May 13 2021

Having kicked off back in 2008, ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ will be airing its final season in 2022, with the host stating that she is no longer being challenged creatively. Now 63-years-old, Ellen stated that ‘when you’re a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged – and as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, its just not a challenge anymore’. There have been more than 3000 episodes throughout the whopping 18 season run, with Ellen sitting down with Oprah on an upcoming episode to discuss the end.

Warner Bros unscripted TV President Mike Darnell stated that ‘Ellen was and is an indelible piece of the television landscape, and it will be sorely missed.’ DeGeneres commented on the end stating that ‘Look, its going to be really hard on the last day, but I also know its time.’ Despite not having any set plans for her immediate future, Ellen did not completely rule out returning to sitcoms or movies.

400,000 vaccines officially administered in Malta as cases drop significantly

May 13 2021

Malta has officially administered over 400,000 vaccines to its public, making herd immunity a very close goal indeed. 400,118 vaccines were administered in total today, of which 272,025 were first doses. Malta currently has 130,537 people vaccinated, with the vaccine rollout extending to over-16s next week. The active and daily cases have also dropped significantly, proving that the vaccine rollout met its intended goal.

With only 4 cases reported today and the number of active cases dropping beneath 200, health authorities have started to ease measures as the return to normalcy becomes more tangible. The vaccination rollout has also eased the tension on health care systems in Malta, but COVID-19 is still a very real threat. Authorities therefore remind the public to keep adhering to the health restrictions remaining so as to keep numbers low.
