A 7-year-old boy from Westchester County is the second child in New York state to die from pediatric multi-symptom inflammatory syndrome tied to COVID-19 since the pandemic began.

The childhood ailment has affected at least 73 children in New York state and authorities are now looking for other potential cases across the country.

You want something sleek, designy, yet simple because after all, it’s really just a trash can. This is an excellent one.

It’s not going out on much of a limb to say that the single greatest line in any rock and roll song—shall we double down and say all music ever?—is “A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop-a-lomp-bom-bom!!”

Surely that says it all.
