Official live update of spread of COVID19

[Rev. Rye]

A Biden transition official confirmed the former vice president's potential timeline for the vaccine. CNN reported Biden is likely to be vaccinated early next week.

Their plans come after health care workers across the U.S. were the first to receive a shot of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on Monday as COVID-19 cases are on the rise nationwide. More than 300,000 Americans have died from the virus.

President Donald Trump has not announced plans to take the vaccine, which the federal government intends to help distribute through Operation Warp Speed, the $10 billion effort to accelerate the production and distribution of a coronavirus vaccine.

Surprise, surprise.

Given that he had the full-on disease two months ago, this decision does actually make sense.

I was going to post about how, back when we weren't sure about masks, Dad posted some pictures of plague doctors, and even linked to the Down the Rabbit Hole episode on plague doctors, but now I can't help but notice that that bag lady isn't wearing a mask.
