Another Boston Red Sox player has been added to the team's COVID-19 related injured list.

The team announced Sunday that pitcher Phillips Valdez had been placed on the list. Brad Peacock was activated from Triple-A Worcester to fill his spot on the active roster.

Valdez, 29, has made 28 appearances for the Red Sox this season, posting a 5.85 ERA with 35 strikeouts.

The announcement that Valdez had been placed on the COVID-19 injured list came just an hour after the Red Sox announced that they had reinstated pitcher Nick Pivetta from the COVID-19 list. He is expected to start Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

The Red Sox announced Friday that ace pitcher Chris Sale had tested positive for COVID-19 and would miss his scheduled start on Sunday. The 32-year-old missed all of last season recovering from Tommy John surgery. Since returning Aug. 14, he is 3-0 with a 2.52 ERA.

The Red Sox have placed 18 players on the COVID-19-related injury list since Aug. 3, including infielders Xander Bogaerts and Christian Arroyo and pitchers Nick Pivetta, Matt Barnes and Martn Prez.

Bogaerts was reinstated Friday and returned to the starting lineup against the White Sox. It was his first game since he was pulled from an 8-5 loss at Tampa Bay on Aug. 31 after the Red Sox found out he had tested positive. The three-time All-Star had to stay behind in Florida after the team departed.

Outfielder Hunter Renfroe claimed Thursday that Major League Baseballtold the Red Sox to "stop testing"amid the outbreak, a claim which MLB denied.

Fake job offers on the rise amid COVID-19 pandemic, says Better Business Bureau - WWMT-TV

The NFL is moving closer to its goal of getting as many players vaccinated as possible, with nearly 94% of all players on Week 1 rosters getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

According to the NFL, 93.5% of all players and more than 99% of all club personnel are vaccinated. There are 17 teams above 95% and 27 clubs have 90% or more of all players vaccinated. The lowest club is at 80% and there are three teams between 80-85%. TheColtsandVikingsare among the teams that have dealt with COVID-related issues this offseason, are there are no shortage of coaches and executives around the league who wish their rates were higher.

TheFalcons,BuccaneersandRaidersare fully vaccinated.

COVID will clearly remain a factor in the NFL this season, as it does in our society. The onboarding process for free agents is set up to incentivize vaccination, with non-vaxxed players needing five days until they fully join a new club. That is a substantial factor for teams looking for replacements for practices and games right away, and you cannot find a personnel person or agent in the NFL who is not convinced that this is a significant factor in making roster decisions on the fly moving forward.

Particularly with specialists or players at positions with very limited reserves (like quarterback), the additional time a player must miss for being a close contact or testing positive without being vaccinated has massive ramifications in terms of availability.

"Take a look at some of the punters or quarterbacks still out there," one personnel exec said. "And then check on their vaccination status."

The NFL has made it clear it is not willing to go to the lengths it so often did a year ago to facilitate the playing of a game compromised by a team's COVID situation. That too is lost on no one making roster decisions in the league.

NFL pushing closer to COVID-19 vaccination goal, all but 5 teams have player vaccination rate of 90% or above - CBS Sports

CHICAGO (NewsNation Now) The family of an Alabama man who died of heart issues more than 200 miles from his home is asking people to get vaccinated against the coronavirus after more than 40 hospitals across three states were unable to accept him due to full cardiac ICUs.

Ray Martin DeMonia died Sept. 1; three days before his 74th birthday, his family said.

DeMonia suffered a heart attack and was transferred to the nearest available bed, which was more than 200 miles away at Rush Foundation Hospital in Meridian, Mississippi.

In his obituary, his family urged people to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

In honor of Ray, please get vaccinated if you have not, in an effort to free up resources for non-COVID-related emergencies, the obituary read.

Cases in COVID-19 cases are once again pushing hospitals across the country to their limits.

Danne Howard, the Alabama Hospital Association deputy director, said the state is in a dire place. The COVID-19 surge began in mid-august and has now reached its highest point ever during the pandemic.

I cant predict whats going to happen tomorrow, but were certainly not rending in the right direction, Howard said.

Although hospitals do have the capability to expand capacity, Howard said theres a lack of staff to handle that change adequately.

