December 10, 2020
"Why aren’t they at work, inside school buildings? If it’s not the science, it’s the politics. It’s a demonstration of control. Politicians get paid too. But they’ve allowed the teachers unions to dictate education policy to the detriment of the students and theirfamilies."

“An important thing to keep in mind is that parents who do not feel safe can opt out. Teachers who do not want to come back, because they have underlying health conditions, they’re over a certain age, they have someone in their home, there is a process by which they can also certify that and opt out. But for me, it’s the science and equity, going side by side, if our kids need to be back in school,”Lightfoot said.

December 9, 2020
The Cubs, who failed to make the playoffs this spring after a pandemic-shortened season, asked city officials to defer one $250,000 payment because fans were not allowed inside the ballpark as part of efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19. Those restrictions also meant that a slate of summer concerts at Wrigley Field had to be canceled, which meant few visitors to the Ricketts’-owned Hotel Zachary, restaurants and rooftops in Wrigleyville.View Comments

After Chicago’s 400,000 health care workers get two doses of a vaccine, residents and staff of Chicago’s 128 long-term care facilities will be next in line under the plan set by federal authorities. That prioritization will ensure that Black Chicagoans, who are at highest risk of contracting COVID-19 and suffering serious symptoms, are among the first to get the vaccine. In Chicago’s 78 skilled nursing facilities, 49% of residents are Black and 58% of staff is Black, Dr. Allison Arwady said.View Comments
