Delta Variant Risks at School
<p>This week's episode was about the delta variant risks at school along with a coronavirus update. I also talked about vaccinations and the struggle to get the vaccine dose. As the numbers of <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/coronavirus/what-we-know-about-coronavirus-cases-in-north-texas-around-the-state/2335449/">COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations surge</a>, so has demand for the coronavirus vaccine. <a href="https://tabexternal.dshs.texas.gov/t/THD/views/COVID-19VaccineinTexasDashboard/Summary?%3Aorigin=card_share_link&%3Aembed=y&%3AisGuestRedirectFromVizportal=y" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">According to data from the Texas Department of State Health Services</a>, personnel administered more than 50% more doses of the vaccine last week than they had a month ago. Statewide, vaccines administered dipped to a post-March low of 314,614 the week of June 28. Last week, 475,131 people got the shot -- an increase of 51%. Vaccination across North Texas' four largest counties have largely mirrored those statewide. The raw number of vaccinations hit a low point the week of July 12, according to DSHS. But since then, the rate has steadily increased. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly led to the climbing vaccination rate, but it has coincided with the surge of the delta variant, which <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/a-new-little-understood-coronavirus-variant-has-arrived-in-dallas/2718090/">UT Southwestern says makes up 95% of new COVID-19 in Dallas-Fort Worth</a>, the start of school in many Texas districts and the vaccine mandates put in place by some employers. Several healthcare systems in North Texas, including <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/coronavirus/baylor-scott-white-requiring-covid-19-vaccines-for-all-employees/2697559/">Baylor Scott & White</a>, <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-health-resources-will-make-covid-19-vaccines-mandatory/2700830/">Texas Health</a> and <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/coronavirus/parkland-hospital-to-require-covid-19-vaccines-after-fda-approval/2708238/">Parkland</a>, will require employees to be vaccinated by this fall, <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/business/money-report/united-airlines-will-require-its-67000-u-s-employees-to-get-vaccinated-a-first-for-u-s-carriers/2710768/">as will United Airlines</a>, which has a major hub in Houston. While the state breaks down total shots given by first and second dose and the age range of those receiving them, it's unclear who has received the most recent vaccines because those numbers are not broken down by week. Dallas County saw the largest increase among the region's four largest counties. The vaccinations jumped 67.6% the week of July 12, from 28,280 to 47,394.</p> <p>To read more about these statistics, here are some sources for information:</p> <p>https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/coronavirus/as-delta-variant-surges-so-does-demand-for-vaccine-in-texas/2719900/</p> <p>https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/texas-local-school-officials-stick-with-mask-mandate-despite-court-setback-2021-08-16/</p> <p><br></p>

TX Governor Greg Abbott BANS Mask Mandate & Abortions
<p>Hello, in today's episode, I talked about the Texas governor, Greg Abbott, banning mask mandates and banning abortions after six weeks. On May 18, Abbott signed an executive order that bans government entities in the state from requiring face masks. He specifically said in his CNBC interview, “Anybody can wear a mask if they want to. It’s just that it’s a decision to be made by Texans, not to be forced by government,” the Republican told CNBC. Local governments or officials that implement mandatory masks can be fined up to $1,000 for doing so. On May 19, Governor Abbott signed legislation banning abortions in the state as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, a measure slammed by critics as one of the strictest and most extreme measures in the nation and hailed by antiabortion supporters as a landmark achievement. The Texas bill known as S.B. 8, described as a “heartbeat ban” abortion measure, prohibits the procedure the moment a fetal heartbeat has been detected. By banning abortion after the six-week mark, many women in Texas who are not even aware they are pregnant will not be allowed to get the procedure done in the state. The bill, which goes into effect Sept. 1, does not include exceptions for women impregnated as a result of rape or incest but offers a provision for medical emergencies. </p> <p>Learn about Governor Abbott forcefully removing the mask mandate & imposing fines - https://tinyurl.com/6haxsjae </p> <p>Watch and learn about Greg Abbott signing the abortion bill - https://tinyurl.com/4b47c7h6</p> <p>The Official Texas Abortion Bill, S.B. 8 - https://tinyurl.com/y8anv8uk </p> <p>Learn more about the Abortion Bill - https://tinyurl.com/42csr98s</p> <p>Thank you for listening!</p>

India's Coronavirus Massive Outbreak: Donate to help India get necessary resources!
<p>India is experiencing the <strong>world's worst coronavirus outbreak</strong>. Currently, India has a total of 23.7 million Covid-19 cases and has reached a death toll of approximately 260,000 people; over the past two weeks, 5.3 million new cases have been reported. Grieving families are struggling to keep themselves and their loved ones safe amid an overwhelmed health care system, and medical workers are stretched thin as some hospitals are running out of oxygen and supplies. Recent Covid-19 infections are increasing in India causing severe damage affecting the largely rural and urban population. As of right now, around 38.2 million people have been fully vaccinated but that is only 2.8% of the country's massive population. The nation's healthcare system is overburdened, leaving many families without access to medical services. Millions of families' livelihoods and vital food sources are being impaired by the lockdown or fear of going out in the open due to the virus spreading rapidly. The Here to Help Foundation is a non-profit student-run youth organization created to provide beneficial classes using our members' skills and expertise to donate towards salvaging India's Covid-19 outbreak damage. The coronavirus effect on India is terrible and we want to help by doing as much as we can to help with the struggle. We provide fun camps while volunteering our time, effort, and energy to our community in the hope that we can collect as much as possible to donate. <strong>Sign your children up for our helpful, fun summer camps and please donate to our "Save India" campaign with </strong><strong>Vibha</strong>, thank you for supporting our mission!</p> <p>Donate to "Save India Of Coronavirus" Campaign - https://campaigns.vibha.org/campaigns/save-india-of-coronavirus?framed=true </p> <p>Helpful sources to learn about India's current situation - </p> <p>https://www.npr.org/2021/05/11/995446333/this-government-has-failed-us-anger-rises-in-india-over-pm-modis-covid-response </p> <p>https://www.reuters.com/world/india/india-adds-311170-daily-coronavirus-infections-cross-24-mln-2021-05-16/</p> <p>https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-indias-second-covid-19-surge-is-much-worse-than-its-first-11621071001?cx_testId=3&cx_testVariant=cx_2&cx_artPos=0&mod=WTRN#cxrecs_s</p> <p>Thank you so much for listening to this episode, <u><strong>please donate to help India</strong></u>!</p>
