Remember "Opening Up America" plan?

The plan was actually kind of decent (airborne aside completely).

Then they gave the power to the states.

In "red" states they said cool, no rules. In "blue" states they said let consultants make rules to help businesses.

Here it is: trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/openingamerica/ it had phases. If you started getting worse, you were supposed to move back to improve things.

All Governors took advantage of how little accountability there was.

We could use the help now.

Finally what did Nancy Pelosi say? Candidate Joe Biden?

This is rich. This is 2 freezers full of $10 ice cream rich.

<bitter laugh>
Also those consultant rules from places like McKinsey™ and Boston Global gave the impression of doing something but also for anyone questioning COVID gave them all the reasons they needed to doubt it was real.

Businesses full but only til 6pm? Big box stores open, little not?

New COVID variant detected in South Africa and 7 other countries - Europe incl -most mutated variant so far

Is it worse?

The paper: The continuous evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in South Africa: a new lineage with rapid accumulation of mutations of concern and global detection
From discussion: Many of the shared mutations have been associated with improved ACE2 binding (N501Y)25–29 or furin cleavage (H655Y and P681H/R)30–32, and reduced neutralization activity (particularly Y144del, 242-244del, and E484K)17,33–39, providing sufficient cause for concern
of continued transmission of this variant. Future work aims to determine the functional impact of these mutations, which likely include neutralizing antibody escape, and to investigate whether their combination confers a replicative fitness advantage over the Delta variant.

I'm very uncomfortable seeing this type of thing. And a lot of people don't understand why.

Your care can change based on perceptions of your care team.
I didn't realize the tech was so good that they can get records if the person can't communicate.

Good to know.
Got one of those little McKoy scanners.

Is this right? 194,610 ppl w COVID here? Was there a backlog somewhere hopefully? Or is it weekly reporting? @SheriD17536431

"Our results suggest that policymakers & individuals should consider maintaining NPIs & transmission-reducing behaviours throughout *entire* vaccination period."

Results of what? Rates of SARS-CoV-2 transmission & vaccination impact fate of vax-resistant strains

Modeling study
This isn't so much about the vax we are using. It's about leadership it seems? (A few tweets⬇️)

"Specifically, a concern is whether a combination of vaccination and transmission rates can create positive selection pressure on the emergence & establishment of resistant strains"
To address this issue, we implemented a model to simulate the probability of emergence of a resistant strain as a function of vaccination rates and changes in the rate of virus transmission, resembling those caused by non-pharmaceutical interventions and behavioural changes
