Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 12-30-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for December 30th, 2020.
The first case in the U.S. of the variant first seen in the United Kingdom has been reported in Colorado. It was a man in his 20s with no travel history. There’s also a second suspected case who worked in the same county as the first man.
California's top health official extended strict stay-home orders in areas where ICU’s have few beds. He said while hospital and positivity rates appear to be stabilizing from a Thanksgiving surge, that’s not the case in Southern California, including Los Angeles County.
Yesterday we told you about revised fatality numbers in Russia. Today it’s China. A study from the Chinese CDC shows nearly half a million residents in Wuhan may have been infected. That’s almost 10 times the official number of confirmed cases there.
This is not what you want to hear. The World Health Organization says the coronavirus pandemic is “not necessarily the big one” and the world will have to live with Covid-19 as it becomes endemic even with vaccines. Professor David Heymann says Covid-19, like other human coronaviruses, will continue to mutate.
We told you of the Tyson Foods managers in Waterloo, Iowa who were fired for betting on how many of their workers would get COVID-19. Well one is now speaking out in an attempt to clear their names and prove they aren’t evil people. His defense, the office pool was spontaneous fun meant to boost morale.
