DEVELOPING: Covid cases, deaths surging around the world as variants spread, vaccination lags.

nbcnews.to/3d2gTH2
Hospitals in Turkey and Poland are filling up. Pakistan is restricting domestic travel to bring a surge in coronavirus infections under control.

Thailand, which has weathered the coronavirus pandemic far better than many nations, is now struggling to contain a new surge.
Even countries where vaccine rollouts are finally getting some momentum, infections, hospitalizations and deaths are surging, AP reports.

That leaves even bleaker prospects for much of the world, where largescale vaccination programs remain a more distant prospect.

Back when Covid-19 vaccines first started being distributed, getting an appointment was so maddeningly difficult that many people were plunged into despair.

Then, like magic, the “vaccine fairies” appeared. #NBCNewsThreads (1/7) nbcnews.com/news/us-news/m…
A volunteer army of computer-savvy Americans has stepped up to help family, friends, and even strangers book appointments.

Many are found through word-of-mouth, but some volunteer nonprofits like “Vaccine Fairy” have claimed to secure nearly 8,000 appointments nationwide. (2/7)
The 126 bookings that volunteer Zulay Beltran has made were in honor of her 83-year-old grandmother, who died of Covid-19 last April.

“I think about how hard it would have been for her to schedule an appointment,” Beltran says. “She would have wanted me to help others.” (3/7)

A news void in Pennsylvania — after the decline of the local newspaper — has led to the creation of “The News Alerts of Beaver County” Facebook group, a place where the community can self-report news.

That's worked out, sometimes.

Beaver County is what's known as a news desert — one of 20 in the state with only a single newspaper or no newspaper. The sole newspaper that covers Beaver County, the Beaver County Times, was slashed by its corporate owners.

Less journalism has led to more misinformation. (2/7)
In 2019, residents of Chippewa Township could see police searching for a man on the run. Word spread within the area’s 43K member Facebook group. Users feared the man was a killer on the loose.

He wasn’t a murderer. There were no shootings. He fled traffic-related charges. (3/7)

With millions of renters staring down evictions during the pandemic, the CDC on Monday extended its nationwide ban on evictions until June 30, but that’s not stopping some landlords from giving renters the boot.

In March, a sheriff's deputy walked up to a home in Oklahoma and told the woman inside to leave.

The woman, with a family of 5 children, was financially supported by a non-profit that had already paid her landlord the $5,600 she owed. She was evicted anyway. (2/7)
Her landlord, Gary Ramey, had signed a document agreeing to drop the case after the back rent was paid, but he still moved forward with the eviction.

“I don’t remember that,” Ramey said. “I thought they were just helping them catch up with rent.” (3/7)
