Today, I went maskless at my job for the first time in more than a year. It has been two weeks since I received my second dose of the Moderna vaccine, so I am now fully vaccinated, under the CDC's definition. I felt some trepidation at doing so, given my personal situation at home which I've talked about elsewhere, and it was very different from what I had become used to. But I stuck with it. I will still carry my mask on my person, and I'll still wear it where required or when I'm with my family members. But otherwise, I'm done. Hopefully, the situation will continue to improve so that within the next few months, masks will no longer be worn by all but a few.

The New York Times has published a report on "most likely coincidental" incidents of heart irregularities in vaccinated young adults.

I may have mentioned this in other threads, but I'm dealing with some vaccine-hesitant family members. None of them watch conservative media and hadn't been anti-vax before. They're scared because "credible" organizations are bombarding them with horror stories about unverified one-in-a-million negative effects of the vaccine.

What I always say to vaccine hesitant people I know is that when something like these vaccines have so much good to offer society, it's easier to focus on the bad than vice-versa.

That's a good line, thanks. I'll try to use that one.

I also got the second vaccine dose last week and am fine so hopefully that, combined with the mask mandates ending for vaccinated people, will encourage them.

Michigan's state welcome center on Interstate 69 just north of the Indiana state line offers free tests for COVID-19 with a thirty-minute response.

What do you have to lose?

The updated numbers for COVID-19 in the U.S. are in for 5/24 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.

ΔW Change: Comparisons of Weekly Day-to-day Growth or Decline of COVID-19 Spread/Deaths.
  • IE: Comparing the numbers to the same day of last week, 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?

Brackets []: These represent the total change for the day, including backlogged reports, if any.
  • These numbers are inflated relative to the actual reports for the day, so they are not used to calculate the comparative percentage shifts.

Biden tasks intelligence community to report on Covid origins in 90 days

Quote
President Joe Biden said Wednesday he has directed the US intelligence community to redouble their efforts in investigating the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic and report back to him in 90 days.

The announcement comes after a US intelligence report found several researchers at China's Wuhan Institute of Virology fell ill in November 2019 and had to be hospitalized -- a new detail that fueled further debate about the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

"As part of that report, I have asked for areas of further inquiry that may be required, including specific questions for China. I have also asked that this effort include work by our National Labs and other agencies of our government to augment the Intelligence Community's efforts. And I have asked the Intelligence Community to keep Congress fully apprised of its work," Biden said in a statement.

It’s hard to believe that 54% of Trump voters are fully vaccinated when only 50% of all US adults are actually fully vaccinated.

Somebody asked Elliott about that on Twitter and he said that nonvoters are less likely to get vaccinated.

Yeah, keep in mind this country has a lot of nonvoters. Just being any kind of voter already makes you special.

New study on immunity; might last longer than expected. Still no coherant data on the question that needs more research as we gather more data over a longer period of time.
