WASHINGTON (AP) — After reports that U.S. government officials, including some White House officials who work in close proximity to President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, would be offered coronavirus vaccines as soon as this week, Trump said Sunday that most White House officials will have to wait to get a vaccine. Earlier, two people familiar with the matter confirmed that the newly approved vaccine from Pfizer would be made available to those who work in close quarters with the nation’s top elected officials. Meanwhile, public distribution is limited to front-line health workers and those in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. The officials say the move was meant to prevent more COVID-19 spread in the White House. Trump was briefly hospitalized after his diagnosis in October. 820

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump aims to take credit for the speedy development of forthcoming coronavirus vaccines, even as his administration is coming under scrutiny for failing to lock in a chance to buy millions of additional doses of one of the leading coronavirus vaccine contenders this summer.That decision could delay the delivery of a second batch of doses until manufacturer Pfizer fulfills other international contracts.The revelation was first reported by the New York Times and later confirmed to the Associated Press by people familiar with the matter.Earlier this year, Pfizer agreed to make 100 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine — enough to inoculate 50 million Americans — and gave the federal government the option to purchase up to five times as many doses. Then, this summer, Trump administration officials reportedly declined an offer to purchase 100 million more doses of the Pfizer vaccine.According to the Times, Pfizer must now also fulfill hefty orders from other countries — notably, an order for 200 million doses from the European Union — before making more doses for the U.S.In a statement, the Department of Health and Human Services said it was confident that Pfizer would be able to fulfill it's current 100 million dose order, and pointed to the fact that several other vaccine candidates are near approval — including one from Moderna, which could be approved by the end of th month.“We are confident that we will have 100 million doses of Pfizer’s vaccine as agreed to in our contract, and beyond that, we have five other vaccine candidates, including 100 million doses on the way from Moderna,” an HHS spokesperson said in a statement to the Times.The reports came on the eve of Trump’s plans to host a White House summit on Tuesday, aimed at celebrating the expected approval of the first vaccine later this week.At that event, Trump plans to sign an executive order aimed at prioritizing the supply of U.S. vaccines for Americans — though the order does not appear to have legal sway, according to the New York Times.Officials from President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team were not invited to Tuesday's event at the White House, despite the fact that the Biden administration will handle the bulk of the distribution work. 2281

Viewers to Friday’s White House news briefing heard press secretary Kayleigh McEnany claim that Paw Patrol had been canceled.“We saw a few weeks ago that Paw Patrol, a cartoon show about cops, was canceled. COPS was canceled. Live PD was canceled,” McEnany said. "Lego halted sales of their Lego City Police Station. It's really unfortunate."But a Nickelodeon spokesperson refuted that claim Friday afternoon, saying that the show has not been canceled.Also, Lego is still selling Lego City Police Stations on its website.Paw Patrol is a children’s cartoon that shows dogs in rescue situations. The cartoon includes dogs working as police officers, firefighters and other rescue type jobs. The show claims to be the No. 1 ranked TV program for pre-school children.While Live PD and COPS succumbed last month to pressure to cancel amid national unrest over policing and racial injustice, Paw Patrol has remained on the air. There were a few social media posts made that claimed that the show depicts policing in a positive light, and thus should be canceled.The show also caught flack for joining other TV shows in a social media blackout on June 7, which said “muted and listening.”President Donald Trump’s son Eric said that the people who were calling to cancel Paw Patrol are “truly insane.”Besides Paw Patrol remaining on Nickelodeon, the cartoon series is slated to have a full-length movie. The movie is slated for an August 2021 debut. 1450

