Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
The schools in my area which opened at the normal start of the school year (5 months ago), have seen ZERO cases of in-school transmission.
There were a few cases with some of the teachers and a couple of students, but those were attributed to events outside of school.
We've known since last fall that kids are the least likely to catch or spread the virus, and make up the smallest amount of cases. The scientific evidence and health data have shown that there is no reason why kids shouldn't be in school.
So why are there still schools around the nation that haven't returned to normal in-person learning?? It boggles the mind! They preached about listening to the science, but now they completely ignore it! Makes no Sense!OmertÃComment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
President Biden announces purchase of 200M vaccine doses
President Joe Biden announced a series of measures on Tuesday aimed at ramping up coronavirus vaccine allocation and distribution, including the purchase of 200 million more vaccine doses and increased distribution to states by millions of doses next week.
With those additional doses, Biden said there would be enough to fully vaccinate 300 million Americans -- nearly the entire US population -- by the end of summer or early fall.
He described efforts to combat Covid-19 as a "wartime undertaking."
"We now have a national strategy to beat Covid-19. It's comprehensive. It's based on science, not politics. It's based on truth, not denial, and it is detailed," he said.
The President also took action on Tuesday to increase the weekly vaccine supply to states, tribes and territories -- upping the current 8.6 million doses to a minimum of 10 million doses weekly. Additionally, the White House will be providing three week vaccine supply look-ahead reports to states as opposed to one week look-aheads.
Biden's Covid coordinator, Jeff Zients, informed governors on a call Tuesday afternoon that Covid vaccine allocations for states would increase by around 16% starting next week.
The Biden administration believes it did not inherit a working federal coronavirus vaccine distribution plan from the Trump administration.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
but the problem is ( if not politically motivated ) is the states don't seem to be able to keep up with requests for the shot(s).. in fact it has been proving some people in several states, have ON THEIR OWN.. bypassed the List of people to receive the doses and they call their family/friends ( under age for the distribution lists) ... doses have been destroyed because people didn't handle the doses properly. Thousands and Thousands of doses have gone ' bad ' under state controlled administration of said doses. ( all have been in Dimwit controlled states )
promise doses they Never Had and shorting States doses promised.
Now we have a real plan using the entire resources of the Federal Government.Comment

.. much of the early failures in vaccine distribution was because the Trump administration had no organized plan to deliver the vaccine to the states.
... I am sure with millions of vaccine doses being distributed via a complex deep cold distribution chain, a few 1,000 vaccines will expire.
... President Biden's mantra is "data first, facts first"
... being a hyper critical nit-picker about the rollout of vaccines in the first six days of Biden's presidency is a clear sign that you are not interested in hearing the truth about what is really happening.
President Joe Biden's Chief of Staff Ron Klain said there was no plan in the federal government for the distribution of vaccines across the US.
President Biden signed a raft of new measures last week, including boosting vaccinations and testing. He has implored Americans to wear masks and warned that the death toll could get much worse.
"Let me be clear - things will continue to get worse before they get better", he said.
Dr Anthony Fauci, the top US infectious disease expert, said on Thursday that rolling average data appeared to show infections levelling off.
Although the national picture has stabilised slightly, he warned the country remained in a "very serious situation".
The CDC is particularly concerned that new variants could accelerate the virus spread. It issued a warning that the new more transmissible strain first detected in the UK could become the dominant strain across the US by March.
The strain has been detected in 20 states, Dr Fauci said Thursday, but warned the country had "limited ability" to track its spread through the population.

SOME OF THE LOSSES were due to INTENTIONAL actions.. one report (haven't found an update) it was an employee that was a staunch Trump hater ( like some here ) that employee left out over night 750 doses of the vax.
others have left out 300-659 doses FOR THE SAME REASON! These type actions put in risk American Citizens and there are a few that are under investigation for said actions.
others just didn't follow SOP on the handling of the product.
BTW love your selective paste and copy...Comment

By the measure that Trump was responsible for vaccinating 3x the percentage of the population as Trudeau. Why not swallow your pride and admit that is was Trudeau that failed. Not Trump.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment
