COVID-19 - The Bad News And The Good News



The two charts above (from Axios.com) show both the bad and the good news about the pandemic in the United States. 

The bad news is that the virus is not decreasing in any state. It remained steady last week in three states, but is increasing in the other 47 states and the District of Columbia. And there is no reason to think it will subside anytime soon. It's going to be a tough winter.

The good news is that it looks like at least two vaccines will be ready soon, and may even be ready for mass consumption by early spring. And they seem to be very good vaccines -- over 90% effective. That would make them among the most effective vaccines available for any disease.
