As COVID-19 mutates, it's becoming more contagious than the virus that invaded the U.S. about a year ago. A trip to the grocery with a mask on, which used to be low risk, is becoming riskier.

 

As cases and deaths increase rapidly, people are scared and upset. They're spending hours on websites and hotlines struggling unsuccessfully to get vaccine appointments.

President-elect Joe Biden's vaccine distribution plan, which he announced Friday, doesn't offer them much hope. Biden said he'll open 100 federal vaccine sites in school gyms, community centers and stadiums the first month. That's for the entire nation.

We're in a war with a deadly disease. Biden's plan is like fighting back with a peashooter.

Almost as many Americans have died from COVID-19 in the last year as were killed in all the years of World War II. It's time to mount a D-Day scale response.

The U.S. needs to vaccinate 1.8 million people a day to achieve herd immunity by July. That's far more than Biden's goal of 1 million shots a day. Dodger Stadium can host 12,000 vaccinations a day. So 150 stadium-size sites are needed, vaccinating round the clock.

To accommodate the elderly, many venues should be first come, first served. Asking 70- and 80-year-olds to navigate complicated websites to make appointments is preposterously impractical.

To fight COVID-19, Biden also needs to defy the open borders flank of his party and make it clear that caravans of Central American migrants will not be allowed into the U.S. Last week, a Biden transition official said it, but Biden himself needs to say it forcefully enough to be heard below the Rio Grande. A caravan is pushing northward right now, posing a public health threat.

Air travelers to the U.S. have to show a negative COVID-19 test before boarding, quarantine on arrival and then get retested. Why should migrants be an exception?

Biden made fighting COVID-19 the centerpiece of his campaign, yet even as he takes office, he's short on details. The virus isn't waiting.

"Ominous" is how Dr. Anthony Fauci describes the emerging strains. A newly identified variant in Brazil can reinfect people who have already had COVID. The U.K. is so fearful that it blocked all flights from South America last week.

Meanwhile, a British strain that spreads fast because it causes more virus in the nose has invaded the U.S. Eighteen cases have been detected in New York. It's 50 to 70 percent more contagious than the original virus, and it will become the dominant strain by March, predicts the CDC. A highly infectious, homegrown U.S. strain is also causing cases to surge, reports Southern Illinois University researchers. The enemy is growing fiercer.

The good news is the U.S. has adequate vaccines in the pipeline. The federal government purchased 400 million doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, enough to vaccinate 200 million people. Both vaccines require two shots. Johnson & Johnson will seek FDA authorization for its vaccine by March. And a vaccine by AstraZeneca isn't far behind. Fauci has indicated there will be enough.

Your Darwin Award nomination has been accepted. 

I give him a 99.9% chance of not winning that award, but then it drops to 96% if he does contract the virus.  

If there are over 200,000 Wuhan deaths this year than Biden is a failure on fighting the virus.  I say half since we now have a vaccine available.  If we did not have a vaccine then I would say 300,000 deaths since we knew very little of this virus until June/July.  The way things are rolling out I don't think that the vaccine will be available and working for enough people in the next year.  He has stated that he plans to use all of the vaccines up which only gives a partial immunity to the virus since you need two shots of the Pfizer vaccine for it to be effective at 95%.  That is a dangerous policy.  That's like giving someone a shield to go into battle, but no sword or spear to fight with.  We may see more than 200,000 deaths, because many will feel "safe" with only one shot, and they will lower the way they conduct their lives outside of the home.  We already know that many people are tired of wearing the masks.  I continue to do so only around people, and I also practice other sanitary measures.  I can tell my body is craving fresh vegetables, but when I went to purchase some there was a guy picking up tomatoes and placing them back in the bin.  No thanks.   We're still three months away from planting season.

Nope, works for me. 

The QAnon 'Storm' Never Struck. Some Supporters Are Wavering, Others Steadfast

Former President Donald Trump did not declare martial law in his final minutes in office; nor did he reveal a secret plan to remain in power forever. President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi were not sent to Guantánamo Bay. The military did not rise up and arrest Democratic leaders en masse.

Instead, Biden took the oath of office and became the 46th U.S. president on Wednesday.

For some supporters of QAnon, this was an earth-shattering turn of events. Or rather, nonevents.

