Disneyland reopened on Friday and cruise lines welcomed the news that they could be sailing again in the U.S. by midsummer, as the number of Americans fully vaccinated against COVID-19 reached another milestone: 100 million.

Visitors cheered and screamed with delight as the Southern California theme park swung open its gates for the first time in 13 months in a powerful symbol of the U.S. rebound, even though the self-proclaimed Happiest Place on Earth is allowing only in-state guests for now and operating at just 25% capacity.

Thirty-nine per cent of the nation's adult population has been fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Over 55% of adults have received at least one dose, up from 30% a month ago. Wen noted that Fauci has estimated 70% to 85% of the U.S. population needs to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity.

CDC officials also reported Friday that it was anxiety -- not a problem with the shots -- that caused fainting, dizziness and other reactions reported in 64 people at vaccine clinics in five states in early April. None got seriously ill. "The voices of community leaders and the wider cruise community are being heard -- and we are very grateful for that," said Laziza Lambert, spokeswoman for the Cruise Lines International Association.In other travel news, the Transportation Security Administration extended a requirement that passengers on planes, trains and buses wear masks. The rule was set to expire May 11 but will now run through Sept. 13.

More perilous phase ahead for Biden after his 1st 100 daysJoe Biden's presidency is entering a new and more perilous phase where he is almost certain to face stiffer Republican opposition and also have difficulty keeping Democrats united as he pushes for US$4 trillion in additional spending on programs that have echoes of the New Deal and the Great Society. '🗣️JOEY🙈STRIKES🙊AGAIN🙉' Why are children still locked up in cages mr president. Biden might be the darling of the leftists in Canada, but he is still a US president.
