The US death toll from Covid-19 has surpassed 600,000, although officials hailed progress towards a return to normality as its world-leading vaccination program promised to turn the page on one of the worst health crises in American history.
"My heart goes out to all those who have lost a loved one," he said, speaking in Brussels yesterday as the Johns Hopkins University tally ticked close to 600,000. Vaccinated people will be free to ditch their masks in nearly all of the nation's richest and most populous state, though exceptions will remain for locations including public transport, schools and hospitals. Whether the US vaccination program succeeds in ending America's chapter of the pandemic will depend on authorities' ability to reach vaccine holdouts, who remain the most vulnerable to the coronavirus.
Experts are concerned about the rise of the Delta variant which now accounts for 10% of US cases and is likely to become the dominant strain in the coming months, according to experts.Australia's most populous city Sydney has recorded its first locally acquired case of Covid-19 in more than a month, stoking concerns of a fresh wave of infections today.
Victoria state recorded five Covid-19 cases in the past 24 hours, though all linked to known cases, but authorities said it will ease restrictions on the 5 million residents of Melbourne. Officials at the Department of Health and Social Care did not deny a report by the Guardian saying that ministers will approve the measure for social care workers in England.

If only they could find a country that has dealt already with the Delta variant and made cases drop 80% in just 30 days and copy exactly what they did .. well blow me down look at India ..

Most of America is open but rte still trying to use it to scare 5 million people into absolute terror in the height of Summer. Just pure evil at this stage.
... so remember to socially distance as our leaders lead by example...
And they're back!!!! I thought RTÉ had had a refresher course in ethics and their obligation to the public of unbias in reporting, as there was definitely a more balanced tone yesterday. I really am a naive silly billy sometimes.
The virus is weakening
