Poll
Yes
Ambulances filled with breathless patients lined up in Brazil as nations around the world set new records Thursday for COVID-19 deaths and new coronavirus infections. The disease surged even in some countries that have kept the virus in check.
In the United States, Detroit leaders began making a plan to knock on every door to persuade people to get vaccine shots.
Brazil this week became just the third country, after the U.S. and Peru, to report a 24-hour tally of COVID-19 deaths that exceeded 4,000. India hit a peak of almost 127,000 new cases in 24 hours, and Iran set a new coronavirus infection record for the third straight day, reporting nearly 22,600 new cases.

After announcing in the fall that it would investigate how the U.S. Census Bureau counted Detroit and may resort to litigation, the city is now confident it won t need to sue.
The city has collected evidence on the bureau s lack of effort to adequately enumerate Detroiters in 2020. It plans to send that information to the U.S. Commerce Department and make an internal complaint that the city could be facing an undercount, according to officials.
