Aggressive statin treatment won’t affect immune system
TODAY

EAR DR. ROACH: I am a 69-year-old male in good health. In 2017, I experienced a pulmonary embolism in my left lung. Following that episode, my cardiologist put me on a statin regimen of 40 mg Lipitor. This was to get my LDL numbers down to 60 or lower in order Roach to counteract a buildup of plaque in arteries after an angiogram revealed less than 50% buildup in two areas of my heart. A year later, my LDL numbers were around 100, and my cardiologist doubled the Lipitor dose to 80 mg, still trying to reach the magic number of 60. I have been taking this dose for over a year now with a visit to my cardiologist scheduled soon. Can lowering LDL numbers dramatically like this affect my immune system and therefore have negative effects if I were to contract a serious infection, such as the new coronavirus? — C.F. ANSWER: The data are abundant that, in people with known blockages of the arteries in their heart, statin drugs reduce heart attack and stroke risk. I was not able to find data about the risk of viral diseases specifically, but a study from 2015 did demonstrate a lower bacterial infection rate in statin users compared with nonusers. An increase in deaths from causes other than heart disease has not been found in statin users. However, there are side effects to be concerned about. Statins increase the risk of diabetes in those predisposed to it, and diabetes, especially if poorly controlled, has a negative effect on the immune system and the body’s ability to fight off infection. DEAR DR. ROACH: A year ago, I purchased a distilling machine to make my own distilled water to save money. I add the necessary minerals to the finished product. What is your opinion of drinking distilled water versus bottled water? Also, would alkaline water be better than distilled? — D.H. ANSWER: I recommend tap water for drinking, as the quality of tap water in the vast majority of North America is outstanding, and the cost in money and to the environment is much, much smaller than bottled or even homemade distilled. Minerals may make the water taste better but are not necessary for health. Food should be your source for trace minerals. I get letters from people who want to drink the purest water, but it is my opinion that the medical benefit from this is at best minuscule. There are no benefits from alkaline water. Your body maintains perfect pH balance through robust systems in the kidney and lungs. Save your money and the planet. DEAR DR. ROACH: My beautiful hair is falling out in handfuls ever since my doctor increased my dose of lisinopril. The top of my head is almost all bald. Could this be the cause? — L.M. ANSWER: There have been reports of hair loss with ACE inhibitor drugs such as lisinopril and captopril. In one case report, the person’s hair grew back within four weeks of switching to a different class, the angiotensin receptor blockers. Less than 1% of people report hair loss with lisinopril, but if the timing was as suggestive as you say, it would be worth asking your doctor about a trial on a new medicine.

COLUMNIST I AMY DICKINSON
Gay servicemember worries about family bond
D
EAR AMY: I came out as gay to my parents when I was 28. I’m living on my own, after serving in the military. My parents (who have always been deeply conservative) did not accept my sexuality well, calling me “disgusting” and “sinful.” In fact, they froze me out for two years while I was stationed overseas, unwilling to talk or discuss or to even agree to disagree with me, despite my efforts to reach out to them. I’ve recently finished my time in the military and am back in the U.S. My parents have contacted me. I’ve spoken with them and we’ve reached a sort of middle ground, but they still don’t seem comfortable talking to me, due to the fact that I am gay. It took a long time, but I have tried to forgive them for the way they have treated me, and now that there is contact, I admit I don’t feel the desire to keep a close relationship with them in my life. I’m looking at marriage in the next year, and I haven’t told them about it because I’m afraid how they’ll react. Is it OK to keep my distance, forgive, and walk away, or do I owe it to the familial bonds to try and keep the relationship going? — Trying to do Right
Dear Trying: Familial bonds stretch in two directions. Until your folks figure out how to accept, relate, Dickinson and apologize to you — and learn to love you exactly as you are — a natural consequence of their behavior would be for you to keep your distance. Keeping your distance and walking away from a relationship are radically different propositions, however. The fact that you say you are afraid of their reaction to your choice to marry is evidence that you are still somewhat tied to them. During this time of distancing, I hope you are able to conquer this fear. It is a vestige of their control over you. When you feel free to live your own life — openly, joyfully, and authentically — you will be truly liberated. Forgiveness and acceptance (of them and their limitations) will flow from that. Any ongoing relationship with your folks will be contingent on their own growth. DEAR AMY: I recently introduced my kids (ages 5, 7, 9, and 12) to backyard kickball. One afternoon, my 7-yearold accidentally kicked the
ball over our neighbor’s fence. My kids went over to get the ball and our middleage neighbor stood there in his ratty bathrobe and sprayed my children with his hose! My 5-year-old came into the house crying — and soaked. When I asked the kids what had happened, they explained how he would not give them their ball back, so I went over to his house and politely asked for it. He sprayed me in the face with the hose and said my kids are NOT allowed to play kickball anywhere near his yard and then ever so rudely gave me the ball back. In order not to anger him again, I told my kids to kick the ball the other way, but the neighbor does not appreciate that either. Now, he will stand by the fence and spray my kids! I am worried because we have a rather nice relationship with my other neighbors, but I do not want to tell my kids they can’t play kickball because our crabby neighbor does not want the kickball in his grass. Any suggestions? — Soaked Dear Soaked: You describe your neighbor as “crabby,” which seems like an extremely generous description. To me, he sounds volatile and potentially vi-
olent. Your kids should do everything possible to steer clear. I suggest you consider installing a much higher and solid fence between your two yards. Any continued harassment might be a matter for the police to handle. Spraying your children with a hose while they are playing outside in their own yard would expose him to an assault charge. DEAR AMY: Responding to others who are talking about taking up new hobbies during our times of sheltering-in-place, I have revived my interest in music. It all started when I found my old clarinet in the closet. I haven’t played since high school! — Second Chair Dear Second Chair: I can hear it now: A Zoom orchestra! When I was in high school, our big number was “The Theme from Hawaii Five-O.” I know I’ve got some sheet music and my old bassoon around here, somewhere.

