Why have some states fared better than others with vaccine distribution.

Reporting by @David_Ingram, @PhilMcCausland and @ChicagoEl.

(1/7) #NBCNewsThreads nbcnews.to/3qTWOHA
@David_Ingram @PhilMcCausland @ChicagoEl While a few states are outliers on either end, the vast majority of states are at roughly the same level, according to an @NBCNews analysis of state vaccination data.

Of the 50 states, 44 have administered 70% to 90% of the doses that have been distributed to them. (2/7)
@David_Ingram @PhilMcCausland @ChicagoEl In the states outperforming the average, state authorities have often taken a strong hand in organizing local efforts, moved quickly to get the public signed up to participate, and have leaned on nearby federal institutions for help.

Nearly a third of all freshwater fish species are threatened by extinction, a new report by 16 conservation groups found.

Over half of the world’s freshwater species have already become extinct, with 16 disappearing in 2020 alone. (1/4) nbcnews.to/3pRbPIN
Populations of larger species, weighing more than 60 pounds, have fallen by a “catastrophic” 94%.

While freshwater fish are vital for the functioning of the world’s rivers, lakes and wetlands, millions of people also depend on them for food security and their livelihoods. (2/4)
Conservation groups point to various pressures on global freshwater fish populations, including habitat degradation, draining of rivers and threat of climate change.

Of the roughly 10,000 species whose conservation status has been assessed 30% are at risk of extinction. (3/4)

The growth of a dangerous Covid-19 variant has thrown South Africa's pandemic response into disarray, raising fears around the world that mutant strains could render the current generation of vaccines ineffective. #NBCNewsThreads (1/7) nbcnews.to/3pSMhLb
“What we are going to see is a cat-and-mouse game between virus changing and then vaccine manufacturers having to quickly change their vaccines,” says Devi Sridhar, professor of global public health at the Univ. of Edinburgh. (2/7) nbcnews.com/news/world/fig…
Signs of trouble came in October when doctors noticed a worrying rise in the number of Covid-19 infections, specifically around Nelson Mandela Bay, the eastern end of South Africa's coastline.

The variant has since been detected in more than 40 countries, including the US. (3/7)

(1/7) #NBCNewsThreads
"I used to run for health reasons," says Akeem Baker, a longtime friend of Arbery who now wears bright clothing during jogs and only runs familiar routes through neighborhoods where he's known.

"Now I run for a sense of therapy, as if I am chasing some sort of freedom."

(2/7)
"His tragic death changed everything for Black runners," says Kevin O. Davis, a member of the Plano Running Club in Texas, which has 2,000 members, almost all of them white.

Under the Biden administration, Customs and Border Protection is allowing entry to the United States for immigrants with extreme circumstances as they await their asylum hearings. #NBCNewsThreads (1/6) nbcnews.to/3aGaikE
A Nicaraguan woman with stage 3 breast cancer; a deaf Central American man who couldn’t navigate the immigration system; a Cuban man who hadn’t seen his newborn son. All were denied entry to the U.S. by fmr. President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. (2/6).
The Nicaraguan woman was diagnosed with cancer when she arrived at the border with her then-four-year-old daughter in October 2019. The diagnosis did not help her gain access or any special protection, even though U.S. immigration attorneys were advocating on her behalf. (3/6)