Thats why were so aggressively trying to find additional resources, so those decisions dont have to be made, so those types of life-or-death situations are not something that have to be faced, Howard explained.

On Tuesday, Alabama saw83 more ICU patientsthan ICU beds open statewide. On Wednesday, there were94 more ICU patients than beds available.

The Alabama Hospital Association says morethan half of those patients are battling COVID-19. Howard says relief cant come soon enough.

Were not throwing in the towel, but it is a dire and serious situation, she said.

The Alabama Hospital Association works daily with the state health department and the governors office to find staff and resources. However, Hurricane Ida has taken much of it away; federal medical teams are still deployed to help there. Theyre urging people to continue to socially distance themselves and only go to the emergency room if it is a true emergency.

Man dies of heart attack after 43 hospitals with full ICUs turned him away - NEWS10 ABC

Just a few months ago, there were only five COVID-19 patients, at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. As of Thursday, there were more than 45.

Nearly all of these patients are not vaccinated, a reflection of "the amount of misinformation that's being absorbed, and taken as truth in our community because people are convinced that they don't want to be vaccinated, and then they end up here," Dr. Meghan McInerney, the intensive care unit's medical director, told ABC News.

Given the influx of patients, beds do not stay empty long.

"We are overwhelmed. We have so many patients with COVID, who are unvaccinated," said McInerney. "On top of an already busy ICU, you add the volume of COVID patients that we're seeing now and yes, it's just added a different level of busy, a different level of crazy. ... It's a lot. It's a lot."

Hospitals across the state of Idaho are now facing their most significant surge yet, as COVID-19 patients flood into emergency departments.

Statewide, more than 600 patients are now hospitalized with the virus, the highest on record, and less than 13% of the state's ICU beds remain available.

ABC News' Kaylee Hartung speaks with hospitalist, Dr. Carolyn McFarlane, and COVID-19 charge nurse, Alicia Luciani, at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho.

Earlier this week, in an effort to address the ongoing surge, state health officials in Idaho announced that they had activated a "crisis standards of care" for the state's northern hospitals, which will allow hospitals to ration care given the increased demand and a "severe staffing shortage."

The rapidly spreading delta variant has rendered the job of these front-line workers even more difficult, McInerney explained. Idaho currently has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the U.S., with less than 40% of the state's total population fully vaccinated; the national rate stands at 53.6%.

"It's really hard to be a physician at the front lines, doing this every single day and living in a state where the vaccination rate is so low," McInerney said.

In fact, all of the patients who are critically ill from COVID-19 and currently under care in Saint Alphonsus Boise have not been vaccinated, ICU nurse Jessica Parrott told ABC News, while "the people who are not getting critically ill, are the people who have the vaccine," she added.

The virus is also landing much younger people in the ICU, some of whom are in their early 20s. This particular wave of infections feels more "aggressive," than those treated during the surge in 2020, said Dr. Carolyn McFarlane, a hospitalist at Saint Alphonsus Boise.

"The deaths within our system in the past 24 hours are a 30-year-old and another in their 50s. It feels preventable," McFarlane said.

ABC News' Kaylee Hartung speaks with Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center's ICU Medical Director, Dr. Meghan McInerney, in Boise, Idaho.

Staff are completely overworked and overwhelmed, McInerney said, and teams are facing a staffing crisis. Nurses are being increasingly asked to pick up extra shifts due to the influx of patients coming from all over Idaho, and even from outside the state.

"We don't have the hands that we need to take care of everyone. And it is incredibly frustrating for all of those involved on every level, between [administration] down to environmental services," said Alicia Luciani, a COVID-19 charge nurse at Saint Alphonsus Boise. "It's affecting everyone and affecting how our patients are getting care. And we do our utmost to provide all that we can for these patients." However, she added, "It's incredibly frustrating. Everyone is so tired."

In addition to the physical and emotional exhaustion from working shifts that feel like a "silent battleground," medical staffers at Saint Alphonsus said they are disheartened by the continued unwillingness of some Idaho residents to get the vaccine.

