OTHER OPINION Forgotten nursing homes ravaged by covid-19

s hospitals in New York City grew overwhelmed with coronavirus patients earlier this spring, ANew Yorkers began a daily ritual. They stood on their porch steps, their balconies, their sidewalks and clapped, sang and played music at 7 p.m. when hospital workers changed shifts. They shouted, “Thank you!” through the echoing high-rises of Manhattan. Some of those appreciation rituals continue today. Peter Marks, theater critic for the Washington Post, in an April column described the outpouring as an ova- tion: “The tumultuous reception accorded the hospital workers, though, is no cry of despair. It is an impromp- tu curtain call, of multitudinous thank-yous, from a vast audience rooting for everyday heroes. It’s New Yorkers joining in a chorus, singing out in solidarity: ‘We are here.’” Yet nursing home workers, arguably dealing with equally if not more difficult and treacherous cir- cumstances during the coronavirus pandemic, have not been equally recognized. Nurses, nursing aides, housekeepers, food prep staff and administrators have been quietly starting and ending their shifts, and double shifts, without the same attention and appreci- ation.

NAPLES Thompson shoots 65, leads LPGA Tour’s season finale

With brother Curtis back at her side at Tiburon Golf Club, Lexi Thompson shot a 7-under 65 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in the LPGA Tour’s CME Group Tour Championship. Curtis, a Korn Ferry Tour player, also caddied for his sister in 2018 when she won the season-ending event. On Thursday after early morning rain, Thompson birdied five of the first seven holes. She played the next nine holes in even par with a birdie and a bogey, then birdied the final two holes. The 11-time LPGA Tour had her lowest score of the year a week after missing the cut in Houston in the U.S. Women’s Open.

GAME OF THE WEEK FLORIDA VS. ALABAMA POWER RANKINGS When: 8 p.m. Saturday Where: DMercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta TV: ESPN Santa Claus usually fills stockings for the holidays. In the SEC, it’s shoes, as the Power Rankings reflect.

1. Alabama (10-0): In the Crimson Tide’s case, the footwear of choice at the end of the regular season: hobnailed boots. Not necessarily used for breaking noses, in Larry Munson’s famous but slightly grisly play call at Georgia, but definitely planted in the posterior of 10 opponents. 2. Texas A&M (7-1): Cowboy boots, of course, as the Aggies hope for just enough chaos to Texas two-step through the back door of the College Football Playoff honky-tonk. 3.
