Perdue relies on Republican loyalty after coronavirus scare derails Senate campaign Naomi Lim
CUMMING, Georgia Georgia Republican Sen. David Perdue s brush with the coronavirus couldn t have come at a more inconvenient time.
Perdue, 71, has been quarantining with his wife Bonnie since Thursday after a member of his team tested positive for COVID-19. The move has taken him off the campaign trail less than a week before his Tuesday runoff against Democratic filmmaker Jon Ossoff. And it s one of two Georgia races to be decided on Jan. 5 that will determine the Senate s balance of power during the next Congress.
Perdue s absence is conspicuous as prominent Republicans fan out across the state to stump for him and appointed GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler ahead of her contest against Democratic Rev. Raphael Warnock, including President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence on Monday.

Vaccines take time
Re: “Vaccine research gamble pays off Technology once seen as too risky now called ‘spectacular success,’” Monday news story.
Thank you for publishing this excellent article! I found it easy to understand and very informative. It outlines the fact that recent vaccines are not overnight sensations, but the result of years of work and research. I personally plan on getting a vaccine for COVID-19 as soon as possible. Hopefully, people who are unsure may read the article and gain some reassurance.
