Canada. Our Prime Minister made a deal before others and got ahead in the line. Then the big dogs snapped at the vaccine companies and our deliveries slowed down. I won't tell you who two of the big dogs are (but they are separated by a big ocean. Now we are being told 60-65 should get their first shot,
"Based on your risk profile, we estimate that there are 114,695 People in front of you if 70% of qualified people get vaccinated"
They estimate maybe April 15 for me.

Happy Anniversary!
Scientists figure out how new coronavirus breaks into human cells
It could aid in drug development.www.livescience.com
Covid-19 attaches to the angiotensin converting receptor to enter lung cells
If you are on an ACE inhibitor medication it may assist the virus
Now might be a great time to discuss changing to an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker such as Losartan with your physician.
Best Covid thread on the Net!

Former presidents, excluding Trump, tout vaccines in new ads
In a one-minute spot released by the Ad Council on Wednesday, former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama called on U.S. residents to get inoculations when they can in an effort to end the coronavirus pandemic.
“This vaccine means hope. It will protect you and those you love from this dangerous and deadly disease,” Obama said in the ad, titled “It’s Up To You.” The clip shows photos of all four of the former presidents and their spouses — former first ladies Rosalynn Carter, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama — receiving vaccines. Some of the former presidents also shared what they are looking forward to once the pandemic ends in the ad.
Clinton said he is anticipating going “back to work” and being “able to move around,” while Obama said he wants to see Michelle Obama’s mother and “hug her and see her on her birthday.”
Bush shared that he wants to go “to opening day at Texas Rangers Stadium with a full stadium.”
“We’ve lost enough people, and we’ve suffered enough damage,” Clinton said in the ad.

You would think Trump would be all over this.

I wanted for her to go tomorrow but with the north wind today she didn't want to shower. It messes with her balance/sinuses. She wants one ASAP so we can have the grandkids come visit again. I miss the little turds also.

Trump made sure that the vaccine would be available ASAP. In that they acknowledge the vaccine is a success makes it apparent that they can see that Trump has more of a clue than most politicians.
The bigger political headline is "How much of the covid relief 1.9 Trillion dollar bill is actually spent on covid relief?"
Depending on which website you may visit the numbers change some although it
is a sure thing that a tidy some is given to state governments to cover debts not created by covid.
and more spending
- $350 billion to bailout the 50 States and the District of Columbia. The allocation formula uses the unemployment rate in the fourth quarter of 2020. Therefore, states like New York and California –who had strict economic lockdown policies and high unemployment – will get bailout money. States like Florida and South Dakota – who were open for business – will get less.
- $128.5 billion to fund K-12 education. The CBO determined that most of the money in education will be distributed in 2022 through 2028, when the pandemic is over.
- $86 billion to save nearly 200 pension plans insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. There are no reforms mandated while these badly managed pensions are bailed-out. Many of these pension plans are co-managed by unions.
- $50 billion goes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). A portion of these funds is earmarked to reimburse up to $7,000 for funeral and burial costs related to Covid-19 deaths.
- $39.6 billion to higher education. This amount is three times the money – $12.5 billion – that higher ed received with the massive CARES Act funding from last March.
- $1.5 billion for Amtrak – the National Railroad Passenger Corporation. In FY2020, Congress appropriated $3 billion for Amtrak ($2 billion in annual appropriations, plus an additional $1 billion in the CARES Act COVID relief bill). In the three years before the pandemic, AMTRAK lost $392 million – even after a $5 billion taxpayer subsidy (FY2017-FY2019).
People of goodwill can debate each of these goals, but is it truly emergency spending or funding related to Covid-19?
And more
- $1.5 million earmarked for the Seaway International Bridge, which connects New York to Canada. Senate Leader Chuck Schumer hails from New York.
- $50 million for “family planning” – going to non-profits, i.e. Planned Parenthood, or public entities, including for “services for adolescents[.]”
- $852 million for AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps Vista, and the National Senior Service Corps – the Corporation for National and Community Service – civic volunteer agencies. This includes $9 million for the AmeriCorp inspector general to conduct oversight and audits of the largess. AmeriCorps received a $1.1 billion FY2020 appropriation.
and more
- $200 million in the bill to The Institute of Museum and Library Services (FY2019 budget: $230 million). This agency is so small that it doesn’t even employ an inspector general.
- $270 million funds the National Endowment of the Arts and the Humanities (FY2019 budget: $253 million) – In 2017, our study showed eighty-percent of all non-profit grant making flowed to well-heeled organizations with over $1 million in assets.
I'm sure if you are interested in more your google skills can get more detail.
