Camp Amache , where thousands of Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants were held against their will during World War II , would become a national historic site under bipartisan legislation introduced Wednesday by two Coloradans. Republican U.S. Rep. Ken Buck and Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse co-authored the bill .

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Commercial airlines which leave their middle seats empty on flights can greatly reduce the transmission of COVID-19, according to a new study published Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

YAOUNDE - Health care workers in Cameroon say they are reluctant to take the coronavirus vaccines donated by China because they doubt the drug's efficacy. On Sunday, 200,000 Sinopharm doses arrived in Cameroon's capital. Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute accepted the vaccine donation on behalf of President Paul Biya at Yaounde's international airport, in a ceremony that was broadcast live on state radio and television.
