We may think of 2020 as a year of seemingly endless bad news as the pandemic threatened our health, forced us to stay at home and upended most facets of life. But it wasn’t all bad. Here’s a look at some of the things that managed to come out on top.
Rescue Animals
The figure – 87% – is equally shocking and heartbreaking.
Of the 63 new Indiana mothers who died in 2018, 87% of their deaths were preventable. That means 55 Hoosier families were left grieving instead of celebrating milestones such as first steps or words.
The sobering statistics are included in a landmark report published this month by the state s Maternal Mortality Review Committee, a panel created by lawmakers two years ago to study why and under what circumstances women died during and within one year of pregnancy.
The findings of the committee in its inaugural annual report are eye-opening and should be examined closely by lawmakers, doctors, social workers and others.

Before this year, screen time was a hotly contested parenting topic. Now, even the most organic Montessori toy mom relinquishes the iPad to her child for at least a little while each day to preserve her fraying sanity.

A steady stream of anxiety-inducing events that could make anyone wish for an escape hatch called for one thing: Marijuana. By late spring of 2020, cannabis stores and medical marijuana dispensaries were deemed essential businesses in more than a dozen states. Kelsey McClellan/The New York Times
