Yesterday I caught some of Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s Covid briefing and news conference. He reviewed progress on vaccination, emphasizing that we are at a critical phase in combatting the disease and that it was no time to let our guard down. Northam also pointed out that 500,000 Virginians have been diagnosed with Covid-19 (he is one of them), and an estimated 500,000 have had the disease and did not know it. This is out of a population of about 8.5 million. On the relative merits of different vaccines, Northam said “the best vaccine is the one you get.” I’ve noticed that mas...

@lurker: I think if Obama had nominated a Scalia clone – a demonstrable, rock-solid, 40-year-old crazy ass conservative Scalia clone – they would have pocketed the win and moved on.  “Thanks, Barack!”  Never would have happened but still, sure they would have taken that.  Why not?

Logistics are all messed up in this country, and were before bad weather. IL to MN via TX and Memphis is because the freight carriers send shipments from one consolidation point to another, even if it adds hundreds of miles and several days to the trip.

I’m sure it was supposed to save pennies on each delivery, and I would bet it really costs much more.

Numbers going down in the OC almost faster than they went up. Only 369 new cases yesterday and positivity rate dropped from 9.7% to 7.8%. Hospitalizations down to below the top of the original y axis that was increased over and over. ICU beds available 15.3%. Very happy it looks like not many Super Bowl spreader events happened. As usual where there are old people, there are grifters: BE AWARE: The OC Health Care Agency, County of Orange has partnered with Composite Apps, developer of the Othena application, for the sole purpose of facilitating safe and timely distribution of COVID-19 vaccine...