Discuss your intentions openly and listen to suggestions. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Sit tight if that’s what’s required. Being too earnest will give someone else the upper hand.

Canada is giving its essential workers a pay raise they ‘deserve’ Canada is hiking wages for essential workers across the country, in a blunt admission that many who are now risking their health to work during the pandemic are in some cases making the least. “If you are risking your health to keep this country moving and you’re making minimum wage, you deserve a raise,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced this week, making good on a promise to increase salaries. Trudeau’s government hammered out an agreement with provinces and territories to spend more than $3 billion and raise wages for essential workers making less than about $1,800 a month.
EU admits it let China censor an op-ed by the bloc’s ambassadors The European Union has acknowledged it allowed the Chinese government to censor an opinion piece published in the country, removing a reference to the origin of the coronavirus outbreak. The piece was jointly authored by the EU’s ambassador Nicolas Chapuis along with the ambassadors to China for the EU’s 27 member states to mark 45 years of EU-China diplomatic relations. In the original piece published on the EU delegation’s website, the ambassadors wrote that “the outbreak of the coronavirus in China, and its subsequent spread to the rest of the world over the past three months” had side-tracked pre-existing diplomatic plans. But in the version that appears on the website of China Daily, a state-owned newspaper, the reference to the origin of coronavirus in China and its spread is removed. While the EU Delegation to China said it “strongly regrets” the change, it also admitted that it ultimately agreed for the censored piece to be published because it still contained “key messages on a number of our priority areas.”
US blocks UN resolution on global coronavirus ceasefire The United States blocked agreement Friday on a UN Security Council resolution that called for a global ceasefire aimed at collectively addressing the coronavirus pandemic ravaging the globe, after China pushed for the resolution to mention the World Health Organization. The U.S. rejected any reference to the WHO in the text of the resolution, and also turned down an alternative that didn’t explicitly name the organization — and instead cited the UN’s “specialized health agencies,” two diplomatic sources told CNN. UN diplomats were surprised by the U.S. move to block the vote Friday. The effort they had been working on for more than six weeks came to a screeching halt, and they fear it will not be revived. “This discussion has been taken hostage by issues that do not have to do with the real issues at stake. Instead it has been transformed into a fight between the U.S. and China,” one diplomat on the UN Security Council told CNN. “We are back to square one.” — From wire reports
WORLD & NATION US Army pushing to develop wearable sensors to detect COVID-19 symptoms By Barbara Starr CNN Pentagon Correspondent
The U.S. Army is asking technology companies to develop wearable sensors to detect early symptoms of coronavirus. This week they invited initial proposals for a $25 million contract to develop a device that uses existing technology as much as possible. “There is a dire and urgent need for development of rapid, accurate wearable diagnostics to identify and isolate pre-symptomatic COVID-19 cases and track/prevent the spread of the virus,” the Army said in an initial solicitation that was issued through a medical consortium. Whereever the sensor is worn on the body, possibly on the wrist like a watch or on a shirt or belt, the aim is it will provide indicators of a fever, respiratory difficulties, “molecular biomarkers” of exposure to the virus and even the presence of antibodies against it. If symptoms are detected then the service member can be fully tested, isolated and receive medical attention if necessary. It’s all part of a broader military effort to contribute to efforts to battle the virus on everything from vaccine research to sewing face coverings. Many of the initiatives are similar to what is happening in civilian society,

The military’s integrated Visual Augmentation System field goggles are being adapted to detect body temperatures amid the coronavirus pandemic. but there are efforts to adapt emerging battlefield technology to take on the pandemic. An Army team based at Fort Benning, Georgia, in charge of ensuring advanced warfighting capabilities for soldiers in close combat has adapted goggles used in battle to take the temperature of 300 troops in 25 minutes. The concept is important for high traffic areas such as public transportation, airports and buildings — as well as for the safe movement of large num-
bers of military personnel, especially new recruits who may need to be screened and tested multiple times. The group was tested as the Army Infantry School was getting ready for additional training but needed a temperature check as an initial screening measure. The screeners were provided with a prototype of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), goggles designed for soldiers to keep their eyes on a target while receiving information about

