I doubt it will even get that far. Once it becomes clear that some hospitals/nursing homes are willing to do this, people will be getting vaccinated real quick.

They should make it mandatory. But, even if they don't, then release the stock to whoever wants it.

So it seems the main reason is distrust in the government and rushed nature of the vaccine. Can't really blame people for not trusting the government.

No, we can absolutely blame people for being distrustful. Fuck these people.

Well that was fast. South Africa strain getting more coverage. Already been known for 2 months and spreading slowly.

It should be noted that with the South African variant, the only certain part is that it may obviate some of the monoclonal antibody treatments. When they say it "partially" evades natural antibodies, they don't actually know how substantial that part is nor does T cell interaction come into play. There's only this preprint at the moment, so it's something to watch for.

But typical for CNBC to pounce on a preprint and act like it's a countdown to the vaccines being useless. Though I still agree with the urgency to speed up the vaccinations.

There is nothing stopping us from having a day that is going to go over 5000 deaths sometime soon.

A general figure that's been noticed since summer is that of confirmed cases in the US, about 1.7% go on to die. So for yesterday's number of 260,973, that would mean about 4,436 deaths 22 days from now, though this and the 4,100 from yesterday are still partially from the holiday backlog. We probably are getting back to "normal" figures by the end of this week.

300k confirmed cases in a single day would do it, though.

Because they are trying to limit the people getting it too much. Just open it up to everyone at this point.

Virginia's positivity rate seems to be declining, finally. Deaths are at an all time high which relative to other states "hasn't been that bad," and the cases are a little down from last week so far.

The Super Bowl is probably the biggest potential community spread event coming up for the US until Memorial Day, with all the little gatherings that may happen. Beyond that there's Mardi Gras which mainly affects New Orleans (like it did last year) and then St. Patrick's Day which hits pub and bar goers which are some of the most likely to have been infected already. Easter is right around the point where significant proportions of the population will be open to vaccination, particularly if the J&J single dose vaccine is available (and efficacious) then. It will still be a bit problematic, though.

I'm hopeful that by Memorial Day the prospect of a holiday surge represents only a minimal uptick in spread.

In case anyone doesn't wanna read the study, it basically says lockdowns either don't work or relatively have very minimal effect on spread in comparison to just voluntary methods of limiting transmission.

Well if you weren't already going to do it voluntarily, you aren't going to change your behavior in what is mostly a toothless lockdown. Like they may have closed restaurants, but you are still going to see your buddies elsewhere. All it likely does is convince a small group of people to begrudingly follow some steps.

Of course this minimal effect can be a difference maker. A 7% or 13% decrease can be quite significant in the right circumstances.

I think it's saying you can achieve that 7% to 13% decrease through other ways already so the lockdowns don't really have any significant effect.

No, what they said is that the lockdowns in France were 7% and 13% better than Sweden and South Korea, countries which did not have any lockdowns in terms of reduction in case growth.

However, the error bars are crazy large, +/-12% for Sweden and a monstrous +/-25% for South Korea. At that point it's not really telling us much.

These are the same dudes that have been pushing an anti-lockdown narrative since the very beginning, including publishing an extremely flawed study on seroprevelance early in the pandemic where they claimed (because of their bad study design along with basic math/statistics errors) that some enormous fraction of the population already had covid and that the death rate was correspondingly super low

I would take anything they claim to have found with a mountain of salt

(Bhattacharya and Ioannidis, at least. Can't recall if the first two authors were also on that other paper).
