With the U.S. vaccination effort picking up speed, new coronavirus cases in the U.S. rose 1.5% in the week ended Sunday, the slowest increase since the pandemic began almost a year ago.
The U.S. reported 420,285 infections for the week, after recording 471,198 cases in the prior seven days, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University and Bloomberg. The percentage gain was the smallest since Bloomberg began tracking cases in January 2020.
In the past week, an average of 2.16 million vaccine doses per day were administered in the U.S., with the total number of shots reaching 90.4 million, according to the Bloomberg Vaccine Tracker..
Wyoming will lift its mask mandate next week, Gov. Mark Gordon’s office announced Monday. The state will also allow bars, restaurants, theaters and gyms to resume normal operations on Tuesday after nearly a year of working under restrictions meant to limit COVID-19’s spread.
The news comes a week after new, loosened health orders went into effect removing limits on personal care businesses such as salons and widening allowable public gatherings.
“I thank the people of Wyoming for their commitment to keeping one another safe throughout this pandemic,” Gordon said in a statement..”
The changes to the state’s health orders will be shared later this week, but Gordon “wanted to make sure the public knew of this important change today,” the announcement said.
“Wyoming is one of the few states in the country that kept students learning in the classroom for the entire school year,” Gordon said in the news release. “We made sacrifices, but the earlier orders saved lives. We persevered. With this approach we can have graduations, proms and a great end to the school year by keeping schools open. Especially since our children will not have the chance to be vaccinated this spring.”.
President Biden confidently declared last week that there would be enough Covid-19 vaccine delivered to the U.S. government by the end of May to vaccinate every American.
But predictions about vaccine availability have repeatedly been proven wrong. How confident should Americans be this time? The short answer: somewhat.
There is no doubt that the U.S. is moving from a time of vaccine scarcity, when there is not enough vaccine to go around, to one of vaccine surplus, when it will be far easier for people who want a Covid vaccine to receive one. By early summer, barring a manufacturing catastrophe, there should be enough vaccine for every American..
President Biden’s announcement this week that the U.S. should have enough vaccines to inoculate every adult American by the end of May brought hope of a return to normalcy. This apparently is prehistoric thinking.
“The last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking,” Mr. Biden said Wednesday after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lifted his statewide mask mandate and restrictions on businesses. Democrats are applauding Mr. Biden, but imagine if Donald Trump had attacked Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s lockdown as “Neanderthal thinking.”.
Vaccines were supposed to enable Americans more or less to get back to their before-Covid lives—youth sports, eating out, family gatherings, and even walking outside without a mask. It’s probably still prudent to wear masks in public settings indoors for a few more months, and businesses like Starbucks and Target plan to continue requiring.
MORE THAN a year after the coronavirus pandemic began, its origins are mysterious. The truth may take years to discover, but now is a good time to relaunch the search for it. A joint inquiry by the World Health Organization and China has run into trouble, as a group of 26 scientists pointed out this week in an open letter to the WHO. Both the possibility of a zoonotic spillover from animal hosts and that of a laboratory accident need independent, expert investigation — and it is time for a new team to seriously tackle the laboratory hypothesis.
Why is the issue of the virus origins so important? Because the source and method by which the virus made the leap to people are critical to prepare for any future pandemic. Too much political heat has already been spent on this issue, some generated by China, where the first major outbreak began, and some by Donald Trump in his attempt to distract attention from his catastrophic pandemic response as president. The blame-throwing must not impede finding the truth.
The WHO-China investigation team, focused on zoonotic spillover, is writing a report, which the director general of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, says will be released the week of March 15.

Abstract
Background and aims: The most restrictive nonpharmaceutical United States. Using first-difference:.A sampling of some of Brevena’s skin care products.
Between the sunburns of summer and wind chill of winter, our Minnesota skin takes a beating. White Bear Lake-based Brevena hopes to put your skin at ease with its product line, released in February. While the company was founded in 2014, the technology used in the creams and gels has been years in the making, and started in hospital burn units, according to Brevena president Barbara Klein.
Klein got her start in the medical burn-unit industry right after graduating from the University of Minnesota. With a major in economics, she decided to enter the sales industry, and chose the medical arena “because I thought it was a professional environment that would be conducive to women sales reps,” she says. The nearest medical device manufacturer to her home at the time happened to specialize in burn care, and she got a job selling to burn units and wound care in a five-state region. After working her way up through the company, Klein left to pursue other medical markets, but returned when a coworker had the idea to purchase the burn unit and wound care sector of the company.
Klein jumped on board, and Brennen (German for “to burn”) Medical was born in 1993. It was here that the new technology in skin care was discovered.
“In 1995 I identified this oat beta glucan as an additional healing agent,” Klein says. “You’ve heard stories of using oatmeal baths to soothe skin for poison ivy, poison oak—and it’s been around for ages in that form.” The beta glucan is extracted from the cell wall of the oat plant, and is a healing agent for skin loss. Klein purified it to remove any oat byproducts, “and that’s what we put in the medical devices.” That pure, medical-grade product is still used in burn units at medical centers around the world, she says, though in 2012, she sold the company.
So she and her team created Brevena, the consumer line based on their 20-plus years of success in the burn units using beta glucan, which they now refer to as the macro-B complex.
“Our goal is really to be a skin