Man who recorded Ahmaud Arbery shooting is receiving threats, attorney says The man who recorded the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia is receiving threats after authorities announced that he’s also being investigated following the killing, his attorney said. The man, William “Roddie” Bryan, shared the 36-second video with police and was cooperating with investigators, his attorney Kevin Gough said in a statement Friday. “It was Mr. Bryan who videotaped the incident in question, disclosed the existence of the videotape, and invited a responding Glynn County Police Officer to sit with him in his truck where they watched the video together,” Gough said. The video appears to show the confrontation between Arbery and two men before the shooting that left Arbery dead in Brunswick, Georgia. The men — father and son Gregory McMichael, 64, and Travis McMichael, 34 — were arrested Thursday and face charges of murder and aggravated assault in Arbery’s Feb. 23 killing, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The footage was a “very important piece of evidence,” GBI Director Vic Reynolds said Friday. Asked whether there will be additional arrests, Reynolds told reporters the investigation is still active. “We investigate everybody involved in the case, including the individual who shot the video,” he said. The comments by authorities have put Bryan’s life in danger, along with his family, friends and neighbors, his

One of the project managers Tom Bowman says he realized the digital thermal sensors could quickly be modified to detect body temperatures. Four days later, Microsoft and the Army “loaded in a new software application,” which adapted the goggles to read body temperatures at a safe distance with little to no contact.

Musicians, artists pay tribute to rock ‘n’ roll legend Little Richard Musicians, actors and artists across a range of genres are paying tribute to Little Richard. The self-proclaimed architect of rock ‘n’ roll died on Saturday from a cause related to bone cancer, Dick Alen, his former agent, told CNN. He was 87. Little Hits like Richard “Tutti Frutti” and “Long Tall Sally,” combined with a pounding piano, pompadour hairdo, makeup and dazzling stage antics turned Little Richard into an American music legend and paved the way for other greats, including Mick Jagger and Prince. Here’s what other artists said about the late, great rock ‘n’ roller: Jagger, the Rolling Stones frontman, said Little Richard helped teach him how to perform his music. Jagger toured with Little Richard in 1963. “I’m so saddened to hear about the passing of Little Richard, he was the biggest inspiration of my early teens and his music still has the same raw electric energy when you play it now as it did when it first shot through the music scene in the mid 50’s,” he said on Twitter. “When we were on tour with him I would watch his moves every night and learn from him how to entertain and involve the audience and he was always so generous with advice to me.” Singer Billy Idol, himself a pioneer of punk rock, shared a video of Little Richard. “RIP #LittleRichard the architect of rock n roll...,” he tweeted. Actress Viola Davis called Little Richard the innovator. “The Originator. The innovator. The musician, performer who influenced generations of artists....has left,” Davis tweeted. “You were AWESOME #LittleRichard!!! Your talent will reverberate forever. Well done sir. Rest well.” Chance the Rapper reflected on Little Richard’s impact. “A couple weeks ago I randomly decided to read up on the legendary Little Richard on wiki,” he wrote on Twitter. “I learned then about how he developed The Beatles and saved The Rolling Stones.” Bette Midler noted the singer’s influence on American musicians. “Little Richard was a genius, pure and simple,” Midler tweeted. “He paved the way for (code for he was ripped off by) so many artists. Watch his YouTube performances to see what I mean. I met him on ‘Down and Out in Beverly Hills,’ in which he was hilarious. What a legacy. God bless you, Richard.” Singer-songwriter Tevin Campbell shared a personal story. “I met Little Richard when I was 13 or 14 at Aunt Kizzy’s in Marina Del Ray,” Campbell wrote on Twitter. “The advice he gave me is invaluable. He was such a class act and I will never forget the time I sat at his table and he talked to me like I was his little bro. RIP Little Richard.” — From wire reports
Rare blue dragons washing up on Padre Island National Seashore By Leah Asmelash CNN
Here be dragons — literally. Visitors to the Padre Island National Seashore in Texas are discovering blue dragons during their trips, and though it may not be the flying, fire-breathing creatures their name may suggest, it’s still “a rare find,” the park says. Hunter Lane, a 7-year-old from Mesa, Arizona, found four dragons within a few minutes on May 2 while vacationing with his parents. His father, Trey Lane, told CNN he’s
MUST READ been vacationing at the seashore for 30 years, and he’s never seen one. “Hunter loves sea creatures and thought he had found a blue button jellyfish,” Trey said. “After they picked it up in a beach toy he proclaimed to me that he had discovered a new species!” Blue dragons, or glaucus atlanticus, are tiny sea slugs — typically only 3 cm big, or a little over an inch. They can be found in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, according to the conservation non-
profit Oceana. But even though the creatures aren’t nearly as large as dragons, they pack a mean punch. Blue dragons eat Portuguese man o’ wars, which look like large jellyfishes, and store stinging cells from their prey to use for the future, according to Oceana. So, when humans touch these little slugs, it can release the stinging cells and create a sting that can hurt more than a man o’ war’s. “So, if you see a dragon in the park, be amazed as they are a rare find, but also keep your distance!” warns the national seashore.

