What a huge mess. A few weeks ago, I was hoping that the recent increase in cases would taper off. Nope. It’s gotten a lot worse than the initial case spike in April, in both case count and hospitalizations.


It’s pretty evident that there is a huge problem. I don’t know where this is coming from. Everyone I see are still wearing masks, but I really don’t go anywhere other than dialysis. Are people partying it up without worrying about the virus? I would like to see any additional data that provides more detail on where people are getting infected. Even with the vaccinations starting, I don’t know if we can get this under control for many more months.

I read this in the news today. Evidently, there were some communication issues between what was the expected production volume of vaccines, and the actual post-QA quantity. Again, it seems like we have amateurs running the show in Washington, DC. In any manufacturing process, there is always focus on the product yield. The actual manufacturing plant capacity doesn’t mean anything if none of your products passes QA. Do our government officials not know this? Is this another effect of Trump appointing friends and family to important agency posts instead of experts? I’m no Democrat, but I’m glad we’re rid of Trump the incompetent liar.
