LOS ANGELES It was about 9 p.m. when a nurse at one of the largest vaccination sites in the country ran out of doses.
A sea of cars waiting for hours in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium waited some more. All the runners the workers who dash between the lanes of idling Hondas and Chevys to fill empty coolers with the coronavirus vaccine were busy running.

The U.S. Census Bureau is suspending efforts to create neighborhood-level statistics on the citizenship and age of residents, using 2020 census data, in the latest rollback of Trump administration census-related initiatives that critics feared would be used to favor Republicans and whites during the drawing of state and local districts.
As part of an order President Joe Biden signed Wednesday on the 2020 census, the Census Bureau said Friday that it would discontinue efforts to create citizenship tabulations at the city-block level using 2020 census data combined with administrative records.
Among his first acts as president, Biden s order revoked two Trump directives related to the 2020 census. The first attempted to discern the citizenship status of every U.S. resident through administrative records, and the second sought to exclude people in the U.S. illegally from the numbers used for apportioning congressional seats among the states.