Dacula man hurt in 6-vehicle accident on I-85 in March dies from his injuries By Curt Yeomans
curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com
Gwinnett County police announced on Friday that a Dacula man who was involved in a six-vehicle accident on Interstate 85 in late March has died. Officials at the Gwinnett Medical Examiners Office told police that Norman Daugherty died from injuries he sustained in the March 25 accident. The accident happened near Beaver Ruin Road and began when one car hit a ladder that had fallen into the roadway. That car swerved into the path of other vehicles, causing a chain reaction of vehicles rear-ending the cars in front of them.

State opening COVID-19 testing to all Georgians By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@ gwinnettdailypost.com
Any Georgian can now get tested for COVID-19, regardless of whether they have symptoms of the disease, Gov. Brian Kemp announced Thursday. Kemp said the state has been ramping up its testing capacity to the point that there is now more testing supplies than demand for tests. Georgia health officials had initially reserved testing for select individuals, such as the elderly, first responders and long term care facility workers. That was later expanded to include anyone who thought they had symptoms of the novel coronavirus. Now, it has been expanded to the rest of Georgia’s population. “As we continue to expand testing and screening for COVID-19, we must also focus on lab capacity to process the testing specimens,” Kemp said. “Right now, we have more than 60 testing sites with more supply than demand. In accordance with
new CDC guidance, the Department of Public Health and district offices are now encouraging all Georgians — even if they are not experiencing symptoms — to schedule an appointment with their healthcare provider, local health department, or get a screening through the AU Health ExpressCare app. “Dr. Toomey contacted local health directors today to ensure they are aware of this guidance. Let’s build on this momentum in the days and weeks to come.” Although testing is increasing and a statewide shelterin-place order has expired, health officials continue to encourage Georgians to keep following U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-encouraged guidelines, such as wearing masks in public and practicing social distancing. But increasing testing capacity has been a major focus for state officials. Georgia Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey said health officials across the state have done 110,000 tests in less than two weeks, beat-
ing a challenge she issued to get 100,000 tests done in a two-week period. As of noon Saturday, there have been 235,324 COVID-19 tests administered in Georgia, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health. “We needed to offer testing more broadly and that’s why we’ve opened up the criteria, as the governor said, that anyone who wants to get a test, regardless of their symptoms, can be tests so we’ll continue to prioritize first responders and others at high risk, such as health care workers, but we wanted to ensure that everyone who wants a test can get access to free testing through one of our sites.” Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency Director Homer Bryson said the availability of test swabs and testing kits has been a critical part of how much testing the state has been able to do. “That’s been a challenge for our state and the nation as a whole,” Bryson said. “Through Dr. Toomey’s work in Public Health, we’ve partnered and put into place contracts
with private labs to increase capacity there, and I’m happy to say that, in conversations with FEMA, the CDC and the White House in the last several days, we have a commitment from the federal government to supply Georgia with 210,000 test swabs during the month of May. They’ll be coming into the state in weekly allocations, so I think our ability to ramp up testing is only going to increase over the next several weeks.” Kemp said there are about 66 testing sites around the state now where Georgians can go to be tested for the disease. The governor also said the state is working on increasing lab capacity so labs that have been working on processing the tests do not become overwhelmed. In addition to private labs, Augusta University has been helping with test processing. “Our efficiencies at the labs, expanding labs, we’re looking at a lot of different options,” Kemp said. “We’ve had a whole team working on that over the last two or three days to really solve that problem.”
GROCERY From A1 within an hour. Sometimes we’ll add additional slots. I would say by 2 p.m., it was full (on Monday).” This was the eighth pop-up grocery that Goodr, the Hawks and State Farm have staged around metro Atlanta during the COVID-19 economic downturn. The weekly groceries have been staged in different communities around the area, with one more scheduled to take place in DeKalb County this coming week. Each family got three beverages; their choice of regular or almond milk; eggs; cheese; bacon or turkey sausage; lunch meat; turkey or pork hot dogs; their choice of two meats (options included shrimp, salmon, ground beef, ground turkey, ribs and chicken); hot dog buns; wheat bread; non-perishable items; and produce. “This is like a slight relief,” Crowe said. “They have groceries for the week and it didn’t cost them anything so my hope is that it’s like a slight relief. There’s so many things going on that causes a lot of stress, so I hope this gives people a little bit of joy.” Goodr has been around since 2017 but it began partnering with the Hawks in 2019 on events to provide food to struggling families. When the pandemic starting to take a toll on businesses who had to furlough employees earlier this year, Crowe said she reached out to the Hawks about doing the drive thru pop-up grocery events. Hawks Vice-President of Corporate Social Responsibility Andrea Carter said the basketball team wanted to help out because of needs it was hearing existed in the community. “Once everything broke with COVID, we started from our community partners about a real need around food insecurity and so we thought what can we do to make a difference so we connected with Goodr to say we want to host pop-up grocery stores in communities where we’ve built (basket-

