The statement also expressed gratitude for all such gifts that the republic received from various countries.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sang his own praises as he cancelled “virtually all” of the state’s virus-related restrictions, which plagued businesses and residents for more than a year, but not everyone’s so thrilled. “If you said to us on day one, at the beginning of Covid, that we would be capable of what we have done, no one would believe it,” Cuomo said, adding that the state now boasts the country’s “lowest Covid positivity rate.”  Hyping the state’s broad obedience to his executive orders, during which 70% of residents received at least one dose of the three vaccines approved for use in the US, the governor declared that business as usual could return on Tuesday. Offices, sporting events, manufacturing sites, malls and child care businesses are free to open their doors once again, Cuomo announced.

One of two suspects in a mass shooting that injured 14 people in Austin, Texas, has been apprehended, but the local newspaper is continuing to withhold the alleged shooter's description to avoid “perpetuating stereotypes.” Austin police offered no details on the arrest, other than saying that it was done with the help of a US Marshals task force. Mention of the arrest was tacked on to an earlier statement regarding the Saturday morning shooting, which described the alleged shooter. It's not clear whether that description applies to the man who was arrested or to the suspect who remained at large as of Saturday evening. The Austin American-Statesman said in an editor's note beneath its coverage of the shooting that it declined to publish the description provided by police, saying it was “too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter, and such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes.”   Also on rt.com At least 13 injured in mass-shootin
