Not the best news in this report. Currently only documenting 5 months immunity after getting covid. Article notes even with immunity via confirmation or vaccine you can still transmit it. The vaccine is more to reduce the severity not eliminating transmission https://bgr.com/2021/01/14/coronavirus-immunity-covid-19-survivors-infect-others-siren-study/
“A new study from the UK indicates that coronavirus immunity can last for up to 5 months after infection. The researchers plan to follow the participants for up to 12 months to determine a more accurate estimate.
The study also offers a key finding that was previously unaddressed in COVID-19 research. People who acquire coronavirus immunity after being infected can still contract the virus without experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and then infect others.
As immune people could carry the virus in their nose and throat, it’s crucial for people to continue respecting health measures even after beating COVID-19.”

CA leads the US again
LA county again leads all county by a longshot. Harris County TX is showing up second place but 1/3 LA.
A little more dispersion
Perhaps some sign of LA confirmation peaking – not death yet
