How Long Could You Survive On Only a Pound of Bread Per Day?

Description

The Siege of Leningrad has become a symbol of the endurance of the Soviet people. They were fully surrounded by Nazi forces in 1941 when the city's last road connection was severed. After 872 days of bombings, starvation, and extreme cold, the siege was finally lifted, but up to 1.5 million lives were lost.

Day-Old Bread Discount? How Non-Priority People Are Getting The COVID-19 Jab

Across the country, some non-healthcare workers are getting their COVID-19 vaccines earlier than expected. In a scattershot practice, non-priority people are getting vaccinated ahead of schedule when pharmacies have extra doses thawed that must be used. Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines need to be stored at cold temperatures and used within hours of thawing. Business Insider reports the phenomenon occurs when vaccine providers must either throw out extra doses when they expire or give them to random people. In other instances, confusion about the amount of doses per vial and rumors of excess supply have led to mishaps in vaccine allocation. The US federal government hasn't specified what should be done when there are more thawed doses than eligible recipients.
