The US is under increasing pressure to share Covid-19 vaccine doses with less wealthy nations.

Calls to share vaccine doses grew louder this week after the Biden administration announced an additional purchase of 100 million vaccine doses from Johnson & Johnson.

The American government has now bought enough doses of vaccines from Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson to vaccinate 500 million people – nearly the entire eligible population twice over.

Government officials have continued to resist sending stockpiled vaccine doses abroad, saying it is part of a plan to be “over-prepared and over-supplied” in the event emerging Covid-19 variants or waning immunity require booster shots.

A 75-year-old man from Hong Kong died in Oakland, California, last Thursday, after being robbed and assaulted by a man police said had a history of victimizing elderly Asian people.

Pak Ho had been taking his early morning walk on Tuesday, authorities said, when a man approached him to forcibly rob him.

In the course of the robbery, the man allegedly punched Ho, causing him to fall to the ground, hit his head and suffer a traumatic brain injury.

Police have arrested a 26-year-old man in connection with the robbery. The arrest comes amid reports of anti-Asian violence, particularly against Asian elders, across the United States.

It's customary for pro golfers to buy a drink for all their fellow players after hitting a hole-in-one.

Well, the field at the Players Championship probably had an excellent Friday evening after two players achieved the unlikely feat within hours of each other.

Denny McCarthy was the first player of the week to make a hole-in-one at the PGA Tour's flagship event.

Then, just a few hours later, Brendon Todd made an ace of his own.

After picking his ball out of the hole, Todd seemed to recognize the hit his bank account was about to take, now that he had to buy drinks for all his competitors, saying: "Could get expensive."
