Love how she decided to wear her new Sherlock Holmes pin on this first day of middle school - meant to represent an inquisitive, open-minded, fact-based, excitement for the start of the new school year. #BacktoSchool #Education

Hospitals tell us the majority of #COVID patients are unvaccinated. As insurance providers begin to end fee waivers for COVID treatment they could face a greater financial risk, in addition to the existing health risk, of choosing to remain unvaccinated.

Good Morning #SouthFlorida ! There is certainly a palpable feeling of, in the words of @EricYutzyWPLG , “cautious optimism” following the #HurricaneDorian 5am advisory. I’ll be with @WPLGLocal10 photojournalist @curtiscalhoon today as our #HurricanePrep coverage continues.

To understand this burst of excitement from Dr. Sunil Kumar, first to receive #pfizer dose at @BrowardHealth today-is to understand his months-long sacrifice. While fighting Covid-19 at work, isolating at home, last time he had a sit down meal with his family was before March. ▶️