State Farm then joined in to help with the effort. “The past few weeks of working with the Atlanta Hawks and Goodr to help our neighbors across metro Atlanta during these unprecedented times has been inspiring,” State Farm Public Affairs Specialist Myles C. Mitchom said. “These weekly efforts have been a manifestation of our mission of helping people recover from the unexpected and we are both thankful and proud to do part.” But Friday’s grocery event, while not the first one done during the downturn, was the first in a different way. It marked the first time that Goodr, which Crowe established in 2017 to stage pop-up groceries in struggling communities, has done an event in Gwinnett County. Crowe said people should not assume that food insecurity issues are limited
to large cities, such as Atlanta, or that suburbs don’t have those issues. “I think that’s crazy,” Crowe said. “You have 20% of America that’s unemployed right now, so the need is everywhere and the face of hunger has drastically changed. People who have never been hungry in their lives are experiencing hunger now so I think it matters if it’s the suburbs. None of that matters now.” Gwinnett County Department of Community Services Deputy Director Lindsey Jorstad said Lucky Shoals Park was chosen for the event partially because there was an existing partnership with the Hawks, which renovated the park’s outdoor basketball court and established a Good Neighbor club at the park last year. And also because it had enough space to accommodate the pop-up set up and the volume of cars that came through to pick up groceries. “And the area that we’re in has such great need, especially during the COVID-19 (pandemic),” Jorstad said.
RETURN From A1 their classrooms, but under the new plan, principals will now be tasked with working with their faculty and staff to arrange opportunities for them to come back to the school to do so. They will also have to arrange times with those employees to complete other necessary tasks. “The adjustments, which take effect immediately, balance the district’s need to successfully close out the school year with the reality that many employees face personal or family situations that make it very difficult for them to return to the work site, and the amount of time individual employees may need to spend at school to complete end-of-year tasks could vary widely,” Roach said. As for central office employees, anyone who holds a director-level position, and their administrative assistants, returned to work on Wednesday, but officials said division leaders will work with their staff on scheduling so they can limit the number of people who are in a work lo-
TEST From A1 “As of about (3 p.m.), we had over 900 people already come through, so we called our call center and said to send 150 more people over if they could today because I know they’ve gotten a lot of calls today and have been booking up since the governor’s announcement (Thursday that all Georgians can now get tested),” Arona said. Friday’s testing event was the result of a partnership between the health department, Gwinnett County government, the Center for Pan Asian Community Services and Medical Reserve Corps. People who came to the Infinite Energy Center to be tested had to remain in their vehicles the entire time. They lined up and entered the parking deck, where health officials confirmed their appointment before allowing them to proceed to the actual testing area, where medical officials collected nasal swab samples that will be sent to a lab for testing. The Center for Pan Asian Community Services, also known as CPACS, provided translators to help with residents who speak Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese. CPACS’ Cosmo Health Center also provided two clinical nurses to help collect nasal swab samples. “(It’s important) to reach out to our community, which we have many different cultures in our community,” CPACS assistant office manager Lily Baik said. “We do our best to educate them as well in their own language.” There are no other large scale testing events currently scheduled to take place in Gwinnett, but residents could soon see the testing number in the county beginning to rise dramatically now that state officials are instructing local health departments to test anyone who wants to be tested. Georgia has gradually expanded the available of testing, starting with first responders,
cation at any given time. That includes working to address any situations unique to individual employees. The division leaders will also work with other staff members who work at the central office. Those employees are expected to return to work starting next week. Gwinnett County Public Schools officials said they will provide additional updates to employees about the transition back to work sites. “During this uncertain time, Gwinnett teachers and support staff have worked tirelessly to serve students and support teaching and learning and the operations of Gwinnett County Public Schools,” Roach said. “Our people are our greatest resource and we must take care of them while also conducting the business of the school district. “We know that our employees are eager to close out the school year strong for our students. We believe this adjusted returnto-work sites plan provides the flexibility that will allow this to happen while also addressing employees’ concerns about the health and welfare of themselves and their families.” health care workers, longterm care workers and the elderly, and then opening it up to anyone who felt they had symptoms of COVID-19. On Thursday, Kemp announced it was now being opened up to the rest of Georgia’s residents. Arona said it didn’t take long for calls testing began to flood in. “I think his press conference was at (3:30 p.m. Thursday) and by 9 a.m. (Friday), our phone system was jammed,” she said. Although there are no restrictions on who can get a test in Georgia, the state’s residents still have to call their local health department to schedule an appointment to get tested. Arona warned residents to not be discouraged if they call the health department’s testing appointment hotline, 770-5135631, and can’t get through on their first call. There are many people calling in, and Arona urged residents to be patient and to keep trying. The Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale Health Departments has also offered to test employees at businesses that are starting to re-open. One step that is being looked at to increase testing is the offering of more testing appointment slots at daily testing locations in Lawrenceville and Covington. But, Arona said another option that is being looked at in Gwinnett is the possibility of adding a second daily testing location somewhere in the Norcross area. “We have been consistently getting enough test kits to where I think if we start doing more tests every day at our other locations, perhaps adding another one in Gwinnett County somewhere, we’ll exceed the numbers we’re doing at these large events,” Arona said. “We’re looking at places (for a second daily test site in Gwinnett). “We’re aware that there are places in the county where transportation is more difficult for people and so we’re looking at that to make it easier on them by providing a test center closer to where they are.”

