70% of American adults get vaccinated

The United States announced Monday, that they have reached the goal of getting at least one COVID-19 shot into 70% of American adults.  President Biden had hoped to reach that goal by July 4th.

An increase of the Delta variant has been seen in hospitals.   That has resulted in new mask rules and mandatory vaccinations in some places.

Louisiana has ordered nearly everyone, vaccinated or not, to wear masks again in all indoor public settings, including schools and colleges.

New positive cases per-day in the United State, have increased six-fold over the past month to an average of nearly 80,000, a level not seen since mid-February.

Nearly all deaths and serious illnesses now are in unvaccinated people.

Encouraging Words From Your Bible

Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.
