🌍VACCINE DATA UPDATE (Dec. 30)💉

🇺🇸Some good-ish U.S. news -- pace picking up slightly 2.66M vacc shots done (+300k vs y'day, vs 200k/day average), likely getting out of some holiday slump/lag.

Several states are now over 200k

In the U.S., we also now have some states crossing the 2% line in terms of population getting first doses: West Virginia + South Dakota:

Yesterday, I wrote about the slow pace of vaccination happening in the U.S., which has raised concerns inside and outside government:

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Today, @angelicalavito reports that some states are opening up the doors to more people in the 1b groups because of the slow pace

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
And a few EXCITING UPDATES to our graphic. We've got a global map now for vaccinations! And sortable tables by per-capita vaccinations!
bloomberg.com/graphics/covid…
Sort by per capita, which is fun. (Check out Israel)
And, we expect that a bit later today @CDCgov will post jurisdiction-level data, which we're going to incorporate as quickly as we can. Stand by!

We've made some big changes tonight, including:

1) Added CDC data
2) Used state counts when ahead of CDC
3) Made some BIG updates to the map + table -- you can see doses been shipped to states + what % of doses have been used

bloomberg.com/graphics/covid…
The CDC data is available here, which is GREAT:

(some people are having trouble w/ the CDC site -- i had to browse incognito or clear cache/cookies)

🌍VACCINATION DATA UPDATE (Dec. 29)💉

TRENDS: We are now at 20+ countries with data, plus U.S. states, Canada provinces, UK countries.

🌍5.1 MILLION doses given globally
🇺🇸2.32 million doses given in U.S. (+~200k from yday CDC)

bloomberg.com/graphics/covid…
The pace of vaccinations in the U.S. is going at about 200k/day, on average. This is...not as fast as expected. The U.S. will fall very, very far short of its 20M doses by end of 2020 goal, by our analysis:

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Here's our analysis (focused on states with recent data, using their first three allocations) of who is working through vaccine doses fastest/slowest:

The U.S. is vaccinating only 200,000 people a day, and will end the year millions short of its goal of 20 million shots administered.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Many states have administered only a fraction of the doses allocated to them in the early weeks. Some as little as 10%, according to our analysis published this evening. @business

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
So far, the U.S. has administered just over 2 million shots. There is -- certainly -- data lag. But not 18 million doses of data lag, or likely anything even close to that.

Where do Americans get their Covid-19 data from?

This is the inside story of how a group of journalists, optimists, academics and hundreds of volunteers built @COVID19Tracking project to tell the U.S. how the pandemic is evolving.

bloomberg.com/news/features/…
The folks at @COVID19Tracking, including @alexismadrigal @kissane and many others, invited me in to look under the hood, hang out in their Slack, do some data entry, and generally interview anyone I wanted. It was incredibly trusting, and I can't thank everyone there enough.
I'll share here some observations that are in the piece:

A few months ago, I asked the makers of Lysol if they'd tell me every last thing about how they make it and how it works.

Twenty hours of interviews later, a lot of chemistry, and many, many questions about trains, air freight and factories...

bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Please come for the ethanol chemistry, and stay for the quat supply chain stories:
bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Lysol's parent, @discoverRB, is on track to make 35 million cans a month in the North American market. Their usual max -- running 7 day a week, 24 hours a day, is 10 million.
