BUFFALO, N.Y. â Health officials said there was one COVID-related death Saturday, the first since June 25. We re not out of the woods but we certainly are in a better place than we were, said Dr. Nancy Nielsen with UB Jacobs School of Medicine. Dr. Nielsen said there are two factors that worked in our favor. We have so many people vaccinated now, and the weather is really good so people are outside a lot, she said. I think it s great I m happy that there s no deaths, and as long as everyone s doing their part to get vaccinated, said John Jones

A visible case of breakthrough infection involves the New York Yankees. Multiple members of the team s traveling party, including one player, tested positive for COVID-19 though all had received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The question is: Is this a new variant? Nielsen said. Importantly, all but one of those nine people on the Yankees organization had no symptoms.
Nielsen continues to encourage residents to get vaccinated even as infection rates lower. Emerging variants of the virus, she says, are a threat.
