Detroit casinos to reopen, new restrictions Up North

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 66%. (I'm a bot)

LANSING - Gov. Gretchen Whitmer had no announcements Tuesday on when gyms, theaters, bowling alleys and other Michigan businesses that have been closed about six months due to the coronavirus will be allowed to reopen, and said she is "Not going to be bullied" into announcing such changes before it is safe to do so.
"We're going to continue to make decisions based on facts and data," Whitmer said.
Owners of gyms and theaters have been stepping up the pressure for Whitmer to allow them to reopen in central and southern Michigan, as they have been able to do in northern Michigan since June 10.
Asked Tuesday if she was aware of any coronavirus outbreaks in northern Michigan linked to gyms, movie theaters or bowling alleys that have opened lawfully, Whitmer said she was not aware of any off the top of her head. But she said is she aware of outbreaks tied to gyms in lower Michigan that opened without authorization.
Whitmer lifted Michigan's stay-at-home order June 1, but Michigan remains in a state of emergency at least through Sept. 4.Whitmer had hoped to allow central and southern Michigan to join northern Michigan in Phase 5 of her six-phase reopening plan - allowing gyms, theaters and bowling alleys to reopen - before the July 4 holiday.
At the end of July, Whitmer extended the ban on indoor bar service to northern Michigan and reduced the size of groups that could gather indoors Up North to 10, down from 50, to match lower Michigan, while also announcing that Detroit's three casinos could reopen, at 15% capacity, effective Aug. 5.Michigan's barbershops, hair and nail salons, tattoo parlors and other personal service shops reopened June 15 in southern and central Michigan, after reopening June 10 in the Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsula.

Good Morning –
Today’s date is 3/11. Here is what you need to know today.
CORONAVIRUS
Public school systems and universities around the D.C. region are sharing their plans as concerns about the new coronavirus grip the U.S. and the world.
· Loyola University Maryland will be online until April 1
· American University and George Washington University both have put classes online until at least April 5
· University of Maryland and George Mason classes will be online until April 10
· Fairfax County Public Schools are taking off March 16, which will be designated as a staff development day for the school system to prepare for moving classes online
The Maryland congressional delegation spent yesterday talking about the next steps. “The good news is that we have capacity now in our private labs, in our hospitals,” Senator Ben Cardin said. “However, that is gearing up.”
WTOP is keeping a running list of all the cases in the D.C. area — You can get updated statistics here.
THE LOCAL PERSPECTIVE
While coronavirus grips the nation, a sentence came down for the D.C. bus driver that killed the mayor of a small Alaska town and her mother. Gerard James was sentenced to 6 months in prison after the sentence was suspended for three and a half years.
A man who is in prison for life, Lee Boyd Malvo, is now a married man. Malvo was a part of the 2002 sniper spree that terrorized the nation’s capital region. The 35-year-old had been looking to appeal his life in prison sentence up until last month, when the change in law made his appeal a failed effort, no matter the outcome.
In Annapolis, the Maryland senate voted 47-0 for sports betting in six casinos, horse racing tracks potentially at a Washington Redskins stadium. The bill now moves to the House.
A GOOD NIGHT FOR JOE BIDEN
Joe Biden decisively won Michigan’s Democratic presidential primary, seizing a key battleground state that helped propel Bernie Sanders’ insurgent candidacy four years ago. The former vice president’s victory there, as well as in Missouri, Mississippi and Idaho, dealt a serious blow to Sanders and substantially widened Biden’s path to the nomination.
The six-state contest Tuesday marked the first time voters weighed in on the primary since it effectively narrowed to a two-person race between Sanders and Biden. And the first four states on Tuesday went to Biden, a dramatic reversal for a campaign that appeared on the brink of collapse just two weeks ago. Now it is Sanders, whose candidacy was ascendant so recently, who must contemplate a path forward.
“We need you, we want you, and there’s a place in our campaign for each of you. I want to thank Bernie Sanders and his supporters for their tireless energy and their passion,” Biden said. “We share a common goal, and together we’ll beat Donald Trump.”
BEAL DROPS 39
Last night, the Wizards beat the New York Knicks 122-115. Bradley Beal dropped 39 points and 7 assists, while Shabazz Napier added 21 points in 38 minutes. The Wizards move to 24-40 and play the Celtics in Boston on Friday. The Capitals are off until tomorrow when they take on the Detroit Red Wings. Howard University pulled an upset by beating S.C. State 70-63, while Vermont beat UMBC 81-74 to advance to the AEC title game.

Russia passed a bill allowing President Vladimir Putin to stay in power past 2024. The death toll in Iran from the coronavirus climbed to 354, with a total of over 9,000 cases in the country.
