“We had trouble early in the game keeping Trae Young in front of us, and that really led to all those lobs and to those easy baskets,” Bulls interim coach Chris Fleming said. “What worked well for us tonight was when Ayo came in, guarded him, put some length on him. … It’s less about our weaknesses.

The cancellations, which have numbered in the thousands nationwide since Friday, come as demand for holiday travel converges with the emergence of the omicron variant of the coronavirus.

“Right now, we know there are staffing challenges in many industries, like the airlines and retail,” Gates said. “This variant is so contagious. … How many educators can you have out of the building before we pivot to virtual is a question of not whether we’ll be open or closed, but what are the contingency plans?”
“I’m thrilled that we are able to welcome back our New Year’s Eve fireworks and hope to continue this tradition into the future,” Lightfoot said in the statement. “Importantly, the display can be viewed outdoors where the spread of COVID-19 is less likely, so our residents and visitors should feel comfortable while masking up and social distancing or even watching safely from home. I look forward to welcoming a happy new year.”
