It seems like we really needed a moderate social distancing policy that citizens and state/local leaders could reasonably stick to for a year vs. what we actually had with a short term near total shutdown and then a free for all, with repeated near total shutdowns in some places.  Something like indoor mask orders + closing schools initially until we determined it wasn't aimed at kids + aggressively breaking up gatherings of >250 (indoor) or >2500 (outdoor) but otherwise letting people live their lives?  All in all, the pro-mask Republican governors probably came closest to this?

It was silly to shut everything down almost nationwide back in March when most of the country had no cases.  Except for in the NYC region, this just delayed the surges while making everyone too fatigued to shut things down again later when they would have been warranted.

We should have banned very large gathering and instituted a national mask mandate, but kept schools open and limited shutdowns to areas where there was a huge surge and the healthcare system was in danger of collapse.

We also should have incentivized vaccine challenge trials.  The currently approved vaccines were developed in about three days, and then delayed three or four months unecessarily while the trials just  waited around for literally millions of people to be infected naturally.

I don't think we knew then where the virus was (and maybe still don't).

Crossed the 4K benchmark. I don't think we'll see 5K per day but still very grim. Also America lost 0.1% of its population to Covid this year

4 thousand dead from the Trump virus and the pro life party is silent. Republican were apoplectic during the 2014 Ebola outbreak which killed 4 Americans.

Rushing the vaccines would have led to widespread skepticism, and that would have killed more people in the long run. That's what happened in China, where corners were cut in its vaccine trial process, and now the Chinese public are reluctant to take it despite the CCP's propaganda and censorship.

The updated numbers for COVID-19 in the U.S. are in for 12/23 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?

 We need to really have better government response to vaccinize people immediately with whatever is available. This response has been such a failure by the Trump administration.

I really don’t understand why there hasn’t been more discussion about the efficiency of giving people one shot verses two. 

This would seem to me to be at least as important, if not more so, as the priority in which different groups receive the vaccine.  In fact, that question becomes much less important if we can agree that one shot is nearly as effective as two, which is what data suggest, at least as far as the RNA vaccines go.

I wish there was more data about Pfizer and this, but if the Moderna data is accurate, it absolutely seems like a critical discussion. The J&J vaccine, if it proves to be accurate, could revolutionize the debate as well.

Absolutely we should be giving 1 shot to as many people as possible, rather than saving them for a 2nd shot, but our country isn't run by geniuses.

If you insist on Moderna because it's one shot it will take longer to get everyone vaccinated.

We should be giving single shots of the two shot vaccines to as many high risk people as possible.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/23/us/susan-moore-black-doctor-indiana.html?

Black Doctor Dies of Covid-19 After Complaining of Racist Treatment

“He made me feel like a drug addict,” Dr. Susan Moore said, accusing a white doctor of downplaying her complaints of pain and suggesting she should be discharged.

Quote
Dr. Moore’s experience highlighted what many Black professionals said they regularly encountered. Education cannot protect them from mistreatment, they say, whether in a hospital or other settings.

Born in Jamaica, Dr. Moore grew up in Michigan. She studied engineering at Kettering University in Flint, Mich., according to her family, and earned her medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School.

She was no stranger to the challenges of getting proper medical care, said Mr. Muhammed, her 19-year-old son. She had sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease that attacks the lungs, and was frequently treated at hospitals.

Damn, RIP Dr. Moore.

We'll probably be well over 400,000 by that point, perhaps close to 450,000.

The CDC/NCHS dashboard keeps a running total of different categories for the pandemic (and is incomplete as it can take up to 8 weeks)  They have a COVID number and various combination of COVID-Pneumonia-Influenza combined.  In previous years, the NCHS would report Influenza and Pneumonia deaths as one category and that number ranged from 50,000 to 59,000 each year from 2017 to 2019. 

The current dashboard from 2-01 thru 12-19 (again incomplete for the last 8 weeks) has a combined 441,000 COVID-Pneumonia-Influenza deaths.  So, really it's likely that we will have hit 400,000 COVID deaths by the end of the this year whenever they get their final categorization

Not sure if this may have already been posted, but the Washington Post has launched a vaccination tracker where you can see how many doses have been administered by state.

At the end of this interview, Fauci says vaccinations of the general public will probably begin in late March or April and will take several months. He thinks they will done by late summer and restrictions may be able to be eased in the Fall.

The updated numbers for COVID-19 in the U.S. are in for 12/27 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?

Older Numbers (Hidden in spoiler mode to make the post more compact)

You say this every time lol.

I thought you said no one's wearing masks there anyway.

But at least we have a timeline, and it's less time than what we've already gotten through.
