Dressed in a blue nurse's uniform, Grace has Asian features, collar-length brown hair and a thermal camera in her chest to take your temperature and measure your responsiveness. She uses artificial intelligence to diagnose a patient and can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Grace's resemblance to a healthcare professional and capacity for social interaction is aimed at relieving the burden of front-line hospital staff overwhelmed during the pandemic, said founder David Hanson. Awakening Health intends to mass-produce a beta version of Grace by August, said David Lake, chief executive of the joint venture between Hanson Robotics and Singularity Studio, and there are plans to fully deploy her next year in locations including Hong Kong, mainland China, Japan and Korea.

Grace's launch comes as the global impact of the coronavirus has made the need for humanoid robots urgent, said Kim Min-Sun, a communicology professor at the University of Hawaii.

Oklahoma may throw out thousands of COVID-19 vaccines as demand dropsOklahoma may throw out tens of thousands of vaccines as vaccination rates drop from 8,000 shots per day to 4,500 per day, according to the state health department. We need more of our southern states to get on board with the vaccine lottery. Anything that can encourage vaccinations is great. In my own home state, only about a third have been vaccinated. Our pastors need to step up and encourage people. What a waste! If nobody wants them here I'm certain countries in Latin America would greatly appreciate these vaccines. Why can't our government work together during all of this? Stay away from Oklahoma!

New York City planning 'huge' concert as COVID-19 cases continue to dropMore than a year after COVID-19 ravaged the Big Apple, New Yorkers will be treated to a major celebratory bash in Central Park. No Buenos 🙃😷 It's very disturbing how the democrat media (MSNBC, NBC, CBS, CNN, WaPo, NYT) are complicit in disinformation & cover up the true origin of COVID. Our press is no longer a legitimate source for honest reporting. They destroyed themselves from within in an effort to take out Trump You all deserve this following hard times ever.
