Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 12-25-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for December 25th, 2020.
Lots of fear about what the Christmas holiday will bring, especially in California. The state passed 2 million cases Christmas Eve and that’s before the effect of Americans traveling and gathering hits. Even with vaccines at least one coronavirus model projects the US death toll will top 567,000 by April 1.
The chief scientific adviser for Operation Warp Speed said the frequency of allergic reactions to the Pfizer vaccine is higher than what would be expected for other vaccines. Discussions are underway between the vaccine makers and the NIH about holding clinical trials of vaccines in very allergic populations.
Another new variant of the coronavirus appears to have emerged in Nigeria. Add that to variants already announced in Britain and South Africa. The mutations are leading to the swift return of international travel restrictions and other measures. Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country.
Mexico started administering the first 3,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The country's 1.4 million health workers will be first in line, followed by the elderly, those with underlying health conditions, and teachers. Mexico was the first country in Latin America to get the vaccine.
Two newly opened In-N-Out Burger restaurants in Colorado both had active outbreaks with 80 employees testing positive. The locations are in Aurora and Colorado Springs. Neither had allowed indoor dining and the state has not linked any customers to either outbreak. Both restaurants remain open.
