What do you think was the biggest news event this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally? Talk about why it’s a big deal.

It's still the pandemic, although the Chauvin trial is a close second. The pandemic surge is happening, AGAIN. I despair for America and the rest of the world. I have friends and family in Europe, where they are again in lockdown. I hear news reports of vaccine refusers (even health care workers) in Africa. Vaccine supply is spotty at best in the rest of the world, and those in rural, underdeveloped countries are at the mercy of their governments. This is a virus that keeps mutating. I suspect it will be the main news story for years.
