(May 6, 2021 8:35 PM) Henry Ford Health System senior leaders held a press event today to emphasize that vaccination was key to driving down hospitalizations, controlling the spread of the COVID-19 virus and emerging variants and “getting back to normal.” Hospitalizations across the health system have fallen 42% in the past two weeks and the positivity rate for infection was 8.9%, a significant drop from 13.3% in that same period. On April 16, the positivity rate was 20%. While those trends provided a hopeful sign, senior leaders said getting more people vaccinated was critical to slowing the transmission of the virus and its more contagious variants. Henry Ford has administered just under 300,000 doses of vaccine since Dec. 17, and more than 180,000 people are fully vaccinated. Statewide, 40% of Michigan’s 8 million residents are fully vaccinated. “We continue to be very hopeful that we are getting over our third surge and hopefully will have it behind us very, very soon,” Adnan Munkarah, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer said during a briefing with reporters. “The reality is, although we have a good vaccination rate and many people have received their first doses, that rate is not…

(May 6, 2021 3:54 PM) The addition of a girls division to the Individual Wrestling Tournament series and approval of a common start date for all Fall sports highlighted actions taken by the Representative Council of the Michigan High School Athletic Association during its annual Spring Meeting on May 3. The Spring Meeting of the 19-member legislative body of the Association’s more than 1,500 member schools is generally the busiest of its sessions each year. The Council considered 19 committee proposals and dealt with a variety of eligibility rules, postseason tournaments, and operational issues. Beginning with the 2021-22 school year, a championship division for female competitors who participate on MHSAA member school teams will be added to the Individual Wrestling Tournament series. There will be 14 champions awarded, based on weight classes established by the National Federation of State High School Associations. Qualifiers will be determined via a sectional format, and girls will continue to compete on boys teams during regular-season and team tournament competition; girls also may choose to compete in the boys individual tournament instead of the girls bracket. A total of 401 girls competed in wrestling for MHSAA member schools during the 2019-20 school year, up from…
