More than 1,200 coronavirus vaccine dose have been tossed so far during Massachusetts’ highly-scrutinized vaccine rollout, the state's Department of Public Health confirmed earlier this week.

That is shameful. Can you imagine how many people around the world who could use those vaccines??

And that is just in one state. I wonder how much this is happening everywhere due to poor systems. This should be so much better managed.

You would think right? It’s so frustrating.

Florida back over 5k new coronavirus cases with infections among younger age groups

Florida’s resident death toll from coronavirus rose to 32,820 with the addition of 41 more reported fatalities on Tuesday while also adding 5,302 more positive COVID-19 cases to bring the total to 2,016,513.

Tuesday’s report showed infections topping 5,000 again after two days falling below. The state has not reported more than 10,000 cases, though, since Feb. 5.

Infections had been in decline since mid-February, and still do among older Floridians. A slight rise in positive cases among the 25-34 and 35-44 age groups has seen cases level out in the last two weeks and even increase slightly week over week. The average daily reported infections for the last seven days has been 4,584 while compared to a daily average of 4,527 for the previous week.

With a population of about 21.5 million, about one in 11 people in the state have now been infected. That number is also about in 11 nationally and one in 63 worldwide.
