Corona 2020

Vaccine tracker link below for anyone interested in getting the link

From Johns Hopkins site which I also use for their covid data.

The Johns Hopkins is still working to get states to load data so it probably needs a couple more weeks for the data to get populated more smoothly.

It went that way in the early days of covid case reporting too.

China/Sinopharm continuing to release more data (not that anyone relies on Chinese data unless you are a democrat or work with the WHO ) and to seek regulatory approval.

This is always good, considering that they have already vaccinated over a million people around the world with it or one of the other Sinopharm vaccines that similarly have not been reviewed before being implemented.

Quite a an arrangement the Chinese have- they get rich by developing or releasing viruses to disable the rest of the world economy and then they get rich and become heroes in the third world for providing vaccines.

Don't expect that routine to end anytime soon.

China's Sinopharm says its coronavirus vaccine is 79% effective
https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/30/asia/china-sinopharm-vaccine-efficacy-intl-hnk/index.html
(CNN)China's state-owned pharmaceutical giant Sinopharm has announced its coronavirus vaccine is 79.34% effective.

Interim analysis of Phase 3 clinical trials show the vaccine is safe and people who received two doses produced high-level antibodies, according to a statement published Wednesday by Beijing Biological Products Institute Co., a Sinopharm subsidiary.
The company said it was seeking formal approval from China's regulators to distribute the vaccine to the public.
Coronavirus vaccines developed by Sinopharm have already been administered to hundreds of thousands of people under a controversial emergency use program approved by the Chinese government.
By November, nearly one million people had received a Sinopharm vaccine, according to the company's chairman, though he didn't specify which of the company's two vaccines they had received.
 
Not necessarily news here but it is somewhat satisfying to see their data hold up in a larger study and peer reviewed by the New England Journal of Medicine.

Some of the data and positive news for the vaccines seems to be holding up.

This has not been the same for the therapeutics over time: Hydroxy, remdesivir, dexamethasone/sp etc. You have good news, then the results gets squishy and dubious over time, although they may or may not be helpful. Not sure where we are with regeneron. I think it is still looking somewhat good. The problem with regeneron is that, while it seems to be highly beneficial, it is an an infusion therapy- rather than rejection- so it is not easily administered outside a clinical setting so tends to be used late in the game for people who have been hospitalized, although there is plenty available. Seems to be beneficial though. They are working on developing an injection version which would be for the good, bigtime.


Note too that none of the five per cent who did get covid after the vaccine got a severe case.


gotta split, the market is opening.

Multifamily investors are going to get destroyed in CA if the below passes.

https://commercialobserver.com/2020/12/california-eviction-moratorium-2021-2022-rent-covid/

A California lawmaker wants to extend the state’s existing restrictions on multifamily evictions until January 2022.

With state and federal protections for renters impacted by the pandemic set to expire in the coming months, legislators are facing another impending “eviction cliff.” Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco) said he introduced the proposed extension to help keep renters in their homes, as many Californians are still unemployed and struggling to pay rent.

To avoid eviction, renters who attest to hardship due to the pandemic would need to pay at least 25 percent of the rent owed between Sept. 1, 2020 and Dec. 31, 2021. Then, any remaining amounts owed to the landlord would be converted to civil debt and could not be used as the basis of an eviction. Landlords would be able to file a lawsuit in small claims court to recover rent owed from tenants starting Jan. 1, 2022.

If a tenant could not pay 25 percent of the rent owed by Dec. 31, 2021, they could face eviction starting Jan. 1, 2022.

This will eventually be extended to car payments, mortgages, every debt a person has, except for taxes of course, can't have that. Just make a "good faith" payment every month or so and they'll roll it out into perpetuity. Kinda like Lenny Dystra and every other losing strategy. Just roll it out, average down, martingale. Works till it don't.

One of the not so funny ironies is that Joe Biden fought tooth and nail to make Delaware the Cayman Islands of the U.S. and a safehaven and heaven for all the corrupt credit card companies. They flocked to Delaware, MBNA, all those crooked bastards. He licked their balls and gave them all the bankruptcy and regulatory protection they wanted.

