The number of COVID-19 infections being reported in the United States continues to decrease, with the country seeing its lowest weekly case numbers since last October. 

There were just over 650,00 new infections reported in the seven days to February 13, according to The COVID Tracking Project. That total represents a 22.3 percent decrease from the number reported last week. 

Hospitalization rates have also deceased 15.7 percent from last week, while deaths are down 13.8 percent in the past seven days. 

However, officials are cautioning that the country is not out of the clear yet. The numbers currently being reported are still far higher than they were during the spring and summer surges of 2020.  

On Saturday, the United States reported 90,199 new COVID-19 cases and 2,303 additional deaths.  

More than  27.5 million Americans have tested positive to the virus, and 483,926 have now died. 

More than 137,000 of those deaths have occurred in the 44 days since January 1.  

There were just over 650,00 new infections reported in the seven days to February 13, according to The COVID Tracking Project.

The number of COVID-19 infections being reported in the United States continues to decrease, with the country seeing its lowest weekly case numbers since last October. A COVID patient is seen being treated in an ICU  bed in California earlier this week 

Meanwhile, the number of COVID-19 vaccinations being administered across the United States continues to increase slightly each day. 

On Friday, 1.66 million Americans received a dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna shot, up slightly from the 1.6 million who received a jab the day before. 

In comparison, on January 13, exactly one month ago, just 710,000 Americans received a COVID-19 vaccine injection.   

On Saturday, officials stated that just over 37.1 million American have received at least one dose of the vaccine.  

While that may sound like a large number, it represents just 11 percent of the population. 

At the current rate, it take until this coming November to partially vaccinate 90 percent of Americans, according to the New York Times.  

Meanwhile, Bill Gates’ daughter, Jennifer Gates, is among those who received her first COVID-19 vaccination this week.

Gates is a second-year medical student at New York’s Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, meaning she is eligible for the shot.  

‘I am beyond privileged to receive my first dose of mRNA to teach my cells to mount a protective immune response to this virus. As a medical student and aspiring physician, I am grateful it will give me protection and safety for my future practice,’ she stated in an Instagram post on Friday. 

Billionaire Bill Gates has been funneling money into vaccine research, sparking wild unsubstantiated conspiracy theories that he is seeking to inject microchips into members of the American population.  

Gates joked about that wild rumor in the caption of her post, writing ‘the vaccine did NOT implant my genius father into my brain – if only mRNA had that power…’

Jennifer Lopez Recreates ‘Love Don’t Cost A Thing’ Video 20 Years Later

Leave a comment

She hoped to inspire copycat videos with a Twitter challenge, but it didn’t go as expected.

Jennifer Lopez celebrated the 20th anniversary of her “J.Lo” album in style this weekend, recreating the now-infamous music video for “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” two decades later.

“Happy 20th Anniversary to my 2nd album J.Lo!!!! Had a little fun at a recent shoot,” she captioned a video on social media showing her walking down the beach to the song, stripping off her clothes in the sand.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Among the hashtags she used was #LoveDontCostAThingChallenge, which she also shared on Twitter. “The #LoveDontCostAThingChallenge STARTS NOW!!!!” she excitedly tweeted. “Can’t wait to see your renditions.”

She didn’t get too many recreations, however — and the replies she did get were absolutely hilarious.

“Not a littering challenge,” joked one follower who retweeted the video — a post which racked up 82K likes. “You want us all to rush to the beach in a pan de queso to have our friends film us throwing away good jewelry? I’m so confused,” read another response liked more than 22K times.

“Jlo we supposed to throw our valuables on the beach?” joked another fan. “Is the challenge to find it after we throw it bc we can’t afford to replace it?!? What is the instructions?!?!?????”

“Girl it’s too cold for that,” posted another follower — while one follower added, “We are in a panini, still haven’t gotten our second stimmy & you want us to go out & throw our shit away in the sand?!?”

Searching the hashtag itself on Twitter surfaced a ton of tweets simply commenting on the lack of recreations … or people hoping for renditions of Nick Cannon’s dance moves in the movie “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” instead.

There were, however, a few videos on Instagram — including one which traded the white sands for snow.

Jennifer Lopez heads straight back to the gym in Miami after performing at Biden’s inauguration… and shows off a sparkly souvenir from the event

By Sarah Abraham For Dailymail.com

Published: | Updated:

Jennifer Lopez had the distinct honor of performing at President Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday in Washington D.C.

On Thursday the 51-year-old megastar wasted no time to get back to her usual routine as she was seen hitting up the gym in Miami. 

A new souvenir in hand to commemorate the monumental day in America, Lopez was seen walking with a rhinestone tumbler that read #Inauguration2021 as she flashed her enviable curves. 

Back to the grind: Jennifer Lopez, 51, hits the gym in Miami with a sparkly new souvenir after stellar performance at Biden’s inauguration where she stunned in Chanel 

A 360 from yesterday’s pristine white Chanel getup, Lopez sported black leggings and a white long sleeve shirt with a white sports bra underneath. 

Ditching the glam for a more casual look, she tossed her hair up in a messy top knot and flexed a fresh pair of black sneakers. 

Oversized sunglasses and a sparkly face mask, she added a touch of glitz to match her new go-to hydrating cup. 

Patriotic performance: The megastar performed a medley of songs in DC on Wednesday, tossing in a line from her 2000 song Let’s Get Loud in addition to some more patriotic tunes

Lopez performed a medley of songs in D.C. as she belted, This Land Is Your Land and America the Beautiful, before casually tossing in a line from her 2000 hit song Let’s Get Loud. 

An emotional JLo took the stage at the Capitol for her take on the patriotic ballads, even reciting the last line of America the Beautiful in Spanish, before surprising the crowd with the nod to her own song.  

Twitter was quick to light up about the decision to slip it into the medley as it became one of the most talked about parts of the inauguration on social media next to the viral Bernie Sanders meme trend.   

A diehard supporter of the Biden campaign alongside fiance Alex Rodriguez, the pair spoke with the now President about the importance of the Latino vote during an Instagram live in October. 

Longtime supporter: JLo and A-Rod threw their support behind Biden from an early point, even chatting with the now President and wife Dr. Jill Biden on an Instagram live in October to discuss the Latino vote 

Blinged out: Seen on most gym occasions with a jeweled tumbler that has her initials, Lopez has now upgraded to one with a Presidential seal of approval 

After President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn in to office, Lopez was seen having many-a ‘swoon’ moments as she walked by them prior to her performance.

In addition to Lopez, other performers included Lady Gaga, Garth Brooks and 22-year-old poet Amanda Gorman who led the daytime festivities. 

 On Thursday a still shaken JLo posted a montage of footage from the inauguration set to parts of her medley as she wrote, ‘Unity is the path forward.’

Making her voice heard: For her medley of songs she stunned in  head to toe white Chanel, topping the look off with a white beret and soft billowy curls 

Emotional: Walking to perform JLo was seen getting a bit choked up as she walked past President Biden and Vice President Harris 

Rodriguez gushed that he was ‘so proud of Jen’ as the power couple posed for some incredible shots on the steps of the Capitol. 

Once night fell on inauguration, Katy Perry, John Legend, Foo Fighters and Demi Lovato – to name a few – put on stellar performances as part of the Celebrating America special. 

On Tuesday evening, Jennifer was seen posing with members of the military stationed around DC for a selfie as she wrote:

 ‘What an honor to spend a few moments with these brave men and women. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I honor you today and everyday.’ 

Making history: Taking pause for a photo op on such a monumental day, she posed in Rodriguez’s arms ahead of her performance as she savored the incredible moment
