NEW YORK (AP) – The Grammys are postponed. The Recording Academy says it will delay the Grammy Awards from Jan. 31 until March because of a surge in coronavirus infections. The ceremony will be staged at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, with Trevor Noah as host. An average of six people die every hour from COVID-19 in Los Angeles County. Health officials are concerned about another wave of infections from gatherings for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