Johnson calls for protection of Georgia’s immigration detainees from COVID-19
U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson sent a letter to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deputy Director Matthew T. Albence this past week to ask what steps are being taken to protect immigration detainees housed at the Stewart Detention Center from the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic. The center is located in southwest Georgia, which was an early COVID-19 hotspot in the state, with Johnson noting Dougherty County, the epicenter of the southwest Georgia hotspot, is about an hour away from the center. Johnson is asking that protections be put in place to prevent the spread of the disease among the detainees held at the center. “More than 40 detained immigrants have been brought into the facility each day this past week,” Johnson wrote. “Due to recent studies showing that COVID-19 has a long incubation period and asymptomatic carriers of the virus could be fueling its spread, if just one new asymptomatic detainee entered the facility
under its current operating conditions, it is likely that hundreds of detainees will become infected.”

Gwinnett to one of 3 communities piloting COVID-19 contact tracing app By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com
There are three communities in Georgia where state health officials and Google are piloting an application that will allow them to do contact tracing on people who have contracted the COVID-19 novel coronavirus — and Gwinnett County is one of those, local officials have confirmed. Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale Health Departments District Director Dr. Audrey Arona said the three-county health district, as well as the districts for the Macon and Savannah areas are serving as the pilot communities
for the web-based application. “It’s a tool to be used by the health department to assist in contact tracing,” Arona said. “It’s very public facing and interactive with the public via text messages and that type of thing, and we’re a pilot site for that. They’ll roll that out soon across the district.” Contact tracing allows public health officials to figure out where someone who has COVID-19 has been and who they have been in contact with, making it a crucial piece of information in determining where health officials should look when trying to limit the spread of the disease. Although the application is in
its pilot stage at this point, the process of doing contact tracing is not new, according to Arona. “The whole contact tracing (concept) is the same thing as what public health has done all along,” she said. “(The application is) just a tool that aids us in doing that. We used to have to call every single person, every single day to monitor their progress, and this app is good tool to use where it’s more interactive with the public.” Georgia Department of Public Health spokeswoman Nancy Nydam said the application will be used to share guidance with Georgians on what to do if they come
into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 or have experienced symptoms of it. “The application provides them with information about monitoring for symptoms and self-quarantine, and what to do if they develop symptoms,” Nydam said. “It is an adjunct to the contact tracing work that epidemiologists do every day for other communicable diseases such as STDs, TB, measles or even Ebola.” Health officials will have to educate the public on the merits of taking advantage of the application, however, according to Gwinnett’s district health director.
State officials have been quick to point out the application will not use GPS or Bluetooth technology to track the movements of people who have tested positive for COVID-19. “The real key is to get the public comfortable with using it,” Arona said. “That’s why we have to get the message out that this is something good and people don’t need to be afraid that they’re going to be tracked and things like that. “This is not related to the Apple app. This is basically a tool for contract tracing that makes it simple for the public to engage with us without being on the phone all the time.”

Coronavirus has changed the terms of engagement T hanks to a tendency to project our own values onto other countries, many Americans mistakenly assumed that China would become more like us as it embraced a free market. This assumption has guided U.S. policy through several administrations, despite growing evidence that China never had any such intention. Nothing says “reality check” like a deadly pandemic, a national quarantine, a collapsing global economy — and little or no cooperation from the country where the virus got its start. The novel coronavirus has helped us and our international partners to finally see the communist nation’s malign instincts. Though the virus originated in China, the government there denied American officials access to essential health data or to reveal Patient Zero. It has yet to provide a live virus sample or allow outside investigators in. China also underplayed its infection and death rates, thus, skewing data and handicapping researchers trying to solve the mystery of COVID-19. As with any unhealthy relationship, it’s worth considering our role in getting here. Ever since President Richard Nixon opened relations with China nearly 50 years ago, we’ve wanted engagement even at the expense of American values. We’ve not been demanding enough on human rights, starting with the 1989 Tiananmen Square mas-
sacre. We downgraded our relationship with gearing up for a broader anti-China camour long-time friend, Taiwan, on the condi- paign in coming weeks and months. tion that the “Taiwan question” would be reBut this new strategy doesn’t seem to be solved peacefully to normalize relaso much about the administration tions with Beijing.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has steadfastly championed democracy and human rights in China since Tiananmen, understands this, the official suggested. “We can’t have different standards for them.” The official suggested the U.S. would be taking other diplomatic steps soon to keep a closer eye on Beijing. I don’t doubt it. But I asked the official whether this supposedly new American resistance to China’s authoritarian methods might provoke an unwanted response. The official cautioned that Washington did not want a confrontation with Beijing. He said this in a number of different ways: “We aren’t backing China against the wall ... we do not consider China an adversary but rather a competitor ... we prefer engagement ... it’s not about blame but about prudence.” He seemed to think the Chinese would match prudence with prudence, saying, “When China is challenged, it backs down immediately.” Whether that’s so, we’re likely to find out. But such thinking does remind one of exactly the sort of they’ll-think-like-us thinking that got us into trouble in the first place. Kathleen Parker is a columnist for the Washington Post.

