      Should the Great Poster add in positivity charts again even if the data is squirrelly? I mean specifically for countries with high rates of vaccination in order to gauge effectiveness, possibly even as early warning. We are entering a transition period - some vaccination, return to near normal daily life, and yet the pandemic rages elsewhere.

      The decision to wait 12 weeks between shots is coming back to bit them too.

      AstraZeneca was always worse than the mRNAs and Pfizer's has quite low effectiveness (30% IIRC?) until the second dose. Moderna's conveys much more effectiveness after 1 dose (think it's 70%?). Pfizer and AZ are the main UK doses.

      Though of course Modi is scum and I've been saying so since he got into power. Irony is high that Biden is including him in a democracy defense against China, though obviously even now politically India is more free.

      There was talk of states opening up now on the Talking Head shows. An ex-Trump advisor was gobsmacked that people were going around indoors without masks when not even 50% of the people were vaccinated...

      I was trying to find the clip and ID the person--but alas, no luck. Maybe a fevered dream (without a fever?)

        Advisor: Tom Bossert. "This Week" covid discussion around 32 min mark.
        Former Homeland Security Advisor and now ABC news analyst.
        He also predicted outbreaks in areas where vaccination levels are low.

    WY and CO still about 10 new cases/day/100K.
    WY bouncing around 12
    CO bumped up a while ago, and is slowly dropping.

    Over at CovidActNow, AR is also considered high risk now. Not that cases are back above 10 yet, but because cases are creeping up. Some of that is due to Memorial Day holiday, but after that dip/bump, numbers haven't settled down to pre-Memorial Day levels...and vaccinations: 40.6% (first dose, total population)

    Hot spots--not seeing one in the top 10 from AR.
    top 3:
    Grand Junction, CO
    Cheyenne, WY
    Springfield, MO
