Overwhelmed hospitals in California
California is taking drastic steps because its hospitals are overwhelmed by coronavirus patients. The US military has deployed medical troops to help.

The party in the NJ warehouse was destroyed, the organizers arrested
New Jersey police have arrested a massive party in a warehouse with more than 200 people inside. The Newark assembly was an extreme violation of the 10-person inner limit due to COVID-19 restrictions. The party was held in a warehouse on the Libella Court, where illegal gambling also took place. Police say the hosts of the party also served alcohol without a permit. Two women accused of organizing the event are now facing several charges.

Cuomo promises to fight vaccine fraud
The Cuomo government has announced that anyone who engages in fraud to receive or administer the vaccine outside the criteria set by the NYSDOH will be held liable to the fullest extent by law. Cuomo will issue an executive order to increase penalties for suppliers who intentionally ignore prioritization. Administration to a deliberately ineligible person could result in a penalty of up to $ 1 million for the provider and the revocation of all state licenses.
The vaccination priority population in New York is expanding
The Cuomo government said that those eligible for the vaccine this week are expanding to cover employees of emergency care centers, those administering the vaccine and residents of OASAS facilities. Next week, the criteria will be open to outpatients and public health workers – including those administering COVID tests.
Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine Becomes 5th to Begin Phase 3 Studies in US
A huge study on another candidate for the COVID-19 vaccine begins on Monday, while US states continue to launch rare supplies of the nation’s first shooting options. The US has authorized the emergency use of two vaccines, one produced by Pfizer and BioNTech and the other by Moderna, but the doses will be rationed for months. The candidate made by Novavax Inc. is the fifth to reach final testing in the US. 30,000 volunteers are needed to prove that this vaccine – of a different type than its competitors Pfizer and Moderna – really works and is safe.
Why taking a COVID-19 vaccine does not mean that you should stop wearing a mask
Nearly 2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and more than 9.5 million doses were distributed. While these developments mark a historic moment and hold many promises, that doesn’t mean Americans can stop wearing masks soon. CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen, emergency physician and visiting professor at George Washington University, Milken Institute School of Public Health, explain why.