WASHINGTON (AP) — Human feces, overflowing garbage, illegal off-roading and other damaging behavior in fragile areas were beginning to overwhelm some of the West's iconic national parks, as a partial government shutdown left the areas open to visitors but with little staff on duty."It's a free-for-all," Dakota Snider, 24, who lives and works in Yosemite Valley, said by telephone Monday, as Yosemite National Park officials announced closings of some minimally supervised campgrounds and public areas within the park that are overwhelmed."It's so heartbreaking. There is more trash and human waste and disregard for the rules than I've seen in my four years living here," Snider said.The partial federal government shutdown, now into its 11th day, has forced furloughs of hundreds of thousands of federal government employees. This has left many parks without most of the rangers and others who staff campgrounds and otherwise keep parks running.Unlike shutdowns in some previous administrations, the Trump administration was leaving parks open to visitors despite the staff furloughs, said John Garder, senior budget director of the nonprofit National Parks Conservation Association."We're afraid that we're going to start seeing significant damage to the natural resources in parks and potentially to historic and other cultural artifacts," Garder said. "We're concerned there'll be impacts to visitors' safety.""It's really a nightmare scenario," Garder said.Under the park service's shutdown plan, authorities have to close any area where garbage or other problems become threats to health and safety or to wildlife, spokesman Jeremy Barnum said in an email Monday."At the superintendent's discretion, parks may close grounds/areas with sensitive natural, cultural, historic, or archaeological resources vulnerable to destruction, looting, or other damage that cannot be adequately protected by the excepted law enforcement staff that remain on duty," Barnum said.In the southern Sierra Nevada in Central California, some areas of the Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks were closed Monday evening. In Sequoia, home to immense and ancient giant sequoias, General Highway was closed because overflowing trash bins were spreading litter and posed a threat to wildlife and the icy, jammed roadway was seeing up to three-hour delays, according to the National Park Service.Also closed was the Grant Tree Trail, a popular hiking spot, because the government shutdown halted maintenance and left the path dangerously slick from ice and snow, with at least one injury reported, the park service said.Campers at Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California's deserts were reporting squabbles as different families laid claims to sites, with no rangers on hand to adjudicate, said Ethan Feltges, who operates the Coyote Corner gift shop outside Joshua Tree.Feltges and other business owners around Joshua Tree had stepped into the gap as much as possible, hauling trailers into the park to empty overflowing trash bins and sweeping and stocking restrooms that were still open, Feltges said.Feltges himself had set up a portable toilet at his store to help the visitors still streaming in and out of the park. He was spending his days standing outside his store, offering tips about the park in place of the rangers who normally would be present."The whole community has come together," Feltges said, also by phone. "Everyone loves the park. And there's a lot of businesses that actually need the park."Some visitors have strung Christmas lights in the twisting Joshua trees, many of which are hundreds of years old, the Los Angeles Times reported.Most visitors were being respectful of the desert wilderness and park facilities, Joshua Tree's superintendent, David Smith, said in a statement.But some are seizing on the shortage of park staffers to off-road illegally and otherwise damage the park, as well as relieving themselves in the open, a park statement said. Joshua Tree said it would begin closing some campgrounds for all but day use.At Yosemite, Snider, the local resident, said crowds of visitors were driving into the park to take advantage of free admission, with only a few park rangers working and a limited number of restrooms open.Visitors were allowing their dogs to run off-leash in an area rich with bears and other wildlife, and scattering bags of garbage along the roads, Snider said."You're looking at Yosemite Falls and in front of you is plastic bottles and trash bags," he said.Officials at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado said Monday they were closing restrooms and locking up trash bins in many locations.In Yellowstone National Park, private companies have picked up some of the maintenance normally done by federal workers. The contractors that operate park tours by snowmobile, buses and vans are grooming trails, hauling trash and replacing toilet paper at pit toilets and restrooms along their routes.Nearly all roads inside Yellowstone are normally closed for winter, meaning most visitors at this time of the year access park attractions like Old Faithful or the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone through guides. Those guides are splitting the cost of grooming the trails used by their vehicles to keep their operations going, said Travis Watt, general manager of See Yellowstone Alpen Guides based in West Yellowstone, Montana.The tour companies can likely keep this system going through the entire winter season if they need to, Watt said."It's definitely not our preference — the park service does a good job doing their thing and we hate to see them out of work," Watt said. "But it's something we can handle."___Gecker reported from San Francisco. Matt Volz contributed from Helena, Montana. 5752

WASHINGTON — After months of on-again, and off-again negotiations, a bipartisan economic stimulus deal appears to be on the horizon. While nothing is official, optimism swept Capitol Hill Wednesday that something could be passed by the end of the week. The bill would not only provide economic relief but also keep the government open through 2021. Funding for the federal government officially runs out Friday night at midnight. STIMULUS CHECKS INCLUDED The biggest news is that stimulus checks appear to be included in the bill. While nothing is confirmed, Republican Senator John Thune of South Dakota told reporters that the checks would be around 0-0 per person, which is about half as much as last time. Whether or not you are eligible for a stimulus check will likely depend on your income, just like last time. WHEN COULD YOU GET IT? If Congress is able to pass a bill by Friday night, checks could theoretically be deposited into millions of accounts by New Year's Eve. That's because unlike last time, the IRS has already built the computer program to distribute checks and staffers have experience. This is what Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said back in August about how quickly he could send out the checks. "I can have them out immediately," Mnuchin said. "If I could get that passed tomorrow. I could start printing them the following week," Mnuchin told reporters at the White House in August. "I can get out 50 million payments immediately," Mnuchin added. Just like last time, if the federal government does not have your bank information on file, debit cards and paper checks would likely take several more weeks. 1651
