CAMBRIDGE (CBS) – CareWell Urgent Care clinics have notified some patients that appointments for their second COVID-19 vaccine will be postponed, if not canceled altogether. “They told us they weren’t going to have second doses available,” said Judy Weinstock of Cambridge. READ MORE: Rep. Pressley, Black Boston COVID-19 Coalition Praise Reggie Lewis Center's Mass Vaccination Site She and her husband, Doug Weinstock, received their first dose of the Moderna vaccine last week – only to be told days later by their physician that they couldn’t secure their second shots. “They couldn’t guarantee because they didn’t have second doses in stock and they didn’t know if DPH would be giving them any more,” said Doug Weinstock. CareWell Urgent Care CEO, Shaun Ginter, released this statement, blaming the state for a vaccine supply shortage: “We have been following the news reports about vaccination anxieties. First, we apologize for any additional stress people have experienced … [Read more...] about ‘It’s Panic’: CareWell Urgent Care Patients Concerned 2nd Vaccine Doses Will Be Canceled

Rep. Pressley, Black Boston COVID-19 Coalition Praise Reggie Lewis Center’s Mass Vaccination Site
BOSTON (CBS) – Another mass vaccination site is up and running, and it is at the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury. With Friday marking a soft launch for the new mass vaccination site, it is all part of the state’s comprehensive equity initiative. But, at least half of the vaccinations available are being reserved for people who live in the community.

Ayanna Pressley, who was at the site on Saturday. Gov. Charlie Baker said the state is second in the nation with respect to the percent of Black residents who have been vaccinated and above the national average for the Hispanic population. “This is really critical that we get people in the neighborhood vaccinated,” one woman at the … [Read more...] about Rep.

2 Skiers Defy Death in Descent of Yosemite’s Half Dome
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIF. - Two skiers navigated a thin layer of snow with no margin for error down the precipitous shoulder of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park and alternately skied and rappelled back to the valley floor in an unusually daring feat. Jason Torlano, 45, and Zach Milligan, 40, completed the descent in five hours Sunday by carefully carving their way in crusty snow and using ropes to rappel several sections of bare rock known as the "death slabs" beneath the iconic face of Half Dome, the Fresno Bee reported Thursday. "If you fall to your left or right, you're definitely dead," said JT Holmes, a professional free skier and a friend of Torlano. "If you fall down the middle, you have a small chance of not falling to your death — but it's a maybe." Snowboarder Jim Zellers is believed to be the first to descend the 243-meter upper section on the shoulder of the dome in 2000. But no one is known to have attempted the entire 1,463-meter descent from peak to … [Read more...] about 2 Skiers Defy Death in Descent of Yosemite’s Half Dome
No bribes or cities named “Amazon”: Colorado’s pitch to get the next headquarters touts incentives that could exceed $100M
There were no promises to create a Colorado city called Amazon. There were no bribes from the state like the 21-foot cactus an Arizona city sent to get the massive retailer to build a second headquarters there. And there was no way Colorado was going to touch one state’s lavish offer of $7 billion in public incentives. Colorado, which doesn’t plan to ask taxpayers for more funding to lure Amazon, on Wednesday submitted a more subdued proposal that state officials hope will attract a new employer and bring up to 50,000 jobs to the Denver region. The state emailed the official bid a day before Amazon’s deadline, as well as mailed five paper copies overnight to the Seattle retailer’s headquarters. “Colorado’s proposal does not lead with incentives. It leads with talent,” said Sam Bailey, who led the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. in working with the state to submit the official bid. “Ultimately, 50,000 jobs shouldn’t be led with incentives but a community that has the … [Read more...] about No bribes or cities named “Amazon”: Colorado’s pitch to get the next headquarters touts incentives that could exceed $100M
