Conspiracy theories – one of the largest HCQ facilities suffered a major explosion – https://twpundit.com/2020/12/23/taiwanese-hcq-manufacturing-plant-suffers-major-explosion/amp/?

“This week, a large explosion rocked yet another country as a pharmaceutical factory in northern Taiwan caught fire. The explosion crippled the SCI Pharmtech drug manufacturing facility in T’aoyuan City leaving two injured and causing a major fire on December 20. The plant is thought to be the second largest supplier of raw materials for hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a 65-year-old drug that has been successfully used to treat Covid-19 but has caused a lot of controversy.”

Here is a recent study that hopefully will cause us more examination of our food system – they showed that Pigs particularly in the industrial setting – can get infected with SARS-CoV-2 infection – https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/1/20-3399_article

“The results of this study contradict previous reports indicating swine are not susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection (4,36). Previous studies did not detect RNA in swabs or organ samples, and no seroconversion was measured. Infectious dose, viral isolate, age, and breed or colony of swine could affect study outcomes. Of note, we used a 10-fold higher viral dose for experimental infection than was used in previous studies. Moreover, we obtained animals from a high health status farm in Manitoba, rather than a specific pathogen–free colony, to determine the risk to farmed pigs in Canada. Altogether, these findings indicate that further investigations into the susceptibility of additional domestic livestock species should be conducted to assess their risk for infection and zoonoses. Finally, we emphasize that to date no SARS-CoV-2 cases among domestic livestock have been documented by natural infection; however, the results of this study support further investigations into the role that animals might play in the maintenance and spread of SARS-CoV-2.”

Unfortunately no Christmas Miracle – 2899 people reported covid deaths in US

California leads the way in both confirmation and deaths again….

Once again LA is out there compared to other counties in the US

The only good thing is perhaps LA found a peak in confirmation – but it’s a long ways down. Death seems to not have peaked.
