All Danish mink must be killed for fear of virus mutation

All Danish mink must be killed.

This is what Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) says at a press conference and calls it an "extremely serious situation".

- The virus is mutated in mink, and the mutated virus has spread to humans.

It could be a bomb during an upcoming coronavirus vaccine .

- The mutated virus among mink may involve the risk that the upcoming vaccine will not work as it should, says the Prime Minister.

Corona has been observed today on 207 mink farms in Jutland. The Statens Serum Institut has found five examples of mink farms and 12 examples in humans where mutated viruses show reduced sensitivity to antibodies .

Where all those dopes at who thought it would magically disappear?

Baltimore Sun:

The coronavirus pandemic is surging in Maryland, with daily cases, hospitalizations and the state's testing positivity rate reaching their highest levels Wednesday in months.

Maryland health officials reported 1,000 new coronavirus cases Wednesday — the highest daily total since Aug.1 — and 10 more deaths tied to COVID-19.

And the state's seven-day rolling testing positivity rate was 4.1% Wednesday, up from 3.93% Tuesday and the first time the rate has been above 4% since Aug. 7.

Every day a new record in how much pressure I can take. 

[Diomedes]

For the first time, more than 100k new cases reported in one day nationwide.

MD reporting 3rd highest new daily cases count since pandemic began. 

the last four days:

771
1000
1198
1541


Not regretting my call to keep the kids home from school, which reopens Monday for any families who want to go back.  We were among the approximately 28% who opted out.  I doubt the school operates for ten days before everyone is sent home again.

Pfizer early look under the hood is showing up to 90% efficacy of the vaccine so far. Still early but good news

[Diomedes]

It's not the only vaccine showing promise either.  Welcome news.  Most Covid news is bleak as farg.

MD now reporting pandemic-highest two week average of daily new cases, and is back above 5% positivity rate.  All metrics rising rapidly, bad times ahead.

El Paso is getting in more mobile morgues - so that's how they're doing.

Great news on vaccine. Even greater that it came out after the election.