Millhof returning to Collins Hill as coach By Will Hammock
will.hammock@gwinnettdailypost.com
Gwinnett County’s first NCAA Division I wrestling All-American is now its youngest head coach. Collins Hill hired Ryan Millhof as the powerhouse wrestling program’s new head coach Thursday, bringing in someone light on high school coaching experience but heavy on wrestling experience. He takes over for Nate Ethridge, who took a job at Social Circle. Millhof, who turns 25 in August, is a former Collins Hill wrestler — he won three high school state titles and was a four-time state finalist. He went 119-4 in his final three seasons at Collins Hill after transferring from Archer, where he was state runner-up as a freshman. Before college, Millhof also won four straight titles in the National High School Coaches Association National Championships and was a three-time placer and two-time champion at the prestigious Super 32 Tournament. “(Millhof) is young, but I think he’s going to be one of those diamonds,” Collins Hill athletic and activities director Scarlett Straughan said. “He just needs somebody to take a chance on him. We’re excited about it.” Millhof began his college career at Oklahoma, where he became Gwinnett’s first NCAA Division I All-American in the sport with a seventh-place finish in 2016, his sophomore season. He was an NCAA qualifier two more times after transferring to Arizona State, though an injury in practice just before NCAAs kept him from competing in his last college meet. He graduated from Arizona State in 2019 and worked as an assistant for the 2019-20 school year at South Forsyth under Josh Stephen, his former coach at Collins Hill. Millhof didn’t think he would have his own program at such a young age, but he took an immediate interest when Collins Hill reached out. “I’m excited. I know it’s going to be an enormous challenge,” Millhof said. “Obviously with my age, that’s what everyone will look at first. But I’ve been wrestling for 18, 19 years now. I feel like I have a good grasp on wrestling. I’m just here to do my best.” His age may be a benefit in some ways, too. See COACH, A13

LOOKING AHEAD
North baseball focuses on future with state title hopes dashed By Allie Hansen Grady Sports Bureau
North Gwinnett baseball coach Ryan Moity was uniquely qualified to help his high school players after the coronavirus pandemic cut their season short. Moity grew up and lived in New Orleans until 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit, wiping out his alma mater, Archbishop Hannah High School, where he was coaching football and baseball at the time. Not only did it destroy the high school, but it also flooded the entire town, leaving Moity and his family essentially homeless for 18 months. He said the struggles from that experience helped prepare him to comfort his players during this current situation. “I look back and wonder how we made it through it.,” Moity said. “So I try to relay that to the kids that they will get through it and come out stronger.” The most devastating part about the players’ season getting cut short this year was the high expectations they previously had for themselves. After losing in the semifinals of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs last season, the already stacked team welcomed John Anderson, a Georgia Tech commit, who transferred to North Gwinnett for his senior year. “I’ve been bummed,” Anderson said. “This was the year to win state. I transferred in and everything was looking great and then it just turned on us quickly without any caution. It was a big letdown.” Along with competing for region and state championships, this was North Gwinnett’s first opportunity to compete for a national championship. The team was invited to compete in a nation-wide tournament in North Carolina. By missing a tournament of that caliber, several of North Gwinnett’s players missed out on the opportunity to get scouted for the next level. These players are now hoping that summer seasons are not canceled to still give them a chance to be seen by recruiters. Those already committed to play in

North Gwinnett players meet on the mound during a 2020 game against Brookwood. college don’t have to worry about being recruited, but they still face the threat of their playing time being affected by the NCAA’s announcement that senior players can have an extra year of eligibility to play if they choose to do so. While Anderson thinks there is a slight possibility of his freshman year at Georgia Tech being affected by this, Brandt Pancer, a senior committed to Stanford, thinks that it won’t affect his experience due to the size of Stanford’s team. “Stanford has always had a smaller team, so they have maybe one kid who will return,” Pancer said. “As long as the virus does not continue into the next school year then I don’t think anything will be that greatly affected for me.” For those who are uncommitted, their futures are much more uncertain. Moity previously spoke to a major league coach who said that all recruitment for new players is currently on hold. Michael Massey, a junior, also previously spoke to a recruiter who said
Falcons to open preseason, season at home From staff reports The NFL released the 2020 schedule Thursday night, giving Atlanta Falcons fans home games in the preseason and season openers. Atlanta’s home opener at Mercedes-Benz Stadium is Sept. 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. The preseason begins the week of Aug. 13-17 with a home game against the Miami Dolphins. Eight of the Falcons’ 16 regular-season games will be filled out by teams from the NFC North and AFC West. Atlanta will face off against the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks because of the
teams’ second-place finishes in their divisions in 2019. The Falcons have two primetime games, including a Monday Night Football game at the Green Bay Packers and a Thursday Night Football Game at the Carolina Panthers. This will be the 27th game the franchise has played on Monday, winning the last five matchups. Atlanta has played 16 Thursday games and with a record of 8-8 in its history. Atlanta plays at Carolina on Oct. 29, just four days after a home game against the Detroit Lions. The NFL also released preseason opponents Thursday. Atlanta faces Miami

