The jail, like any congregate facility, is not built for a viral outbreak. With dorms comprised of single cells and dozens of beds separated by half-walls, an infected cough can quickly travel through the unit, which typically holds 40 people. The Multnomah County Sheriff s Office (MCSO), which oversees the county s two adult jails, had tried to avoid the transmission of COVID-19 by opening up an extra dorm in Inverness, holding incoming inmates 14 days in a quarantined dorm before transferring them into the jail s general population, and routinely checking inmates temperatures.

At a virtual coffee hour today, the new Great Barrington, Massachusetts police chief introduced himself to the community.
53-year-old Paul Storti is replacing William Walsh, who retired last year after over four decades serving the Southern Berkshire community of around 7,000.
“I live locally, very close to town, and I have four children who have all attended local schools, he said. And I’ve been a police officer now since 1989, so do the math on that, for a long period of time. I started my career as a part-time officer in the town of Egremont and shortly after that I joined the town of Sheffield as a part-time officer. And worked pretty much full-time on a part-time basis between both communities, and then mid-90s, I was hired full-time for the town of Great Barrington and I’ve worked here ever since.”
Peter Neronha, Attorney General
Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha raised $80,025 for the last quarter of 2020 and a large segment of it came from donations tied to a number of politically linked law firms, State House lobbyists, and from some select marijuana interests.
Neronha entered the quarter with just $48,731.61 on hand and with the fourth quarter fundraising haul, he now has $126,873.04.
As a candidate, Neronha pledged, “As Attorney General, on behalf of the people of Rhode Island, I’ll make sure that all public officials, elected or appointed, serve the public, not themselves. The next Attorney General needs to have the experience and independence, and the will, to bring these kind of cases. As U.S. Attorney, I made public corruption our top priority, and we brought case after case against politicians who violated their oath.”GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST
Irish greenhouse gas emissions estimated to be 6% lower in 2020
Ireland’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are estimated to have fallen by 6% overall in 2020 due to the impact of Covid-19 restrictions, according to a new report.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) have jointly released an analysis of the impact of Covid-19 restrictions on GHG emissions in 2020.
The estimates show a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of almost 6% in 2020 compared to 2019.
However, agriculture emissions are expected to have risen slightly as a result of increased fuel and fertiliser use, the analysis says.
The estimates are based on monthly indicator data, allowing for earlier estimation – compared to the more comprehensive annual data used by the EPA to produce Ireland’s GHG Inventory, the authorities say.
