The US has run one of the most successful Covid-19 vaccination campaigns in the world. States have administered more than 290 million jabs and 62% of adults have received at least one dose. The country is swimming in vaccines—so much so, in fact, that experts are warning it may lead to more wastage as supply begins to significantly outstrip demand.
The Tulsa Race Massacre left a mark on Oklahoma and on the United States as a permanent consequence of discrimination and racism. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the tragedy. The thriving community of Black Wall Street was targeted and burned to the ground. Many of its residents killed by mobs of white residents, many of them deputized and handling weapons given to them by city officials.
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Lifted restrictions and the state’s reopening sound like the end of the pandemic but scientists say North Carolina is far from it.
RALEIGH – If people stop wearing masks and vaccination efforts decline, the number of new infections from COVID-19 in Wake County alone will soar to more than 2,000 a day a year from now. However, new infections will drop to less than 200 if preventive are maintained. So warn researchers at three of the state’s major universities in a new study.
New data and models offer additional insights into how COVID-19 will affect North Carolina in the coming months. The work includes an interactive platform that offers statewide or county-level projections of how changes in risk reduction efforts – such as mask use – and the increase in more infectious variants of COVID-19 could affect the spread of COVID in North Carolina.
