Anecdotal, but at the University/Hospital my mother works at, nearly a thousand high risk workers will be given the Moderna vaccine.

As a study or as a precautionary measure?

That’s excellent news!  Do you know the timetable for the study?
I would hope that if it shows preliminary effectiveness, they would be able to expand to more high risk groups before approval to be made available to the general public.

The only thing I've read about the Moderna vaccine is that they hope to have information to share by Thanksgiving.

It’s going to take at least a couple of months just to get the right subjects. Honestly this won’t be the major breakthrough study, it will probably be one of the others that are undergoing now. It’s only good in that healthcare workers are going to be the primary recipients.

I've become more and more convinced every day that Moderna is just a pump-and-dump.

The updated numbers for COVID-19 in the U.S. are in for 7/12 per: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

I'm keeping track of these updates daily and updating at the end of the day, whenever all states finish reporting for that day.

Δ Change: Day-by-day Growth or Decline or COVID-19 Spread/Deaths.
  • IE: Are we flattening the curve enough?

Σ Increase: A day's contribution to overall percentage growth of COVID-19 cases/deaths.
  • IE: What's the overall change in the total?

Note: I plan on substituting the Δ Change statistic to ΔW Change instead (I'll probably do this tomorrow or Tuesday), where the new metric would reflect trend percentage changes relative to the same day of the preceding week, rather than the preceding day of the same week--making comparisons more parallel, which controls for the reporting biases that are inherent to our system.

New York City health officials reported zero deaths related to the novel coronavirus four months after the state's first official death was recorded on March 11.

According to initial data reported by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, no one died from the virus in New York City on July 11. Officials recorded no confirmed deaths the day before as well, but did have two probable deaths.

Didn’t you say that about Gilead and Remdesivir?

I dunno. I wish my stepdad had lived to see Trump wear a mask--his response would help me better gauge these folks. But without that information, I feel like such immediate turnaround indicates a bot. That said, if they're not bots, it demonstrates how flipping important it is for Trump to wear a mask as an example.

It might be better to report a seven-day running average.

Texas counties do not report on a purely cyclic basis. Some will have zeroes on one weekend, but not the next, etc. Others will have a dump on the weekend.

I'm not surprised by these numbers. We've known for months that Republicans are far less likely to wear masks in public than Democrats or Independents. And I don't think that is going to change much, even with Trump belatedly, and finally, yielding to the clamors of those who have been urging him to wear a mask (though I'm not sure how long that will last). This poll does show an increase in the number of Americans wearing masks, compared to a month or two ago. This is a combination of two factors: 1) More jurisdictions have made it mandatory to wear masks in public and 2) More people are taking coronavirus seriously as cases continue to surge.

You can always count on Americans to make literally everything, even something so small and easy as wearing a mask during a global pandemic, a partisan issue.

If Trump had the foresight to wear and distribute 'MAGA' masks at the start of April the Republican figure would be in the 90s.
