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:
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

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.
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:
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.
