Rob Kenney, a man from Washington, opened a YouTube channel to create video tutorials for kids who grew up without a father. Kenney himself grew up without a dad and felt the pain such kids go through. So he created ‘Dad, how do I?’, which is a channel dedicated completely to teaching kids the basics of life.

The channel offers a range of tutorials from planting grass seed to unclogging toilets, from inserting ceiling fans and the basics of managing money. As of writing this article, Kenney’s channel boasts 3.47 million subscribers. His work gained popularity, even having a guest podcast with the likes of Kevin Hart. Kenney is bringing knowledge and joy to millions, whether or not they were raised by a father or not.

Footage shows large groups of people gathered in Paceville’s entertainment mecca with very little police presence in the area. Many can be seen clearly breaking social distancing rules and mask restrictions. Despite several health restrictions being imposed on clubs and bars by the health authorities, the crowd gathering problems are not being addressed by the relevant authorities.

Inspections are only taking place within establishments themselves whereas people are gathering in huge masses outside the very clubs and bars that are forced to close. Yesterday, opening times were extended until 2 a.m as of Monday, but the issue of gathering crowds still seems to be ongoing. Police were present in the area but were clearly not enough to stop the incident. Full opening times are being called for so as to mitigate such events and ensure the safety of all those going to enjoy their night safely.

70% of adults officially fully vaccinated against COVID-19

70% of adults officially fully vaccinated against COVID-19
Jun 26 2021 Share

Health Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne announced on Saturday that 70% of Malta’s adult population has been fully vaccinated. Just over one month after Malta managed to administer at least the first jab to 70% of its population, the statistic shows the successful vaccine rollout Malta has managed. Malta achieved herd immunity on the 24th of May 2021, and is the first EU country to fully vaccinate 70% of adults, leading the 27 nation bloc in terms of vaccine rollout speed.

The Minister also stated how 81% have at least taken the first dose by now, with 650,000 total doses given. The focus was given to over-16s so far but the rollout is gradually moving to younger age groups. Parents can expect invitation letters to arrive soon as the battle against the pandemic continues.
