\"\"\"\"Zeros locally for positive COVID19 cases from\u00a0Chatham-Kent Public Health<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

No new cases, no recoveries, active cases stay at 17. Two patients have been released from hospital, leaving no locals hospitalized.<\/p>\n

\"\"Chatham-Kent Fire and Emergency Services<\/a> are again warning everyone about safety on the ice.<\/p>\n

\"\"With the changing weather conditions, slippery and unstable banks and extremely cold-water temperatures can lead to dangerous conditions close to any body of water.<\/p>\n

A good reminder with rain and highs of 8 this weekend.<\/p>\n

\n

No ice is considered 100% safe. Ice thickness is NOT consistent, especially with changing weather conditions.<\/p>\n

\"\"The International Olympic Committee<\/a> has announced that the Australian city of Brisbane is the “preferred host” for the 2032 Summer Olympics.<\/p>\n

\"\"The decision to advance the process for the selection of the 2032 Games had been made “given the uncertainty the world is facing right now.”<\/p>\n

The pandemic has thrown preparations for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics<\/a> into chaos. The Games were initially delayed by a year over concerns around the spread of the virus but questions still remain over how the event, scheduled to begin July 23, can be conducted safely in 2021.<\/p>\n

The city’s bid must still be approved by an IOC vote.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"\"\"Hasbro<\/a> just announced they’re making the Mr. Potato Head brand gender-neutral.<\/p>\n

What does that mean? Right now, all of the various Potato Head toys fall under the “Mr. Potato Head” brand name and logo.<\/p>\n

Hasbro is changing that to just “Potato Head,” but they’ll still sell separate versions of Mr. Potato Head and Mrs. Potato Head.<\/p>\n

This news set off a social media frenzy, Hasbro had to clarify the changes in a tweet…<\/p>\n

\n

Hold that Tot \u2013 your main spud, MR. POTATO HEAD isn\u2019t going anywhere! While it was announced today that the POTATO HEAD brand name & logo are dropping the \u2018MR.\u2019 I yam proud to confirm that MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD aren\u2019t going anywhere and will remain MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD pic.twitter.com\/6I84KrxOLQ<\/a><\/p>\n
