Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 12-22-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for December 22nd, 2020.
Trucks trying to get into France from Britain backed up for miles and people were stranded at airports as more than 40 countries enacted travel restrictions on the U.K. The rail operator Eurotunnel has also suspended service. This because of a new and seemingly more contagious strain of the coronavirus.
The European Union gave the go-ahead to the Pfizer vaccine, so shots should begin across the 27-nation bloc just after Christmas. The approval came just hours after the EU's drug regulatory agency said the vaccine meets safety and quality standards.
The Vatican says that it is "morally acceptable" to get a Covid-19 vaccination even if its research or production involved using cell lines from aborted fetuses. It said this is okay given the "grave danger" of the pandemic. Pope Francis approved the text Thursday.
Police in New York City raided a club filled with more than 160 patrons, none of whom were wearing masks, in violation of the state's COVID-19 restrictions. This happened around 2:45am Sunday in Queens. Plus, the building is not set up to be a club so they were also violating fire safety codes and did not have a liquor license.
If you think people are partying now, wait until after the pandemic. Yale’s Dr Nicholas Christakis says based on history, that period will see people doing the opposite of what the pandemic demanded. Extensive social interaction and partying, licentious sex, big spending, and a reverse of religiosity. He compares it to the roaring 20’s.
