Vaccinations for the 12 million people estimated to be in hospice care or who are homebound because of health issues have been “localized, scattered, and limited,” Bill Dombi, president of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice, tells Verywell. “You’re not likely going to have them stand in line for hours at a convention center waiting for their vaccine,” he says. Dombi says that vaccinating homebound patients may have been overlooked until now because it is not an easy problem to solve....

Ellison is Minnesota’s first Black attorney general, and the first Muslim elected to Congress. He left Congress in 2018 to become attorney general. He was a prominent booster for Vermont Sen. Bernier Sanders’ presidential bids. The announcement happened over Zoom, featuring a few of Ellison’s endorsers, such as Minnesota U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a former prosecutor who praised Ellison’s handling of the Chauvin trial. “He didn’t make it about himself and he didn’t make it about the lawyers....

After midnight, the Associated Press, CNN and Fox projected Biden as the winner. At about 12:45 a.m., Biden had 54.3 percent of the vote with 87 percent reported. His lead over Trump was 1,457,135 to 1,174,926, or 282,209 votes. Trump had considered the North Star State a key pickup opportunity and was keen to overturn the narrow 1.5 percent defeat to Hillary Clinton in 2016. On Friday, Trump held a rally in Rochester as he fought to become the first Republican presidential candidate the state has backed since Richard Nixon in 1972....

Walz, the Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota (U of M) stood together at a press briefing today and jointly launched the new widespread testing strategy that will test all symptomatic individuals, isolate confirmed cases and expand public health surveillance tools. “While Minnesota faces a challenge, we rise up—together,” Walz said. “I’m proud to partner with Minnesota’s innovative health care systems and leading research institutions to pioneer how states can begin to move forward amid Covid-19....

You’d think that, after watching so many communist regimes collapse, all of us would be better equipped to anticipate what will happen in a small Orwellian state. Especially in a country that chooses to build missiles and maintain one of the world’s largest armed forces, with 1.1 million men, while famine has taken hundreds of thousands of lives since 1995 and energy shortages abound. The strongest temptation is to see what is happening in North Korea as a replay of earlier events elsewhere....

Throughout their Game 5 loss, frustration built with home-plate umpire Lance Barksdale’s strike zone. You could see that in the dugout, hear it in the stands and and read it all over Twitter. With all the technology available to determine balls and strikes — and to know instantly — it was obvious that calls were missed, regularly, throughout the game. And not just against the Nationals, but they were the team trailing in the game and about to lose their third consecutive World Series contest at home, so every missed call produced a little extra angst....

It won’t return soon. This is France, which has a record of clinging to its own technology and missing the boat on the next wave. In 1991, France fell in love with the Bibop, a cheap, uniquely French mobile phone, and as a result was relatively slow to take up the modern cell phone. In 1983, France rolled out the Minitel, a gizmo that attached to the phone and allowed for online text searches, communication and purchases, but its domestic success became a serious drag on innovation....

That doesn’t make the missed shot any less hilarious. MORE: Nick Young likes ‘winning atmosphere’ of LA | NYT trolls Knicks | Cavs consulted LeBron before trade In the fourth quarter of Tuesday night’s game between the Suns and the Bucks in Milwaukee, Thomas tried for a pull-up jumper on Bayless. The Bucks guard had been tracking Thomas with his right hand the whole possession, and it looked as though Phoenix’s sparkplug thought he could draw a foul by pulling through with a hand extended over him....

Mary Catherine Trollinger posted a copy of Pastor Barry Baker’s letter on Facebook. The letter is on stationery belonging to Gracewood Baptist Church in Southaven. “It’s been about a year now since you left your church family to live an unbiblical lifestyle with Olivia Jennings,” Baker wrote. “At the outset I kindly, but firmly, reminded both of you that a homosexual relationship is forbidden in Scriptures and against God’s original design....

Dr. Thomas Dobbs, Mississippi State Health Officer, said that officials had identified a cluster of coronavirus cases and outbreaks linked to University of Mississippi fraternity parties, and that Oxford is in either the beginning or middle of a significant outbreak. “What we’ve identified so far is that it seems to be related to community transmission and social gatherings, and we have linked quite a few patients back to fraternity rush parties that are happening in the summer,” he said during Governor Tate Reeves’s coronavirus press conference....

Lovett did not mention new Bulldogs coach Mike Leach or Leach’s apology Thursday for tweeting a meme showing a woman knitting a noose for her annoying husband while under coronavirus quarantine. The redshirt sophomore did, however, retweet video of commentary by FS1’s Shannon Sharpe on Leach during Friday’s “Undisputed,” in which Sharpe chastised Leach. Lovett also tweeted “wtf” after Leach posted the meme on Wednesday. MORE: Prescott, Minshew spoke highly of Leach at Super Bowl...

The St. Louis-Dispatch on Wednesday reported that it found the “vulnerability in a web application that allowed the public to search teacher certifications and credentials.” The newspaper notified the state’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education of the issue before publishing the story, and the affected pages were removed from the website. “Based on state pay records and other data, more than 100,000 Social Security numbers were vulnerable,” the St....

The researchers have devised a decision map to help determine the best course of action, describing their method as a “preventative strike” as opposed to a “last-minute deflection.” The planet is currently surrounded by thousands of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). These are comets and asteroids with orbits that cross Earth’s, so have the potential to collide with us. “Surveys that search for these objects discover typically two to three new NEOs every night,” Detlef Koschny, European Space Agency (ESA) Project Scientist, told Newsweek....

Asked during a Wednesday event in Pikeville, Kentucky, if Biden’s behavior is impeachable, McConnell said, “There isn’t going to be an impeachment.” He added, “The president is not going to be removed from office. There’s a Democratic House, a narrowly Democratic Senate. That’s just not going to happen.” McConnell’s comments come after three Republican senators publicly called for Biden’s removal from office over the hasty evacuations that wrapped up in Afghanistan earlier this week....

The Holsmans, who are white, began talking to some of their white friends. “Nobody lives there,” cautioned one. A lawyer they consulted was more direct. “They’re all black. And they’re nouveau riche!” But the Holsmans loved the place, and when they started knocking on the doors in the neighborhood to ask questions, they felt even better. “There was such a good feeling,” says Julie Holsman, 54. “It immediately felt like home....
