While celebrating her victory in becoming the first African-American woman picked to lead Chicago, Lori Lightfoot thanked the city and those who blazed the trail for her victory."We may be strangers but in this room, in this city we are all neighbors," she told a cheering crowd following her win.Lightfoot faced a historic runoff Tuesday against Toni Preckwinkle, who is also an African-American woman."Now that it's over I know that we will work together for the city that we both love," Lightfoot said at her campaign celebration. "Today you did more than make history, you created a movement for change."She told her followers they were going to remake Chicago, home to 2.7 million people."Now we're going to take the next steps together," she said. "Together we can and will finally put the interests of our people, all of our people, against the interests of a powerful few."Her competitor vowed to keep working on issues important to her."This may not be the outcome we wanted but while I may be disappointed, I'm not disheartened," Preckwinkle told supporters after she called Lightfoot to congratulate her.Mayor Rahm Emanuel was not in the race, as he was not seeking a third term.Lightfoot, 56, a former assistant US attorney, describes herself as "an out and proud black lesbian." When she is sworn in, she will be the first mayor in the Windy City who identifies as a lesbian."Out there tonight a lot of little girls and boys are watching. They're watching us. And they're seeing the beginning of something, well, a little bit different," Lightfoot told the crowd on Tuesday with a wry smile."They're seeing a city reborn. A city where it doesn't matter what color you are," she continued. "Where it doesn't matter who you love, just as long as you love with all your heart."In the wake of the Laquan McDonald scandal -- in which a white police officer, Jason Van Dyke, shot the black teenager 16 times as he walked away from police -- Lightfoot was appointed by Emanuel to head the newly created police accountability task force.Preckwinkle, 72, is a political insider who heads the 2109

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday that he’s optimistic that the United States will have millions of coronavirus vaccines ready by the end of the year. “By the beginning of 2021, we hope to have a couple of hundred million doses,” said Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Fauci made the comment during an interview with the American Medical Association and added that there are four or five trials underway for vaccine candidates to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci also said Phase III trials for a vaccine candidate developed by Moderna are expected to start in early July and another candidate from AstraZeneca is proceeding on a similar track. "I'm cautiously optimistic that with the multiple candidates that we have with different platforms, that we're going to have a vaccine that shows a degree of efficacy that would make it deployable," said Fauci. 987

When people think of pandemics, they might think of a severe disease. But it turns out, pandemics have nothing to do with severity – and everything to do with location.By definition, a pandemic is the global spread of a disease that impacts a large number of people.Think of pandemics as being at the top of a three-tier system of classifying infectious disease.Outbreaks are at the base. They happen when cases of a disease suddenly surge past expectations. The flu is an example of an outbreak doctors expect to see every year.On the second level – epidemics. They happen when the disease involved in the outbreak spreads quickly to a lot of people in a short period of time. They can be local or regional.You’ll find pandemics on the third tier. They’re basically epidemics, but on a global level. That typically means more infections and more deaths.Pandemics are often the result of a new virus or new strain of virus.According to the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, it says new diseases spread fast because people don’t have immunity.The APIC says pandemics do damage beyond health, saying they also often cause disruption, economic trouble, and general hardship.So, what does this mean for COVID-19? There’s no specific infection or death rate that triggers a pandemic designation. And U.S. leaders recently said the word is largely up to interpretation. For that reason, different health organizations may declare COVID-19 a pandemic at different times.Experts say declaring a pandemic can help get the world on board with finding – and funding – a solution. 1615

Two Democratic congresswomen on Tuesday introduced a bill that would block federal funding for the 2026 men's World Cup until the US Women's National Team earns "fair and equitable wages compared to the US men's team."The legislation, co-sponsored by Reps. Doris Matsui of California and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, comes amid the team's longstanding battle for equal pay.Months before the tournament, members of the Women's National team filed a lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation, claiming they deserve to be paid what the American men are paid for their international performances. In one hypothetical case cited in the lawsuit, if the women's and men's teams both won 20 straight games in a season, the women would make 38% what the men do.Matsui and DeLauro say the federal government shouldn't make any financial contribution for the 2026 tournament, which will be spread through venues across the US, Canada and Mexico, until the playing field is level for female athletes."Until the USSF provides real reforms ensuring equitable pay for our male and female athletes, the U.S. government has no business contributing potentially billions of dollars in support for the 2026 World Cup," Matsui said in a statement.DeLauro said federal funding for the men's tournament in 2026 would be "encouraging the pay gap to continue.""Congress needs to ensure women in the same job are getting the same pay," DeLauro said in a statement.Two weeks ago, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin introduced a Senate version of the bill, which would similarly block federal funding until US Soccer agrees to "provide equitable pay."Still, it's unclear just how much money would actually be withheld if the bills succeed in Congress. 1728
