Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says families will “ultimately” be able to visit with grandparents once everyone in the household is fully vaccinated.
A person is “fully vaccinated” after receiving both doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine, per NBC News. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 37 million Americans have received the first dose.

Observe your kids mental health right now, experts say. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline #Be 1 campaign shares steps a person can do to prevent suicide.
Most of our kids have been navigating the new, challenging standard for almost a year, like social isolation, intensely depressed parents, and the consequences of financial uncertainty.
While Covid-19 has primarily spared children s physical health, studies have shown that it has taken a toll on their mental health, correlated with a rise in behaviors linked to suicide, experts claim.
As of 2018, before the pandemic hit, suicide was the second leading cause of death among kids and teenagers aged 10 to 19 in the United States.

Gertrude the pig rooted around a straw-filled pen, oblivious to the cameras and onlookers and the 1,024 electrodes eavesdropping on her brain signals. Each time the pig’s snout found a treat in a researcher’s hand, a musical jingle sounded, indicating activity in her snout-controlling nerve cells.
Those beeps were part of the big reveal on August 28 by Elon Musk’s company Neuralink. “In a lot of ways, it’s kind of like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires,” said Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, of the new technology.
Neuroscientists have been recording nerve cell activity from animals for decades. But the ambitions of Musk and others to link humans with computers are shocking in their reach. Future-minded entrepreneurs and researchers aim to listen in on our brains and perhaps even reshape thinking. Imagine being able to beckon our Teslas with our minds, Jedi-style.
