Time for a change to America, on our clocks and watches

Read full article: Time for a change to America, on our clocks and watches

Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. local time Sunday, Nov. 1, 2020, when clocks are set back one hour. The clock is running out once more for daylight saving time. Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and most of Arizona don’t observe daylight saving time. Florida lawmakers and the governor approved a switch to year-round daylight saving time in 2018 but the change requires congressional approval, which has been slow in coming. “Well, it is my hope that Sunday will be the last time we have to do this ridiculous changing of the clocks back and forth,” Rubio said last year.

WASHINGTON WASHINGTON (AP) Ten long weeks after a massive coronavirus outbreak sidelined one of the Navy's signature warships, the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt has returned to sea and is conducting military operations in the Pacific region. So I thought it was appropriate, said Sardiello, who asked one of the other Navy ships to borrow their flag. She had tested positive for the virus and was in quarantine for about five weeks.

Those include up to 14 sailors who recently tested positive again, just days after getting cleared to return to the carrier. Once at sea, the crew will conduct carrier qualifications for the flight-deck crew, including fighter jet take-offs and landings. After about two weeks, the carrier plans to return to Guam to pick up healthy sailors who have finished quarantine and then return to sea. All 14 had previously tested positive for the virus and had gone through at least two weeks of isolation. Brett Crozier was fired for urging his commanders to take faster action to stem the virus outbreak onboard.
