Hey there Everyone! And a good evening to you. What? We blinked and Monday is already gone. How about that. I don’t know about you but I looked up and it was already after 5. Busy days do go by quick. So, with one day of our week already in the books, following is our Daily Recap of 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. Tonight’s inspiration, short on words but long in wisdom is from Oscar Wilde, who said: When it rains look for rainbows. When it’s dark look for stars. Now why does this quote remind me of the old glass half-empty, glass-half full saying. Our days and lives take on different appearances. One day can be good. The next can be a struggle. We can be on top of the world and smiling one day. And the next we can be facing adversity and struggling just to keep moving forward. But the trick is to always do our best to try to find the positive, even in the negative situations. Do our best to remember to be grateful for what we have, even when things are tough. And remember to smile for being given those family and friends that make our days special. Just know that after a storm a rainbow gives us hope of a brighter sky ahead and when things get dark the lights of the stars remind us there is beauty in a night sky. So keep looking for the little things in our lives, the positives that keep us lifted up and the belief that tomorrow will hold the promise of the next end to the storm and light our way in the dark .

1 Headlines  Early results from the Com-COV British vaccine study at the University of Oxford suggest that mixing different brands of vaccines can provoke a protective immune response against Covid-19, a trial that showed volunteers produced high levels of antibodies and immune cells after getting one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and one dose of the AstraZeneca-Oxford shot, regardless of the order they were administered.  The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has not been linked with a higher risk for the facial nerve paralysis known as Bell's palsy, but COVID-19 itself does increase the risk, suggest two separate studies published last week in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.  The United Kingdom is about a month or two ahead of the US when it comes to the spread of the Delta variant, which means there is some helpful data to make predictions before a potential outbreak, with health experts estimating that the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines are about 90% effective at preventing illness and 94% effective against severe illness and hospitalization.  Vaccines are working against Covid-19, including the highly contagious delta variant - but the challenge is in getting enough people inoculated, according to William Schaffner, the professor of preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, who said “Leaving it in the refrigerator doesn’t help, that won’t prevent disease” and stressing “You have got to move that vaccine into arms.”  The US is “never going to have zero” new daily Covid cases, former Food and Drug Administration chief Dr. Scott Gottlieb said Monday, explaining “We’re always going to have some level of spread,” predicting infections will become endemic like the seasonal flu, meaning they will remain present in the American population.  While the Houston Methodist hospital system remains in the national spotlight for forcing out 153 employees who refused to get vaccinated, dozens of hospitals have quietly begun following the Texas hospital's lead of mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for their employees.  Talks between US and Britain regarding a travel corridor are increasingly unlikely to reach a conclusion by the end of July, according to officials, who added the rise in cases of the Delta variant in Britain, the complexities of the US political system and uncertainty over the status of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the US, where it is not yet approved, were set to extend the talks into August and even September.  The United Kingdom reported the most new infections since February, but Britain will lift most of its remaining COVID-19 restrictions on July 19 in what has been dubbed "Freedom Day" the government said on Monday, despite fears that an increase in coronavirus cases, fueled by the delta variant, could lead to more deaths.  As the surging delta coronavirus variant forces countries to reinstate restrictions, Israel's new government is standing pat, counting on herd immunity and expressing faith that the nation's high vaccination rate is shielding people from the variant's worst effects, and though the number of positive cases is rising, few people are becoming seriously ill.  Australia faced a grim and unfamiliar challenge on Monday with simultaneous outbreaks in several parts of the country fueled by the spread of the highly infectious Delta variant, and in the most notable outbreak centered in Sydney, which has sent the city into at least a two-week lockdown, cases grew by 18 on Monday and now stand at 130, with other states also reporting new cases and toughened restrictions.  Bogus vaccination certificates are booming in Russia as Moscow orders 60 percent of workers who interact with the public to get inoculated or get different jobs, with the capital on Sunday logging a record 144 covid-19 deaths in 24 hours.  Data collated by online scientific publication, Our World In Data, showed around 22.6% of the world’s population have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine - but most of them are in high-income, wealthy countries in North America and Western Europe with less than 1% of people in low-income countries have received at least one dose.  Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, who had taken time off to recuperate from fatigue, will be off-duty for a few more days than planned, and with the 2020 Games beginning in just 25 days, infections have started rising again in the Japanese capital.  Airline and retail workers aren't the only ones facing public wrath for trying to do their jobs as the coronavirus slammed the US, with nearly a quarter of public health workers reporting feeling bullied, harassed or threatened due to their work, with 1 in 8 saying they had received job-related threats, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

