Cases and New Hospitalizations downward. Cases yesterday (24K) were the lowest daily report since June of last year - fat lady warming up to sing...
280 New Deaths reported (downward). Lowest daily Death report since March of last year!
The rest is just mopping up.
These numbers do not make sense. I read elsewhere that as many as half of some work groups, medical professionals, law enforcement, etc., have not gotten the experimental vaccine, plus some states have low one-third participation, yet this says over half of population has gotten the experimental vaccine. I wonder what the real numbers are. And how about comparable updates on people—Sick without experimental vaccine, sick with it, dead, etc. Too bad CDC has politicized all of this and cannot keep up with or report the real numbers. At least I suspect we are only seeing a small part of the picture and like H1N1, it’ll be years until the truth comes out. So now, it is mostly propaganda supporting the government line to get the experimental vaccine.
It’s beginning to appear much more likely that Dr. Makary was spot on with his assertions in mid February.
This thing will be essentially all over but the crying by Memorial Day.
Minor correction....
It’s not a “President Trump’s OWS update”.....it’s a White House COVID-19 Response Team update.
Operation Warp Speed ended February, 2021.
Operation Warp Speed (OWS) was a public–private partnership initiated by the United States government to facilitate and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics.[1][2] The first news report of Operation Warp Speed was on April 29, 2020,[3][4][5] and the program was officially announced on May 15, 2020.[1] It was headed by Moncef Slaoui from May 2020 to January 2021 and by David A. Kessler from January to February 2021.[6] At the end of February 2021, Operation Warp Speed was transferred into the responsibilities of the White House COVID-19 Response Team.[7]

My entire family, including my Army Son will never get the vaccine poison pumped into our bodies.
Non-GMO checking in!
Moving along about as expected Those who want it can take it and those that don’t will not.
Not sure if you saw this, but it’s a very detailed breakdown by the Kaiser Family Foundation about who is eager/hesitant to get vaccinated and why: https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/poll-finding/kff-covid-19-vaccine-monitor-april-2021/
Thank you for tracking and posting this information!
Fascinating study!

“We analyzed data from saliva-based COVID-19 screening deployed on the University of Colorado Boulder campus. Our dataset is unique in that all SARS-CoV-2−positive individuals reported no symptoms at the time of saliva collection, and therefore were infected but asymptomatic or presymptomatic. We found that 1) the distribution of viral loads observed in our asymptomatic college population was indistinguishable from what has been reported in hospitalized populations; 2) regardless of symptomatic status, approximately 50% of individuals who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 seem to be in noninfectious phases of the infection; and 3) just 2% of infected individuals carry 90% of the virions circulating within communities, serving as viral “supercarriers” and likely also superspreaders...”
A small number of asymptomatic people have a very high viral load- without realizing it.
Easy to understand study. The “discussion” section at the end is very helpful.

Looking good, improving all the time.
The Walmart in the nearest town has been taking walk-ins for vaccinations and announcing it in the store for a few days.
