Deion Sanders breaks silence on health amid undisclosed illness
Deion Sanders has given an update on the mystery illness he's currently dealing with. The former NFL star, 57, announced over the weekend that he's still not entirely over whatever undisclosed illness he's been battling. Sanders shared the rare update on his son, Deion Jr.'s, YouTube vlog on Sunday. Deion Sanders opens up about health battle: 'I aint all the way recovered' During the video, Coach Prime's youngest child, daughter Shelomi Sanders, 21, tried to coax the NFL Hall of Famer into an ice bath on the family's patio outside their Texas ranch. Wearing a pair of grey sweat shorts and a red hoodie with a money symbol on the front, Deion was hesitant to get in at first, but eventually climbed into the ice-cold bathtub. He stayed in the water for about 30 seconds before jumping out and telling his daughter that it's too cold and he needs "toe covers." He then told his daughter, "You know I'm still going through something." "I aint all the way recovered," he added. Despite whatever medical condition Deion's battling, he was still very active and remained in good spirits during the video with his kids. Deion Sanders announced his mystery illness in June 2025 The 57-year-old Colorado Buffaloes coach announced that he was "doing the best" he could during a 1.3 mile run with Shelomi and even tapped into a little tennis action at one point in the clip. Deion - who's also a parent to Deondra Sanders, 33, Tampa Baby Buccaneers rookie safety Shilo Sanders, 25, and Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, 23, - first announced that he was battling an undisclosed health issues on June 10. At the time, he said he would be missing some Buffaloes football camps because of it. He didn't share any specifics with fans, but assured them that "everything is ok." His son, Deion Jr. has since said that his father will share more details on the specifics at a later time but is yet to reveal what he's going through. In 2022 and 2023, the former NFL star had multiple procedures on his leg and foot and had two toes amputated.

Mosquito traps set and study launched in B.C.'s Sea-to-Sky region after illnesses reported
Social Sharing Mosquito traps have been set up across the Sea-to-Sky region in British Columbia as health officials launch a pilot project amid concerns of severe illness transmitted by the insects. Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) said Friday that there were four cases of mosquito-borne illnesses due to the California Serogroup viruses late last year, that resulted in swelling of the brain. Dr. Moliehi Khaketla, medical health officer for VCH, said in an interview that the viruses aren't new to B.C., but it's unusual to see these "very severe" human cases. "So, this prompted us to study further, just to see and better characterize what is happening within the Sea to Sky area," said Khaketla. Officials are asking people to take precautions against mosquito bites in the region, as they warn that mosquito activity could increase in B.C. as the weather gets warmer due to climate change. The health authority said those who have been in the Sea-to-Sky region and develop symptoms of severe headaches with fever or seizures are advised to seek care immediately. What's the buzz with mosquitoes this year? 17 days ago Mosquitoes are top of mind for many people going outside near sunrise and sunset. The tiny pests seem to always get in the way during these warm summer days. CBC's Tristan Mottershead has more on this year's mosquito scene. As part of the monitoring study, traps have already been set up in the Sea-to-Sky region — along Howe Sound and north to Whistler and Pemberton — where officials say all the patients likely acquired the infections in the area. The purpose of the traps is to understand the area's mosquitoes and the illnesses they spread. Dr. Rohit Vijh, another VCH medical health officer, told CBC News that the traps were being set up at sites identified by local First Nations and environmental scientists, after input from the four patients who reported serious illness. The health authority said the four patients have recovered from their illness. The mosquito project will last for three months, and Vancouver Coastal Health said it wants to learn more about the risk to the public. In the meantime, those in the area should take preventive measures against mosquito bites, it said. Measures to protect against bites include wearing protective clothing, and avoiding any stagnant water around backyards that can be pools for mosquito breeding, said Khaketla. Khaketla said the purpose of the study is to help health officers learn more about the mosquito population within that corridor and understand what specific viruses that they are carrying. "We wanted people to be aware of the mosquito circulation within the Sea to Sky area, as it is summer months, we expect mosquitoes to circulate." The mosquito-borne illnesses that officials investigated, part of the so-called California Serogroup viruses, usually do not cause symptoms, but when they do occur, they are flu-like, with a fever, headache, fatigue, and occasional nausea or vomiting. Climate change risk Officials say the specific viruses that caused illness in the Sea-to-Sky region were the Snowshoe Hare virus and the Jamestown Canyon virus. Vancouver Coastal Health said that, prior to this cluster of four cases, 10 cases associated with the two viruses were reported in B.C. since 2009, two of which were in the VCH region. The health authority said in a statement that cases of mosquito-borne illnesses usually occur between May to October when there is increased mosquito activity, but this period may be extended due to "increasingly warmer temperatures" from climate change. "As our temperatures rise, as well as the period of of increased heat becomes longer and there's more months, you will see more mosquito activity," Vijh said. "The longer summers you have, the more likely more of those [mosquito] eggs will be produced and survive over the winter," he added. Vancouver Coastal Health, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, partners from the Lil'wat Nation and Squamish nations and the University of British Columbia will collaborate on the surveillance pilot project.

