When Yamada noticed Lopez drop the plates and glasses she was holding, he sprung into action. “I knew to try to protect her head from banging itself into the ground more,” he told WJZ Baltimore. “I just tried to keep her calm, reassure her. I kept telling her its okay, I’m here with you. I started pounding on her back and when I did that four or five times, she suddenly gasped and started gurgling little bit and then came around.”

As we approach the end of another year dealing with the pandemic, we should be proud of our resiliency and efforts to keep each other safe. This week, in an article titled “The Most-Vaccinated Big Counties in America Are Beating the Worst of the Coronavirus,” The Washington Post reported: “Perhaps the most highly vaccinated large County in America, according to New York Times data, is Montgomery County, Md., just outside the District of Columbia. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show 93 percent of those 12 and older there are fully vaccinated, compared to around 70 percent nationally. The number of those dying daily over the past week is eight times as high nationally—3.4 per 1 million—as it is in Montgomery County—0.4 per 1 million—even as Montgomery County is near some virus hotspots.”
