The U.S. could soon be giving at least a million COVID-19 vaccinations a day. This would be a major shift from the current speed which has been described as a sluggish start. Dr. Anthony Fauci warned of a dangerous next few weeks as the coronavirus surges. The slow pace is frustrating health officials and a desperate public alike, says HuffPost. Only about a third of the first supplies shipped to states have been used as of Tuesday morning. This is just over three weeks into the vaccination campaign.
The Transportation Security Administration screened 1,284,599 people in airports nationwide on Sunday. That is the most since the COVID-19 pandemic's start, says Business Insider. Sunday was also the sixth day in the last 10 that the TSA screened more than 1 million travelers. More than 63,000 Americans died of COVID-19 in December. December 2020 is now the deadliest month of the pandemic. Anthony Fauci said the pandemic will most likely get worse over the next few weeks due to high holiday travel.
One in four air samples collected from hospital intensive care units tested positive for COVID-19. The virus particles linger after they treat infected patients, says UPI. 450 air samples were obtained "from close patient environments" and were evaluated. Just over 17% tested for virus contamination came back positive, the data showed. The highest virus concentrations were found in toilets and bathrooms at 25%. Staff areas and public hallways were also high and should be "carefully considered" for stronger cleaning.
Carrie Ann Inaba, the beloved "Dancing With the Stars" judge says she has tested positive for Covid-19. She told fans via Instagram: "I'm home with some symptoms and will be sequestering as per the CDC guidelines". She went on to say; "so, this is a friendly reminder to be extra careful this holiday season." In a video accompanying her IG post, Inaba said she is experiencing a fever, bad cough and body aches. Inaba added: "You don't want this". Inaba most recently appeared on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" for the season finale, which aired live on November 24.
