Trump not worried about contracting coronavirus at rallies

President Trump said he is not concerned about getting coronavirus at indoor campaign rallies because he speaks from a stage “very far away” from attendees.
“I’m on a stage that’s very far away, and so I’m not at all concerned,” Trump said Sunday in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Trump headlined two large rallies in Nevada over the weekend, including one indoors at Xtreme Manufacturing in Henderson, defying state coronavirus rules limiting gatherings to no more than 50 people. Thousands of supporters gathered on Saturday and Sunday to attend the events. Few wore masks and there was no social distancing.
The president has faced pushback from health experts and critics for his decision to hold the indoor rally. Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the White House coronavirus task force, has expressed frustration at the lack of masks worn by attendees of Trump’s campaign events.
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) on Sunday accused the president of “taking reckless and selfish actio…

Lubbock officials address latest COVID-19 data

An update on COVID-19 was given by City of Lubbock officials during a virtual news conference Wednesday.
Katherine Wells, director of the Lubbock Health Department, said there are 9,936 cases and is expecting for the total case count to reach 10,000 by Wednesday evening. The death total is now at 113.
The health department is planning on moving to a new data system by either Wednesday evening or Thursday, Wells said. The change will not alter the data being presented on the dashboard.
“The big reason for the change is the health department normally processes between 200 and 300 disease reports a week,” Wells said. “Now with COVID, our department staff is processing over 2,000 records a week, and our prior data system could not handle this volume.”
There should not be a big change to the total case count, but there potentially could be some changes to the ethnicity categories or to the number of daily cases documented, Wells said.
The new data system will allow information to be entered in…

Trump claims COVID-19 vaccine will be ready by April for every American

President Trump said Friday he expects there will be enough COVID-19 vaccines for every American by April 2021.
"We'll have manufactured at least 100 million vaccine doses before the end of the year and likely much more than that," Trump said during a press briefing Friday.
"Hundreds of millions of doses will be available every month, and we expect to have enough vaccines for every American by April."
No COVID-19 vaccine has been proven safe and effective yet by the Food & Drug Administration. But the U.S. has invested in seven potential vaccines, three of which are in phase three trials that will determine safety and effectiveness.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, has said the federal government should know by November whether any of the vaccines is safe and effective.
Health workers and people who are most vulnerable to severe COVID-19 illness including the elderly would likely get the vaccine first, while the general publi…
