Covid Cases Rising, Stuck in Suez & Derek Chauvin’s Trial

Coronavirus cases are rising again with more than 58,000 new cases per day. That’s a 7% increase over the past week. Dr. Vin Gupta, affiliate assistant professor at the University of Washington, discusses whether the U.S. is doing enough to stay ahead of the increasing Covid cases. Researchers at the National Institute of Health have launched a massive new effort to see whether vaccinated individuals still need to wear masks. The study called PreventCovidU will study about 12,000 college students from 22 universities to examine Covid-19 transmissions. A massive ship has been blocking Egypt’s Suez Canal for the fourth day. It’s creating a traffic jam for more than 200 vessels. The U.S. Navy is planning to send a team of experts to help. Captain Morgan McManus, master of the Empire State VI, has navigated the Suez Canal multiple times and says there are many challenges passing the canal. Plus, opening statements for Derek Chauvin’s trial will start Monday.
