart, the Plant Manager of the Waterloo Facility, organized a cash buy-in, winner-take-all betting pool for supervisors and managers to wager how many employees would test positive for COVID-19," the suit alleges.

Hart did not immediately respond to NBC News' request for comment.

On April 22, due to the wide spread of coronavirus among its employees, Tyson shut down their Waterloo, Iowa pork processing plant that is at the center of this lawsuit.
