There's been a mix of news on the coronavirus lately, but the most pertinent is the surge in cases affecting Colorado hospitals. Colorado is now the state with the 14th highest COVID-19 transmission rate, and hospitals are feeling the strain.
ICU wards are at a breaking point as they hover at over 90% capacity.
In a move designed to reduce transmission across the country, the Biden administration released a plan to distribute COVID-19 vaccines to kids aged 1 to 5, pending the vaccine's approval for use.
The FDA recommended booster shots for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for everybody 18 and older to shore up protection.
