——————————————————————————————Here in Washington state we are flattening out. Last week 100 out of 1000 tested were positive. Yesterday 100 out of 2500 per positive. The University of Washington has tested over 10,000 and now has drive-through testing set up.
Kaiser Permanente here in Washington begins testing the rendesivir vaccine under a grant from NIH. We are apparently the 5th city to do this vaccine testing. The first began a week or so at the University of Nebraska in Omaha. Yaknow, there in so-called deplorable heartlands.
