Far more serious strain now on the loose in Britain. 8 European countries and counting have closed all airports to flights From the UK for at least the next 2 days France has closed the euro tunnel and ports to British ferries and freighters.

In totally unrelated news, the Brexit Negotiations deadline is less than two hours away.

Not for everyone.

My aunt, who has a serious lung disease that will eventually kill her and keeps her connected to an oxygen tank, got it. Spent a couple of days in the hospital for observation, but went home after a few days with minor symptoms.

Weird disease. I thought for sure if she got it, she'd be a goner.

My grandma shrugged it off too. Just had flu like symptoms for a week or so. She's 80.

Biden said he wants 100 million doses in 100 days. Does that include pre-Jan-20 doses?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

If I were in the Trump administration, I'd make sure that counter gets bumped down to zero the morning of the 20th.

i wonder... does that administered doses total double in a week or two when the second dose is administered to those 556k? is that how this tracker works? i couldn't find an explanation at the link; i suppose time will tell.

We're running into a similar problem that we have with positivity rate. Do you use total tests administered as the denominator or total individuals tested?

I'd be more worried about the fact that Dominion is operating the counter. Or is it Crowdstrike? Or Barisma? And what's in the emails?!

i mean, i guess you have to go with total tests administered if the 2.8 million number is truly all doses distributed. otherwise the math doesn't work.

so right now, it's kinda wonky - no one is fully immunized. but once we're in stride, just divide the total tests administered by two to get an idea of how many individuals are/will soon be immunized.
