KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The latest effort to bring the NBA to Kansas City is gaining momentum.With the Toronto Raptors reportedly looking for a temporary home for the upcoming 2020-21 NBA season, Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas, congressional leaders on both sides of the state line, and even Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes have joined the push to bring the 2019 NBA champions to the City of Fountains.“I think it is something that Kansas City will shine at,” Lucas said.City officials and local congressional leaders sent a letter to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver offering the T-Mobile Center in downtown KCMO as a temporary home for the Raptors during the 2020-21 season, which is expected to begin in December."Kansas City is well-suited to host the Toronto Raptors for the 2020-2021 NBA season and our dynamic fans would be thrilled to adopt the team as our own," a letter signed by civic leaders.Lucas signed the letter along with U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, a Missouri Democrat and former KCMO mayor, and three Republican U.S. senators, Roy Blunt from Missouri and both Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran from Kansas. .@tmobilecenter spokesperson tells me group sent formal statement of interest to #NBA in hosting Raptors this upcoming season.— Aaron Ladd (@aaronladd0) October 27, 2020 The temporary relocation is being considered due to travel restrictions put in place by the Canadian government, which has imposed a mandatory 14-day quarantine and other restrictions on U.S. travelers amid the COVID-19 pandemic."Kansas City sports fans are unmatched, already providing an avid fanbase for the Chiefs, the Royals, and Sporting — and would be eager to extend that support to the Raptors," the letter said. "Our T-Mobile Center, a first-class arena located in the heart of downtown, would make a great home for the Raptors as they look to match last season’s impressive winning record."The letter also highlighted Kansas City's "wonderful food, attractions, and entertainment for basketball fans of all ages" along with "the fifth fastest-growing downtown population in the nation, according to the Brookings Institute" and convenient travel options.Two other Toronto professional teams, Major League Baseball's Blue Jays and Major League Soccer's Toronto FC, were forced to find makeshift homes south of the border to compete in 2020.Other cities also are angling to attract the Raptors, if a move becomes necessary, but Kansas City also views the opportunity as an audition of sorts. Bring them to KC! ???? https://t.co/di5r6bIAh7— Patrick Mahomes II (@PatrickMahomes) October 26, 2020 “This to me isn't just about temporary relocation,” Lucas said. “It's about in the future. If there are other teams that are thinking about more permanent relocation, or expansion for the NBA.”The T-Mobile Center last hosted an NBA event on Oct. 13, 2017, a preseason game between the Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers.Oklahoma City temporarily hosted the Hornets franchise in 2005-06 following Hurricane Katrina.After what was viewed as a successful trial run, Oklahoma City was awarded a team three years later when the Seattle SuperSonics relocated for the 2008-09 season.“We're excited to see a situation where people say, ‘Wow, Kansas City has it going on,’" Lucas said. “This helps our community."The NBA is reportedly targeting Dec. 22 as opening day for a shortened 2020-21 season with teams returning to training camp in early December.This story was first reported by Aaron Ladd at KSHB in Kansas City, Missouri. 3559

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Virginia Merritt always wanted to be a mom. “We were like, okay, we’re going to be married for a year, enjoy being newlyweds and then right at a year stopping birth control,” she said, looking at her husband, Dustin Merritt, with a glint in her eye.Virginia and Dusty started “trying” right around their one-year anniversary, exactly as they’d planned. Except, things didn’t go as planned.“Those first few months we knew it was early. Probably the three-month mark is when we were like...hmm, what’s going on,” she said.It seemed like all their friends were having babies. Several members of their family were having babies.They were happy for those announcing births and celebrating babies, but that happiness was muted.They found themselves staying home more. They were sad. They wanted so badly to be parents. 845

Just about anything with a wireless connection could be a target for hackers to attack, including personal computers, tablets and even baby monitors. But what about medical devices?The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is monitoring that, too.Cardiologist Cynthia Tracy, with George Washington University Medical Center, implants pacemakers into people’s bodies almost daily.“In a typical situation, there might be two electrodes that pass through these veins and into the heart,” Tracy explains of the device.The device, which is about the size of silver dollar, controls a patient's heart beat and sends data to doctors by using the internet."They have a Bluetooth connection somehow that allows the device to communicate with something external," Dr. Tracy says.That wireless connection is where the concern comes in.“There's no such thing as a medical device without vulnerabilities,” says Suzanne Scwarts, who leads medical device cyber security for the FDA.Shwarts says after a series of security problems discovered in various medical devices, cyber security is front and center.“We want patients to definitely be able to understand what are current risks today,” Shwarts says.Dr. Tracy explains while security shortcomings may be there, an actual hack to something like a pacemaker would be a bit difficult.“I couldn't from here reprogram someone that's out there in the lobby, Dr. Tracy says."They would have to be fairly close in order for me to do anything to their device."Though there have been no direct hacks to patients to date, the threat is there, which is why the FDA is ramping up its efforts to make sure the hacking of medical devices doesn't become reality. 1689

