On A Day Like This, Time To Chill -- May 11, 2021

When Lana Del Rey is good, she is very, very good. Unfortunately her themes are very "adult" themes and not suitable for work. But, wow, on a day like today, I need Lana Del Ray. Her music. Not the singer.

I couldn't possibly be in a better mood, but wow, it's mentally exhausting to have a day like today. 

Re-posting:

US equities plunging.

Perfect storm. The trifecta timeline:

  • FAANG with record earnings; investors not rewarded; I'm personally most disappointed with AAPL/Apple, Inc.
  • jobs report blindsides everyone; now they're all worried about wage inflation;
  • Colonial Pipeline shutdown; symptomatic of the Biden administration;

*******************************************
Vaccine Hesitancy

CDC data here.

With a capacity to provide upwards of 4 million vaccinations per day, in the most recent 24-hour period, 1.5 million vaccinations were given. Going back ten weeks, this was the fewest number of vaccinations given one Monday-Tuesday 24-hour period except for last week, when it actually dropped below a million vaccinations given in one 24-hour period. 

On another note, assuming the US population is about 330 million, and 117 million folks considered fully vaccinated, the percentage of Americans fully vaccinated is about 35%. One site suggests there are 210 million "adults" (those greater than 18 years of age). Assuming 117 million folks were "all adults," the adult percentage fully vaccinated: 56%. 

The administration's goal is 70%. 

0.70 x 210 = 147 million.

Delta: 147 - 117 = 30 million. Getting to 70% adults fully vaccinated by July 4, 2021, should be a slam dunk. One million per 24-hour period and by mid-June 70% of all US adults will be fully vaccinated.