Jeff Lynne ‘gutted' to cancel shows but is now recuperating at home
Jeff Lynne has said he is now at home recuperating after cancelling the final shows of his Electric Light Orchestra tour due to illness. The 77-year-old musician was forced to withdraw from BST Hyde Park on July 13 following advice from doctors, who have been treating him for a 'systemic infection'. The headline performance had been billed as a 'final goodbye' for the band following their farewell US tour, Over And Out. — Jeff Lynne's ELO (@JeffLynnesELO) July 18, 2025 In a statement shared to social media on Thursday, Lynne said: 'I am now at home recuperating. 'I was absolutely gutted to have to cancel the final two shows. 'I send my heartfelt thanks to all of the fans as well as my band and crew for all their support and love.' His message follows the decision by BST organisers to cancel the entire day's event at Hyde Park after ELO's withdrawal. Ticket holders are being refunded and were contacted directly by ticket agents. An earlier statement from the festival said Lynne was 'heartbroken' to miss the show, and would not be rescheduling as he focuses on recovery. It comes after the band – known for their 1970s hits including Mr Blue Sky, Livin' Thing and Telephone Line – also pulled out of a performance in Manchester on July 10. ELO first formed in Birmingham in 1970 and were known for blending orchestral arrangements with futuristic rock. The group split in 1986 but was revived by Lynne in 2014, leading to a celebrated comeback set at BST Hyde Park that year. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 and have had multiple UK chart-topping albums. Lynne was made an OBE in 2020 and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015.

Unknown illness sickens 140 people aboard Royal Caribbean cruise
Over 140 passengers and crew members aboard a Royal Caribbean International ship have been sickened by an unidentified illness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Vessel Sanitation Program said Wednesday. The ship, the Navigator of the Seas, was on a week-long, round-trip cruise that departed from Los Angeles on July 4. The ship made three stops in Mexico, according to ship tracking site CruiseMapper, then returned to Los Angeles on July 11, which is when the outbreak was reported to the CDC. Of the ship's 3,914 passengers, 134 reported being ill during the trip. Seven crew members out of 1,266 reported illness. The symptoms they experienced included diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal cramps, the CDC said. Royal Caribbean told the CDC that its crew increased cleaning and disinfection procedures according to their outbreak prevention and response plan, collected stool specimens for testing, isolated ill passengers and crew members, and consulted with the Vessel Sanitation Program. The program remotely monitored the situation, the CDC said. The CDC said more work will be done to determine the cause of the outbreak. Often norovirus, a contagious stomach bug, is to blame for gastrointestinal illness outbreaks on cruise ships, the agency said. The recent illnesses follow several other cruise ship outbreaks in recent months. In February, nearly 80 passengers aboard a Holland America Line ship became sick. That same month, over 80 passengers and crew members on a Princess Cruises ship fell ill during a 16-night cruise. An outbreak on a Cunard cruise line luxury ship making a month-long international voyage also affected more than 240 passengers and crew members earlier this year.
