From record deaths to record vaccinations. Yet some people still can’t tell the difference between Trump and Biden.
Situation still bad in NL, though curve seems to go down a bit now 1/6th of the population is vaccinated. That’s only 2.7mil doses. We have almost a million more in stock... stupid, it’s mostly a reserve for the second shot. As if there won’t be any new vaccines delivered by the time people need that second shot. We’re also giving away nearly 200k doses ‘extra’ to some eastern europea countries cause they suck even more at handling covid. Out of “solidarity“. As if we’re not already paying for the vaccines and stimulus measures in the EU. I’m all for helping other countries but to me it’s like oxygen masks in a crashing airplane, always put on your own first. Still in dutch variant of lockdown (not sure they understand the meaning of the word....), still evening curfew (starts at 22:00 so meh). NL was one of the first to make deals with vaccine developers, handed over the contract to EU so they could divide it per country based on population, and now we’re giving away vaccines on top of that.
Hey but if you’re ship gets stuck who you’re gonna call 
EU was supposed to be merely a monetary and economic union but well, can’t blame the UK for leaving.

So the this rumor looks true.

Some Covid-19 long haulers say vaccines may be relieving their symptoms. Researchers are looking into it | CNN
Doctors have struggled to find answers to treat Covid long haulers, some sick more than a year. Now a portion of them report they're finding relief for debilitating fatigue and brain fog after getting vaccinated.
Never could figure out the swiss cheese position of Reps. Pro life (some even against abortion for rape pregnancies) but talk about baby machines,welfare,etc so let me conclude your against abortion and against virtually any assistance for struggling families w/children or single mothersw/multiple children. Isn't that a sado-masochist position that basically says your poor and pregnant and can't afford more children but you have to have the child and struggle evenmore cause life is precious but not so precious to be given more help, so have the child so we can mock and stereotype you even more for our amusement, is this it or is it me?ccguns
And don't forget those tulips we all need at EASTER time, probably should just jab more unvaccinated Dutch w/Pfizer as stats have now shown 1st shot at least 80% protection after 2-3 wks.ccgunsFrom record deaths to record vaccinations.

Global tally of COVID cases edges closer to 130 million, as Fauci says U.S. may not need AstraZeneca vaccine - MarketWatch
Global tally of COVID cases edges closer to 130 million, as Fauci says U.S. may not need AstraZeneca vaccine
FDA says Moderna will add new doses to each vial, bolstering vaccine drive
The global tally of confirmed cases of the coronavirus-borne illness COVID-19 edged closer to 130 million on Friday, with the U.S. accounting for about a quarter of that total, with 30.5 million, as positive vaccine news weighed against a continued rise in case numbers.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser, said AstraZeneca PLC’s COVID-19 vaccine, which has been plagued by problems during its rollout, may not even be needed in the U.S.
In an interview with Reuters, Fauci said that even if AstraZeneca’s AZN AZN vaccine wins U.S. regulatory authorization, the country may have enough vaccine doses already secured to take care of the entire U.S. population, including possible boosters.
The U.S. has already granted emergency-use authorization to three vaccines: one developed by Pfizer Inc. PFE and German partner BioNTech SE BNTX 22UA , one developed by Moderna Inc. MRNA , and one from Johnson & Johnson JNJ . It has secured contracts for hundreds of millions of doses. Novavax NVAX , which last year signed a $1.6 billion contract with the U.S. government as part of Operation Warp Speed, is hoping to get emergency-use authorization for its vaccine from the Food and Drug Administration by May.
“If you look at the numbers [of doses] that we’re going to be getting, the amount that you can get from J&J, from Novavax, from Moderna if we contract for more, it is likely that we can handle any boost that we need, but I can’t say definitely for sure,” Fauci said.
Separately, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it has authorized two changes to Moderna’s vaccine that will produce more doses from each vial, the Associated Press reported, further bolstering the U.S. vaccine drive.
The agency OK’d new vials that can contain up to 15 doses each, compared with the original Moderna vials designed to hold 10 doses. Additionally, regulators said providers can safely extract up to 11 doses from the original 10-dose vials. Those changes will be added to instructions for healthcare workers.
The FDA has also authorized the Moderna vaccine to be kept at room-temperature conditions for 24 hours after being removed from refrigeration, up from a previous 12 hours. A punctured vial can be used for up to 12 hours, an increase from the previous 6 hours. The new guidelines have been updated in the company’s emergency-use authorization, and Moderna plans to start shipping the new 15-dose vials in the coming weeks.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine tracker is showing that as of 6 a.m. on Thursday, 200.5 million doses had been delivered to states; 153.6 million doses had been administered; and 99.6 million people had received at least one dose, equal to 30% of the population.
A full 56 million people are fully vaccinated, equal to 16.9% of the population. In the 65 years–and–older group, 28.5 million people are fully vaccinated, equal to 52% of that population.

We gotta double down on masks and distancing until vaccinated, here in Canada that's a long time coming so far. We will soon see how the vaccines do against the Brazil variant. It looks like ya can't buy yer way to a vaccine, cause they would have got one. I figure many wealthy and connected as well as the sleazoids have jumped the line in the states though.
This fucking thing is coming down to a race between the new variants and the vaccines. Thank Jesus ya got Joe, if Trump was still running the show the country would have come apart at the seams and the vaccine rollout would be a disaster.
citizens are dropping the mask and our state is back to 50%- but wearing a mask? a weird reversal of citizen peer pressure.
this Genie's not going back in the back in the bottle and we have one person to thank for American participation.
if they're in cellular form is a business still a person?
unlike flu, this is circulatory and since it's found in the brain it crosses blood brain barrier- bad. in the beginning he said it was like a slightly worse flu while lying the whole time. if the stupid bitches out there don't want to wear a mask or get vaccinated? when do we get to bring suit against Trump? US Capitol Police just did for putting them in danger above and beyond. that's exactly what this fucker did. he put us in danger above and beyond. Biden's going to be paying us for a while.
Long Covid should qualify for free medical..this was Tuskeegee en masse.

It seems simple enough. You will get universal income soon. It won't be enough though. Frankly, it would never be enough.

Another good reason to keep on going and ramping up vaccine production, a lot of people from Mexico enter the US one way or another, even if the border is closed.

A Mexican tragedy: country's crippling Covid crisis comes into sharp focus
"Mexico’s Covid crisis has made fewer international headlines than the catastrophes in the US and Brazil, where almost 900,000 people have died, accounting for about a third of the global total, and the reckless responses of rightwing populists Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro have been condemned. Bolsonaro’s anti-scientific handling of a disease he calls a “bit of a cold” and the spread of a more infectious variant linked to the Amazon has earned his nation particular infamy on the world stage.
But the revelation this week that Mexico’s death toll was far higher than previously reported suggests a calamity of similar proportions has played out under its leader, the populist Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Last weekend Mexican officials discreetly acknowledged more than 294,000 Covid deaths – just shy of Brazil’s official death toll which was then 310,000. Brazil has a much larger population, with 212 million inhabitants compared with Mexico’s 126 million".
