Column: As others look at the big picture with Justin Fields, Chicago Bears OC Luke Getsy is focused on ‘getting better’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:43 GMT

While there’s ample debate about what quarterback Justin Fields can prove over the final seven games of the Chicago Bears season, that chatter isn’t taking place inside the walls of Halas Hall.Yes, coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that seven weeks “is enough time to show consistency,” but Fields and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy are existing only in the here and now — preparing for Sunday’s game at Ford Field against the first-place Detroit Lions.Just as Fields talked Wednesday about a singular focus, Getsy spoke Thursday of that same approach, giving a measured assessment of the situation as Fields returns after missing four games with a dislocated right thumb.The focus on Fields and the remaining slate is understandable, as the Bears will have to choose a path at the end of the season: roll into 2024 with Fields or move on and draft a quarterback in the first round. It seems rather unlikely general manager Ryan Poles would keep Fields and g...

Heavy fighting breaks out around another Gaza hospital after babies evacuated from Shifa

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:43 GMT

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Heavy fighting erupted Monday around a hospital in northern Gaza where thousands of patients and displaced people have been sheltering for weeks, as Israeli forces focus on clearing out medical facilities that they say Hamas militants use for cover.The advance on the Indonesian Hospital came a day after the World Health Organization evacuated 31 premature babies from Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, the territory’s largest, where they were among more than 250 critically ill or wounded patients stranded there days after Israeli forces entered the compound.The plight of Gaza’s hospitals is at the focus of a battle of narratives over the war’s brutal toll on Palestinian civilians, thousands of whom have been killed or buried in rubble since the six-week-old war was sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7 rampage into southern Israel. Israel says Hamas uses civilians as human shields, while critics say Israel’s siege and relentless aerial bombar...

Obviously, we’re happy with the win and you’ll take them, but we’re going to face some really good teams down the stretch and we can’t allow ourselves to keep making those mistake...

European Commission calls for urgent action on antimicrobial resistance

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:43 GMT

Tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a top priority for the Commission and an integral part of many actions under the European Health Union. Ahead of the European Antibiotic Awareness Day (EAAD), new data published today by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) shows some overall progress between 2019-2022 towards the target to cut antimicrobial use by 20% by 2030. Although the overall longer-term use of antibiotics fell across the EU/EEA between 2019 and 2022, consumption increased again in 2022, as many Europeans resumed their pre-COVID-19 pandemic way of life. A study carried out by the OECD, for the European Commission, warns that AMR costs EU/EEA countries around €11.7 billion a year. If every EU/EEA country invested €3.40 per capita annually on AMR interventions in the human health and food sectors, they could prevent more than 10 thousand deaths, avoid over 600 thousand new infections and save more than €2.5 billion for their health systems every...
