Quick update: Sometime in the next few days, the US death toll from Covid-19 will exceed half a million. That's in about 380 days since the first US death in early February 2020.

Fortunately, the vaccination effort is now recovering from its slow start and is ramping up to scale.

For some time the doubling time for COVID deaths was on a 2-day trajectory. This has now dropped dramatically and is now 150 days for the US and is falling rapidly. It is very clear that President Trump's Warp Speed initiative has been remarkedly successful (despite the remarks of Konfused Kamala).

That sounds rather akin to Trump's repetitive boasts about the stock market hurtling upwards as soon as he'd lost the election

Vaccines have been developed around the world, and the Pfizer one, the first in use, had no finance from Trump's programme

Trump spent ages cultivating ideas in people's minds that behaviour such as wearing masks and social distsncing were almost party political or personal liberty or macho issues. The White House and Trump campaign events were super spreading. How many people ere infected by Guiliani's non-compliance?

Andy, I think MSNBC and CNN are looking for more people to spread the BS, you will fit in just fine. Bob


Nothing I said is actually untrue, though perhaps it didn't need to go quite that far towards revisiting older aspects

Fortunately, in both our countries, vaccine development and rollout looks like being more successful than earlier handling that ranged from fairly average to dismal.

Here (UK), the over 80s, the first group to receive the vaccine, already show marked drops in infections and hospital admissions. Currently we're doing over 65s and clinically vulnerable.
