Talked to Mom yesterday and she’s on lockdown because she rode In the car with my sister who then came down with the Rona. She doesn’t have any symptoms, so fingers crossed. She’s 82.

So Pfizer’s 95% effectiveness is good news as well as them projecting to get FDA clearance for emergency use within days.
As long as we start having these successful vaccines going around we’ll start beating this thing. |

Researchers in Denmark reported on Wednesday that surgical masks did not protect the wearers against infection with the coronavirus in a large randomized clinical trial.
From early April to early June, researchers at the University of Copenhagen recruited 6,024 participants who had been tested beforehand to be sure they were not infected with the coronavirus. Half were given surgical masks and told to wear them when leaving their homes; the others were told not to wear masks in public. At that time, 2 percent of the Danish population was infected — a rate lower than that in many places in the United States and Europe today. Social distancing and frequent hand-washing were common, but masks were not. About 4,860 participants completed the study. The researchers had hoped that masks would cut the infection rate by half among wearers. Instead, 42 people in the mask group, or 1.8 percent, got infected, compared with 53 in the unmasked group, or 2.1 percent. The difference was not statistically significant. “Our study gives an indication of how much you gain from wearing a mask,” said Dr. Henning Bundgaard, lead author of the study and a cardiologist at the University of Copenhagen. “Not a lot.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/18/h...h=login-google This is the only randomized control trial of masks that has happened since Covid19 appeared that I am aware of. The rest were weaker observational studies while RCT's are the gold standard for evidence. |

Heard the vaccine is only going to be effective for a short window (3 months) so welcome to quarterly Rona shots

We've lost a few well-known venues over the last few weeks. Things are looking bleak for people that do this for a living. My gig is only part-time so it's more just frustrating to me not being able to play but I've got a buddy that is doing construction work and things aren't looking good. |
