It’s Monday in Milwaukee, and here are some things we think you should know about as the nation grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic. If you would like your event to be considered for this column, please email info@milwaukeenns.org and put “5 things” in the subject line by noon Thursday.

    Last month, the U.S. Census Bureau sent out an additional paper questionnaire to households that haven’t yet responded to the 2020 census. The questionnaires are set to arrive by Tuesday, Sept. 15, but in the meantime, a census taker may visit a household. A household can also respond to the census online or over the phone. The deadline to respond is Wednesday, Sept. 30. Read: Why the census should matter to you and Why the census should continue to matter to you.
