Texas dies of COVID-19 in Spirit Airlines flight
A Texas woman died of COVID-19 while aboard a Spirit Airlines cockpit from Dallas from Las Vegas last July, authorities said this week.

Kitts said the New Mexico Medical Investigator’s Office, which handles deaths in the state, responded to the airport. The workplace may not be able to be contacted for comment.
Dallas officials first said the woman died in Arizona, a widely informed detail, before confirming that she had indeed died in New Mexico.

These votes are not binding, but the FDA continues to make advances from its advisory committees.
“Going from where we were in January and February, where we’re going to be affected by this tsunami, to the max, probably has a vaccine, or more than one vaccine, which has proven effective in a year, is incredibly impressive, and it would only have happened with strong and effective federal action,” said Robert Wachter, director of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.
