At reader request, I’ve added this daily chart from 91-DIVOC. The data is the Johns Hopkins CSSE data. Here is the site.
Nate SIlver makes the same call [lambert preens]:
Interesting chart: We re now vaccinating more people (1st doses) than there are new infections. However, caseloads are still VERY high (higher than at any point pre-November).https://t.co/Qxu8rSPoV1pic.twitter.com/UU3F0B5Szq
But see caveats below!
Lambert here: Well, I said “If these declines continue through the end of the week, I’m gonna have to conclude we’re looking at a genuine fall in the numbers not the current narrative, I might add and that we are not looking at a reporting effect from the long weekend.” So I have to conclude we’re looking at a genuine fall in the numbers.

Illegal mobile phones to be blocked automatically from July 1: BTRC
Sun Online Desk 8th January, 2021 09:51:43
All the illegal, clone, and fake mobile phone handsets will be automatically blocked from networks starting from July 1.
Shyam Sunder Sikder, chairman of Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC), said this on Thursday during a press conference in the capital.
“The illegal handsets will be blocked from July 1, but we will not disconnect the ones which are in use now,” he said.
“However, all the new mobile phones will have to be registered before reaching the market.”
“BTRC plans to launch National Equipment Identification Registrar (NEIR) on July 1 this year. No illegal handsets will be allowed to be used in the country’s telecom network after that,” the BTRC chairman said.

IBM Trusteer reports that a hacking group is using mobile emulators to spoof banking customers mobile devices and steal millions of dollars from banks in the U.S. and Europe.
Although the first wave of attacks using these mobile emulators has been stopped and the banks affected by the hacking have been notified, a second wave of attempts is likely already underway, says Limor Kessem, executive security adviser with IBM Security.
Mobile emulators, which can mimic the activities of mobile devices, typically are used by developers to test applications and features on a wide array of device types.