QAnon is less a baseless conspiracy theory than an umbrella of many baseless conspiracy theories, but it centers on a belief that there is a shadowy cabal of pedophilic, satanic world leaders. For years, a mysterious figure called Q has issued promises that this cabal is on the verge of being exposed and defeated by Trump in a cataclysmic event that QAnon calls "the Storm."

The baseless, often bizarre claims have gained a shocking amount of traction with the public. A recent NPR/Ipsos poll found that 17% of Americans believe that a group of Satan-worshipping, child-enslaving elites is trying to control the world, and another 37% aren't sure about the false allegation. And two women who have expressed some support for QAnon, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, are now sitting members of Congress.

Article continues after sponsor message
 

Now that Trump has left office, some QAnon supporters are baffled — or even giving up.

New York Times tech columnist Kevin Roose tweeted out screenshots from groups on Telegram — a popular messaging service for QAnon supporters — on Wednesday, after the transfer of power was officially complete. "Been played like fools," one wrote.

Roose noted that one particularly prominent QAnon figure publicly announced that supporters need to "go back to our lives as best we are able," rather than continue trying to overthrow Biden's presidency.

Will Sommer, who tracks conservative media and is working on a book about QAnon, wrote in the Daily Beast that even late on Wednesday morning, QAnon groups were still hopeful that the mass arrests would materialize. But after noon, "the mood changed quickly," Sommer wrote, with supporters saying they felt fooled by Trump and felt sick.

Feeling fooled may not lead to a return to normalcy. One researcher told NBC News that frustrated, disappointed Q followers could be prime targets for radicalization by other extremist groups, like neo-Nazis.

And, of course, not every Q follower is giving up the faith (an appropriate word — some argue that Q is best understood as a religious movement).

The Times' Roose noted Q fans arguing with each other, with some declaring the movement over while others insisting the Storm was still coming. NBC's Ben Collins and Brandy Zadrozny took a look at one of the largest QAnon Telegram groups, which briefly shut down on Wednesday and reopened with "a range of reactions: confusion and realization that QAnon was in fact a hoax, as well as renewed commitment to the conspiracy theory, despite its unreliability."

Researcher Travis View told The Washington Post that it was only a "minority ... facing reality," while others are simply shifting their expectations.

It's a process they're familiar with, after all: A multitude of Q predictions has failed to materialize, and that has never stopped the conspiracies from spreading.

Like apocalyptic cults that persist despite a noteworthy lack of apocalypse, QAnon may survive the failed prophecies around the inauguration just like it has survived other failed prophecies before.

Barry, what does this have to do with COVID vaccines? 

Just a quick question for everyone. 

The vaccine has been averaging 1 million doses per day throughout the country, under the last administration--and he is whining when people ask if that number is too small, and maybe we should shoot for higher.  Wouldn't you think that uncle joe would rather beat Trump's numbers instead of maintain them?

Yo Barry, have I waited long enough now to start throwing up the daily made up death count that you've used all year? 

75 trillion dead in the history of the world!!!! When will this president do something??? Bad Biden! Bad Biden! Do something already! Save these innocent people now! (But not the murder unborn, they can fend for themselves) 

C'mon man! Do something already! 

 

 

Now I'll wait for the " still Trump's fault rebuttle"

But, but, but CNN told us two weeks ago that Biden would be able to flip a switch, and everything would be in total control.  Biden was going to use science and all the money that Congress could give him to  speed things up where this would be over by June.  Anyone with half a brain should have saw that he couldn't do any more than Trump could do.  Now we're just throwing money away to the WHO for what our own CDC can do.  As I said in another thread, if we have more than 200,000 deaths this year with the vaccine roll out Biden is a failure with the Wuhan.  This virus isn't Trump's fault or Biden's fault, it is China's fault for developing this virus.  They created it without an antidote, as we've seen in many spy movies.  Now things are going to be back to normal with China under Biden, when they should be held by the world accountable for the loss of life across the globe.  Biden promised that a switch would be thrown to control the virus, and we'll see.  Trump had 400,000 deaths, so I'm only giving Biden half that amount for 200,000 in 2021.  If more occur, then I hope that those that voted for Biden realize they made a huge mistake in voting for him.

They never wanted Creepy Joe, Dave; They only wanted him because they Really wanted Harris, but she would never win as the Candidate, but I think Nancy’s Plan will take care of Joe before too long & Harris will be the First female POTUS...
