When the calendar turned to 2020, chances are unless you were an epidemiologist you probably had no knowledge of COVID-19.

Michigan chief justice: Vaccinate judges, court staff in second wave
Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Bridget McCormack is asking the state s top doctor to allow judges and other court staff to be among those in the second tier of people in Michigan to be vaccinated.
In a letter Dec. 8 to Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, the state s chief medical executive and chief deputy director of the Department of Health and Human Services, McCormack asked that judges and court workers who are still performing work in-person at courthouses across Michigan be among the essential workers to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Lynn Sutfin, a spokeswoman for MDHHS, said state health officials updated the department s prioritization guidance Wednesday, in accordance with recommendations from the federal Centers for Disease Control and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
A man who builds and repairs seawalls was ordered to pay about $35,000 to four of six people who complained he failed to start or complete work on their barriers along the Lake St. Clair shoreline.
Robert David Marshall received a delayed sentencing last month in Macomb County Circuit Court after he was charged with seven larceny offenses, five felonies and two misdemeanors, for failing to perform promised work on four projects in Harrison Township and two in St. Clair Shores.
He will have to pay $35,100 in restitution to four victims by Oct. 13, 2021, to have the felonies reduced to misdemeanors and likely avoid jail time, according to the ruling by Judge James Maceroni.
