The bill is designed primarily to address the economic damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and accelerate the distribution of vaccines and treatments that have proved effective against the pandemic coronavirus. In addition to direct cash payments to millions of U.S. residents, the bill includes nearly $60 billion for vaccine and treatment development, manufacturing, distribution, and tracking, as well as COVID-19 testing and contact tracing. It also includes $11 billion that will go to international groups and foreign governments addressing the pandemic and other public health threats, including $3.5 billion to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and $250 million to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the primary U.S. aid program to address HIV/AIDS.
Deceased Dolphin Discovered on New Bedford Beach
NEW BEDFORD A deceased dolphin was located Tuesday afternoon on a South End beach, a rare occurrence on the SouthCoast and even rarer considering the exact species of dolphin it was.
According to New Bedford Police, the male bottlenose dolphin was located on the beach by East Rodney French Boulevard, near Brittany Dye, at around 1 p.m. this afternoon. The dolphin was then removed by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, or IFAW, with a crane lifting it from the beach and loading it onto a truck.
“We were able to collect the carcass and hopefully, with a necropsy, we can see what was going on with it,” said Olivia Guerra, stranding biologist for IFAW. “First, we will have some preliminary findings looking at its organs, and then we’ll take other samples that will be sent out to a lab.”
