Vaccinations lag in Detroit: 55% of Michigan residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccines, while only 24% of Detroiters have. Last month, Governor Gretchen Whitmer unveiled a Vacc to Normal plan to lift COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in phases 14 days after the state achieves various vaccination rate benchmarks. When 70% of the state is vaccinated, most pandemic restrictions will end (barring unforeseen circumstances like the emergence of vaccine-resistant strains). On Monday, the state reached its first benchmark of 55%, which will lift restrictions making employers require remote work when possible and reopen many office buildings. I am excited that 55% of Michiganders have gotten their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine because it puts us one step closer to getting Vacc to Normal, Whitmer said in a statement. Everyone is eligible to get their safe, effective shots, and it s on all of us to get vaccinated as soon as possible to protect ourselves, ou

HCMC patient John Grubb of St. Michael was discharged from HCMC after 81 days on the ECMO heart-lung bypass machine. ECMO has been the treatment of last resort in COVID-19 care, saving 50% of people when used globally, but has been a critical tool when doctors run out of options for severely ill patients.
