Hogan still puzzled by delay in approval for Maryland National Guard assistance during Capitol riot | TheHill

“So, our Guard mobilized and was ready. But we couldn’t actually cross over the border into D.C. without the OK. And that was quite some time. We kept running it up the flagpole, our generals talking to the National Guard generals.

The seven centres were chosen to give a geographical spread covering as many people as possible and are capable of delivering thousands of jabs per week, NHS England has said.

Israel’s massive vaccine drive isn’t keeping up with new cases — especially among younger victims

For the first time since the pandemic started, Israel now says more than a quarter of its most serious Covid-19 cases, where hospitalization is required, are in patients under the age of 60.

The Israeli Ministry of Health is placing the blame squarely on a new strain first discovered in the United Kingdom last month.

Dr. Itamar Grotto, the associate director-general of the Israeli Ministry of Health explained: “This is because the new U.K. variant is more infectious, mainly among young people and children.”