Although a number of patients do express regret that they have not received or sought out a vaccination, some even apologizing for it, according to nurse educator Monica Brower, others remain contentious, even after being on a ventilator and confronting the stark reality of their mortality.

"Don't tell me I have COVID. I don't believe in COVID," patients have told McFarlane, who teared up as she recounted combative patients.

"There is an almost adversarial tone to things when we ask, 'Did you get vaccinated?'" McFarlane said. "It creates a rift in the tone of the room, because it's a feeling of 'well you're going to treat me differently because I didn't get vaccinated,' and that is far from the truth."

Medical professionals pronate a 39-year old unvaccinated COVID-19 patient in the Medical Intensive care unit (MICU) at St. Luke's Boise Medical Center in Boise, Idaho, Aug. 31, 2021.

In fact, said McFarlane, "It almost gets to a point where you read the tone in the room and you shy away from even asking about vaccination status, because you want to be able to focus on saving the person's life, not going into the politics behind the vaccine."

As more unvaccinated patients fill hospital beds, Luciani said it has become "really hard to maintain a level of hope."

"They stick to their guns," Luciani explained, and even on their death bed she's had to listen to people deny that they have the virus, while maintaining their fervent anti-vaccine sentiment. "In my mind, that life is essentially over as we know it. ... Some people just refuse. And it's kind of like a slap in the face."

"They don't get to see how hard we're working to try to keep them alive. ... This is the real deal. This is what it looks like," McInerney said.

When asked what keeps them going, McFarlane's answer resonates.

"We are taking care of our communities, family members, people that are acquaintances, neighbors. ... We will do everything we can to care for them, because we care, because we have taken an oath, and it's the time for us to rise to the occasion. And we are here for our community."

Even on their death beds, some COVID-19 patients in Idaho still reject vaccination - ABC News

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) Family and friends are remembering lives lost due to COVID-19.

Historic Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh hosted a COVID-19 Day of Remembrance on Sunday.

Visitors wrote messages on ribbons and tied them to trees located in the cemeterys Grove of Remembrance.

The section opened about two months ago as a way for people to remember loved ones. The cemeterys Executive Director Robin Simonton said the pandemic made it difficult for many people to hold traditional funerals.

It really changed the way we say goodbye, Simonton said. And so, we created this Grove of Remembrance a couple months ago because whether your loved one died of COVID or something else, but you had a funeral during this challenging time, it was really different for families to be able to gather.

For Deborah Liggins, it was a way to remember her husband of more than 50 years.

Ricky Liggins was a retired Raleigh police officer who passed away in Nov. 2020 after contracting COVID-19. His wife came up with the idea for a day dedicated to remembering those lost to COVID-19 and reached out to Oakwood Cemetery.

They dont need to be forgotten either, Liggins said. They were human, they were here, they were part of us, and its left a big void in everybodys life.

Bob Carson of Raleigh came to honor two friends.

We wrote we miss you so much Jack, and we love you, Carson said.

It was a message similar to the one Liggins wrote on the ribbon for her husband.

I actually put on the ribbon that he was missed every day, hes missed all day long, and that I love him, and that I would never forget about him, she said.

Simonton said the group Activate Good made hundreds of cards for families who lost loved ones to COVID-19 for the cemetery to hand out. She said people can visit the cemetery office Monday through Friday and pick up a ribbon.

Its a way to refresh my memory of him and then realize that its not just one life lost, but hundreds of thousands, so yes it does help, Carson said.

More than 15,000 people in North Carolina have died from COVID-19.

Day of Remembrance held in Raleigh for victims of COVID-19 - CBS17.com

There are 119 candidates running for school board spots in Hamilton County this year more candidates than the county has seen in over twodecades.

Most of these candidates are new, as many districts only have one incumbent running for reelection this year.In two districts, Oak Hills School District and Lebanon City School district, there are no incumbents seekingreelection.

The Enquirer looked at the total number of candidates running for school board seats since 2001. That's how far back the results archive goes on the Hamilton County Board of Elections' website. The second-highest number of candidates in that timeframe was in 2005 when 107 ran for school board seats across the county.

Another 49 school board candidates are on the ballot in Butler County, 47 in Warren County and 47in Clermont County.

That makes for a total of 262candidates running for local school boards this November.

