Normal, as in how it was before the pandemic, in the long, long ago? Assuming that "normal" in 2019 was so great anyway, sure, we're looking at at least another year, but that doesn't mean we can start getting back to some semblance of normality over the course of this year. It's a slow, gradual process that will not be without some bumps along the way.

Yeah, I'm already back to normal myself, for the most part. I mean, besides working from home and wearing masks in stores, I'm no longer limiting recreational activities or using the pandemic as an excuse not to do things. Actually just finished a 10 game season in a poker league I'm in. 27 people at three tables packed into various garages with 0 social distancing. Thought for sure I would get it at some point, especially when about half the league are rednecks who don't believe it's real. But no, nothing. No outbreaks. I can only conclude that asymptomatic spread is over-exaggerated. 

Weekly report out in Sweden.  Some indication of a 3rd wave starting though it may just be a mini bump tied to our winter sports weeks which have just concluded couple weeks back.  We will see over the next couple of weeks.

Otherwise no major changes.  The bad news is how far behind we are with the vaccinations.  80% of the problem is supply tied to AZ not being able to deliver.  The reasons for that are somewhat complicated with plan A being shot due to supply chain issues with the AZ factory in Belgium and with their plan B backup plan being shot due to export restrictions in US and India who won't allow AZ to move their vaccine.  The US has 10s of millions in storage "just in case" but have no plans to use it at this point and AZ isn't an approved vaccine in the US.  This is affecting countries across the EU.  The EU not having plan C and plan D ready to go is of course their own making.

 

Your submission has been received. You will be contacted soon to schedule your vaccine appointment.

From the Health Dept.  We'll see how soon.  I think they are weeding out folks that are no longer in need of a 1st dose since everyone is registering in multiple platforms.

Do you know why things change during a pandemic?

They learn more about the disease so procedures and protocols change. Fauci is an expert. But go ahead, listen to morons.

Did everyone get tested? if not then how would you know that no one got it? if you are asymptomatic then you don;t know if you have it

Meh, I guess it's possible an asymptomatic outbreak swept through the league. But if no one got sick including spouses and family members of the league, did it ever really happen?

U.S. sets new vaccine record with 3.4 million doses administered in one day

https://www.axios.com/vaccine-daily-record-0da0a2d5-e494-4413-af4f-9babea418cbc.html

Quote

President Biden on Thursday set a new goal of 200 million doses administered in his first 100 days in office. At the current seven-day average, which increased to 2.62 million daily doses with the new record on Friday, the U.S. would comfortably reach that goal before his 100th day on April 30.

Trump CDC chief: Coronavirus ‘escaped’ from Chinese lab

 

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/26/trump-cdc-coronavirus-chinese-lab-478155

 

As usual for a Trump administration official, his CDC stooge claims COVID-19 is from a Chinese lab without a shred of evidence.

Idiots don't need evidence. They already know the answer.

I wonder what they will report in two weeks when the narrative changes?

I've seen more people not wearing a mask, or wearing a mask wrong, at the NCAA Tournament (coaches, players, and fans) than I have anywhere else since the pandemic started.

The huge number of people crossing the border, being held in cages, not being tested, that are illegals with "Biden let us in" t-shirts...........
