Mason Crawford, a Columbia resident, said he resonates with these troubles.

After a year of global pandemic, we should not be surprised that 2021 is the year when a horde of 17-year cicadas will descend on us once again.
According to the website EarthSky, billions of Brood X cicadas will emerge in a dozen states, “from New York west to Illinois and south into northern Georgia, including hot spots in Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.”
Not to worry. The cicadas will make a lot of noise with their mating calls, but they don’t sting and they’re not harmful. Locusts they are not. And they will go away, and the nitrogen from their bodies will feed the trees they once nibbled on.

Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente announced this week that they will collaborate to build capacity for hospital-at-home care.
The partnership will begin with a reported $100 million combined investment in Medically Home Group, which provides a technology platform aimed at allowing providers to address a range of acute clinical conditions safely in a patient s home. Rarely in the history of medicine do we see such a perfect alignment of policy, technology and cultural transformation converging to produce a new care paradigm like acute care at home, said Dr. John Halamka, president of Mayo Clinic Platform, in a statement. We can advance the well-being of patients by catalyzing innovative, collaborative, knowledge-driven platform business models to redefine the standard of high-acuity care for patients with serious or complex illnesses who currently receive care in hospitals, Halamka continued.

This year, 2021, has been referred to as a “reset year” for many people. They’re reevaluating their priorities, how they spend their time, what their bandwidth is. They’re making adjustments, like spending more time getting rest or with family. As the world slowly moves back to normalcy, this “reset” year is also making people think about their next career move.
