¡¡¡¡In post-Brexit Britain, trips to the European Union will get a little more expensive for millions of Brits in search of a continental break.The European Commission confirmed on Friday that UK travelers will be required fill out an online form and cough up €7 (.90) for visa-free travel, which will be valid for three years.Natasha Bertaud, a spokeswoman for the commission's President Jean-Claude Juncker, likened the "simple form" to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) scheme used by the United States -- which requires travelers to pay to apply for permission to enter the country.She also pointed out that the EU's version, called ETIAS, will be "way cheaper."But this all comes with a major caveat. If the UK crashes out of the EU with no agreement in place, Brits will be required to get a visa to travel to the EU, a commission spokeswoman told Reuters on Friday.ETIAS, which is expected to come into force in 2021, will apply to countries outside the EU whose citizens can currently travel in Europe visa free. There are currently 61 such countries, including the United States, Israel and Singapore.It will cover the so-called Schengen group of 26 European countries that share largely open land borders.The electronic visa waiver system was conceived to "identify any security or irregular migratory risks posed by visa-exempt visitors traveling to the Schengen area while at the same time facilitate crossing frontiers for the vast majority of travelers who do not pose such risks,"?according to the commission. 1554
¡¡¡¡INDIANAPOLIS ¡ª It has been quite a journey for Kari Wegg.She had been working tirelessly as a NICU nurse at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis for more than 25 years when she found herself fighting for her own life with COVID-19 in that very same hospital.¡°It¡¯s devastating. I never thought something like this could happen to me,¡± Wegg said. ¡°It¡¯s been so hard because I was healthy, and I thought if I ever got it, I would be fine.¡±Wegg first got sick in June and diagnosed with pneumonia. Then in July, she, her husband and two children tested positive for the coronavirus.¡°I do work in a hospital,¡± she said. ¡°My husband also works in a hospital. It¡¯s very possible we got it from the hospital.¡±Her family had mild symptoms and recovered quickly. However, Wegg did not.¡°It¡¯s been since July since I¡¯ve seen my boys., and I haven¡¯t been able to hug them or love on them, and they miss me so much,¡± Wegg said.Wegg was put on a heart and lung bypass machine on Aug. 19. She says her doctors discussed removing care.¡°Their dad had to sit down and tell them their mother might die, and they¡¯ve had to try and cope with that,¡± she said.But Wegg says her husband wouldn¡¯t give up. Calls were made, and she was transferred to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago on Sept. 5 for a double lung transplant.Northwestern was the first hospital in the country to perform a double lung transplant on a COVID-19 paitnet, and Wegg was only the sixth such patient to undergo the surgery.¡°I am eternally grateful to the family of my donors,¡± Wegg said. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything about them or how they died but they gave me the gift of life.¡±Grateful to be alive, but devastated financially with non-stop medical bills, she suffers in her bed, while her fellow healthcare workers continue the fight. Wegg says she even has coworkers who have died of the virus.Wegg says she's praying that more people take the virus seriously."I¡¯m hoping my message as a nurse who didn¡¯t expect any of this can get out there and bring it home to people who don¡¯t necessarily want to wear a mask or want to isolate themselves or quarantine," Wegg said. "This is real.¡±Wegg's sister has launched a GoFundMe to help cover the family's mounting medical costs.

¡¡¡¡INDIANAPOLIS -- A man's quick reaction spared him from serious injury or even death after a chunk of concrete was thrown from an overpass on I-465 and shattered his windshield.Alan Cox was driving his Honda SUV on I-465 northbound Wednesday afternoon. He said he saw three men on the overpass as he approached the Pendleton Pike exit. Cox said he could tell they were up to no good, especially when he noticed one throwing something into moving traffic and in his direction."I knew he was going to throw something so I veered to the left a little. He nailed me. If I veered over to the left -- dead center to the chest," Cox said.A chunk of concrete hit Cox's windshield on passenger side and left the interior of his SUV covered in glass"People get killed. I'm fortunate to be here. This can be fixed," Cox said.If something like this should happen to you, police ask that you safely pull over to the side of the road, immediately call them and provide the mile marker. If you have a description of the suspect(s), provide that as well. 1102
