Chinese Flu Watch -- February 2, 2021

From social media about 30 minutes ago, 6:00 p.m. CT, February 2, 2021. If this holds true, the "stampede" for the vaccine will be overwhelming.....regardless of what Front Line Doctors or other naysayers have to say.

The neurologic sequalae of naturally-occurring Covid-19 should scare anyone that's paying attention.

Before we get to the US vaccine rollout, Russian Covid-19 vaccine was reportedly highly effective in trial, boosting Moscow's rollout ambitions -- study reported in Lancet (well known for "issues" with vaccine studies and reporting); story reported in WSJ. 

Now, the US vaccine rollout. 

As mentioned earlier, the best days to track the vaccination rollout, all things being equal, are Tuesday and Friday. 

And today it's Tuesday.

The following numbers are taken directly from the CDC.

Observations:

• goal: at least one million doses administered daily; that's the low bar; high bar: three million doses per day;
• note: 558,458 doses given in most recent 24-hour time period reported; well short of one million;
• other number to watch: number of doses delivered

Percent of doses used:

• North Dakota, #1: 82%
• West Virginia, #2: 81%
• New York State (Governor Cuomo says his state is doing great: 66%
• California: 63%
• Texas: 61%
• Florida: 56%

Meanwhile, the number of new cases is plummeting across the US now that the post-Christmas surge has passed.
