Hello Phantasmal,

Thanksgiving did, too and now we’ll start the Christmas and New Year spike with the new more contagious version spreading the disease.

And all of that 'open the economy' push during the fall, coupled with sending kids back to school. The kids don't show symptoms but they transmit the disease to the adults. The young adults with kids are going to bars and socially irresponsible rallies and then visiting older relatives for the holidays. No reason to expect anything less than huge surges in the pandemic numbers for the next few weeks, sadly. And it didn't have to be that way if we had better leadership sending clear and concise messages.

So interestingly there is great concern that this bug is already moving towards evading our vaccines...talking about the South African strain.

Making even more stupid for most people to be taking the vaccines.
 
The new variant has mutated a part of the spike protein that our antibodies bind to, to try to clear the virus itself, so this is concerning,” Gottlieb said. “Now, the vaccine can become a backstop against these variants really getting more of a foothold here in the United States, but we need to quicken the pace of vaccination.”

It really is a race against time trying to get more vaccine into people’s arms before these new variants become more prevalent here in the United States,” said Gottlieb.

Does this make sense to anyone? This looks like an obvious logic fail to me.
 
OMG.

Bad numbers yesterday.

Four Thousand Americans died in one day.

So glad we are getting new leadership.

Can't come soon enough.

ANOTHER FOUR THOUSAND.

This is so terrible.

We can't get rid of Trump fast enough.

Americans are dying by the thousands for his ineptitude.

Meanwhile, in a better example of how to handle a pandemic, Taiwan still has just 7 deaths total.
