The Corona Virus, November 16, 2020

 There are currently 11,281,308 reported case in the US and 250,947 deaths.

Texas has 1,043,110 cases and 19,798 deaths
California has 1,030,780 cases and 18,263 deaths
Florida has 885,205 cases and 17,525 deaths
Illinois has 573,605 cases and 10,742 deaths
New York has 565,587 cases and 33,744 deaths

Texas and California have now both passed 1,000,000 cases. Moderna has announced that its vaccine is 94% effective. I suppose they had to one up Pfizer.

The first time over a million cases. The increase this week is larger than some of the total number of new cases during the summer. Biden has sent out feelers for a global mask mandate but red states have generally rejected the idea. What do these people have against wearing a mask? Yes, it's annoying but it's not that bad.

New Jersey is back where it was in April in terms of number of new cases. However the percentage of positive tests and number of hospitalizations are still much lower. Governor Murphy has announced new restrictions reducing the maximum size of gatherings. This might be useful if anyone was paying attention which I doubt.

The Bergen County increases continue to tracking the New Jersey numbers. 

I'm going for my yearly physical Thursday. Ain't that just great? In the meantime I haven't had a haircut since March and now tax season is approaching again. I feel like banging my head against the wall.
