It will be interesting if this major cold is so cold that you couldn’t even have your get togethers that was generating a lot of the spread. This time it was likely a true quarantine for the middle of the country.

On the vaccine front Cuba has its own covid vaccine! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-56069577

“Soberana 2, the island’s domestically-produced Covid-19 vaccine.

Soberana (Spanish for "sovereign") 2 is a conjugate vaccine – meaning an antigen is fused to a carrier molecule to bolster the vaccine’s stability and effectiveness.”

“The results from the first clinical trials were "encouraging" and "very important", says the institute’s director, Dr Vicente Vérez Bencomo, and the Communist-run government hopes to give the vaccine to everyone on the island by the end of the year.

"Our plan is to, of course, first immunise our population," explains Dr Vérez at a news conference. "Moving to commercial production of Soberana 2, we’re planning to have in the order of 100 million doses during 2021 and we will dedicate an important part of these doses to the full immunisation of the country."”

“In the late 1980s, Cuban scientists produced the first meningitis B vaccine and the then-leader, Fidel Castro, opened the Finlay Institute partly with a view to finding ways around the decades-old US embargo on the island.”

“The coronavirus lockdown has been very painful for an island so dependent on tourism with the economy contracting a whopping 11% last year.”

“A viable vaccine would allow the island to reopen sooner and with more certainty than before. Soberana 2 would also generate some much-needed income if exported around the region.”

Amazing what a big storm/Presidents day can do – for the first time in a long time US is not #1 – in fact less than 1K death. France leads at 1413

CA is not leading in any category – wow the world has changed.

LA county still leads in confirmation and 3rd in deaths

NY/Ct is starting to pick up some confirmations and deaths

LA flattening out on confirmation per capita at 11.7%