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Doctors and nurses are celebrating the recovery of a 23-year-old man who spent months in the hospital with a severe COVID-19 infection.In early April, Shakell Avery began feeling some of the COVID-19 symptoms. He went to the emergency room, and within 48 hours, he was on a ventilator fighting for his life due to the virus.After spending months in the hospital, he recovered, thanks to a convalescent plasma donor from New York and medical staff from Menorah Medical Center and Research Medical Center.It's been a celebration ever since his family heard the news their loved one was coming home."You definitely feel the love," Avery said. "It's like they were waiting for a celebrity to come to town."In late June, Shakell's doctors and nurses also celebrated his recovery."As hard as these days have been for some of us on the front line, it's worth it," said Dr. Marjorie Wongs with Menorah Medical Center said. "It makes it worth it."It's a different story from just a few months ago when Avery first contracted the virus.He shared how he felt right before he went to the hospital."I played sports, I played football, and I've never felt body aches like that," Avery said.Ultimately, it was the shortness of breath that worried him and his family."I mean just taking real deep breaths, and I still couldn't get it, and I thought, 'something's wrong,'" Avery said.He spent more than two months at Menorah Medical Center."He had life-threatening COVID-19," Wongs said. "He had severe pneumonia and required a ventilator. He had respiratory failure.""I remember before I went in and then when I woke up at the hospital," Avery said. "I don't really remember much at Menorah."Nurses and staff put up a tent for the family to say hello through the window and draw pictures because they couldn't physically be inside with him at the time.Avery's family said it was such a blessing to see the healthcare staff doing what they could to see their loved one, especially since Avery was in the hospital for a total of 79 days."Initially, you hear two weeks, three weeks," Shakell's mother, Wiletta Avery said. "When he was put on a ventilator, that was the hardest thing for me."Wiletta Avery then heard what no mother wants to hear."On April 11th, 4:30 in the morning, I'll never forget. They call and they're explaining to us that there's nothing they can do for him. He was maxed out on ventilation," Avery's mother said. "At that point they allowed me to go up and see him. And you know, they're not letting people into these hospitals, so when they say, 'You can come up,' you pretty much know what that means as if this will be my last time seeing him."While seeing him, she asked him to do just one thing."I just asked him, I need you to fight for me," she said. "I need you to fight."Wongs said there was a push to get convalescent plasma for Avery, but it wasn't an easy process."We contacted local blood banks; no one had any plasma available. We started looking for donors ourselves," Wongs said. "We even were contemplating flying a donor to another state, to where they could do the collection because we didn't even have collection capabilities in Kansas City until much later."Avery's family members also went to social media, pleading someone who recovered from COVID-19 to help save Shakell's life.They eventually found a donor."We ended up getting a donor from New York City. They were able to ship that plasma to us from the community blood center," Wongs said.They transfused those antibodies into Avery's body."It's experimental. This is the first patient that I had given convalescent plasma to. It's been reported out for other infections, but you know, this was our first patient," Wongs said.And it worked."To see he improved with it was just amazing for us," Wongs said. "I think it is definitely going to be one of the bridging therapies until we get to a vaccine or some sort of a cure. It is definitely one of the first things I go to now in patients that have severe, life-threatening COVID. I know we are using it much more than we were now."Menorah Medical Center and Research Medical Center worked together to make the transfusion happen."We are part of a national clinical trial," Wongs said. "I think we'll have some data that comes out later this summer as to the efficacy of convalescent plasma, but those of us on the ground that are using it, we think the data is going to be promising."Avery was only in his early 20s when he contracted the virus."It's definitely something I don't want anybody to go through," he said. "I just felt real depressed, robbed... like somebody just snatched you out your livelihood."While Avery recovered from the virus, it hasn't been a full overnight recovery."You don't just come home and everything is right back to normal. I had to learn how to walk again, I had to learn how to stand up straight on my own, with no support. I'm still having to learn how to properly get up steps," Avery said. "I used to be active, moving, and now it's just like, everything that you learn that's new, that's second nature to you, you have to relearn. So it's difficult. The fight really ain't over until it's 100 percent over."Avery has a message for young adults his age."When you decide to step outside, no mask, no sanitizer, no care in the world, think about whose father you're taking away from that kid. Think about whose mother you're taking away, whose grandparent, whose daughter, whose son," he said.He said he hopes more people take this virus seriously."Don't think you're invincible, I used to think that," Avery said. "Take this as serious as you would anything else. Take this as serious as life, cause it's that serious."Avery says financially, it's been hard too, as bills didn't stop while he was in the hospital for months and now continues to work on physical therapy.His family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with financial assistance.This story was originally published by Rae Daniel on KSHB in Kansas City. 6012

LA JOLLA, Calif. (KGTV) -- A San Diego couple who met at a Japanese internment camp during World War II, has died this month. The wife succumbed to effects from the coronavirus.To Garrett Yamada, Elizabeth and Joseph were just mom and dad. "My dad loved fish 'n chips and spam, and my mom was into sushi and fine dining," Yamada laughed. But on May 11, Joseph Yamada died after a long battle with dementia. Nine days later, COVID-19 took Elizabeth. They were both 90 years old. "I miss them, but I'm proud of the life they lived," Yamada said. Through struggle and strife, the Yamadas became a prominent San Diego couple. Joseph was a world-renowned landscape architect whose projects included designs for Sea World, UC San Diego, and the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center. Elizabeth was an English teacher who later became a partner at her husband's firm. "They were a wonderful team together," Yamada said.But their love story began behind bars at Poston Japanese Internment Camp in Arizona. Last May, Elizabeth Kikuchi-Yamada shared her story with 10News about her move to the camp as a 12-year-old girl. During her time there, she wrote letters to respected San Diego city librarian, Clara Breed.Breed fought racial injustice by sending books, trinkets, and hope to children locked up in camp. "Clara cared about helping young people know that there was freedom beyond imprisonment. Freedom of the mind to grow. Freedom of the heart to deepen," Elizabeth Yamada said in 2019. It was a story she shared for decades until the virus suddenly took over. "The tragedy with COVID is it separates you physically," her son said. "But her mind was sharp until the very end."The Yamada's were born two days apart in 1930 and died nine days apart in 2020. They were a loving couple, inseparable, both in life and death. "It was God's timing that they go close together," Garrett Yamada said. Unfortunately, the Yamada family says they will not have a service due to COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings. 2006
