Moderna said their vaccine is stable for 30 days between 2 and 8 degrees. If true, it's way easier to deal with than the Pfizer vaccine that needs to be kept crazy cold.
I'd been hoping we'd get results from Johnson & Johnson. They started Phase 3 in Sept too. They started a second trial where they're administering two shots. I wonder if that means there early data wasn't great. |

I really don’t get Fauci saying we could be completely back to normal by next winter. If we have vaccines early in the year for high risk and medical professionals and then the rest in March/April this country should be completely fine by Summer if not earlier.

It’ll take a while but yeah, once people get vaccinated they’re going back to normal. I sure as shit am. And I hope I never have to hear about public health again for a while |

Between these two we can inoculate 35 million people by the end of the year
So nursing homes and health care workers first right? |

Fauci told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” he thought that would be possible to achieve by the second or third quarter of 2021, but the question of when Americans can safely gather in large groups again depends on a number of factors. He pointed to Pfizer’s announcement that early data shows the manufacturer’s coronavirus vaccine is more than 90% effective and noted that a second company is expected to soon unveil its early results. “That’s great, but we have to get people to take the vaccine,” Fauci said. “So, if we get the overwhelming majority of people taking the vaccine, and you have on the one hand an effective vaccine, on the other hand, a high degree of uptake of the vaccine, we could start getting things back to relative normal as we get into the second and third quarter of the year, where people can start thinking about doing things that were too dangerous just months ago,” Fauci said. But he added that the country “can’t just wish it happening.” Vaccines have to come, they must be deployed and fundamental public health measures can’t be abandoned, Fauci stressed. “You can approach a degree of normality while still doing some fundamental public health things that synergize with the vaccine to get us back to normal,” he said. |

Assumed that health care workers and nursing home patients get it first. Which groups are next? |

This is great news about Moderna. I will be getting the Moderna vaccine since that is probably what our company will be distributing. I will wait awhile though, maybe until spring time to get it just in case.

And has anyone posted the studies done on the GS-441524 component of remdesivir? It's worked really well on cats, rats, and while not as much still effective in monkeys. |

Side effects seem mild as well.

However last January when I should have been enjoying the playoffs I was sick for 3 weeks and almost went to the hospital. The week before the SB I was coughing up about 10 oz of fluid a day. Looking back it was very Covid like. My old boss and I both think we got it back then and that's why we didn't in the last 6 months or so when everyone else did. |

They need good messaging and safety data on it. I think the number who get it will be a lot higher than the flu for sure. They need to approach the nfl and other things of the like to promote the data and such. |
