LOUISVILLE, Ky. It has seen conflicts between police and protesters, casualties and chili cook-offs.
It s where hundreds of supporters gathered with the family of Breonna Taylor for what should have been her 27th birthday and where they showed the world their heartbreak when no one was charged with her death.
It was home to a new vegetable garden during the heat of June, dozens of pumpkins in October, and an iced-over memorial encircled by silk flowers in February.
That s up 14.7% from the previous week s tally of 44,130 COVID-19 doses administered.
As of March 9, 13.18% of people living in Stearns County are fully vaccinated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers someone fully vaccinated two weeks after they ve been given a single-dose shot (Johnson & Johnson) or a second shot (either Pfizer or Moderna).
Gov. Tim Walz announced Tuesday, March 9 that Minnesota is expanding eligibility for the coronavirus vaccine after reaching its goal of inoculating at least 70% of people 65 and older.
The state will expand eligibility to the next two phases of Minnesotans at once, totaling about 1.8 million people, beginning Wednesday, March 10. Walz said the next two priority groups include people with underlying health conditions and those at a risk of workplace exposure, including about 45,000 people who work at food processing plants.

Every year, the flu kills thousands of people and sickens millions more who didn t get a flu shot or in whom it didn t work well. In 1918, the worldwide death toll from flu topped 50 million, and researchers have been worried about a repeat ever since.
Now, a team of current and former government scientists has developed a vaccine that seems – at least in monkeys – to protect against the strains most likely to cause a global pandemic.
The group, which published their monkey results in a study last week, has begun a small trial to test the vaccine in healthy adults.
