Massachusetts coronavirus cases rise 1,809, hospitalizations climbing

Massachusetts health officials on Sunday reported 1,809 new coronavirus cases and 20 more deaths from the disease as infections continue to surge in the state.

Sunday’s count of 1,809 cases comes after Saturday’s report of 2,200, which was the highest count since the spring. Many daily reports in the past two weeks have surpassed 1,000 cases — elevated counts that haven’t happened since the spring.

No, A “Glitch” in Michigan Election Software Didn’t Switch Trump Votes

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has dispelled a viral conspiracy about the state’s election system. Michigan’s official ballot tally was not impacted by a “glitch,” though human error did lead to a miscalculation in one county’s unofficial tally.

Atlanta Falcons Players Want More Georgia Voters – The New York Times

Falcons fullback Keith Smith wore a T-shirt that bore a quote from the late Representative John Lewis of Georgia during warmups before a September game.

Before the season started, players on the team’s three-year-old social justice committee searched for more impactful methods of grass-roots activism after team-wide conference calls and meetings with local leaders following George Floyd’s killing at the hands of Minneapolis police in May. The committee decided that one area where it could make a bigger impact on voter engagement was speaking directly with high school football players, whom they figured would share a connection over being athletes.

Sgt. Johnson

A fair bit of information about both soldiers can be found online, and while their bravery is beyond dispute, personal details about Sgt. Shemin are mostly accurate, while Sgt. Johnson’s are frequently distorted. As the genealogist who had the privilege of researching both of these Medal of Honor cases for the Army, I had the opportunity to seek out and steep myself in more than 1,300 pages of Sgt. Johnson’s paper trail, so I’d like to clarify some misconceptions.

  • His full name was William Henry Johnson, but Sgt. Johnson preferred to go by his middle name of Henry and only occasionally used his full name for formal purposes, such as when he married. This is why, for instance, newspaper reports of his death can be found under both the names of Henry Johnson and William Henry Johnson.

NYC’s Pandemic Ventilation Plan For Winter In Public Schools Involves Space Heaters, Air Purifiers, And Lots Of Layers – Gothamist

Following complaints from NYC public school teachers about uncomfortably chilly temperatures in some classrooms, the city Department of Education has put forth a plan intended to keep classrooms warm even when windows must remain open to slow the spread of COVID-19. The plan will include air purifiers, space heaters, and filters to ensure proper airflow, in addition to keeping windows open in rooms with poor ventilation.

The approach will vary depending on the needs of each school, according to a three-page memo drafted by the DOE and obtained by Gothamist. The plan states that 13,700 more MERV-13 filters will be ordered and installed in school HVAC systems to help keep the virus out of the air in classrooms. These filters — adding to an already existing supply — are ordered in accordance with guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recommends high-quality filters to combat COVID-19.

The remaining HVAC filters are scheduled to arrive between mid-November and mid-January, 2021. More filter deliveries will come weekly, which the DOE says “will allow all buildings to have at least one complete filter set installed.”

The city is also ordering another 20,000 HEPA-rated air purifier units for schools, adding to the 10,000 it already ordered for the start of in-person learning. Those new air purifiers will be prioritized to classrooms with “limited windows and no mechanical ventilation,” inoperable windows, and with no windows at all.
