The White House's COVID Data Director said today the U.S. administered 864,000 doses of the vaccine in the last day, which included 585,000 first doses. That marks the highest single-day numbers in over a month. This comes as the Delta variant spreads and hospitalizations are rising among the unvaccinated. This comes as Yelp says there will be two new attributes added to business listings that can aid customers in understanding a location's vaccination requirements. The company says business listings can include whether proof of vaccination is required, and whether all staff are fully vaccinated. Users can also filter their searches using these attributes. The company says it will also be monitoring the pages of businesses that activate these attributes to protect against backlash for their vaccination policies.

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. More than 76,000 Coloradans are among the 6.2 million people in the U.S. – and over 50 million worldwide - living with the only major disease without prevention or a cure. What many people do not realize is that there are many programs and services available at no charge that can help families affected by Alzheimer’s cope with the disease and help their loved ones live better. Andrew Rogers was joined on 'The Extra' by   RoseMary Jaramillo, Jim Herlihy, and Charlotte Long with the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado.

Humans spend nearly a third of their lives asleep, and although the evolutionary purpose for sleep remains elusive, current sleep habits are the consequence of the industrial revolution and development of artificial light.  Evidence suggests that losing sleep can cause problems with memory, particularly working memory, the process that allows people to hold information in an easily accessible way while working out a problem.  People who are sleep-deprived also struggle with choosing what to pay attention to and regulating their emotions.  On Monday's "The Extra", host Shannon Brinias discussed the issue of sleep with Dr. Hazem Ubaissi of Optum.  To book an appointment with Dr. Ubaissi for Sleep Medicine services contact our team at 719-866-6627 or visit cosprings.optum.com.

Another big name car manufacturer is going all-electric.  Mercedes-Benz announced today that from 2025 onwards, all newly launched cars will be electric-only and customers will be able to choose an all-electric alternative for every model the company makes. Other carmakers including Volkswagen's Audi, General Motors and Volvo have also indicated they are moving away from gasoline and diesel engines over the long term.  And for those who already own EV's, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said earlier this week that the company’s DC fast-charging stations, also known as the "Tesla Supercharger network," will be opening up to other types of electric vehicles later this year. 

COVID-19 numbers nationwide are continuing their quick upward trend.  The rise has been dramatic in recent days among mainly the unvaccinated.  In Northeast Florida hospitals are reporting they are approaching or exceeding levels seen during the worst of the pandemic.  Despite some breakthrough cases the CDC is standing firm that fully vaccinated Americans don’t need to return to masking but that discussions are currently underway to figure out if that guidance will change.  In Los Angeles cases have risen 20 fold over the same day a month ago.  LA County reported over 2500 new cases on Wednesday.  If CA were to still be using color coded tiers LA would be in the most restrictive purple tier again. 

Last week, Safe Passage broke ground on a new co-located children’s advocacy center on the westside of Colorado Springs.  Safe Passage is a nationally accredited children’s advocacy group, and the new Center will that provide hope and healing to children who have experienced abuse and neglect, through a communal space bringing together key partner agencies.  Guests Maureen "Mo" Basenberg, Exec.
