michael. the court sentences you as follows: count one, malice, murder, life without the possibility of parole. felony murder, travis michael, had killed ahmed aubrey cows out her jug felony with a shotgun, heated by operation of law mod aubrey was marked tragedy. tragedy on many, many levels, almost torn, i'm sorry. on february 23rd of 2020, almost 2 years ago. a resident of glenn county, a graduate of brunswick high, the son of brother, the young man with drains was gone down in this community, dated the 24th. michael had been convicted of murder november alongside his father, gregory, and neighbor william bryan. only dry and will be allowed to appeal for parole. after 30 years. william or bry, they each have nobody moist and do not deserve any leniency.

the sentencing of aubrey's kill us is a ray of hope. in a country where races violence too often goes unpunished. huh. now total confirmed cove. 19 cases, recently top 300000000 is a lot to unpack and that big number. so let's break it down here on the wall. the 1st, remember, confirmed is the key word, the true number of cases, us almost surely much higher because so many have gone untested. there are also huge differences and how countries test and report their numbers. nonetheless, let's look at how cases have accelerated over the course of this pandemic. it took about one year for the 1st $100000000.00 cases. then came the more infectious delta variant. we had 200000000 just about 6 months. and this last 100000000 was even shorter, around 5 months. now looking at weekly cases, the world over, you can see how quickly this latest spike has been compared to previous waves. it's

a straight line for the last month or so. and that's likely because of omicron, which is a highly infectious variant but reported as milder. that's good news, but many more overall cases still means more serious cases. it could be enough to overwhelm health care systems, which is what has officials in countries all over. so worried now not only bad news, there's some good news as well. let's look at deaths despite the surgeon cases, deaths are down. these are weekly confirmed deaths. again, confirm it is important. some analysts suggest a real tal could be 2 to 4 times greater, but nevertheless, fewer deaths suggest we may be moving from pandemic to endemic. and that's where we want to go. and just to drive that point home, let's look at cases versus deaths. we can see cases on top, or 1000000 people, they're going up, deaths are going down. now, why is that? oh, micron may indeed be milder. we also have more ways to protect ourselves now, such as masks. many people around the world have been infected,

which offers them some immunity, especially for younger populations that have a better chance of avoiding serious illness. and of course, last but not least vaccination, which lowers the risk of transmission and illness. now, of course, we still have a long way to go. things are hardly equal everywhere, but these figures should give us some encouragement that there is an end to this pandemic. and we can live with this virus. and germany's buena sleeva knows 1st hand just how fast cove it is spreading. the sport returned with a bang the way after the winter break. as mentioned, glad bought stunned league leaders. byron munich, byron, would normally have come into the match, a strong favorites, but the team was missing 9 stars due to coven 19, glad by coach audi. hutcher was all smiles as he greeted his byron counterpart. juliet nozzles, maud. this, despite the enormity of the task in front of him, not guzman had to be happy to have yashimi chemist back after a 2 month absence due to cobit 19. and he was definitely glad that
