Coronavirus: California vaccination totals and each county tier level as of Feb. 23

As of Tuesday, Feb. 23, the California Department of Public Health’s Vaccine Dashboard shows about 10.3 million doses have been shipped throughout the state (1.6 million more than last week) and of those, 7.5 million have been administered (up 1.1 million from last week).

According to Bloomberg’s COVID vaccine dashboard, 13.9% of California’s population has received at least one shot and 5.2% are fully vaccinated. California has the highest daily rate of doses administered in the country at 207,374. The second-highest rate belongs to Florida with 128,568.

Los Angeles (1.85 million), San Diego (724,683) and Orange (635,285) counties have administered the most doses to date in California. About 99% of the data is recorded by the patient’s county of residence.

Current tier assignments

In California, 47 of its 58 counties are in the purple tier (considered widespread risk), two counties are in the orange tier (moderate risk) and nine are in the red tier (substantial risk), according to the state’s four-tier coronavirus tracking system.

Trinity County moved from the orange tier to the more restrictive red tier since that last report; 52 of California’s counties were in the purple tier in the last report.

On Nov. 24, the state had 41 counties in purple, 11 counties in red, four in orange, two in yellow.

Counties are assigned to a tier based on metrics showing the speed and the spread of the virus in their borders.

World Bank fury as Lebanon MPs jump vaccine queue

BEIRUT: Lebanese politicians have been accused of jumping the queue for the coronavirus vaccine, with the World Bank on Tuesday joining a chorus of condemnation and threatening to suspend its multi-million-dollar backing for the country’s vaccination drive.

The controversy erupted after some MPs secretly received the COVID-19 jab in the parliament building — despite not being in priority groups.

Allegations of favoritism mounted after it was revealed President Michel Aoun and his wife were inoculated last Friday by a medical team sent to the Baabda Palace.

The claims added to widespread frustration among Lebanese over delays and breaches of the vaccination campaign.

World Bank regional director Saroj Kumar Jha tweeted that if the allegations were shown to be true, “it would be a breach of the national plan.”

He warned that the bank may suspend financing for vaccines and support for the country’s coronavirus response.

“I appeal to all, I mean all, regardless of your position, to please register and wait for your turn,” Jha added.

Myanmar Anti-Coup Protesters Return to Streets After Observing General Strike | Voice of America – English

Protesters in Myanmar took part in yet another day of demonstrations against the country’s military junta Tuesday, although in much smaller numbers than the massive turnout in many cities and towns seen the previous day.   An angry crowd of demonstrators gathered in front of the Indonesian embassy in Yangon following reports Jakarta is seeking support from other member countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) for a plan that would hold the junta to its promise of new elections within a year. The protesters demanded that Indonesia respect the results of last November’s elections, won in a landslide by deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy.  In Jakarta, Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Teuku Faizasyah denied the reports, telling media Tuesday that it “is not Indonesia’s position at all to support a new election in Myanmar.” Teuku said Indonesia is consulting with its fellow ASEAN members to reach a consensus before a special meeting on the situation in Myanmar.
