One key metric: declining hospitalizations. Statewide, the number of people hospitalized each day with COVID-19 has dropped in the past month from nearly 2,000 during a brief third surge to less than 1,000. To put that in context, last fall, the figure peaked at 6,000, and the fear then was that hospitals could become overwhelmed.
Barbara Klipp, of the Midwest Sustainability Project, described the greenway as a scenic sanctuary for creeks, sensitive wetlands, and rare plants and animals. The corridor runs near rookeries for Great Blue Herons, egrets, and even an occasional bald eagle. It would also link communities including Long Grove, Hawthorn Woods, Mundelein and Grayslake, whose mayors support the idea.
In some cases, people might be afraid to get used to things being good again because they fear a return to quarantine, Fisher said. He pointed out the times during the pandemic when restrictions were loosened, only to have positivity rates soar, followed by more constraints. Businesses have reopened and then closed.

I’ve told him (more than once) that I find “gender confused” a slur against people who understand they are more comfortable expressing themselves as a gender other than their birth-assigned-gender, and he responded (loudly and angrily), “So you’re saying I’m not entitled to my opinion?”
Keuchel got what had the makings of an inning-ending double play in the sixth when Randal Grichuk hit a grounder to third with a runner on first and one out. But instead of throwing to second, Yoán Moncada threw to first. The next batter, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., drove in a run with a single to make it 3-2.

Matt Schembechler, 62, and former Wolverines players Daniel Kwiatkowski and Gilvanni Johnson told similar stories about how Dr. Robert E. Anderson, who died in 2008, molested and digitally penetrated them during physical exams decades ago. They also talked about how Bo Schembechler, a Michigan icon whose statue stands outside a university building that bears his name, refused to protect them and allowed Anderson to continue abusing players and other patients for years.
