Hospital workers celebrate zero Covid-19 patients after more than a year fighting on front lines. “For us nurses, we just are thankful for the vaccine.”

in its Covid-19 unit for a 36-hour period, and as of last Thursday, June 17, the unit had just two Covid-19 patients in its care, said Subhashini Sellers, an assistant professor of medicine at UNC who also practices at UNC Health.

Sellers estimated that her hospital would see 40 to 60 Covid-19 patients at once at the height of the pandemic — a dramatic difference from the hospital’s current numbers. Seeing that many Covid-19 patients at once made her go numb, Sellers said, a feeling she is ready to shed now that things are returning to a sense of pre-pandemic normalcy.

Jeremy Faust, a doctor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, said that as vaccine eligibility expanded to more age groups, he began to see fewer Covid-19 patients on his shifts.

Cero? The virus is gone? Ppl doesn’t have to vaccinate anymore?

What is the rule for parents bringing children to stalk and slander a person? Do the children need to wear a mask, if they haven’t had a vaccine? 😷😷😷

And absolutely no credit to the Republican Party.

Great now they can make twice as many loser tik tok vids

Father of 8 was set to get 2nd vaccine dose, but contracted COVID-19 and diedAmong those is the Ballard family in North Carolina, grappling with the loss of their patriarch. Gordon Ballard, a devoted husband and father of eight who pushed through a lifelong illness to provide for his family, died of COVID-19 on May 17, 2021, his daughter said. The 65-year-old tested positive two weeks earlier, on May 3 -- the same day he was set to get his second vaccine dose. Sounds like a bone marrow transplant might be in order. I never got my bachelor’s degree. I don't understand why people most vulnerable to the virus weren't immediately vaccinated before anybody else. May the creator give your family the strength to get through this most difficult times. May others share this information. The only way to combat any virus is a diet that builds your immune system. Shots do not do this.

White House: 70% of Americans 30 or older get COVID-19 shotWASHINGTON (AP) — More than 70% of Americans age 30 or older have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, the White House said, even as President Joe Biden is set to fall short of reaching his goal of giving a shot to the same percentage of all American adults by Independence Day. Is that because they didn't get the shot or they don't want one? Only the ignorant and backward RED states keep us from herd immunity. Really wish all the red states would join a confederation and leave the United States. They bog us down in Dark Ages ideas and Neanderthal practices. Amazing we got this far with so little help from Republicans. If you want to point out it’s trump’s vaccine that’s fine, but there’s no leadership evidence he’d be anywhere close to this rollout success rate.
