AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Boxing Safety & Neurology: Puerto Rican boxer Prichard Colón has died at 33, nearly 11 years after a 2015 bout left him with catastrophic brain injury after illegal “rabbit punches,” according to statements from his father Richard Colón; the World Boxing Council and World Boxing Organization previously cited irreversible neurological damage and said the case pushed stricter safety protocols. Public Health & Food Safety: The CDC reports Cyclospora has sickened 740 people nationwide with two deaths, with the lettuce-linked outbreak now driving most confirmed cases; Puerto Rico is among the places reporting infections, and officials say the contaminated product is gone—so the key question is whether lingering illness was tested. Water Security & Community Health: Puerto Rico’s drought-driven water rationing continues, with some areas seeing running water shut off every two days and many households without consistent service for months; coverage highlights both infrastructure strain and the missed opportunity to harvest rainwater as a practical health-protection step during shortages. Infection Risk & Zoonotic Threats: A CDC-linked report warns rhesus macaques—present in Florida and Puerto Rico—may carry herpes B virus and pose an occupational health risk, raising concerns about human exposure as tourism and wildlife contact continue. Workforce Health & Access: Milken Institute School of Public Health will waive its $155 master’s application fee for the first 1,000 applicants for the 2026–27 cycle, aiming to reduce cost barriers for future public health leaders.
