A pandemic-era Valentine’s Day: the binational couples divided by Covid-19

Description

Everything is set for the regular Sunday dinner Brandon and Mari have been holding over the past year. But more than 3,700 miles separate the lovers this Valentine's Day. They will only get to see each other virtually, with one in New York and the other in Oslo. In France, Philippe awaits his partner Lorena after finally receiving authorisation for her to travel to him. It has been a year since they last saw each other. Thousands of couples like them have gathered in online groups, sharing tips and campaigning for countries to open their borders to them, united under the #LoveIsNotTourism hashtag.

  • Day-Old Bread Discount? How Non-Priority People Are Getting The COVID-19 Jab

    Across the country, some non-healthcare workers are getting their COVID-19 vaccines earlier than expected. In a scattershot practice, non-priority people are getting vaccinated ahead of schedule when pharmacies have extra doses thawed that must be used. Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines need to be stored at cold temperatures and used within hours of thawing. Business Insider reports the phenomenon occurs when vaccine providers must either throw out extra doses when they expire or give them to random people. In other instances, confusion about the amount of doses per vial and rumors of excess supply have led to mishaps in vaccine allocation. The US federal government hasn't specified what should be done when there are more thawed doses than eligible recipients.
