Hey there, it’s Friday, and working on Navy Pier during January reminds me of that ’80s movie Night of the Comet . Here’s what you need to know today. (PS: You can have this delivered to your inbox by subscribing here.)

1. Coronavirus reaches Chicago

A Chicago resident has been diagnosed with a deadly new strain of coronavirus, the second reported case in the U.S.

The resident, a woman in her 60s, remained hospitalized today, and her condition has stabilized, according to the head of the Chicago Department of Public Health. The woman traveled to the city of Wuhan in China in late December when the pneumonia-like virus broke out.

Chicago officials said the woman was not contagious while she traveled. She had limited close contact at her home and did not take public transportation nor attend large gatherings. [WBEZ]

Meanwhile in China, at least 25 people have died from the virus as it has spread to more than 800 confirmed cases. [AP]

How serious is the new strain of coronavirus? The CDC says the risk to the American public is “low,” and Chinese health officials do not consider the virus as severe as SARS. [NPR]

2. Democrats to wrap up their opening arguments in Trump’s impeachment trial

Democratic prosecutors today are making their final arguments for removing President Donald Trump, focusing on the second article of impeachment that claims Trump obstructed the House’s investigation into his dealings with Ukraine. [NPR]

Here’s a look at how House impeachment managers and Trump’s legal team are playing to the American public as the Senate trial unfolds. [NPR]

Meanwhile, a recording obtained by ABC News appears to capture Trump telling associates he wanted to fire then-U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.

Among those associates was Lev Parnas, reports ABC News, which appears to contradict Trump’s claims that he did not know Parnas. [ABC News]

3. Trump threatens to cut federal funds to California over abortion coverage

California could lose federal funding because of a state requirement that insurance companies cover abortions, the Trump administration warned today.

The administration gave California 30 days to comply with a federal ban on discriminating against entities that refuse to cover abortions or refer patients for the procedure when taxpayer dollars are involved.

The news came as President Trump spoke to demonstrators at the anti-abortion March for Life, becoming the first president to do so. [AP]

Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos compared abortion rights to slavery. [Politico]

4. Yup, it’s definitely winter

Looks like some nasty weather is heading our way. Rain could turn into a snowstorm tonight, and the Chicago area could see anywhere between 2 to 6 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

There is “some uncertainty” over where the most snowfall will occur, but the weather service believes northern Illinois will bear the brunt of the storm. [Chicago Tribune]

WBEZ’s Curious City talked to experts, like mail carriers and outdoor writers, to see what tips they have for staying warm. Among their recommendations? Bengay and plastic bags. [WBEZ]

5. RIP Nancy Drew

The beloved teen detective is celebrating her 90th anniversary by being killed off and having the Hardy Boys solve her mysterious death. That’s the gist of an upcoming comic book, Nancy Drew & the Hardy Boys: The Death of Nancy Drew.

It’s not clear if Nancy Drew’s death is real or just another soap-opera-esque freakout, but as pop culture site Polygon notes, “killing off a female character and handing her job to two young men isn’t a great look.” [Polygon]

Here’s what else is happening

• The Pentagon said 34 troops suffered traumatic brain injuries from this month’s Iranian missile attack. [AP]

• Tens of thousand of Iraqis marched through Baghdad for the ouster of American troops. [AP]

• Cook County Health leaders could lose nearly $6 million in severance pay. [WBEZ]

• Someone stole weed out of an “amnesty box” at Midway airport. [Chicago Sun-Times]

Oh, and one more thing …

Looking for something to listen to this weekend? Here’s some shows you might have missed this week.

Fresh Air interviewed the two Washington Post reporters who wrote the new book A Very Stable Genius, which offers an inside look into the Trump White House and portrays Trump as “dangerously uninformed.” [NPR]

Meanwhile, The Daily this week analyzed “Megxit,” the decision by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to step down as full-time royals, and how it relates to Britain’s decision to leave the European Union. [WBEZ]

And if you’re looking for a book to read, WBEZ’s Nerdette has a new book club. Up first is Kiley Reid’s Such a Fun Age, which looks at class and race in America. [WBEZ]

Tell me something good …

What’s your favorite sitcom?

Steve writes:

“I think The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel qualifies as a sitcom. Anyway, it has become my favorite as well as my whole family’s favorite show on TV right now. It’s not just the funniest show anywhere, it also stars actors from the Chicago area, which is fantastic! In fact Rachel Brosnahan went to Highland Park High School, right next to me.”

And Christine writes:

“My all-time favorite sitcom is SEINFELD. I have watched every episode back in the ’90s and continue to watch the reruns. They still make me laugh every time! One of the best comedy sitcoms ever. Love the whole cast, especially Kramer.”
