Michigan marks ‘record high’ COVID-19 hospitalizations among kids
Children aren’t immune to COVID-19. They can get sick, just like adults do. They can be hospitalized, the same as adults. And rarely, they can even die.
That’s the message doctors at several of Michigan’s children’s hospitals want people to hear as the state confronts yet another massive surge in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations, which reached 3,953 Monday, surpassing the state’s November/December spike.
“The state is at a record high for hospitalizations for pediatrics during the entire pandemic and our hospital reflects that,” said Dr. Rudolph Valentini, a pediatric nephrologist at Children’s Hospital of Michigan and group chief medical officer for the Detroit Medical Center.
Statewide, 49 children were hospitalized Monday with either confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19, according to state data.
With Michigan’s case rate of 515.8 per 100,000 people over the last week — the worst in the nation and four times higher than the rate

Charlyn Fargo Ware: It’s Never Too Late for Healthy Lifestyle Changes | Your Health
Here’s proof it’s never too late to start making some healthy lifestyle changes. They can make a difference later in life. New research finds that a diet of vegetables and other healthy foods, combined with a routine of regular physical activity, is key to middle-aged adults achieving optimal cardiovascular health later in life. The study was published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. The study analyzed data from 2,379 adult participants of the Framingham Heart Study, which began more than 70 years ago in Framingham, Massachusetts. Adults who met two recommendations during midlife had lower odds of metabolic syndrome (a cluster of disorders that include excess fat around the waist, insulin resistance and high blood pressure) and developing serious health conditions in their senior years. Those conditions included heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes. Researchers found 28 percent met recommendations of both physical activity and dietary guidelines. Another 47...

Ron Desantis: The Future of the GOP?
At the moment, DeSantis looks like our best bet in 2024. On the other hand, the media have plenty of time to shred him.
The combination of hysteria and hostility with which the media are treating Ron DeSantis ought to be instructive to anyone who imagined that the unprecedented animus flung at President Trump had much to do with his unique characteristics. Trump was unique in some ways, but the media’s reaction was the same as ever: Any successful conservative, and any prominent figure who says conservative things, must be treated as the most dire threat to the Republic. There will be no balanced discussion of DeSantis’s virtues and flaws in the media; instead, to the extent he looks like the future for conservatives and Republicans, he must be treated as Public Enemy
