MADISON, Wis. –The coronavirus doesn’t usually get children very sick, but it’s leaving a mark in another way.
In August 2019, Bethany and Nate Keiser of Prairie Du Sac opened their hearts and home to two foster siblings, joining their three biological children.
“We know no matter what’s going on in the world, it’s a transition and brings new challenges and opportunities,” Nate Keiser said.

“It was really tough, especially for the first couple months,” he said.

German health experts have said they are optimistic that the Russian COVID-19 vaccine will be approved for use in the EU. The comments come after Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn had said COVID-19 vaccines from China and Russia could be used in Europe to overcome the EU’s supply shortage.
Such a move, however, could be a geopolitical victory for Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.
“Regardless of the country in which a vaccine is manufactured, if they are safe and effective, they can help cope with the pandemic,” Spahn had told the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper. He also had added that like other vaccines, it was important for the Chinese and Russian jabs to be thoroughly reviewed by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
