I'm getting emergency alerts on all my phones from the state telling me the situation is severe, stay home.

Ditto; I live in San Diego and assume it's a reminder since the SoCA region went into a stricter 'shut-down' midnight Monday  :(
It doesn't change much for me (I'm a teacher teaching virtually, haven't gotten a haircut since mid-February, and don't go anywhere other than my classroom since mid-March)

A clinical trial from the UAE reports that Sinopharm's vaccine is 86% effective.  This is a traditional vaccine.  Under emergency use authorization, over a million people have already been vaccinated with it.

Watching those massive trucks depart, in my head I heard Peter Cullen's masterful voice command...."Vaccine trucks....rollout!"

...Oh, I might have actually said that out loud, too.   ::)
It is 2024, and I am still asking...where's my flyin' car??!! @fannishmarcia

I'm still on the Eeyore side of the Cullen spectrum but slowly moving closer to Optimus.

There's a sad thing I've been following, well following isn't the right word. I have an email that I try to reserve for a few important things, my wife has it, our kids have it, CCI has it, and our accountant. Not even my mom has it. The problem is that other people with similar names keep using it accidentally. So I will get an email when some bozo in Australia goes to his favorite strip club , some old man in England orders stuff for his dog, a lady in Little Rock orders from Domino's, and so on.  For the most part I can filter these out but there is one group in particular that keeps popping up, a bible study group in the midwest where I somehow got on everyone's email lists. The people in this group are in their 70s-80s and when covid hit you could tell that many of them weren't taking it very seriously and kept trying to meet up in person. Even when the place they had started using to meet was no longer available (because it was being used to accommodate covid patient overflow) they found other places. Now of course it got into their group and it's been devastating, this is a group of maybe 20 people and 3 of them have died in the last 2 weeks, in 2 cases without any way for their families to say goodbye.

These aren't people I know, or am ever likely to meet, but it's been really sad.

UCLA epidemiologist Dr. Timothy Brewer told the Los Angeles Times he anticipates herd immunity consisting of 60%-70% of the U.S. population by mid-to-late 2021.  He is also optimistic next year’s Thanksgiving and Christmas will be far better than this year’s.

I have a former student who's an ICU nurse dealing with COVID since March, and she was told by her supervisors that she'll likely get the first vaccine dose this week.  In San Diego the first batch will be enough to cover about 70% of front-line healthcare workers, which is better than I originally thought (CA in general will get enough in the first Pfizer batch to cover a bit less than 50% of its front-line healthcare workers).

It's nice to get this bit of good news mixed with the absolutely horrid news of record-setting COVID infection & death spikes!  Kind of a nice "keep your eyes on the endgame, folks: stay safe now, mask up & social distance over the Holiday season, keep healthy because help is on the way!"

Sarah Lindsay, a nurse at a Queens hospital, was the first American to get the Covid vaccine.

it was nice seeing the first shots being given. But it was even better seeing them given to the front-line people **first** !!

I will continue to be optimistic.   :) :)

That really depends on us.  Enough people have to take the vaccine.  It's definitely doable if everyone cooperates.  China resumed having large conventions in October.  So far so good for them.  There haven't been any outbreaks related to the conventions.  But that's because they don't have many outbreaks at all so there's no virus in the community to spread.  That's what's needed to have comic-con again.  It's not a matter of vaccinations.  That's just a tool to bring down the prevalence of the virus in the community.  Until that drops, there will be no large conventions in the US.  So remember to wear masks and maintain your distance even after you are vaccinated.

A few days ago, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN’s Chris Cuomo that if enough Americans take the vaccine, the U.S. could see some return to normalcy between Summer and Fall of 2021.