It was one of the very few areas where Pocahontas and I were on the same side of the issue. The crooked companies were megablasting credit cards to people who could not even remotely pass a creditworthiness evaluation. Then Joe passed legislation to prevent people from being able to discharge those debts in bankruptcy. I was not necessarily in favor of all the regulations Pocahontas wanted but if the crooked companies wanted to push their shiite on people that is fine but they should not be protected from consequences of their actions. In normal banking, for example, the fear and consequences of not being paid back helps to curb the aggressive practices of lenders. Not so, for the credit companies. Joe fixed that.

Now, when it is to Joe's advantage, he is across-the-board in favor of forgiving all sorts of debt and making that law.

Many of the loser pundits in the media and loser binary thinkers here go on and on about how Joe is either a moderate old schooler or a progressive- the argument being that he can't be both. The same either/or bullshiite from the binary thinkers.

Let me tell ya. YES HE CAN BE BOTH. HE IS A FUCKING CHAMELEON. Don't tell me that a chameleon can only be blue or green so let's all try to figure out which one Joe is. That's bullshite. Joe has no brain and never has. He is just a political windsock that responds to whatever way the wind in the country is blowing. Comrade Bernie is what he is and has been and what he apparently was wired to be. You have to keep up with the news to know what Joe stands for.

Having said all that, it is even worse than I said. I used to think the Joe was just a hapless political beltway hack with at least enough scruples to stay out of the muck that lies below the basic political hackness. Not so though. He is corrupt as hell.

The above is arguably unrelated to corona, but arguably most definitely is given that the virus is being used as a vehicle for accomplishing all sorts of lefty goals.

Anyway, back to the virus.

Alaskans have decided to do something without kissing Emperor Fauci's ring first.

Bad Alaskans, bad dogs.


Alaska says 65+ Will Get Vaccine in Phase 1B
By NAT HERZ • 12 HOURS AGO

The state of Alaska is breaking from federal guidance by focusing its next round of COVID-19 vaccine on elders age 65 and over. And it's asking frontline essential workers, teachers, prisoners and others in high-risk settings to wait until those elderly Alaskans can be vaccinated first.

Amazing how problems can also exist in the zippy countries not controlled by Trump....surprise that. NOT.

And in addition to the EU, the news out of the UK and Japan is absolutely fugly.



INFECTIONS in Europe are continuing to surge as vaccine roll-outs stall.

The EU’s vaccination programme has faced criticism for falling behind the US and UK, after it took longer to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech jab.

Germany has inoculated 130,000 people but some of its vaccine centres have shut due to supply shortages.

Only 352 people were vaccinated in France by the weekend, while Italy has provided 8,300 jabs. But Spain’s authorities said 1.3million vaccines have been provided there so far.

There is definitely "more to come" in regard to some of how this vaccine resistance within the health health community is going to be dealt with.

I have read some articles about how in some places nurses- for example- have been fired for posting or taking anti-vax positions on social media sites. And I recall thinking "where is the line between being anti-vax and being anti-taking the covid vaccine this early? "You know what? I am still wondering that, and regardless of which side of the issue you are on, that issue is going to rise up pretty fiercely, if not already. The medical establishment and Emperor Fauci liked to portray everyone who is resistant as being a small-minded Luddite but that is not and will not be the case. So if you can fire people for being anti-vax can you can fire them for being anti-vax until they "see more"- if the hospital perceives this as undermining the perceived mission of the hospital, for example? And can you just get away with firing them if they are "lowly" nurses who should know better, or can you also fire resisters who are the most highly educated and trained in the hospital?

Don't know. Thus, "more to come."



Vaccine rollout hits snag as health workers balk at shots
The desperately awaited vaccination drive against the coronavirus in the U.S. is running into resistance from an unlikely quarter: Surprising numbers of health care workers who have seen firsthand the death and misery inflicted by COVID-19 are refusing shots.

It is happening in nursing homes and, to a lesser degree, in hospitals, with employees expressing what experts say are unfounded fears of side effects from vaccines that were developed at record speed. More than three weeks into the campaign, some places are seeing as much as 80% of the staff holding back.

“I don’t think anyone wants to be a guinea pig,” said Dr. Stephen Noble, a 42-year-old cardiothoracic surgeon in Portland, Oregon, who is postponing getting vaccinated. “At the end of the day, as a man of science, I just want to see what the data show. And give me the full data.”
