Well, first a bunch of our besties from the middle east flew some planes into buildings. Then we decided in response to wipe our ass with our civil liberties and start murdering and torturing unrelated brown people...

Breach of air traffic control sends chilling threat as revenge for killing of Iranian general
Multiple air traffic controllers in New York heard a chilling threat Monday in audio obtained exclusively by CBS News: "We are flying a plane into the Capitol on Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged."
The threat refers to Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed last year in a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Trump. It was made on the one-year anniversary of Soleimani's death, for which Iranian officials have long vowed revenge.
It's unclear who sent the threat. While the government does not believe the warning of an attack is credible, it is being investigated as a breach of aviation frequencies, CBS News has learned.

I'm hoping this is a backlog / "we forgot to count any COVID cases over the last week" kind of thing, but Worldometers shows Texas with over 28,600 new cases today (with Bexar and Travis #s yet to hit). For reference, the highest new case count prior to today on Worldometers was 22,696.
Needless to say, but if you're in Texas, stay home as much as you can and mask up if you have to go out. January is going to be shitty.
Travis' nuimbers just posted. Cases not terrible @ 564, but new admits @ 115 is bad. Real bad.

The hospital I went to ran out of doses last night so cancelled today's clinic. Apparently some associates put off getting the vaccine early because they wanted to see how it affected people. They started trickling in this week to get it but I guess the ones who missed out will just have to wait until they get a fresh supply of round 1 doses. They will start giving round 2 out on Thursday.

Does this ally include the 2nd shot being held back?

A Dr. Brandenburg weighing on changing human's DNA through injections? Was his professor, Dr. Mengele unavailable for comment?
In all seriousness, his license is gone forever. But it does make you wonder how easy it could be to do this to larger quantities along the supply chain. We see kind of hippie-ish doctors in our family, more on the wholisitic side. But for this vaccine, I'm going to a nice Jewish or Asian fellow that believes strongly in hard science.
I pulled his license record to see where he trained at. Unlike Texas, Wisconsin does not appear to report where a licensee trained.

I volunteered for the Janssen two dose phase 3 trial. I'm supposed to go get the vaccine or placebo later this week. Quick question... will doing this effect my ability to get a Pfizer/Moderna vaccine once they are widely available in a few months?
You'll get dropped from the trial when you get one of the others.
