A damning new study by the Lancet, one of the world’s leading medical journals, found that Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic while he was president exacerbated problems that had been accruing over four decades of government neglect, leading to Americans dying of COVID-19 at a higher rate than people in other high-income nations.
The report commissioned by The Lancet, a British publication, laid out how years of declining spending on public health and an increase in wealth inequality combined with COVID-19 to cause avoidable deaths in the United States, with a disproportionate effect on minority communities. The authors found that 40 percent of the more than 400,000 American virus deaths as of mid-January could have been averted if the U.S. had a mortality rate in line with those of the other G-7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the U.K.).

Among those designated as frontline essential workers are first responders, education workers like teachers and support staff, childcare workers, grocery store employees and postal service workers.
The more than 3.2 million residents who are eligible for Phase 1B can be vaccinated at National Guard-led sites as well as CVS, Jewel Osco and Walgreens, according to Gov. J.B. Pritzker s office. Additionally, Hy-Vee, Mariano s and Kroger pharmacies also plan to provide vaccinations during the first week of Phase 1B.
All of the sites will initially require appointments, state officials said. As Illinois receives more vaccines, the state plans to launch walk-in locations and allocate vaccine doses to providers such as doctor s office and urgent care clinics.
