EACH DAY, A GIFT

Awake In the morning to the rising sun,

To bed at night like a promise that It’s forever.

All things’ that we do or see or expect each day,

Are a temporary experience In this world to be.

Imagine one day no more will we exist,

Life down here will continue, by some, we shall be missed.

Our spirits’ will move on to some other plane,

Take comfort knowing that we’ll be joined by loved’ ones

On another new day.

Each day, a gift handed down to us from above,

Never knowing how many till we awake no more.

Iowa derecho disaster relief: No financial aid for homeowners, farmers

Gov. Kim Reynolds’ request for $82.7 million to cover the 8,273 homes that were damaged or destroyed was not approved. Neither were her requests for $3.77 billion for agriculture damage to farm land, grain bins and buildings and $100 million for private utilities repair.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency and Reynolds said teams are still assessing damage to determine if the state is eligible for more assistance. It could be another week before individual assistance is approved, acting secretary of homeland security, Chad Wolf, said at a roundtable with Trump in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday.

Government Wants COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Ready by November : US News : Latin Post – Latin news, immigration, politics, culture (Just say no to politics before safety)

FDA and other top government said only science and data will be taken into account in deciding if a vaccine is accepted.

Peter Marks, the director of FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said on Thursday that he had faced no political pressure to release a vaccine without sufficient data on its safety and efficacy.

Marks added that he would resign if that happened.

FDA said it might release the first vaccine as an Emergency Use Authorization rather than the full licensing process, adding that if that has enough data on safety and efficacy.
