The deaths mystified investigators, residents and curious people following the case from around the world who wondered:

How could the entire family die together with no obvious signs of foul play or injury?

Law enforcement initially treated the scene as a hazardous materials site out of fears the family inhaled toxic fumes, possibly from an abandoned mine in the area.

The family lived in San Francisco before moving to Mariposa County during the pandemic.

They bought one property near the trailhead on Hites Cove Road.

National news outlets have published the story of an 8-year-old boy becoming the youngest person to climb the famous El Capitan.

But is it really true?

sfchronicle.com/california/art…
El Capitan is the 3,000-foot-high granite monolith near the west entrance of Yosemite Valley that has challenged the world’s elite climbers for decades.
For the past year, the 8-year-old’s father went on a year-long media spree, describing his son as a “world-class climber” on the brink of joining the lineage of Yosemite’s renowned big-wall pioneers.

Veterans of the sport in Yosemite have been skeptical. sfchronicle.com/california/art…

Authorities are asking for help identifying a woman who died shortly after she was found on fire on a trail in Antioch on Monday. trib.al/hAllMiC
A resident called authorities just after 5:30 a.m. Monday to report a small fire on the Mokelumne Trail.

When firefighters arrived, they found a person on fire and worked to extinguish the blaze. The individual died from their injuries at the scene.
The woman was believed to be African American, under 30, approximately 5-foot-6 and described as having had “extensive dental work done in the past, including three missing left lower molars and a distinctive gap between her top front middle teeth.” sfchronicle.com/eastbay/articl…

Some more sensationalist reports have called XBB a “nightmare variant ” due to its apparent ability to evade immunity and dampen some therapies.

But what do the experts say? sfchronicle.com/health/article…
The subvariant was first detected in August in India and has since been sequenced in more than 17 countries, including Bangladesh, Japan, and Singapore, where it has caused cases to spike at an alarming rate. sfchronicle.com/health/article…
But Singapore’s 79% booster uptake rate and strict virus mitigation measures appear to be blunting the impact of the new strain when it comes to the worst outcomes of the disease. sfchronicle.com/health/article…

Concerns about a possible new surge arise from a combination of three factors, according to @PCH_SF:

1/ Human behavior
2/ Evolution of the virus
3/ Waning immunity from vaccines and prior infection
sfchronicle.com/health/article…
“The question is not whether we will see an increase in cases and hospitalizations — we will — but by how much."

sfchronicle.com/health/article…
The BA.5 omicron subvariant is still the dominant strain in the U.S., accounting for nearly 90% of cases in late August. However, its share has since fallen to 81%.

Here are the omicron offshoots experts are monitoring closely, and why:

The Warriors can’t treat Green’s punch as just "Draymond being Draymond."

Here's why:sfchronicle.com/sports/warrior…
In the eight years since Draymond Green emerged as an elite NBA player, the Golden State Warriors have stomached his antics — the impulse-control issues, the controversial sound bites — for a simple reason:

His positives far outweighed his negatives. sfchronicle.com/sports/warrior…
Almost every time Draymond Green embarrassed the organization in some public way, there was an underlying feeling from Golden State management of, “Draymond is Draymond. It is what it is.”

There has never been a player quite like him: bit.ly/3VcqxLh ImageImage

The video of Wednesday’s altercation between Golden State Warriors players Draymond Green and Jordan Poole shows it was more than just a scuffle:
sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
As the video of the argument between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole went viral, columnist Ann Killion said she told herslef that it was being overblown.

This sort of thing happens all the time in the NBA, right?

Wrong. sfchronicle.com/sports/warrior…
Stephen Curry said the scuffle between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole was an unfortunate situation that could’ve been avoided.

Like Steve Kerr, Curry dismissed reports of Poole’s behavior as “absolutely B.S.” sfchronicle.com/sports/warrior…
