Doses Delivered: 4.3 Million (OK) (22,000 J&J - almost nothing yet)
Total Administered: 2.2 million (Awful slow - there is some problem) (26,000 J&J)
New People Receiving 1st Dose: 941,000 (Very Very Weak)
People Fully Vaccinated: 1.3 million (Weak)
Strong inventories on hand (68 million).
% Total Population with at least a First Shot: 43% (up 0.3)
Those ≥ 18 Years of Age (Adults): 54.5% (up 0.3)
Those ≥ 65 Years of Age: 82% (up 0.2) (68.3% - up 0.4)
Cases substantially downward.
New Hospitalizations down even more sharply on this report. They now seem to have clearly inflected downward, and are dropping faster.
556 New Deaths reported (trending down).
First shots have slowed significantly.
No sign of life yet from J&J.
Good news on all fronts!
Second day after my second Pfizer shot.
No negative side effects.
I seem to have dropped some ugly belly fat, without dieting or exercise. Chicks seem to dig me more.
Is there an expiration date on the inventory?
good news to everyone who got a mrna experimental treatment
SCOTUS just ruled moderna and pfizer may now own your dna
so there’s that...
So many sheep. It’s shocking
Not to beat this to death, but I think it’s important we all have an understanding of what’s happening concerning what people are thinking about getting vaccinated.
Those who have been following this thread know I have been sensing that we are approaching a point where the number of people intent on getting their initial Covid 19 vaccine is shrinking.....substantially in the last 10 days or so.
I have been watching it happen in my own rural S Illinois county and it’s happening all over the state leading me to believe it’s likely happening all over the country.
Here’s an article I ran across this morning pertaining to another rural Illinois county...

And it will stay that way.
I think we will find out if they work in the fall. By the time enough people had been vaccinated to make a difference, cases were already dropping. The cases did not drop more dramatically in March but at the same rate and have leveled off. Let’s hope this garbage goes away.
I will not be one of them.
It’s not a vaccine and those who think it is are idiots.
What the hell will it take to understand this? Posting this crap is the same as Kozak’s shxt post.
How much of that is from reducing the cycle count of the PCR covid tests after inauguration day?
My wife just told me an almost unbelievable story but she knows it to be true so....
She’s a school librarian and the parents of a young women she works with were both vaccinated at the same time and BOTH came down with the Covid 19 infection simultaneously. Their symptoms were exceptionally bad and were both admitted to the hospital last week.
Well, they both ended up on respirators and earlier today they simultaneously pulled the plug on both and neither will likely make it through the night. These people were both in their 50’s!
Now my question is, WHAT ARE THE FREAKIN ODDS???
Any guesses at where we will top off? It looks likely we will get to about 60%.
With 10% of the population having had Covid itself that should get us close to the 70% number for herd immunity.
Looks familiar...

“The manufacturer of the Sputnik V vaccine is tweeting absolutely nonsense statistics in an effort to question the safety record of its competitors...”
Maybe when JnJ is more readily available again numbers will tick up. I always figured that a one-and-done vaccine would win out but it ran into a number of problems as you know. Also figured, for the right or wrong reasons, perception of the JnJ is it different from the mRNA vaccines.
But I did suspect that we may run into a demand wall at some point. A little earlier than expected. Perhaps due to cases and deaths declining. Perhaps due to wider apprehension due to the “pause” of JnJ causing wider fear about vaccination in general... or who knows what other reasons we can read about them here every day ;-)
Maybe some people just have no faith left in what public officials say so they suffer from paralysis in making a decision. I consider myself at least partially in that boat. I have no strong feelings either way about the vaccines. I have strong feeling about people who lie, cheat, spin and flip-flop constantly. My personal opinion is, I can wait a bit. I don’t go anywhere or see anyone. Work home work home 6 mile drive. Cook at home. Most people at work are vaccinated. In any case we still maintain great social distances. My biggest risk is the wife who does the shopping, she may bring the virus home but where we live, cases are and have been extremely low both in raw numbers and as a % of the area population.
They’re gonna have to do better than a free uber ride, a year’s worth of donuts, a free cocktail and $25 in free slot play to bribe more people into getting vaccinated.
Sorting out the COVID-19 fatalities numbers is “freaky”. Worldometers is showing, for April 28, on the US page table, 954 fatalities. (That table does not go back an additional day.) On the US page graph, they show for April 28, again, 954 fatalities, then for April 27, 884 fatalities, and on April 26, 472 fatalities. But, on the Countries page (table), they show for the US for April 28, 876 fatalities, and on April 27, 883 fatalities.
CDC’s graph at the moment, 1:23 a.m., EST, is showing 556 fatalities on April 27, and 438 fatalities on April 26. The CDC data for April 28 is not posted yet.
The smaller variations are explainable, but, the disparity in fatalities between Worldometers and CDC for April 27 I can’t figure out. I guess I should go back in a couple days and see how those numbers change...
WorldoMeters is also a bit whacky with some other country numbers, with fatalities reported on the “Countries” table not always matching the graphs.
That said, if I go by the graphs’ daily numbers and allow for data jogs (or just use the 7 day average if a day misses the overall trend), several countries look pretty bad.
WOM reports (graphs) 3,647 fatalities in India on April 28, and that number does not look out of line with the trend for mid-week reports. There is little hint of slowing of the rise in this curve. :-( It also seems the lag between cases and fatalities is only a week or so in India: I’m guessing advanced treatments to help one hang on and maybe beat the thing are not available to most Indian people. The shape of the curves is gruesome.
Brazil’s numbers are still high, but at least showing some improvement. A number of other South American countries, like Colombia and Peru, are having a bad time of it. Peru’s case fatality rate has jumped — possibly they’ve crossed the threshold of available care?
Iran has had 4 waves of COVID-19. This last one looks like it has likely peaked, but another week of high fatalities would not surprise me.
For a country almost unaffected until late fall of 2020, Poland has been hit pretty hard. I would not be surprised to see them and several other countries exceed the US fatalities per million, in coming months. (Poland has been a good ally and should be high on our list to ship any excess vaccines to, but, will we?)
Italy has had a hard time of it too, and is doing somewhat better, but they just can’t seem to shake the bug...
France is also having a very hard time getting deaths down - they’ve been flatlined at around 300 fatalities a day for s few weeks. They were flatlined just above that for several weeks prior.
I suspect that if one were to look at the global numbers less the countries doing well with getting vaccinated (US, UK, Israel) and less China (who besides intelligence agencies knows what the hell is really going on, there?), the global numbers would look quite discouraging. :-(
