As an emergency room doctor, Dr. Megan Ranney, said she regularly sees young, previously healthy patients struggling with coronavirus. “We're certainly seeing it more in 20s and 30s as well,” she said. “And people in their 20s and 30s are less likely to be vaccinated and more likely to be out and about.”

Prince Harry has paid a personal tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh. Striking an informal tone the Duke of Sussex said: "He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm—and also because you never knew what he might say next. He will be remembered as the longest reigning consort to the Monarch, a decorated serviceman, a Prince and a Duke. But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa: master of the barbecue, legend of banter and cheeky right 'til the end" 👑 Read more via the link in our bio 👑 #dukeofedinburgh #princephilip #monarchy #royalty #royalfamily #princeharry #dukeofsussex

It is understood that the Duke of Edinburgh's 10 great-grandchildren, will not be in attendance at his funeral this Saturday. Ingrid Seward, author of Prince Philip Revealed: A Man of His Century and editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, says when it comes to very young children, it is not traditional for them to attend Christian funerals. She says, "He wouldn’t want young children racing up and down the aisle. [He thought] you can never go wrong if you follow convention.” Sue Gill, a volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Care disagrees. “Not taking them doesn’t necessarily protect them, because it ties into that thing of not talking about what’s going on...They see the sadness and it’s good for them to hear the happy memories about the person as well. The children need to see everyone’s there and loved that person who died" 👑 Read more via the link in our bio 👑 #royals #royalfamily #funeral #monarchy #princephilip #dukeofedinburgh #family #grandchildren
