Donât worry, we can change that. The UK is on it.
to be fair, that map was probably accurate as of 2016.
team trump dismantled the pandemic response obama had setup, they filled key positions at the cdc and elsewhere with unqualified managers, they actively held back testing, they sent part of our stockpile of ppp overseas without refilling it, etc
so we were prepared, and then it was all undone.
I hate this graphic from that article; the scales are all different:
Not to mention that there is no normalization for population.
Brazilian scientists discover a new variant of the coronavirus. The mutation is associated with a greater transmission capacity, it has already spread to states in all regions, except for the Midwest
But in a cheerful tone, the government authorized states and mayors to buy vaccines.
Governors of the Northeast have already made a deal with Russian laboratory and purchased millions of doses of Sputnik V. Several cities are also buying their share of vaccines. They hope these vials of vaccine will arrive soon.
I hope these initiatives help to unleash the vaccination campaign that was pacing in a kind of quagmire due to the lack of doses of Coronavac and AstraZeneca.
I sincerely hope so, if there was any place that needed vaccines, you guys are it.

Using climbing ropes and their mettle, the âvertical danceâ troupe Bandaloop performed Wednesday afternoon swinging across the glass front of the Meinel Optical Sciences Building in front of dozens of observers on the University of Arizona campus.
Arizona Arts Live brought the dance group, which combines choreography and climbing, to perform next to the universityâs state COVID-19 vaccination site, which has been running both a drive-thru site on the mallâs east end.
Bandaloop trains dancers and youth at home and on tour, and has performed for millions of people in over 22 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Americas, and Asia, and on screens in films and digital media, according to the groupâs website.
Even if everyone and their dod would distinguish the different vaccines this stays a clusterfuck lacking perspective.
As someone in my filter bubble pointed out: have they ever looked at oral contraceptives? Ever read the side effects?
Got the Pfizer vaccine today and an appointment for my second shot! My 4 yr old was disappointed she canât have one. I reassured her people were working on it and she would get one as soon as possible. Then she asked if I was going to stop wearing masks. That is a big no.
mucho congrats!!
Would it be that awful for Biden to give credit to Trump adminâs âOperation Warp Speedâ as a good or even great start? Seems to me this would lend some cred to Bidenâs factual criticisms. Never say word one about him again. Talk only about the future. Which conveniently doesnât include Trump or his spawn or followers.
Sure, Trump will crow endlessly, but so what?! Let him bleat his lies to an ever-shrinking audience. Heâs done. He doesnât have a significant platform; by the time he does get his voice back, the current administration will be securely established with a fantastic vaccine roll-out done.
Obviously, I am very naive in politics. Iâm fairly sure what Iâm saying here is political suicide.
EDIT: fix formatting
Sure. I mean, that sound bite will be played on Faux News 24/7 for weeks. 45 will claim it as Biden admitting that 45 won the election in a landslide. Why not? /S
I really wish we were at a place where one could proceed with even the slightest assumption of good faith. We are not. Itâs not even that itâs political suicide, itâs that itâs just disheartening to Bidenâs (even reluctant) supporters to end up with that kind of ridiculous blowback.
There is no positive outcome to that path; only negative.
