The games are shorter and batting averages are up just a couple of weeks in. Is it good for the game? Is it bad? Is it just a thing? What are your thoughts?— Marshall, ParkerMarshall, I think it’s been tremendous. Sure, there have been some hiccups and I think the umpires are still struggling with some of the logistics, but the games have not only been faster, but they’ve also been crisper and entertaining.From a purely selfish point, it’s sure great for my deadlines for the old-fashioned print newspaper. A number of players have told me that although the pace of the game takes some getting used to, they like it.Through their first eight games, the Rockies’ average game time of 2 hours, 33 minutes was five minutes below the league ...

Opinion: Excess deaths in the U.S. are rising at a shocking rate

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:00:42 GMT

The current COVID-19 situation in the U.S. is both good and bad. The good news is that COVID-19 deaths are at the lowest levels of the three-year pandemic. Given current trends, projections indicate roughly 100,000 COVID-19 deaths for 2023 — less than half of any of the three previous years.The bad news is that the number of overall excess U.S. deaths — the difference between expected numbers of deaths from all causes and the actual number of deaths observed — is rising at a shocking rate. COVID-19 is a factor, but the main causes of excess deaths are more social than medical, and the worst aspect is that they are occurring in the younger demographic in which homicides, suicides, vehicular deaths and drugs are taking a disproportionate toll on what should be the healthiest sector of the population.Since the pandemic began, excess deaths are up by more than 1.25 million in the U.S., about 15% higher than in the pre-pandemic years. This pattern is not limited to the U.S.; excess pande...
