It’s pretty crazy you know? Last year around this time, I was freaking out about corona saying “we are all screwed. There’s going to be no vaccine!” Now one year later, I received my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine last Wednesday and will get the 2nd dose on the 24th.

President Biden is opening up America again, after Trump shut it down. Wonderful to see.

I have a spreadsheet that compiles the 7-day positivity rate for the U.S. for every day going back to Mar. 7, 2020. The lowest was on Sep. 29, when it was 4.27%.

Well, today it was 4.21%.

What is irresponsible about saying that vaccinated people can safely gather indoors? Do you want people to be depressed and have no social life? Should everyone just stick themselves in a protective box and never come out?

According to you it’s responsible to push forward a barely tested one-vaccine schedule ins yesas of what actually was tested properly but it’s not responsible to permit people to have very small gatherings with vaccinated people considering the vaccine after the second dose and two weeks is 95% protective?
Just checking.

Just checking.

People will just assume they don't have to wear masks any more. And I'm obviously not getting a vaccine for a long time thanks to second shots being prioritized.

Part of the guidance today was to continue wearing masks in public places if you're vaccinated. The reason they gave these guidelines because they know if they tell vaccinated people to stay in cocoons then they'll just ignore everything.

The updated numbers for COVID-19 in the U.S. are in for 3/8 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.

Someone on Reddit said it was a backlog of 50,000 antigen tests from Missouri. But it hasn't shown up yet on Worldometers or Corona Scanner.

We had such large declines the last few days that it's kind of disappointing seeing a red number again. Still, one day is not a trend so I won't read too much into it.

Zero evidence of this in the numbers. New York is the state that has the gentlest downward slope that has basically flatlined at a number per capita much larger than it's large state peers. And New Jersey is seeing the upward tick in its moving average, tied with NY for highest per capita in this timeframe.

Texas, Mississippi and Connecticut are down 20 percent W:W. But please keep up with your easily verifiable falsehoods for the sake of the #narrative.

And if those states do see a jump next month, I'm not going to whine about it either! Because what they do doesn't affect me at all, and frankly it barely impacts them! They have decided wisely not to care!

Big news from Alaska, which just became the first state to allow anyone to get vaccinated:


It won't be long before other states follow.

Not Wisconsin, that's for sure. This state is moving at a snail's pace in comparison to most others.

This is great news.  Though this won't be as easy for other states.  Alaska has not only fully vaccinated the largest percentage of their residents already, but they they also have the 2nd youngest population of all states (after Utah).  So they had a much smaller share of elderly residents to get through before they could do this.
