My prediction more and more news on side effects of the vaccine to come:

The awful thing of these side effects they are coming from the groups least impacted by covid. First off the odds of being in a place with covid, the odds of actually being infected, the odds of the infection actually impacting you – all play into ones risk/reward of taking a vaccine that has not many years of understanding – risk of side effects.

Heart issue for males under 30 – https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-reports-link-between-pfizer-2nd-shot-and-heart-problem-in-males-under-30/

Impact on female menstruation – so surprised no formal study done yet or in progress given all the anecdotal stories – https://in.makers.yahoo.com/could-period-changes-be-a-hidden-side-effect-of-the-covid-19-vaccine-035710419.html

What do investors want to hear from vaccine company – perpetual revenue – https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/02/this-ominous-warning-from-moderna-could-shake-up-t/?source=isafpbcs0000001&utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=firehose

“Moderna’s warning was that new COVID-19 waves are coming.

Moderna chief scientific officer Melissa Moore stated, "As the virus spreads, it is rapidly mutating." She added, "Some of these new viral strains appear to be even more transmissible than the original strain."

The good news is that vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer, in particular, have been highly effective so far. The bad news is, in Moore’s words, "We already know that some of these new strains are less susceptible to neutralization by our current vaccine."

Moderna’s researchers have found lower neutralizing antibody levels against several key coronavirus variants to be of concern, which suggests a risk of reduced duration of protection against infection. Because some of these variants are more transmissible, Moderna thinks that "new epidemic waves are undoubtedly on the way.”

Its coming back this fall/winter – but hopefully at a manageable level. We still have not solved the transmission – no guidelines on CO2 monitoring in public facility – this shocks me. Its cheap and effective. I have tested United flights from IAH to EWR – and they do keep under 1200ppm – I did have to turn on my air flow to get it down to 700ppm. At the DPS the levels were around 600-700 but right at noon they shut the doors in the front and the CO2 levels started to spike over 1200 ppm. For many other reasons you want good ventilation. It is a law in Taiwan to be under 1000ppm.

Mexico takes the death lead over India. What an amazing fatality rate 9.4%! Seriously something is very wrong in Mexico treatment of Covid.

India making good progress getting the numbers down,

Tamil Nadu still seeing big rise in confirmation – southern state.

Interesting Kentucky takes the death lead in the US at 285

Jefferson County KY and a few other KY counties showed up in our hotspots chart. FL typical leader in confirmation.