2  Recently freed from regulators' coronavirus restrictions, the largest US banks on Monday announced plans to return tens of billions of dollars to their shareholders over the next year in the form of dividends and stock buybacks, a signal that banks are looking to reward their shareholders after last year's pandemic-driven losses and also a sign banks at the moment see few places to put their big profits other than back into the hands of their shareholders.  The Transportation Security Administration is offering $1,000 hiring bonuses as part of its push to add 6,000 screeners by the end of September, and so far it has hired about 4,000, with airports serving Austin, Texas; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Charlotte, North Carolina, recently telling travelers to arrive as much as three hours early because of long security lines.  Wilmington Trust’s Meghan Shue is opening her playbook for the year’s second half - which starts Thursday, with a strategy that includes an overexposure to cyclicals, and favoring financials, energy, commodities, materials and industrials, with the head of investment strategy at the company saying that unless this week sees a dramatic sell- off, the market will start the year’s final six months around record highs.  A year after the coronavirus pandemic caused Wimbledon to be canceled for the first time since World War II, a fortnight of tennis returned Monday with fans marking the contrast with an emotional Centre Court ovation for National Health Service workers and scientists who helped develop vaccines.

The Good Stuff: Johnny Woodard could feel his life slowly slipping away. In November of 2020, the Horse Cave resident was admitted to The Medical Center at Bowling Green with a severe case of COVID-19. A few months into his battle with the virus, Woodard’s health took a turn for the worse. The 50-year-old was on a ventilator and had undergone numerous surgeries. He was beginning to lose hope. That’s when his physician, Dr. Ghayth Hammad, made a promise to his patient while his medical team surrounded his hospital bed. “I looked him right in the eyes and told him right then not only was he going to beat COVID, but that we were going to get a beer together when it was all over,” Hammad said. After a battle spanning seven months, Woodard, once again surrounded by his nurses and physicians, was able to see Hammad’s promise come to fruition last Friday afternoon at Pub by Novo in Bowling Green. He had finally defeated the deadly virus that has killed more than 600,000 Americans. The group lifted their drinks in celebration and toasted to Woodard’s health. He then joyfully took a sip from a cold beer for the first time in months. “This is my smile,” Woodard said with a large, thankful grin. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a beer.” Seated on each side of Woodard were the two people who spent the most time by his side through his fight - Hammad and Med Center Health Clinic Manager Tracy Metzger. “I’m just so grateful for them. They took care of me,” Woodard said. “It was so difficult every day. These two helped me every step of the way.” Hammad said Woodard lost over 150 pounds throughout his battle. He also had to undergo a tracheotomy and was fed by a feeding tube while also being placed on a ventilator. But despite the many bad days, there were still several occasions when Woodard’s vibrant persona shined through. “Johnny’s personality is bigger than life,” Metzger said. “He always had a joke for us. He loves to rile up everybody and stir the pot. We had a lot of fun with him. But at the same time, we took care of him and we wiped his tears.” Metzger says she will never forget the day Hammad made his promise. It was that moment that changed the course of Woodard’s health. “This is definitely a long-standing lunch date. I really didn’t know if he would make it,” she said. “To see him breathing on his own is a miracle. It’s remarkable to see him today and to hear his voice. It gives me cold chills.” Woodard’s impact was not only felt by Metzger but by Hammad, who called his recovery an “inspiration” for everyone at The Med Center. “He is just a normal, average guy who happens to have a big heart,” Hammad said.
