Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 12-09-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for December 9th, 2020.
The U.K. has started vaccinating. The first was given yesterday morning before dawn at a hospital in the English city of Coventry to 90-year-old Margaret Keenan. The second went to a man named William Shakespeare, so British social media are calling it the taming of the flu.
When will Covid-19 peak in the U.S.? Well the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation has hazarded a guess. January 20. They say that’s a worst-case scenario and assuming a 90-day vaccine rollout with 3 million doses delivered a day.
But first, the vaccines have to get approved by the FDA. An analysis released yesterday shows Pfizer’s vaccine showed no specific safety concerns. Next, a group of independent experts will meet and advise the FDA on whether or not it should get emergency use authorization.
In Canada, possible punishment if you don’t get an injection. Ontario’s health minister said those who refuse to take it could have restrictions put on them. These would make it hard to do things like travel and go to activities in communal spaces like movie theatres. Ontario will issue government papers people can show to prove they’re in compliance.
It’s not just us. Four lions at Barcelona Zoo in Spain tested positive. It’s the second known case of large felines getting it. They were tested after they started exhibiting symptoms. Two staff also tested positive after an outbreak was detected last month.
The top 10 counties with the highest number of recent cases per capita according to The New York Times: Lincoln, CO. Bent, CO. Dewey, SD. Montour, PA. Alfalfa, OK. Deaf Smith, TX. Lassen, CA. Prairie, MT. Jackson, AR. And Pawnee, KS.
