… India reported on Wednesday 9,283 new COVID-19 cases, a day after recording 7,579 infections – the lowest in 543 days. But testing has hovered around 1 million per day for the past few weeks, less than half the capacity. read more
“In the absence of sustained levels of sufficient testing, it is very difficult to determine the true level of infection spread in a geography,” Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said in a letter sent to the northeastern state of Nagaland, which has reduced testing by more than a third in two months…
India has so far reported 34.5 million infections. The United States has the only higher total number of cases. Deaths in India rose by 437 on Wednesday to 466,584.
Health workers have started a door-to-door vaccination campaign in India as tens of millions of Indians have not taken their second dose by the due date.
India has so far administered 1.18 billion vaccine doses – at least one dose in 82% of its 944 million adults and two in 44%.

1. I am typically a fierce critic of Trump, so I must say this: After having read a few such book, my impression is that Operation Warp Speed did contribute significantly to the realization of a successful vaccine. Not so much in speeding R&D, but approval and production. https://t.co/rLeMDZCoSX

3. But both companies benefited from the cutting of bureaucratic red tape to expedite vaccine testing and approval. And both took money to develop a production base in advance of knowing whether any vaccines would work, so we could immediately start producing.

Nationwide US cases again increased slightly, as did deaths. There has been no increase in the West or the Deep South. Cases in the upper South increased slightly. Every State in the Northeast continued to increase.
One year ago this week the winter wave in the Midwest peaked. There was a small increase today, but no significant increase in the past 5 days. States with increased cases include MI, WI, OH, IN, KS, and IL. ND, SD, NE, and MN show no increase week over week. MO shows a big increase, but it appears to be solely due to a data dump 6 days ago.
Last year there were big decreases right after Thanksgiving, followed by a big surge in the next 14 days. In the past 2 weeks this year, cases have risen nowhere near as fast as one year ago. The next two weeks ought to give us a big indication of how big, or (relatively) muted, the winter wave this year will be.
If the situation in the Midwest warrants, I’ll post before Monday. Otherwise the data will have big holiday distortions between now and then.

I’m sure the MAGA crowd will decry DC Comics for trying to “indoctrinate” our children about vaccination.
Which is pretty amusing considering that the same people who championed Nancy Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger telling kids what to do in the name of health and safety in the 80s are now against the government telling kids what to do in the name of health and safety.

I was looking at the San Diego data and noticed they show a big wave among the unvaccinated a few months ago which passed, leaving unvaccinated cases relatively flat. Vaxxed cases stayed pretty flat throughout. San Diego is not enforcing vax or mask mandates. So I think in Southern California at least almost everyone has had it or been vaxxed and we have reached endemicity. The cases we are seeing now are roughly the steady state from immunity decaying over time. The rest of the country is either already there or going through its last wave.
We will still see a holiday wave because holiday behavior favors transmission. But it won’t be huge, because there won’t be many naive people to infect, and it will end quickly once the holidays are over.

Have a great holiday A/L and others.
Yesterday (Wednesday) in the UK we had 42,484 new cases. The 7-day moving average is up by 8.7%. New cases by nation,
England – 36,550 (up 72)
Northern Ireland – 1476 (up 7)
Scotland – 2527 (up 46)
Wales – 1931 (down 2558, but Tuesday’s figures would have included a lot of catch up from the weekend as Wales does not report on Saturdays).
Deaths – There were 165 deaths within 28 days of a positive test yesterday. The rolling 7-day average is down by 5.5%. 140 deaths were in England, 4 in Northern Ireland, 17 in Scotland and 4 in Wales.
Testing – 979,922 tests took place on Monday, 22nd. The rolling 7-day average was up by 3.7%. The PCR testing capacity reported by labs on that date was 661,324.
Hospitalisations – As of Monday, 22nd, there were 8088 people in hospital and 928 on ventilators. The rolling 7-day average for hospital admissions as of 18th November, was down by 9.5%.
Vaccinations – As of Monday, 22nd, 50,800,732 people had had 1 shot of a vaccine, 46,186,817 had had 2 shots of a vaccine and 15,629,477 had had a 3rd shot/booster. This means that 88.3% of all people in the UK aged 12+ have had 1 shot, 80.3% had had 2 and 27.2% had had a 3rd shot/booster.

That strikes me as a pretty good guess. You probably have already seen the chart comparing EU countries’ vaccination rates vs. death rates. It really looks like there is an inflection point at about 75% fully vaccinated where death rates fall dramatically to below 15 or even 10 per million over a 14 day period. New England is close to that point in vaccinations, and CT, MA, NY, and NJ are close to or at that point with deaths

Our county numbers took a surge a month or so ago, and the public health officer instituted and indoor mask mandate again for everyone. The number of people wearing masks on the street went way up, from none to most. Guess what? Our case numbers went down. I think the first death in months did it. The most recent death was the guy who was the best tile man in the valley, the “only” tile man most contractors and customers wanted. Another set of jobs that will go away, to be replaced by out-of-town contractors at least temporarily.

California numbers are good, except for the except for the red counties.
Fair Economist
@New Deal democrat: Right, death rates drop a lot, suggesting we’re seeing mostly patients who already have some immunity. But they are still horrific, if you look at the UK – #3 cause of death, about half that of cancer. People would rightly respond with panic if we faced cancer mortality jumping by 50%.
Likely mortality will fall further on tertiary infection – the immune system *does* continue to learn. But still it will probably be “bad flu season” all the time.

I want to tell everyone who participates in this news gathering operation, along with senior editor Anne Laurie, how thankful I am for the sharing of information on this nearly daily posting.

I’m sure this daily thread has saved a lot of lives by encouraging vaccination and mask wearing.
Thanks, everyone !!
AlaskaReader
Curious if anyone has the expertise to know if there is a test where one can tell if someone who is vaccinated has ever contracted a previous case of Covid?
Follow on question would be can that previous infection, if detectable, can that infection be given a time line?
Would some type of blood test reveal different types of antibodies or would the antibodies from vaccination mimic possible earlier Covid antibodies and make it impossible to determine if there had been Covid infection at some point?
Matt McIrvin
@New Deal democrat: The New Hampshire wave has definitely come to Essex County, MA. Would not be surprised to see us hit triple digits/100k/day in cases in the next few weeks. Our vaccination rate is not that good for Massachusetts.
Well, I’m at the Manchester, NH airport now, boosted and N95’d and fast antigen tested this morning, headed down to see my parents in Virginia. Bringing more of those Abbott tests with me for one and all, doing all I can to not bring the plague. Ho ho ho.
LongHairedWeirdo
As a person who tries to be excruciatingly fair, I’ll grant that this is accurate.
It’s also pretty pathetic. “There’s a global emergency, where being able to approve a good vaccine, and produce it in sufficient quantities is a literal matter of life or death. So, uh… let’s see, would faster approval, and greater production capacity help, or hurt, once a worthwhile vaccine candidate exists?”
I mean, this isn’t like congratulating the Trump admin for wiping after pooping. This is like praising them for dropping trou before pooping.
That said: if someone out there thinks my claim is “Operation Warp Speed was completely useless.” I’m saying that it’s actual accomplishments weren’t something a normal person would proclaim as a victory, in and of themselves – you don’t get a Safe Driving medal for stopping for a traffic light that was red on your approach!
If Trump had actually been trying to protect the American people from Covid-19, and just very stupidly bungled things, sure, I’d force myself to be fair, and acknowledge Operation Warp Speed was a fine idea… but it’s literally nothing, given the active harm he caused.
