NCAA in talks with Indianapolis to host all of March Madness

NCAA in talks with Indianapolis to host all of March Madness
record case numbers and hospitalizations and MAWR deaths sweeping the nation as the coronavirus pandemic shows no sign of slowing. Sunday, marking the 13th consecutive day the country reported more than 100,000 new cases nearly 70,000 patients hospitalized nationwide with the virus. We've gotta have help right now, and so I I just urge that the last thing we do is support our governors. They are the front lines right now. There is no national leadership on this issue. The Biden transition team does not have access to the Trump administration's covert 19 data and vaccine distribution plans, something Dr Anthony Fauci is concerned about. It's almost like passing a baton in a race you don't want to stop and then give it to somebody you want to just essentially keep going. That's what transition is, so it certainly would make things more smoothly if we could do that. Governors from both parties now forced to implement their own mitigation efforts, including shutting down businesses to stop the spread in Michigan, Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer, announcing new restrictions, closing indoor dining in bars and restaurants, urging people to work from home and moving high school and college students to virtual learning. White House coronavirus task force adviser Dr Scott Atlas criticizing these measures and suggesting residents to rise up in a tweet. I'm not gonna be bullied into not following reputable scientists and medical professionals. New Mexico Ordering a statewide order closing all non essential services for the next two weeks and in Oregon, in person, dining and gym's closed for at least two weeks to try to curb the number of cases. The status. Seeing it is so hard toe Ask all of you this again. Many of you cheered and rang bells and put up signs calling us heroes. And we're so grateful for that. Right now, we're asking you to be our heroes in Illinois, a stay at home advisory goes into effect today in Chicago, in North Dakota, the governor announcing new mitigation efforts, including finally implementing a mask mandate. At least two sheriff's already saying they won't enforce it. In a nutshell. We will not be enforcing mandates a mask mandates despite the state reporting more than 2200 new cases Saturday, its highest day since the pandemic began. Right now, the data demands ah higher level of mitigation efforts to reverse this dangerous trends to slow the spread of the virus and to avoid the need for any economic shutdowns. And in neighboring South Dakota, the state has the highest seven day moving average of any other state in the country at nearly 60%.