they aren’t able to recruit until May 31 at the earliest. Luckily for some of North Gwinnett’s players, scouts usually record video of players as they watch them, and many players have footage of themselves that they can distribute. Some players, such as junior Coulson Buchanan, were hoping to get scouted at the tournament they were scheduled to play in early April. Many college coaches were planning to watch North Gwinnett play due to the talent the team had. North Gwinnett will lose six or seven of its starters, putting a lot of pressure on this year’s juniors. But the players feel confident they can step up. “Coach Moity did a very good job of having a couple of juniors in the leadership group this year, and he made sure that we knew what we were doing when it comes around to our senior year,” Massey said. “I know how I am supposed to be leading because I learned from the seniors this past year.”

We shouldn’t fear sending college students back to campus
“W
e can’t let students return to campus until it’s safe!” Academic Twitter is currently awash in such virtue-signaling platitudes. But if that’s the criteria, we might as well forget ever bringing them back, because it’s never going to be safe. However, if what those tweeters mean is “safe from COVID-19,” then we can bring students back right now, because they’re already safe — about as safe as they’re ever going to be, and statistically much safer than from many other dangers. Consider opioid overdoses, which kill between 45,000
and 50,000 Americans each year, many of them college students. In fact, opioids are the second-most abused drug on campus, trailing only marijuana (and not counting alcohol). An estimated 1 in 4 college students abuses opioids. Speaking of alcohol, a CDC study found that more than 1800 college students die each year from alcohol-related injuries, mostly due to car crashes. Thirty-five a year succumb to alcohol poisoning. And then there’s suicide. The same CDC study pegged the suicide rate for college students at 6.17 per 100,000.

In Italy, according to reports from their National Institute of Health, the virus killed exactly 17 people under the age of 30. Clearly, although students encounter many dangers on college campuses, COVID-19 is unlikely to be one of them. Statistically speaking, it kills hardly anyone under the age of 30 — and virtually no healthy young people. Sure, some students might be more vulnerable than others due to underlying health conditions. The same may certainly be said for older faculty and staff. Let’s take whatever precautions are
necessary to protect those individuals, allowing them to take or teach classes online or otherwise work from home. But the rest, including almost all the students and the majority of employees, can return to campus this fall with very little risk. Then maybe we can get back to worrying about things that actually pose a significant threat to young people, like depression, drug addiction, and alcoholism. Rob Jenkins is a college professor.

Keeping your lawn mower in optimal condition
W
ith the onset of warmer weather, our lawn grasses are beginning to grow at a rapid rate and will need periodic mowing, which is one of the most critical components of turfgrass care. The grass should be cut at the proper height with a mower that is in correct working order. By taking a few simple steps to maintain your equipment, it will function properly in the performance of its duty. Basic engine maintenance is essential. Use the gasoline

You can sharpen rotary mower blades with a grinding wheel and file, but be careful not to destroy the balance. Hang the blade from the hole on a nail in the wall in the center of the blade to determine which side is out of balance—file more of the blade on the heavy end. Excess vibration is an indication of a damaged blade, mounting, or crankshaft. To fix it, frequently tighten the blade and engine mounting bolts, as well as any other nuts, bolts, and screws.
Check mower wheels, bearings and axles for wear and lubrication. If there are grease fittings, check them every couple of months. Replace loose, wobbly wheels. Be sure to keep the drive mechanism on selfpropelled mowers in good working order. Check belts and gears for wear and fit. After each use, clean the underside of the mower with a steady stream of water. The metal deck can rust out if residue builds up. To reduce fire hazard, keep the
engine free of grass, leaves, and excessive grease. Check the grass-catcher bag for wear or deterioration and replace it when necessary. Proper maintenance and care of your lawnmower will ensure it will cut your grass to keep it attractive and healthy.

From C1 spirit-filled person, and by that I mean she connected in a way that we felt is kind of our personal statement if you will,” Alston said. “It wasn’t just about what the Bible said. It’s like ‘How does that apply to the world and the place that you’re living in, the here and now if you will?’ “ The situation is a bit different because of the coronavirus pandemic, but Day said it helps that the congregation has been able to make things work and already figured out a system for conducting services and other church activities, such as Bible study, online. “I’m coming into some really wonderful structure,” she said.
Once the church is able to gather in person for services again, it is expected to be a celebration of not just being able to worship together in the church again, but of also finally seeing their new pastor leading a service in person. “It will be like Christmas morning in many ways, and by that I mean the awe that comes with that, the surprise that comes with that, the gift of a surprise,” said Alston, who added the church is already talking about putting together a celebration that will be held once the congregation is able to come together in person again. “It will be like the gift of a new pastor all over again.” Day also expects it to be a special day when the congregation can gather in the church again. “I think it will be a time of great joy to be able to gather together in person,” she said.