Some districts still do not have as many candidates as there are open seats. In those cases, school districts will be responsible for filling those positions. Most district policies require thenew board to vote in order to fill any vacancies. Felicity-Franklin Schools treasurerChristy Laubach said there will be a write-in candidate for the district's third board of education seat.

Hamilton County Board of Elections directorSherry Poland said she has also noticed an "uptick" in school board candidates in certain districts this year, though she said the list of candidates was not so robust earlier this summer.

"There were quite a few who filed either on the filing deadline or within a few days of the filing deadline," Poland said. That deadline was the first week of August.

So why the sudden interest in running for school board?

In Forest Hills, drama over the retired Redskins mascot and ongoing upset about critical race theoryseem to be fueling a surge in candidates.

"I'magainst critical race theory. I don't like the idea of pitting anyone against each other," Katie Stewart, a Forest Hills school board candidate,told The Enquirer. "And I don't like the idea of equity, personally."

The theory is an academic field of study that has becomehighly controversial and politicized in the last year, thoughexperts say it exists in higher education institutions, not in K-12.

More:Critical race theory: What is it, really?

Forest Hills superintendent Scot Prebles has said that the theoryis not taught in the district's schools. Still, fears of the theory infiltrating K-12 classrooms have sparked multiple protests and a total of seven candidates running for three open seats on the Forest Hills school board.

Other school board candidates across the region are running onplatforms centered around critical race theory.

Olga Verbitsky, a Springboro Schools board of education candidate, said she decided to run because she thinks it would be beneficial to have new faces and perspectives leading the district. She was also encouraged to run after hearing continued conversations about the theory.

Verbitsky said she is supportive of Black history lessons, but would not endorse the theoryor "anti-racism" curriculum in Springboro Schools.

"I think our academics are, really, they're the ones causing most of the problem withthis conversation," she said. "I don't know when this hatred for America started. I think that's what's so alarming, and that's where critical race theory, in my opinion, starts to really(...) rear its ugly head."

Mary Wineberg is a second-grade teacher at Hyde Park School inCincinnati Public Schools and a candidate on the November ballot. She is also a parent in the district.

"I think there's a surge because so many people have started really paying attention," Wineberg said of the volume of school board candidates this year. "Especially with the pandemic and remote learning, and people really wanting to say, 'Hey, I want to step up and I want to make some changes.' "

Nicole Bays, a Talawanda school board candidate, said she started watching school board meetings when the district was still remote.

"It was really affecting my children mentally, emotionally," she said of distanced learning.

Bays staged a protest in August 2020 to convince Talawanda Schools to offer an in-person option. A year later, Bays said COVID-19 "is not going to go away." She said she wants to help the board develop "a durable, common-sense education for our children" and ensure the district's COVID-19 protocols result from both scientific research and community feedback.

Jara Bonner, a Milford Exempted Village School District board of education candidate, said she also started paying more attention to school board meetings as a result of the pandemic.

"COVID-19 obviously has shed a lot of light on the school system," Bonner said.

Bonner said she found some parents are still not comfortable sending their children back into classrooms.

"We need to find a way to be able to educate all of our children, give them the best quality education, in various settings," she said. "While in-person learning is truly, probably, the best option, maybe we can start thinking of some other options for parents, to give them what they need."

At Edgewood City Schools, candidate Molly Broadwater says the surge in candidates there are eight this year running for three seats is "nothing to do with masks" or critical race theory.

"Itreally hasto do with just the need for change in general," Broadwater said.

Broadwater started attending board meetings more regularly when the pandemic started but says she found other puzzling, frustrating and downright upsetting reasons to continue showing up.

"I can see that there is clearly a lack of transparency, there's a lack of communication and our current board seems to just be a rubber stamp for a superintendent," Broadwater said.

Many regionalschool board candidates voiced concerns over the focus on critical race theoryand mask policies during this election cycle since school boards candidates in Ohio are nonpartisan meaning party affiliations are omitted from the ballot. But those two issues, in particular, have become highly politicized leading up to this year's election.

