COVID Impact: Doctors Say Delayed Care For Other Conditions No Longer An Issue, Urge Patients To Book Appointments
NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — When the coronavirus pandemic hit, many with other conditions had to delay, stop or change their care. CBS2’s Meg Baker has more on what a new mom and a cancer patient experienced and a message about prevention. “When Rob basically dropped me off and it was like, ‘Okay, see you around the other side,'” Melissa Pietroforte said. Thirty hours on Zoom is how Pietroforte communicated with her husband, Rob, while in labor last March.

Work-at-home will stay in play long after the pandemic recedes
After years of slowly easing toward remote work arrangements, companies and their employees had to take the plunge fully clothed in March. Instead of drowning, they learned to make it work, saving an untold number of jobs and ushering in profound changes that will carry into a post-pandemic world. “Remote work has been all or nothing in the past,” said Sara Sutton, founder and CEO of FlexJobs. “It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.” FlexJobs connects workers with remote work opportunities, and the Boulder-based company, practicing what it preaches, has operated remotely for 14 years. Despite being well-versed in what many companies were pushed into unwillingly, Sutton said this year has proved to be the hardest in the company’s history. What happened this year doesn’t at all reflect the benefits that remote work can offer, Sutton said.

Politico: ‘Dismal’ Democratic Support for Joe Biden’s Giant Amnesty
Democrats have postponed a floor vote on President Joe Biden’s massive amnesty and population-expansion bill because of “dismal” support among Democrats, according to Politico. Instead of a March vote, Democrats say their huge bill will be sent through the committees while supporters try to build support in time for an April vote, according to Politico, which added: Proponents of the Biden bill, meanwhile, are still furiously working the phones to get their colleagues on board. That group, led by California Reps. Linda Sánchez, Judy Chu and Zoe Lofgren, has also lined up meetings with influential groups across the caucus, including the Blue Dogs on Tuesday and progressives on Thursday. Sánchez and Lofgren, along with other top Democrats, also spoke to the New Democrat Coalition late last month. Democrats in swing districts are looking to make some changes to the bill, Politico reported. One token change in favor of the E-Verify employment system was suggested by Rep. Tom … [Read more...] about Politico: ‘Dismal’ Democratic Support for Joe Biden’s Giant Amnesty
