Doom and Zoom
The race between the vaccines and the variants continues in America. And while the vaccine numbers are promising, the virus numbers are perilous. CDC head Dr. Rochelle Walensky: “Now is one of those times when I have to share the truth, and I have to hope and trust you will listen. I’m going to pause here. I’m going to lose the script, and I’m going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom.”
+ Sharing the truth. What a concept. Meanwhile, from WaPo: Birx tells CNN most U.S. covid deaths ‘could have been mitigated’ after first 100,000. (Some comments are too soon. Some are too late.)
+ Some very positive news: Real world study by CDC shows Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were 90% effective.
