Winn-Dixie is expanding the number of people eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine at its stores, Southeastern Grocers Inc. recently announced. Unlike other supermarkets in the area, Winn-Dixie and its partner stores Fresco y Más and Harveys Supermarket have only been offering it for about a month.On Feb. 4 Southeastern Grocery said the three will begin to administer 8,100 free Moderna vaccines on Feb. 11 in Florida to healthcare workers, residents and staff of long-term care facilities, and those aged 65 and older. Now the chain is opening it up to anyone under 65 who a doctor says is vulnerable, including teachers and other educators, according to local Tampa, Fla. news station Bay News 9. (Related: Stay healthy with The One Vitamin Doctors Are Urging Everyone to Take Right Now.)The vaccine news comes after it was announced late last month that 24 additional Winn-Dixie stores and two Harvey's Supermarket locations will offer the COVID-19 vaccine in order to reach underserved communities around Florida. However, other grocery store chains have been quicker in their efforts.Back in January, Publix expanded its efforts in both Florida and Georgia. And when Winn-Dixie was announcing the first vaccines at its stores, Walmart was about to expand its offering of the COVID-19 vaccine to over 1,000 locations in 22 states. Many of those added are also considered "underserved areas" with few places to administer the vaccine except at the store. Now, Walmart is opening drive-thru vaccinations in 18 states, including Florida. To see a full list of the states currently offering a drive-thru vaccination at Walmart, click here.Also a little slower to offer COVID-19 vaccines is Costco. Right now the wholesale giant is offering it in five states and Puerto Rico.To learn more about how to get the vaccine at Winn-Dixie, visit the store's COVID-19 vaccination page.

You've heard of the main signs of coronavirus—dry cough, fever and more. But did you know they usually appear in a certain order? So says a study, published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health, and led by experts at the USC Michelson Center’s Convergent Science Institute in Cancer. Read on to see the order so you don't miss the first signs, and to get through this pandemic at your healthiest, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. 1 Fever A fever is one way your body fights off disease. It's also the first sign of coronavirus. "Although a fever technically is any body temperature above the normal of 98.6 F (37 C), in practice a person is usually not considered to have a significant fever until the temperature is above 100.4 F (38 C)," reports MedicineNet. 2 Cough You will likely experience this next. What does a COVID-19 cough feel like and sound like? "Considering that COVID-19 irritates lung tissue, the cough is dry and persistent. It is accompanied with shortness of breath and muscle pain," reports ScienceAlert. "As disease progresses, the lung tissue is filled with fluid and you may feel even more short of breath as your body struggles to get enough oxygen." 3 Muscle Pain This is likely to come after the fever and the cough. "Muscle pain—often caused by muscle inflammation (myositis)—isn't an uncommon symptom for a viral infection," according to Health. "In general, coronavirus, like other viruses, can cause inflammation of the muscle tissue," Amir Barzin, DO, MS, incident commander for the Respiratory Diagnostic Center at UNC Medical Center in Chapel Hill, told Leah Groth. 4 Nausea and/or Vomiting After the first three symptoms, you may feel sick to your stomach. “The upper GI tract (i.e., nausea/vomiting) seems to be affected before the lower GI tract (i.e., diarrhea) in COVID-19, which is the opposite from MERS and SARS,” the scientists wrote. 5 Diarrhea This is the fifth symptom for many, say the researchers. "Diarrhea commonly occurs in people with COVID-19," reports Healthline. "One study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology examined 206 patients with a mild case of COVID-19. They found 48 people had only digestive symptoms and another 69 had both digestive and respiratory symptoms."RELATED: Dr. Fauci Just Said When We'd Get Back to Normal 6 Why the Order Matters to You “This order is especially important to know when we have overlapping cycles of illnesses like the flu that coincide with infections of COVID-19,” said scientist Peter Kuhn, who worked alongside scientist James Hicks and doctoral candidate Joseph Larsen. “Doctors can determine what steps to take to care for the patient, and they may prevent the patient’s condition from worsening.”“The order of the symptoms matter, ” Larsen added. “Knowing that each illness progresses differently means that doctors can identify sooner whether someone likely has COVID-19, or another illness, which can help them make better treatment decisions.” As for yourself, to get through this pandemic at your healthiest, don't miss these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, a popular dine-in movie theater chain with over 40 locations across the U.S., has declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Austin-based company's debt currently totals about $114 million, and as of Wednesday, it has entered into a provisional agreement to be purchased by its primary lenders, Altamont Capital and Fortress Investment Group.In addition, Alamo has announced the permanent closure of three underperforming locations: its venue in Austin—a 90-year-old cinema known as the Ritz—as well as theaters in Kansas City, Mo. and New Braunfels, Texas. (Related: McDonald's Is Making These 8 Major Upgrades.)The restaurant-cinema hybrid company, founded in 1997 by Tim and Karrie League, had enjoyed a particularly successful 2019, which brought competitive box office sales and a new location in Los Angeles. Like other major companies in the hospitality and entertainment industries, however, Alamo's operations were significantly impaired by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns. It was forced to close all of its locations in March, and it did not begin to reopen theaters until late in the summer.Throughout the pandemic, the company moved quickly to shore up its expenses and create new sources of revenue. It furloughed much of its staff and reduced the pay of its corporate and theater-level employees. It also offered private screenings and developed a streaming service for its licensed titles.But it never quite managed to right itself. By the time of the general reopening of its theaters in the summer, the chain's liquidity was "seriously compromised," according to Matthew Vonderahe, Alamo's CFO. By November, the Austin Alamo Drafthouse faced a $1 million lawsuit, for failure to pay rent and other expenses.While the chain remains hopeful about its future, whether customers will return to these types of establishments as the pandemic starts waning is yet to be seen.
