The world is at 51 million coronavirus cases, with one and a quarter million deaths. In the US, Texas is well in the lead with more than a million cases. Despite our ongoing second wave, Massachusetts recently fell to #22 in case counts, having been displaced by the rapid rise of Minnesota.
The big news of the day is Pfizer's press release praising their vaccine candidate for being "more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19 in participants without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection in the first interim efficacy analysis".
On the COVID only comes out at night front, more places are joining the curfew craze. Denver is explicitly restricting residents' movement after 10pm. (In Massachusetts the restrictions are mainly on businesses, not people.) New Jersey is closing restaurant dining at 10pm as well as indoor food and drink service at "bars, clubs and lounges". PlagueBlog is jealous that they have bars, clubs and lounges.
P.S. Massachusetts cases were up three quarters of a percentage point today.
