ara María Paula Alzate y Emiliano Gross, su historia de amor comienza con una amiga. Originaria de Colombia, Alzate estaba cursando sus estudios de pregrado en Kansas City cuando una amiga le pidió que le diera a ella y a su amigo de fuera de la ciudad un recorrido por la ciudad. Ese amigo de fuera de la ciudad era Gross, un estudiante internacional de Argentina que cursa sus estudios de pregrado en McPherson, Kansas.

or Maria Paula Alzate and Emiliano F Gross, their love story starts with a friend.
Originally from Colombia, Alzate was pursuing her undergraduate studies in Kansas City when a friend asked her to give her and her out-of-town friend a tour of the city. That out-of-town friend was Gross, an international student from Argentina pursuing his undergraduate studies in McPherson, Kansas. However, sparks did not fly when they met. “You know that stereotype that Argentinians are a little full of themselves, and so, that’s how I thought he would be,” Alzate admitted.

a editora de Dos Mundos, Clara Reyes, recibió su primera dosis de la vacuna COVID-19 de Pfizer. Ahora, Reyes comparte su historia para alentar a la comunidad hispana del área de Kansas City a vacunarse. “Creo que la vacuna es una buena idea porque nos protegerá, y animo a todas las personas que quieran obtenerla a que lo hagan”, dijo. Reyes se había inscrito para recibir las dosis hace dos semanas. Finalmente, la semana pasada, recibió una llamada con fecha y hora. “No sentí nada; fue solo un piquetito, y después de eso, no tuve ningún efecto secundario”, dijo. Está previsto que Reyes reciba la segunda dosis la próxima semana. Kansas está vacunando a personas en las Fases 1 y 2 de su plan de distribución, siguiendo las pautas de distribución

os Mundos editor Clara Reyes got her first dose of Pfizer’s COVIDD 19 vaccine. Now, Reyes is sharing her story to encourage the Kansas City area’s
Hispanic community to get the vaccine. “I think the vaccine is a good idea because it will protect us, and I encourage all the people who would like to get it to do so,” she said. Reyes had signed up for the doses two weeks ago. Finally, last week, she got a call with a time and date. “I didn’t feel a thing; it was just a sting, and after that, no other side effects,” she said. Reyes is scheduled to get the second dose next week. Kansas is vaccinating people in Phases 1 and 2 of its distribution plan, following distribution guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Phase 2 includes people ages 65 and older; high-contact critical workers; and all unvaccinated people prioritized in Phase 1 – health care personnel, residents or patients in long-term care (LTC) senior housing or LTCsupported independent living and workers considered critical to pandemic response continuity. Missouri is vaccinating residents eligible in its first three groups. Those groups include people ages 65 and older, and
