Today I got things I ordered - Chinese Whit Rabbit candy, my Olay order, and Instant Ink from HP. Of course Steve got 4 or 5 boxes, hard to tell. My Blink cameras are boxed up to go back to the test center. I'll miss seeing deer on the front lawn at 4 am, or the animal (I think it's a groundhog) waddling across the sidewalk. They are UPS, so I'll have to take them to Staples to make sure they get out alright
A story I saw online says the Black Lives Matter group has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. I suspect someone who hasn't been nominated will be perturbed and we'll hear about it soon.
Anthony Fauci, the government’s leading infectious diseases expert, said the new COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson is good news in the fight against the coronavirus even though it has lower efficacy than other shots already in circulation. Johnson & Johnson announced that its vaccine is 66 percent effective in preventing moderate or severe disease, a level of protection above the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) minimum but lower than the authorized Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which are effective roughly 95 percent of the time. Fauci said, “So even though the numbers when you compare against mild to moderate disease, 72 percent versus 94-95, clearly 94-95 is better," he continued. "But from a practical standpoint, from what you want to do to keep people out of the hospital and prevent death, this is a value added.” 

While the Johnson & Johnson vaccine’s efficacy is lower than that of its competitors, the company emphasized that its shot is 85 percent effective in preventing severe disease and was 100 percent effective in preventing hospitalization or death starting 28 days after vaccination. That's news for today.
