In just over a month, the death toll in Italy from the coronavirus pandemic has surpassed 10,000 and Italy’s total number of COVID-19 cases has topped 100,000. The epicenter of the crisis has been the northern region of Lombardy, where nearly 6,000 people have died. In one 24 hour period, between the Lombard cities of Bergamo, Brescia and Milan, there were 542 new deaths. The doctors and nurses on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic in Italy are real heroes fighting daily with masks goggles and gowns their only barrier against the contagion. So far, more than 7,100 healthcare workers around the country have been infected with Covid19. They are sorely missed, and their absence brings more work for those still standing. More than 50 doctors never recovered and are counted among the victims. These heroes of Italy’s pandemic are not just treating the sick with respirators and oxygen. They are standing in for sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, who under normal circumstances would be able to visit, hold the hands of sick loved ones and offer a word of encouragement. Giacomo Ghilardi, the mayor of Cinisello a small town outside Milan, and hard-hit by the pandemic said ‘Today is like many other days over the past month, days where I find myself mourning our fellow citizens. We will remember everybody. All our loved ones, friends, family, acquaintances…. But soon, we will wipe away our tears, we will get up, we will smile again and we will remember. That I promise you.”

After more than a year in the making, the House That Derek Jeter Built, the biggest home in the county, is finished. On Wednesday, Tampa’s building department issued a certificate of occupancy for the famed Yankee shortstop who calls Tampa his permanent home. The $7.7 million house dwarfs surrounding homes on Bahama Circle. Construction began on the 30,000-square-foot seven-bedroom, nine-bath mansion early last year. Jeter bought up the adjacent lots on which the home sits for $7.7 million in 2005 and 2006.

Many migrants coming north from Mexico and Central America have made the journey through the Anza-Borrego. As Winslow was preparing a tour to promote his latest book, ”Broken,” the coronavirus outbreak put that on hold. He is promoting his work with a ”virtual tour” instead.
