The recent weather in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area has been causing major car accidents, most notably the one on Interstate 35 West. According to CNN, this wreck consisted of 133 vehicles. Photos and videos of this wreck show that least ten of these vehicles were large semi-trucks. Regarding the pile up, six people are reported to have lost their lives as of February 11, 2021, and about sixty-five people have sought medical treatment for any injuries they might have incurred. According to CNN, these numbers are expected to rise in the coming days. As COVID-19 continues to be threat, Pharmacies have began to offer the COVID-19 vaccine. According to CBS News, CVS and Walgreens are two drugstore chains that are among the pharmacies distributing the vaccine. Walgreens will only be giving out a limited amount of these COVID-19 vaccinations across multiple states and Puerto Rico. CVS’s approach is to have an initially roll out of COVID-19 vaccinations in about thirteen states. Other major pharmacy chains joining these two in the distribution are Walmart, Sam’s Club, Rite-Aid, and Costsco, however, not all of these companies will be distributing in California. February 12, 2021 marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year and ushers in the Year of the Ox. This holiday is the cause of major celebration in China, but due to COVID-19, things are more difficult this year. According to CNN, Beijing has urged their citizens to not travel this year, and to instead stay home. Some companies are even paying their workers an incentive so that they stay home. This is all in an effort to reduce COVID-19 rates. This is especially key since the travel during 2020’s Lunar New Year was part of what made the COVID-19 rates raise. It was the Weekend’s turn to perform at the Superbowl on February 7, 2021. The performance opened up with the Weekend on a stage resembling Las Vegas.

To close off the show, The Weekend performed his latest hit, Blinding Lights. Editor-inChief Noah Hernandez
