Heavy testing + isolation associated with reduced spread of #COVID-19, sometimes gave better results than general lockdowns.

At an $EMPLOYER teleconference about the #COVID-19 #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus vaccines, the speaker told us they don't even know whether they will be effective beyond three months. "We're building the plane in flight" she said.

@geniusmusing That's another negative sign. Each time the #SARS-CoV-2 virus crosses a species barrier, it faces different evolutionary pressures. That may be why it and the SARS ( #SARS-CoV-1 ) #coronavirus split to begin with.

Gov. Newsom plans to return #CA kids to in-person school in 2021. https://www.ksbw.com/article/gov-newsom-covid-19-briefing-dec-30/35098860 [www ksbw com]
This despite figures showing that children are effective vectors for the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus that causes #COVID-19. I read that 85% of #2019-nCoV infections were passed from someone younger than twenty.
The little germ factories will bring it home to their families.

The "coronavirus is fake" people have a new talking point:
> Death rates haven't risen.
The problem with that is that it will be late next year before the 2020 numbers are finished. So what they're going by are estimates, often not even official ones, that will change as data comes in from all over the nation.
No, the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus is real, and the disease it causes ( #COVID-19 or #2019-nCoV ) is real. There are some current restrictions that have not been shown to work, but some things do work:
* physical distancing -- 2 meters or 6 feet appears to be far enough apart that most larger virus-laden droplets fall to the ground
* face masks -- They reduce the amount of virus an infected person releases, but they also reduce the amount that one ingests. It does not have to be perfect. (Which was an issue early on, because official advice was to not wear masks. But by March, evidence was already coming in that masks help slow the spread.)
* hand-washing -- For years, we've heard that a common vector for colds and influenza is hands touching surfaces with viruses on them, then touching one's eyes or nose.
There are some others, but these three are well documented by now.

From 2020-May: Scientists' big shift in thinking about facemasks and #COVID-19 https://nu.federati.net/url/279094 [www irishtimes com]
7 months later, we still have people arguing. Wear your mask and keep your distance, so we get some common-sense policies to limit #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus infections instead of one-size-fits-all lockdowns.

Assuming these #COVID-19 vaccines provide long-lived protection (if you remember, just 2-3 months ago, there were questions about how long until reinfection can happen again after being infected), there are nearly 8 billion people in the world, and we need to get high (80%+) rates of vaccination everywhere. Until every village in Zimbabwe is vaccinated, there is still a chance for #SARS-CoV-2 or a closely related #coronavirus to reach out and take a bunch of lives.

I've seen some mention that there's a new #SARS-CoV-2 mutation in the UK that seems to be spreading rapidly. According to "BGR":{https://bgr.com/2020/12/15/coronavirus-mutation-uk-strain/}, there's no indication the strain causes deadlier #COVID-19 than other strains, or that the new vaccines won't work against it.