"I feel we're at a crossroads where we could become a very divided community, and I do not want that to happen," John Skerl said. He's running alongside Janelle Groff for seats on the Kings Local Schools board of education, where a total of eight candidates are running for three spots."I just want to make sure that the kids have the best learning opportunities possible."

There are "hot topics" every election cycle, Groff said. Years ago, it was the debate over Common Core, a 2010 state standards initiative for K-12. Groffsaid conversations around critical racewill go away in time.

Three Indian Hill dads Nolan Marx, Craig Sumerel and Bear Tullis are running together for school board. There are a total of 11 candidates on the Indian Hill board of education ballot, more candidates than any other school board race in the region.

"Part of why we're running is because we really want to depoliticize our school board. Not that it's super political today, but our goal going forward is we do not want a politically active school board. We want a school board of people who have kids in the district and care about our school," Tullis said.

Elliot Grossman, a Loveland City Schools board candidate, also refrained from focusing on the race theory or COVID-19 in his campaign. He intended to run for school board before the pandemic, he said. The district has had two failed levies in recent years.

"I am running to help restore trust in the district's leadership," Grossman said. "I'm not a one-issue candidate. Though I take the pandemic very seriously, my campaign is about the long-term future of the school district."

While the November ballots will list plenty of new names for school boards, this year also caused some board members to call it quits. Two Cincinnati Public Schools board members, Melanie Bates and Ryan Messer, announced over the summer that they would not run for reelection.

"While my formal role with the district will be coming to a close, I plan to stay involved as an active CPS volunteer and grandparent," Bates said.

Patty Taylor at Forest Hills left the board mid-year, allowing former board member Julie Bissinger to step in for the rest of the year. Bissinger is not on the November ballot, so voters willselect a new candidate to serve the remainder of Taylor's term, which ends in December 2023.

Brad Lovell, current board member at Lakota Local Schools, decided not to run for reelection this November, though he told The Enquirer he has "enjoyed every bit of the last four years."

"Four years is a long time, especially when you have a 7-year-old and a 2-year-old and you work a full-time job," Lovell said. "Being on the school board's like a pressure cooker. Every issue becomes a big issue, it seems like."

Lovell said the pandemic is "exhausting, every bit of it," as the board was put in the position of being public health experts "when we're not." Community members on both sides of the masking decision have been very passionate, he said, and Lovellhasbeen "beat up on social media" throughout his tenure on the board.

"It's really rough," he said.

Though he's stepping down, Lovell said he's happy to see so many candidates on the ballot this year. He just hopes they realize the responsibility that comes with getting elected. School board members are nonpartisan, he said, and for good reason: to represent the kids and families in their communities.

"I'm seeing more and more political issues that are making their way into our school system," Lovell said. "People can agree or disagree with me, but the hot topics that are why, I think, people are running, whether it be masking our kids or critical race theory, you can clearly see that those fall along party lines. So that makes it really difficult."

A Catoosa family is remembering their loved one who died from COVID-19 complications.

Lacy Hutchinson was eight months pregnant when she got sick.

Lacy's sister Autumn Trammel says Lacy was full of life, and so excited to be a new mom. She says Lacy loved to be with her family, spending time fishing and going to the zoo.

"She was the most amazing person I've ever known, she was bubbly, full of life, anyone that she came in contact with, she just touched so many lives," Autumn said.

Autumn says about three weeks ago, Lacy tested positive for COVID-19.

Because she was eight months pregnant, she was admitted to the hospital, and ended up having pneumonia.

The baby was delivered through a c-section to help Lacy.

"Every time she would fall asleep her oxygen levels would drop, and it was decided to put her on the ventilator and after two weeks her lungs were not healing," Autumn said.

Lacy died after two weeks on the ventilator.

Autumn says Lacy had been married for 13 years and was so excited to be a new mom and to bring home a baby sister for her five-year-old daughter.

"Anything and everything that she needed or wanted, she would try and provide that for her, she loved doing things with her," she said.

Autumn says their family is devastated but will do everything they can to make sure their daughters know their mom.

"I just want to live in her name and let her daughters never forget who she was, and I just want everyone to be safe and cautious out there and take care," she said.

The baby is now home from the hospital and is healthy.

If you'd like to help the family, here is a link to an online fundraiser.
