Google vaccination announcement that strangely affects

by

I feel that it is not entirely healthy that an ad that consists only of search terms can provoke an emotional response.

On the other hand, as many others have remarked when this place took place in the Final Four this weekend, the message here is far superior to the CDC. Last week Rochelle Walensky’s store told us alternatively that we were facing “an imminent emergency”; that vaccinated people could not carry the virus; that, in fact, vaccinated people could to carry the virus, but it was still okay to travel; and that he shouldn’t travel anyway, just to be safe.

Contrast this with the simple elegance of Google’s point: go and take your life back.

In an advertising competition between a private entity that has to make money or die and an inexplicable federal agency, I don’t think we should be surprised that the corporation wins. Watch, then read on.

Americans get fired and get their lives back. On Friday and Saturday I had an average of four million doses a day, pushing the average of seven days north of three million. This represents about 1% of Americans every 24 hours. At the current rate, assuming we can find enough willing recipients, we could have at least one dose in 70% of the population immediately after June 15th. Among the elderly, we have already exceeded this threshold. More than 75% of adults aged 65 and over had the first stroke and more than half had the second stroke. What does this look like in practice?

Looks like this. The group of people who are most vulnerable to COVID death is shrinking.

The fewest deaths in a year. In Israel, where an even larger percentage of the population has been vaccinated, scientists are now talking openly about the final COVID game:

After a blockage during the second wave, infection rates soon increased and never decreased until another blockage was imposed. But after the third wave, “the vaccine effect has begun,” [biologist Eran Segal] said. The number R (increase in infections) has since dropped to the lowest level of the pandemic, he said, even though the economy is more open than it has been for a year.…

In the coastal city of Tel Aviv, the beaches have been packed for the Easter holidays. When the sun goes down, thousands of people head to bars and restaurants. While indoor locations should scan people’s green license, which has a QR code, many bars seem to assume that their customers are immunized …

Adi Niv-Yagoda, a health policy expert at Tel Aviv University and a member of the Covid-19 health ministry advisory group, said he believes Israel may have reached an end to the pandemic.

Meanwhile, here in the US, our public health bureaucracy cannot explain why vaccinated people should not travel, and only now, after 13 months, has it finally officially informed the public that viral transmission by touching contaminated surfaces it is unlikely. Experts do not return to normal without kicking and screaming, but eventually they will get there. We’ll shoot them following Google’s advice.

I’ll leave you with Scott Gottlieb again, pushing the Walenskys out of the world to be realistic about their health guidance. Both he and she noticed today that younger people increase the number of cases In some states, what would you expect, given how many elderly people have been vaccinated. Spring is here, restrictions are relaxing, young people are unprotected and want to get together. It’s a race between virus and vaccine to see if we get a real wave out of it or not.
