Maine road deaths up in 2020 despite fewer motorists amid pandemic

Maine road deaths up in 2020 despite fewer motorists amid pandemic The overall number of crashes dropped by about 9,000 compared to 2019.

Florida s first-come, first-serve Covid-19 vaccination plan for the elderly leads to scramble

In southwest Florida, the Lee County Department of Health encouraged anyone 65 and older and high-risk frontline health care workers to come to one of seven vaccination sites. Each site had just 300 vaccine doses, and “no appointment is necessary,” the county said. The first-come, first-serve plan led to huge lines forming overnight Tuesday as people camped out on lawn chairs and waited for hours.
