Yes. I also saw the source is JHU, figured if I was gonna get shot with friendly fire (expected), they could go down with me. :D

:) Germany has 1/3 the deaths per million pop so far as the USA.

However, it indeed has a steep slope as do we in the current surge. But they have a long, long way to go to catch up to us in deaths per million pop.

Yes, we'd rather have had Germany's experience.

I want everything back to normal, but with so many unknown unknowns, I'd be very hesitant putting my kids out there if I were a college coach or assistant.

The above are both very important in the context of this article, this HAPPENS with MANY viral infections of which CV-19 falls into the family of. It could have happened any year to any player and it has happened in the past when CV-19 did NOT EXIST. I cannot say that enough, CV-19 is not the first or the last viral infection that in rare cases can cause Myocarditis, which usually heals on its own with rest and recovery. I would be shocked if Keyontae is not back playing for UF next season just as Al Blades Jr will be playing CB for the CANES and it is already confirmed that Eduardo Rodriguez is pitching for Boston. Red Sox would not have paid $8 million for pitcher who is NOT HEALED from this condition.

Well, Joe, you're indeed reliable with your opinion. And let's hope you're correct that there won't be significant long term damage effects from Covid exposure for the players, any greater incidence of such from the decision to have these sports go forward. But, at least IMO, it's far from a certainty either way.

so looks like we landed the 2nd 100 million from pfizer, getting a timeline from them on delivery this time, with 70 million to come in q2. the other 30 million "potentially" coming somewhat or wholly in q2 if the defense production act can help them scoot it along. given news to date (scarcity materials, production time cuts, difficulty of distribution) i am dubious on any bump from dpa and expect potential challenges to the timelines have greater probabilities.

anyway, good news. maybe a dpa with moderna is in our future also and one works out to expedite.

so here is where we are:
100 mill doses/50 mill people for both moderna and pfizer by q1, or 100 mill people total.

a similar run in q2, though pfizer maybe 30 mill doses lighter. so another 85 million people.

jnj - if successful (still a big if), possible interim readout in late jan. earliest execution of eua maybe late feb/early march. 100 mill all in one shot. no idea on rollout, but jnj i expect would be ready and it wouldn't be 20 mill per month, it would be multiples of that unless they run into problems.

azn - again if successful, the timeline is really difficult to gauge. they've halted trials, restart already puts them back. we could've had over 100+ mill doses in our hands by end of year had that not happened. but, their early results probably needed to be better anyway. now, they're going to need to get better results with larger numbers to sell to the public. too much scrutiny right now. so best case, better results and lagging jnj by weeks. they'll be production ready, so they'd easily be able to cover the rest of our pop in q2 if jnj is a go, and a lot of it if jnj isn't.

novavax is rarely talked about, i suppose you'll hear a lot more about them in jan/feb, possible eua in april if successful. 100mill shots/50 mill people.

2 large questions about timing are of course the above 3 and the unknown on our campaign to get the distrustful on board. a lot of money and effort will be spent. vaxxing people with empty needle photo ops and folks fainting probably isn't helping that initiative, but we've got miles to go before we sleep on that.

Happy Holidays to you as well, Joe.

I think the decision could be made either direction, based on the evidence to date, with the decision to reduce risk, for now, being a course preferred by some.

I think the point above is that the decision to push forward in the money sports may be more due to financial reasons than for the good of the kids, and, thus, there may well be financial repercussions (litigation) if there are instances of serious damage that were due to Covid.

Myocarditis does indeed have a number of causes, including COVID, and people got it before COVID. Luckily most people are just fine after 6 months too. Unfortunately athletes do die from it.

We're seeing plenty of cardiac abnormalities after a COVID infection. As I said, I'd be hesitant to put my players out there after a positive COVID experience without substantial evidence that they are healthy.



In other news, here's a new study of mask and social distance effectiveness, testing five masks: a regular cloth mask, a two-layer cloth mask, a wet two-layer cloth mask, a surgical mask, and a medical-grade N-95 mask. Looks like a good mask and 6' of distancing is indeed a great way to severely limit exposure. https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0035072

Thanks for the summary. Though my wife and I, much less son, won't be in that first 100 million, I'll breathe a little easier with my mom done and a big chunk of the population done...gotta hope that the combination of that plus Biden's push of masking for 100 days will reduce incidence a lot...

Here's a question...my son is likely to be going back to Shanghai ballpark March, I wonder whether they will demand that he be vaccinated before coming, make him be vaccinated with the Chinese one? Up until now they've been doing a tough, government supervised quarantine and testing, but I wonder whether they add vaccination...virtually no cases in China and if anything pops up they're slamming hard down on it...

I think that scale may be per million...the US is over 600 daily new cases per million population. We're running close to 200,000 new cases a day on 338 million pop.

We're running above 2,600 deaths per day, 7.88 per million. Germany is currently running right behind us on a per million basis.

Correction, we're currently at 2,781 per day trailing 7 days avg deaths.

It IS called being educated.....where every word matters. If notice what I bolded, I am aware of the "per million"

Now what?

When did I ever use the word "lying" ??????? If not to just scare folks, why not explain what the graph means......please do it. Explain it.

Was the math wrong, on my part? I multiplied 8 (the avg. daily rolling deaths) by 32 (which represents 320 million US residents, so if the graph IS representing 8 deaths, per MILLION, I am correct in multiplying 8 X 32, which gives the US an average daily death count of roughly 250, PER DAY.

Is this math wrong? Should we multiply 8 times three hundred and twenty ? (320-represents US residents ) That will give us almost 3/4 of a million DEAD from covid.

It is strange to defend serious questions regarding numbers? It IS against the law to lie about numbers, or even to mislead, in the financial world, IS it not?

numbers matter......until they don't. got it.

Or, you could help describe , in further detail, what this graph is representing.

Not in your DNA to help....understood. .... .why you never had double digits in hoops assists ;)
