This Week's UPDATES
Happy Mother's Day, the one day of the year where a ll gave to nice to our mothers or else. I hoped everyone thought of something great to do for their mom 'cause I know I have, otherwise you might as well get them a card as a late-minute decision. That said, let's take a look at this week's 7-Day Round-Up after another week of good news and bad news.
The NBA is in the the midst of its final week of regular games and the NHL probably would have finished this week as well, but due to tons of postponed games, it could be the week after this one. The fields are almost set for playoff basketball and hockey to commence, and before they are completed, here's a brand new Max Sports rundown of what games lie ahead for teams still fighting for a spot. Plus, addition games in the MLB and the growing match cards for WWE WrestleMania Backlash and AEW Double or Nothing later this month.

Our Main Story takes another look inside the country's plans to combat the COVID-19 virus. The commander-in-chief President Joe Biden continues to try and get things up and running sooner rather than later, and now he has given us some new information that we're going to dive-in right now. During a press conference last Tuesday, Biden outlined a new strategy to increase COVID-19 vaccine access in the United States, the main goal in doing this is to administer at least one shot of the vaccines to 70% of adults in this country, and have 160 million Americans vaccinated by July 4th, aka the Fourth of July, aka Independence Day. I'm part of the current percentage of Americans who has gotten a least one dose of a vaccine, now in the 40 mark, and having recovered from the pain in my left arm from being injected with the Moderna vaccine, I'm due to get the second dose in May 29th. As for the idea that America can have some resemblance of life before COVID-19, this seems too good to be true, but we've been promised time and time again the pandemic will come to an end, even though we don't know exactly when that time will come. In order to achieve this goal, President Biden said during the press conference that “if and when” Pfizer’s vaccine is approved for teenagers, his administration would be able to move quickly on improving vaccine distribution between states in the country. This gives the impression that even more Americans of all ages will be vaccinated by this summer, however, Vaccines rates have been declining and hesitancy over getting a vaccine has been growing much higher in the US. The minute I step foot into rite aid, I became nervous about getting vaccinated due to one thing: my fear of needles, but I waited until it was my turn, sat down, and took it like a real man. Now I look forward to getting another shot at end of the month, and I implore those who are hesitance to show courage and do their part in bringing this pandemic to an end. Vaccines alone may not be enough to combat COVID-19, but it's the first step in the right direction to save lives sooner before we lose them. For more details on President Biden's latest strategy, here's a political #TwitterTrend that explains all.

President Biden has set a new goal of administering at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose to 70% of the US adult population and having 160 million US adults fully vaccinated by July 4
All In with Chris Hayes @allinwithchris
The White House plans to make a shift in the way vaccine doses are allocated amongst states, allowing some governors to turn down doses they don't need or want, as Biden is expected to lay out plans to get the Covid vaccine to 70% of adults by July 4.
POLITICO @politico
The Biden administration will soon allow states to order coronavirus shots that other states aren’t using

U.S. administers 245.6 min doses of COVID-19 vaccines – CDC http://reut.rs/3xKt9Ek
Josh Holder @Josh_H
The US has entered a new phase in its vaccination campaign in which supply often outstrips demand.
The average number of people getting a first or single dose each day has fallen by about 50 percent from the peak on April 13.
Full story with @amyswalk:
Josh Holder @Josh_H
Experts say the 11-day pause of Johnson & Johnson is partly responsible, but more than a dozen states also saw flattening or falling Pfizer and Moderna first-dose vaccinations in early April.

Southern states such as Mississippi and Alabama are falling behind while the Northeast pulls ahead.
CBS News @CBSNews
Pres. Biden announces new COVID-19 vaccination goals and a three-phase focus:
1. Kids between the ages of 12-15
2. Making it easier to get a shot by allowing walk-ins
3. Moving from mass vaccine sites to smaller sites

President Biden on the possible Pfizer announcement for 12-15 year olds: "If that announcement comes, we are ready to move immediately."
Annie Linskey @AnnieLinskey
Biden says that his administration will allow family doctors to administer the vaccine as he expects 12-15 year olds to become eligible for it.
Eli Stokols @EliStokols
Biden outlines shift from mass vaccination sites, which will be closing down, to “smaller sites, closer to the unvaccinated,” many in rural areas.
“Now we’re going to bring the vaccine to Americans who are less eager.”
Natasha Korecki @natashakorecki
Biden to Americans: “There’s a lot of misinformation out there … People who are not fully vaccinated can still die of Covid-19.”
Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins
"Even if your chance of getting seriously ill is low, why take the risk when you have a safe, free and convenient way to prevent it?" President Biden asks.
Matt Viser @mviser
“The light at the end of the tunnel is actually growing brighter and brighter,” President Biden says
