Quarantine Hotel Worker in NSW Tests Positive for COVID-19
A person who works in two NSW COVID-19 quarantine hotels with overseas travellers and has already had their first-dose of the Pfizer vaccine, has come down with the virus. The positive result was recorded after 8 p.m. on Saturday, meaning the state’s virus-free run will end at 56 days. NSW Health said in a statement the source of the Sydney worker’s infection remains unclear and testing of their close contacts is underway. There were no locally-acquired COVID-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8 p.m. on Saturday and three cases in travellers in hotel quarantine. Health Minister Brad Hazzard will address the media later on Sunday. Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday told reporters the hotel quarantine worker had received their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. “There are no risk-free responses when you deal with COVID-19, it is unrealistic and naive to think so … there are always vulnerabilities,” …

Sophie Sherry/Sun-TimesThe shooting was one of the most violent, in terms of number of people hurt, in recent Chicago memory. Last July, 15 people were shot outside a Gresham funeral home, but none of the victims died.
In 2013, a mass shooting wounded 13 people, including a 3-year-old boy, in Cornell Park near 51st and Wood in Back of the Yards.
Last December, six people were hurt after gunfire broke out at an overnight party in a South Side salon in the Burnside neighborhood.
So far this year, officers have responded to 393 shooting incidents across the city through March 7, according to police statistics. That’s a 31% increase over the same period last year, which saw 301 shooting incidents.

Cuomo Should ‘Stick to His Guns’: Alan Dershowitz
Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said on Saturday that since “accusations don’t constitute guilt” in the United States, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo should not prematurely resign in response to the sexual harassment allegations against him. “Accusations don’t constitute guilt,” Dershowitz told Newsmax host Carl Higbie. “I wrote a book about it called ‘Guilt by Accusation,’ so I think that Gov. Cuomo should stick to his guns. Let there be a full investigation.” “And if nothing more comes out, these sexual allegations are not enough to deprive him and deprive the millions of voters who voted for him of his governorship,” Dershowitz added. “I take the same position whether a person is a Democrat or Republican, whether I voted for him or against him. The law has to be the same. The shoe on the other foot has to fit.” Dershowitz said of the media reports, “Those are not …
