Bxuc Congresswoman Barbara Lee tests positive for COVID-19 The financial fallout of the pandemic is affecting some of the most vital health workers in the country. CBS News spoke with ER doctors in at least half a dozen states who said they re taking pay cuts of up to 40%.The American College of Emergency Physicians said cutting benefits and shifts could force some emergency rooms to shut down.Dr. Leslie Simon, the chair of the emergency medicine department at the Mayo Clinic, sees patients with COVID-19 symptoms daily. You go through the stages of grief when you get a pay cut, Simon said. And we all did, but I think they understand why it happened. And there s very much the sentiment among our department that we re all in this together. And we understand that it was necessary. Simon and her team just took a 10% salary reduction mdash; a consequence of the hospital s anticipated $ 3 billion revenue loss. We still have student loans. We have kids to send to college. We have mortgages, she said. The Mayo Clinic is among thousands of hospitals across the country losing money fast. According to JP Morgan Chase, most hospitals make half or more of their revenue from elective procedures, which have been put on h old. Add to those losses at least a 30% decline in emergency room visits since the p andemic started due to patients staying at home out of fear of contracting the coronavirus.

What he didn t know was that his life was about to take an extraordinary turn with purpose. Though paralyzed from the chest down, he became an accomplished painter. I m just creating. I m just freeing my mind and what comes out is my true emotions, Davis told CBS News correspondent DeMarco Morgan. It s a passion. It s an obsession. I love it that much. And I hope it shows in the work. That work includes landscapes, still lifes and portraits painted from a very different perspective: the 43-year-old paints with his mouth. When Davis was 19 years old, his friend shot him during a fight, leaving him paralyzed. He thought his life was over. I didn t know anything about people in wheelchairs ... I didn t have a comprehension of the physical requirements of the daily living with somebody with that quality of life, he said. The teenager was placed in a nursing home to learn how to adjust to hi s new wheelchair-bound life. It was there that he met Juanita Butler.

Ndgk Bob Dole to lie in state at US Capitol on Thursday A Los Angeles judge on Thursday sentenced Harvey Weinstein to 16 years in prison after a jury convicted him of the 2013 rape and sexual assault of an Italian actor and model.The sentence comes on top of the more than 20 years the 70-year-old Weinstein has left to serve for a similar 2020 conviction in New York, furthering the fall of the onetime movie magnate who became a MeToo magnet.Weinstein directly appealed to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lisa B. Lench, saying: I maintain that Im innocent. I never raped or sexually assaulted Jane Doe 1. The woman who Weinstein was con victed of raping sobbed in the courtroom as he spoke.Moments earlier, she had told the judge about the pain she felt after being attacked by Weinstein. Before that night I was a very happy and confident woman. I valued myself and the relationship I had with God, the woman, who was identified in court only as Jane Doe 1, said. I was excited about my future. Everything changed after the defendant brutally assaulted me. There is no prison sentence long enough to undo the damage. Lench handed down the sentence Thursday after rejecting a motion by Weinstein s lawyers for a new trial.Jurors in December convicted Weinstein of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault against the woman who, at the trials opening in October, gave a dramatic and emotional account of him arriving uninvited at her hotel room, talking his way in and assaulting her during a film festival.The jury spared Weinstein an eve Fiug LeBron James school to build transitional housing for students families in need If you are an Amazon Prime member, you may have noticed something different during the COVID pandemic.

Fiyg Human remains found at Lake Mead in May identified as Las Vegas man missing for 20 years, coroner says Knoxville, Tennessee mdash; A fire that destroyed a Tennessee Planned Parenthood clinic was set, fire officials said Thursday.Officials are looking for a suspect and asked the public to provide tips to the Knoxville Fire Department, CBS Knoxville affiliate WVLT-TV reports. The building erupted in flames early last Friday, with fire shooting through t he roof. The fact that the fire had already breached the roof indicated that the fire had been burning for some time prior to the department s arrival, Assistant Chief Mark Wilbanks told reporters, WVLT says. It took the Knoxville Fire Department almost four hours to fully extinguish the blaze. The fire was the second time the clinic was targeted last year. Someone fired a shotgun at the clinic s doors in January, shattering glass and leaving holes in the reception area. The clinic was closed and unoccupied at the time of the shooting. Officials don t believe the two incidents were related, WVLT-TV says. Flames are seen in Planned P arenthood building in Knoxville, Tennessee on December 31, 2021. Officials say the blaze was a case of arson. The building was being renovated.
