By DAVID BAUDER NEW YORK — President Joe Biden’s fitness to serve a second term in office has been a top story since his halting performance in last week’s debate against Donald Trump, where the president at times appeared unable to complete or articulate some thoughts in the pressure of the moment. To some press critics who are now reading these stories, there’s another question: What took you so long? “It is simply astounding for the entire country, including its most seasoned reporters, to be as shocked as everyone was by the ugly and painful reality of Biden’s debate performance,” Jill Abramson, former executive editor of The New York Times, told the website Semafor this week.

Colorado wildlife officers are on the lookout for a Patagonian mara roaming a Lakewood park, though it’s unclear how the large rodent native to South America made its way to metro Denver. Bear Creek Lake Park rangers and visitors have reported several encounters with what appears to be a Patagonian mara, an Argentine animal that looks like a mix between a rabbit and a capybara.

An unidentified employee of a dairy in northeast Colorado is the fifth person in the U. S. with a confirmed infection of the highly pathogenic avian influenza, but he only had mild symptoms. The person, an adult man who had direct access to infected cattle, developed conjunctivitis, or pink eye, after exposure to infected cows, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said Wednesday.

State officials haven’t released any other details, including the name of the farm he works at or its location, how the avian flu virus may have hopped from cows to the employee, or whether authorities tested other people who lived or worked with the man. The first person who tested positive for highly pathogenic H5N1 avian flu in the United States was a poultry worker in western Colorado in 2022.
