Ted's wife Janet, 67, died of breast cancer in 2015. During their lives they adopted three cats from the shelter and Janet Walinski also brought stray cats to the facility

The Walinskis saw the facility's previous director, Cheryl Schneider, increase the shelter's rate of saving animals lives to 90% and wanted to support that, she said.

An organ transplant team's charter plane was unable to return back to St. Louis from Chicago due to bad weather. With only 8 hours to get the lungs back, they rushed to Midway Airport & were able to get on the only flight leaving that morning fox2now.com/news/missouri/…

“I walked up to the counter and told the ticket agent that I’m a doctor, this is a set of human lungs I’m carrying for an organ transplant, and you guys have a flight that leaves at 6:20. I need to be on it,” Dr. Caldwell said.

Dr. Caldwell said she and her team then sprinted through Midway with their scrubs on and with their precious cargo in tow.

“I just kept thinking how valuable what we’re doing is and that I’m not gonna let this not happen”

@mvankerkhove

Omicron is not "mild." It is less severe than delta, but hospitalizations and deaths continue to increase due to Omicron. Worldwide deaths have increased for the 6th week in a row @mvankerkhove

@mvankerkhove

It's the 6th week in a row that we're seeing increasing deaths from COVID-19. In the last week alone ~75,000 people died. And we know that is an underestimate @mvankerkhove

@DrMikeRyan

75,000 people died from COVID last week. At the peak of this pandemic, at the highest week ever there were 110,000 deaths and that was considered to be the most awful week in the pandemic. We're at 75,000. It's not a whole long way from there @DrMikeRyan
