Georgia football coach Kirby Smart says Bulldogs experiencing 'highest spike' of COVID-19

Georgia football coach Kirby Smart says Bulldogs experiencing 'highest spike' of COVID-19 despite more than 90% being vaccinated


"I'll be honest with you, I'm as concerned as I've ever been, because we have three or four guys out with COVID and we have a couple staff members that have been out with COVID here recently," Smart said. "For us, we're at our highest spike. And people are talking about vaccinations, well these are people that are vaccinated. We're talking about breakthroughs, and so that concerns you not only for the players on your team that are unvaccinated, that are playing and not playing, because we want everybody to be safe. But it concerns me for the players that are vaccinated that we could lose them."

Smart said, last month, that more than 90% of Georgia's players, coaches and other staff members had been vaccinated for COVID-19.

Georgia is not requiring fans to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to attend games at Sanford Stadium this season. Capacity is 92,746.

"This is the highest we've been since fall camp right now," Smart said. "I think there's this relief that you guys feel like everything's back to normal, well it's really just not for us right now."

Oregon House boasts record number of women, after swearing-in of Rep. Christine Goodwin, R-Roseburg

The Oregon House broke its previous record for the number of women representatives this week, after the swearing-in of Rep. Christine Goodwin brought the total number to 33 out of a total 60 members.

Deputy Chief Clerk Obie Rutledge confirmed that 33 is the highest number of women to ever serve in the Oregon House, although the number has been climbing in recent years. Chief Clerk Timothy G. Sekerak added in an email that “the previous high water mark was 22 (women) in 2001, which ebbed down and up and was eventually reached again in 2018 and is currently being surpassed every year.”
