Well hello there Everyone! A little later than usual but we weren’t going to forget ya. So, how was your Monday? We hope you had a great start to the first day of our new week. Yes, we already have one day in the books. Let’s keep that strong start going. Following are the major Headlines, the “Good Stuff”, US Snapshots, US Vaccinations, US Variant Cases, key Highlights, as well as key Statistics, Vaccine and Treatment information, US Restrictions and the Back to Normal Index related to the novel coronavirus pandemic. We’ve included a NEW couple of resources following to help with the new stimulus checks being sent out that we hope will help you figure out how much you may be getting and where the payment is. Tonight, we came across some inspiration from storyteller and author Brad Formsma, who offered us these words of wisdom to ponder: Whoever you are, no matter how much or how little you have to share, making the decision to give regularly to others - daily, weekly, or monthly - will enrich your life and change the lives of the people around you. Sharing. No matter what it is. No matter how small or insignificant it may seem. Just one act of kindness. It could be paying for someone’s coffee behind you in the drive-thru line. Saying thank you to a front-line worker at the grocery store. Letting someone know that you are thinking about them and just saying hi how are you. It doesn’t take much effort at all. And the reward you get back will be ten-fold. All you have to do is remember. So tomorrow find something to lift someone’s day. And tell me if it doesn’t bring a warm fuzzy to your heart and soul .

Want to get information on the latest stimulus checks? Here are two sites that can help:

Headlines  New cases of Covid-19 are once again on the rise across more than half of the US and the recent drop in hospitalizations is slowing, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky warned Monday, adding that she's worried the country could see "another avoidable surge" of Covid-19 sparked by variants if mitigation measures – such as mask-wearing, physical distancing and avoiding crowds or travel – are not followed.  The White House is encouraging governors, as well as the private sector, to maintain or reimpose coronavirus restrictions as new case rates remain high and some states are lifting guidelines, with US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Rochelle Walensky saying Monday the administration is working to “slow down the relaxation” but some states have lifted restrictions on restaurant capacity and other retail businesses in recent weeks, with some states relaxing mask mandates.  About 1 in 4 people in the US - nearly 83 million people - have received at least one dose of vaccine, and more than 1 in 8 - about 45 million people - have been fully vaccinated, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data released Monday shows.  More than two-dozen travel-industry groups are urging the Biden administration to lift international travel restrictions for vaccinated individuals and other measures to revive demand for trips, and Airlines for America - which represents most large U.S. carriers, as well as the largest flight attendant union, hotel and airport associations and the US Chamber of Commerce - called on the White House to come up with a “roadmap” by May 1 toward rescinding travel bans that have devastated international air travel with Europe.  DoorDash announced Monday it will begin same-day deliveries of US Food and Drug Administration authorized Covid-19 PCR tests across the US, and in a new release the online food and product delivery platform says it teamed up with digital health companies Vault Health and Everlywell, giving consumers access to “two COVID-19 home collection kits that received FDA Emergency Use Authorization.”  , the World Health Organization’s technical lead for coronavirus response, said Monday that global cases of Covid-19 have risen for the fifth consecutive week, and that the agency is seeing worrying trends in Europe, as well as number of areas, with four of the five regions reporting an increase in transmission.  Germany is extending its lockdown until April 18 and calling on citizens to stay at home for five days over the Easter holidays to try to break a third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said early on Tuesday.  Ontario, Canada’s largest province, declared it was at the beginning of a third wave of the pandemic Monday, pointing to increasing case counts, hospitalizations and variants of concern, sobering news for the majority of residents who have been in some state of lockdown since late last year.  The second batch of Covid-19 stimulus checks will be issued this week, the Biden administration announced Monday, with many of the payments expected to come via paper check or prepaid debit card and additional batches will be made weekly going forward, according to a statement from the US Department of the Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service.  Microsoft said that starting March 29 more employees can return to its Washington headquarters, with the company allowing employees who work at its Redmond sites and nearby campuses to choose between returning to work full-time, continuing to work remotely or implementing a hybrid model.  Dealing with stress during the pandemic has caused physical changes for many Americans - some have gained undesired weight, and others have unintentionally lost weight, with a American Psychological Association's Stress in America pandemic survey that polled 3,013 adults in the US finding that the majority, 61%, experienced undesired weight changes, with forty-two percent of adults gaining more weight than they intended, of those, the amount they reported gaining averaged 29 pounds, and ten percent said they gained more than 50 pounds.

2  Krispy Kreme launched a new program Monday to give a free doughnut to customers who present their coronavirus vaccine cards, a deal that started today and lasts through the rest of 2021, the North Carolina-based company announced in a release, with customers able to bring their valid coronavirus vaccination cards to any shop in the US every day for the rest of the year to get a free Original Glazed doughnut — one per day.

The Good Stuff: A Virginia resident has become a popular person in her neighborhood and across the region for her ability to get COVID-19 vaccination appointments on websites that other people find excruciatingly difficult to navigate. Katja Hom helped an immigrant family who speaks Spanish and was having trouble navigating the website get vaccination appointments at a local Safeway. Her mission to assist her neighbors and others get appointments started with Hom helping her husband get vaccinated. By late February, Hom had been able to get vaccine appointments for neighbors who live on her cul-de-sac in McLean, including a retired pediatrician and a law professor at George Washington University. She also helped a close friend who has cancer get booked for a vaccination at Safeway. "I just felt like it's the right thing to do. I'm not a techie," Hom said about her willingness to take the time to find appointments for other people. "I'm just someone who was raised to help others. I thought, 'Let's give this a try.'" Her mission to assist her neighbors and others get appointments started with Hom helping her husband get vaccinated. So far, helping a 97-year-old woman has been the most fulfilling for Hom. When she called the woman's home to get information to load into the Safeway appointment registration system, Hom learned that the woman also had immigrated to the US from Germany, albeit 40 years before Hom. Hom said she had a long conversation with the woman, speaking in both English and German. They promised to meet up in person once the pandemic had run its course. On Nextdoor, the woman's son spoke highly of Hom's willingness to help others. "A shoutout to our neighborhood Angel You should be nominated for Women of the Year on Time magazine," he wrote. In response to her efforts, Hom also recently received a card and flowers from a woman she had helped get an appointment at Safeway. "You're a lifesaver, in some ways literally, when you were able to get me the shot," the woman wrote on the card. [Story posted on Patch]

None of the coronavirus variants that are known to be circulating in the US are classified as "variants of high consequence" or currently near that level, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday, a classification that means there is evidence of more severe disease and hospitalizations, vaccine effectiveness that may be reduced, or has significantly reduced susceptibility to therapeutics, among other factors. 2.
