The Columbus Dispatch
COLUMBUS, Ohio Every year, Arturo pays thousands of dollars in taxes from the revenue produced by his central Ohio-based painting company.
But he will never receive Social Security benefits. Or Medicare. Or Medicaid.
That s because Arturo, whose last name is not being used for his safety, is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico one of about 6 million who pay taxes annually, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
A report from the office shows that 50% to 75% of undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes each year and have been since the Internal Revenue Service created a program 25 years ago allowing people without a Social Security number to file taxes.
That s up 18.38% from the previous week s tally of 39,631 COVID-19 doses administered.
As of March 15, 8.57% of people living in Livingston County are fully vaccinated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers someone fully vaccinated two weeks after they ve been given a single-dose shot (Johnson & Johnson) or a second shot (either Pfizer or Moderna).
As Michigan passed the one-year anniversary of its first COVID-19 case, Michigan chief medical officer Dr. Joneigh Khaldun said test positivity rates and hospitalizations are on the rise again, and that getting vaccinated is key. The more people that get vaccinated, and the quicker we do it, the safer we will all be, Khaldun said.
Almost exactly a year ago, I stood in a conference room on the fourth floor of city’s office building and listened to the governor and health officials announced they’d confirmed the first case of COVID-19 in Greene County.
I had been reading for weeks about the infectious and deadly new coronavirus and its rapid spread in China and Europe. I followed the terrifying tales of nursing home outbreaks in Seattle and saw case numbers beginning to grow in New York.
Days later, things started shutting down in Springfield.
I’ll spare you all the tales of what happened next because I think you know, but I will say that I don’t think most people, myself included, anticipated everything else that was to come the hundreds of thousands of deaths, the loss of jobs and businesses, the mental health toll, the fights over masks and shutdowns, the collective grief and personal struggles.
