Only 63% Of People Have Responded To The 2020 Census

INDIANAPOLIS—Census takers across the country this week have begun following up with households who have yet to respond to the 2020 census.

So far more than 90 million households have responded to the census either via phone, mail or online and last month census takers had started gathering information door-to-door in some areas. Now 500,000 employees are checking with about 56 million households across the country on their responses.

The census determines how many seats a state will hold in Congress and how much funding they will receive for health care, schools, jobs, roads and bridges. For the first time, though, the census can be done over the phone or online as well as by mail.

Emails will be sent by the Census Bureau to people in communities with a less than 50% response rate urging them to respond to the census as soon as possible to ensure census takers will have less households to visit when collecting responses.

In a joint statement with the Centers for Disease Control, the Census Bureau laid out protocols for census takers to ensure everyone’s safety. Precautions include wearing a mask, social distancing, washing and sanitizing hands, and ensuring all interviews take place outside of a house. All residents are recommended to follow the guidelines as they talk to census takers as well.

In order to reach more people, the bureau has launched an advertisement campaign that will include 45 different languages. English and 12 others will be most used for print, television commercials, radio and other outdoor media while 21 other languages will be covered in print ads in newspapers, as well as 11 languages used for online search support.

The campaign began Aug. 3 and will run through Sept. 27. There has been $700 million in funding the public education and outreach of this project that will include more than 1,000 ads.

The 2020 census deadline to submit responses in Sept. 30, but the Census Bureau is urging everyone to get their responses in as soon as possible.

Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” August 16, 2020

Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” August 16, 2020

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

THE JOYS OF AUGUST By Jim Redwine

THE JOYS OF AUGUST

I got up at 5 a.m. this morning and smiled at that teenager who had to threaten himself to get out of bed for a 6:00 a.m. two-a-day football practice a few years ago. Ah, the joy of putting on cold, smelly, sweaty pads from the previous day’s 6:00 p.m. practice and stumbling over to the field to be greeted by Draculas disguised as coaches. “Hurry up! Git with it! We’re burning daylight here and it is already nearing 90 degrees.” This was the refrain from the Knute Rockne wannabes who had a vision of our high school team being immortalized in the pantheon of pigskin glory.

Actually, my senior year at Pawhuska Oklahoma High School our coaches devised three August weeks of three-a-day practices: full contact pads from 6:00-8:00 a.m. then skull practice from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. followed by limited contact and play drills from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Out of an overdose of humanity they only required wind sprints at the end of the evening session.

These pleasant memories arose early this morning after I heard that numerous colleges and several major conferences such as the Big Ten and Pac-12 had cancelled their 2020 football seasons due to ’Ole 19. My first selfish thought was why hadn’t that happened before my fellow galley slaves and I had to crawl out of bed before the sun got up. My next selfish thought was I sure hope the whole country’s football season is not lost. Peg and I are rabid fans of high school and college football, not so much pro. We have spent hundreds of enjoyable hours in front of a big screen TV sipping beverages and eating guacamole as we watch young men risk their bodies and psyches for our entertainment. And the best part for me is, no wind sprints. Getting out of bed at 5:00 a.m. does not cause the angst it did when I was sixteen but I am fairly sure my attempt at running forty yards now would not be pretty.

Our son and two of our grandsons played high school football but they have matriculated onto other pursuits. Still, we enjoy watching and cheering on other young athletes who have shown the character to endure the month of August and drill sergeants passing for coaches. Of course, each school and each parent and each athlete must have the right to decide these issues for themselves. And if Peg and I have to forego a season of football we completely understand and support whatever decisions others make. After all, for us it’s entertainment. For others it could be something else. 

Regardless, at least now when 5:00 a.m. rolls around and I am lying there wide awake I know all that awaits me is a cup of coffee. And instead of putting up with coaches who make Captain Ahab look saintly all I have to put up with are the prattling heads of cable news.
