(November 18, 2020 3:34 PM) The Representative Council of the Michigan High School Athletic Association approved today an adjusted schedule to restart and conclude Fall Tournaments in football, girls volleyball and girls swimming & diving, and also to resume Winter sports after the three-week “pause” in activity ordered by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) scheduled to end Dec. 9. The MDHHS announced Nov. 15 a three-week pause to various activities including school sports, effective Nov. 18, in hopes of halting the state’s rising infections due to COVID-19. The volleyball and swimming & diving tournaments have one week remaining, with MHSAA Finals for both previously scheduled for Nov. 21. The 11 and 8-Player Football Playoffs also are nearing their conclusions, with the 8-player postseason two games from completion and 11-player down to its final three rounds.

States Turn Down Hundreds of Thousands of COVID-19 Vaccine
For quite some time now, there has been debate as to which vaccine is really appropriate and efficient. Unfortunately, many vaccines have been approved, although their strengths are still quite questionable. As it stands, a lot of people continue getting affected by COVID-19. The globe has continued to suffer because of COVID-19 and in the United States, vaccines are being turned down. The federal government has been under fire following series of poor vaccine consumption. It is quite worrying that for a large state like the USA, demand for COVID-19 vaccines has grossly dropped. In specific, a significant two million of demand has fallen. Uptake has become so low in a nation that should be on the top in terms of vaccine demand. The federal government is now concerned with the rate at which the vaccine continues to lose grip. States like Wisconsin have been on the radar when it comes to the issues of COVID-19 uptake. Recently, officials and State fathers from Wisconsin requested 8% of 162,680 vaccine doses that the Federal government had reserved for them. It is not only Wisconsin, but Iowa was also on the request radar following their 29% request of COVID-19 vaccines. Illinois was…
Back to Reality – One Step at a Time
Is it possible to get back to reality after the covid pandemic? It is a million-dollar question, but all of us are taking all efforts to get back to normalcy and live the life that we once rejoiced. With massive vaccinations and strengthening the health care infrastructure, we hope to get back to reality, perhaps one step at a time. But the acts of refraining from handshakes and washing the hands frequently will stay with us forever, as they are lessons for a generation and that the pandemic taught us these lessons in a hard way. Getting Back To Reality Step By Step We are currently at the beginning of the end of the pandemic and waiting eagerly for a new start. Until we attain the stage called herd immunity and at least 75% of the population being vaccinated, we will not be traveling and partying like before. As we move towards this new beginning, these are the things that we can expect to open and happen shortly. Accepting The New Normal Several restrictions have been imposed on people when the pandemic first made its ugly presence in our world. People found it very difficult to cope up with them…
