CoVID cases plunged to a 7-month-low this week as millions of Americans are vaccinated every single day; raising new hopes the country can return to our pre-pandemic way of life within months.
“The vaccines are turning the tide in America’s battle with the coronavirus. Deaths and serious illnesses have dropped significantly, and now cases are falling too — an important piece of protection for the future, if we can keep it up,” reports Axios.
SIGN OF HOPE: 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽 Health authorities in the United Kingdom reported a single COVID death in the last 24 hours and 105 deaths in the last week. https://t.co/jjJWTfWA9D #covid19 #covid19deaths #abc7ny #news #goodnews pic.twitter.com/kprRqyV0XK

More than 50% of US adults have received partial vaccinations and 41% are fully inoculated. That population in addition to the number of Americans who contracted the disease means the country could reach “herd immunity” faster than anticipated.
Despite the positive developments in the US, other countries -particularly India and Brazil- are being ravaged by the illness.
Officials in India reported 4,000 virus-related fatalities in less than 24 hours but health experts believe that figure could be closer to 40,000 in just one day.

'ROUTINE ERROR': 6,700 North Carolina Residents ‘Incorrectly Told They Have Coronavirus’ via Text
Nearly 7,000 residents in North Carolina were told via text message last week that they tested positive for the Coronavirus despite not actually having contracted the disease.
“More than 6,700 individuals in Mecklenburg County in North Carolina were told in a text message sent from Mecklenburg County Health Department on Friday that they tested positive for COVID-19 and over 500 people were told through a county email that they were also infected with the novel coronavirus. But the results were incorrect due to a technical error by Health Space, the company they use for contact tracing, according to a statement on the county’s website,” reports Fox News.
“An error during routine maintenance last Friday resulted in a county data vendor sending erroneous texts and email messages to people saying they were positive for COVID-19,” the statement on the county website said.
“Very quickly we began to work with the vendor to understand the issue and make sure that it did not continue. Once corrected we were told that 6,727 text messages and 541 emails were sent to individuals who were already in their system. We then worked with the vendor to send a corrected text/email to all that received the erroneous one,” the email stated in part.
