Coronavirus vaccines are on the way to locations around the country, and officials say they expect 100 million people in the US will be vaccinated by the end of March. 40 million doses are set to be distributed by the end of this month. NPR's Selena Simmons-Duffin reports the first doses will be delivered to all 50 states tomorrow.
Next is the rush to start getting people vaccinated, to try to slow and eventually end the pandemic. The federal government is coordinating distribution to predetermined sites around each state, then it falls to state and local health department and health care providers to actually start administering the shots. It may take a few days of provider training about how to properly give the vaccine for the campaign to really get under way.

This is as the number of confirmed cases in the US continues to grow, now topping 6.1 million cases, with nearly 300,000 deaths, that's according to data from Johns-Hopkins University. Hospitals in many states say they are at capacity with ICU beds filled as they face a shortage of hospital staff. And as the number of coronavirus cases rises around Europe, France is loosening restrictions on nursing homes starting this week so that residents can spend time with their families. As NPR’s Eleanor Beardsley reports, they will be able to receive visitors, even if they have tested positive for the coronavirus.
The Deputy Health Minister in charge of elderly affairs said that injecting the spirit of Christmas into nursing homes is essential to maintain family ties and fight loneliness. About a third of France's nearly 58,000 coronavirus deaths have occurred in retirement homes where residents have been subjected to strict confinement measures. France has just emerged from the second national lockdown, the tight restrictions helped curb new cases, but the Prime Minister says the country is still in the midst of the second wave of the virus.

Protectors tore down Black-Lives-Matters signs at two historically black churches in D.C after pro-Trump rallies on Saturday. NPR’s Joel Rose reports.
Videos posted on social media appear to show a group of white protestors tearing down a Black-Lives-Matter sign at one church and setting the sign from a second church on fire in the street. The pastor of the church compared the scene to a cross burning. The incidents came after a rally in support of president Trump's false claims that he won a second term that attracted a large contingent of Proud Boys, a self proclaimed Western Chauvinists organization which is widely considered a hate group, Anthony laranza Green is a co organizer with Black-Lives-Matter in D.C.
"How police department allowed White Supremacists to tear down and destroy property from a black church, burn it on the ground, stand back and watching?"
DC police say they are investigating the incidents as possible hate crimes.
President Trump says he will veto the Annual Defense Bill that covers the military's budget and raises for service members. He's citing unspecified concerns about China, tweeting today "the China is the biggest winner in the bill". But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the bill will help deter Chinese aggression. Earlier Trump said it was because the bill does not repeal legal protections for social media companies, but both the House and Senate passed that legislation by veto-proof numbers. 参众两院以不受否决的票数通过了该法案。
In southern Utah, some tribal leaders are preparing for a new Biden-Harris administration by calling for Bears Ears National Monument to be restored to its original size after it was dramatically cut by the Trump administration. Ryan Heinsius of member station KNAU has more.
Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and others want president-elect Joe Biden to reestablish the monuments nearly 2-million-acre original size after he takes office next month. The Navajo, Hopi and three other south western tribes say the area is their ancestral home and culturally and spiritually crucial. They worry without federal protection it's in danger of energy development, looting and vandalism. During the 2020 campaign Biden signaled he may use the Antiquities Act文物保护法案 to reverse the Trump administration's 2017 order that slashed Bears Ears by 85% and the nearby Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument by half.
