But which one became the summer’s second evictee?

Carol Burnett seeking custody of grandson, says daughter struggles with addiction – CNN

Burnett and her husband of nearly 20 years, Brian Miller, recently filed with Los Angeles County Superior Court to be temporary guardians. The teen is the son of Burnett's daughter, Erin Hamilton.

Coronavirus cases so low L.A. may soon try to reopen schools – Los Angeles Times

Despite disturbing numbers of young people dying of COVID-19, Los Angeles County’s chief medical officer said Thursday that new coronavirus cases may soon drop enough to allow officials to apply for waivers to reopen elementary schools. During an online news conference, Dr. Jeffrey Gunzenhauser noted that waivers can be sought to reopen schools when cases are below 200 for every 100,000 people for two weeks. Over the last two weeks, officials have reported 27,739 new cases, which amounts to 275 per 100,000, but Gunzenhauser said that number was steadily dropping. “We do believe we could get down to under 200 in the near future,” he said. The Los Angeles Unified School District resumed classes this week, but instruction was being done remotely. There are extensive requirements for app...
