"One of the reasons Israel has been able to act so fast is because of deals the government made with Pfizer and Moderna that have brought millions of doses into the country, with more on the way. While Israeli officials won't say either how many doses have been bought nor how much has been paid for them, the media reports the government paid as much $US30 a dose, twice that paid by the US and Europe."

Israel may have paid more, but talking with friends living there it is apparent they are handling COVID19 better than us.  They have been hyper vigilant in quarantining and contact tracing.  As a result, there numbers have gone down really fast with any fresh out break.  If we could pay their amounts and just be done with COVID, how many of us would jump at the chance to have our economy and way of life back quickly?  I think this is the difference between a government treating this situation with a determined plan and one trying to constantly downplay it.

Mar-a-Lago should be shut down for flouting COVID-19 regulations, Florida lawmaker says

 

A Florida state lawmaker is calling for Mar-a-Lago to be shut down after President Donald Trump’s golf resort allowed holiday revelers to ignore regulations meant to help stem the spread of COVID-19.

 

Hundreds of guests without masks — including Donald Trump Jr., girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle and the president’s attorney Rudy Giuliani ― were captured in photos and on video crowding a ballroom to dance at Mar-a-Lago for a New Year’s Eve bash:

 

 

“Anybody with eyes” can see that revelers at Mar-a-Lago weren’t complying with the law, state Rep. Omari Hardy, a South Florida Democrat, said.

 

 

“They put their desire to have fun over the health of our residents,” Hardy told The Washington Post. “Imagine the most reckless thing you could possibly do, and that’s what they did. And they smiled and they laughed and they posted it on social media. They have no shame about it.”

 

Palm Beach County officials told the Post on Monday that they were reviewing Omari’s complaint.

Unfortunately this isn't really news anymore.  Just another daily occurrence.  It will keep this way until spring when vaccine rollout improves and serious people are in charge again.

I'm not sure the vaccines are going to help as much as they should.  

 

I've probably talked to 10 of my fellow health care workers and every single one of them is saying "well, they don't know what kinds of effects it might have yet".
