1/ A: “Great trend, but terrible levels.”

That’s the TL;DR from well-respected labor economist @aaronsojourner in response to last week’s release of the March 2021 jobs report.

2/ 👍The good news: The numbers roundly beat Dow Jones expectations. (Expectations: 675k added jobs; Actuals: over 900k added jobs). Yay! cnb.cx/2R877KY

👎The less good news: The economy was still approx. 10 million jobs below pre-pandemic trend.
3/ The President’s Council of Economic Advisers (@WhiteHouseCEA) estimates that we could be back to pre-pandemic employment by the end of this year if this faster pace of job growth continues.

4/ We Nerdy Girls celebrate the emerging green shoots while also continuing to hold in our hearts those eager but unable to work. ❤️

Love,

1/ A: Make a copy, share it with your primary care provider, think before sharing it on social media, probably best not to laminate the original, and don’t panic if you lose it. 📱👛🍩
2/ 👌 DO THIS with your COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card:

📷 Take a photo of the card.

Snap a photo of your official #CDC or other government-issued #vaccinationcard in case it gets lost. Take a photo after the first shot, and another one after your second shot.
3/ 👩‍⚕️Send it to your primary care provider.

Upload a copy of the completed vaccination card to main clinician or to your online medical chart so it can be included in your official vaccination records.

1/ Do I need the vaccine if I’ve already been infected w/ COVID-19? Isn’t natural immunity better?

A: COVID-19 vaccines produce STRONGER & MORE CONSISTENT antibody responses than natural infection, meaning EVERYONE can benefit from the protection.

💥Don’t give away your shot!
2/ As more people become eligible for the COVID-19, we’ve heard some people who’ve already been infected, especially younger people, doubting whether they need the vaccine.
3/ We now have good evidence that vaccines produce HIGHER antibody levels on average against SARS-CoV-2 than natural infection, & people vaccinated after previous infection get a BIG boost.

1/ Q: What is going on with the results from the United States AstraZeneca trial?

A: Despite a *strange* communication week, the new trial results show that the #Oxford/#Astrazeneca is safe & effective. GOOD NEWS!
2/ TLDR: The first results this week were based on data collected in the U.S. through a pre-specified end date for interim analysis of Feb 17th. They continued to collect data beyond that date & have now released updated results..spoiler alert..they are very similar (76% vs 79%). Efficacy Table from Dr. Eri...
3/ On March 22nd, @AstraZeneca reported results (by press release) but received push-back on March 23rd from the U.S. Data Safety & Monitoring Board who claimed the press release efficacy was not based on full data. astrazeneca.com/media-centre/p…

1/ It’s Good News Tues!

Yesterday, the United States @CDCgov issued new guidelines stating that 👏🏼 fully 👏🏼vaccinated 👏🏼 people can safely:

1️⃣ Visit other #vaccinated people indoors--without wearing masks or physically distancing! 😷
2/ 2️⃣ Visit unvaccinated people--without wearing masks or physical distancing, as long as the unvaccinated people (& the people they live with) are low risk for severe #COVID!

3/ 3️⃣ Skip #quarantine & testing if they are exposed to someone who has #COVID19! But, do monitor for symptoms for 14 days, get tested, & start quarantining if symptoms develop. Remember, symptoms can be all over the map, & might be quite mild (especially after vaccination).
