To date, in the USA:
Cases: 16,690,058
Deaths: 306,057
Hope: yes
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has received clearance from the FDA, and the Moderna vaccine is right behind. Tomorrow, someone in the US, presumably a health care worker, will be inoculated against COVID-19, beginning the en masse delivery of the vaccine to US Citizens.
There's a lot that I could say regarding the vaccine, but, right now, there's no sense in doing that. The fact is that this will save lives and people will breathe for another day.
I could go on about our lame-duck pres' attempts to disenfranchise a large number of voters in the US, but, really, why? Why rant? The election of 2020 will be filed alongside the election of 1876, where political shenanigans abounded.
It's vaccine day.
