A lot of research, including Delta isn't more transmissible and a lot of vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, is your whole world vaccines.

A lot of research sitting out there, so going to get a few off quickly.

Heading toward the end of the week with yet another round of vaccine-heavy research summaries.

I used to do this all the time over a year ago, and if anything the contrast in death risk has gotten even starker.

A peak at cases around the country.

The state's reporting method makes it hard to track trends in breakthrough events, which is exactly what they intend.

A lovely day in Minnesota, which I will ruin by providing you with more CV-19 research summaries.

Health care spending is highly concentrated in a few Americans, and that spending is somewhat persistent.

The year-over-year charts reveal several items which require explanation and more data from DOH.

Active cases appear to be rising, but that is likely an artifact of excessive school testing levels.

Looking at the age groups the item that really stands out is the unnecessary and damaging rise in testing among school-aged groups.

Hospital capacity has dropped substantially in the last few weeks. You know why.

Looking at the proportion of child-age testing and cases shows how school opening leads to bad testing policy.

Another dreary week in CV-19 land, starting with the usual vaccine-heavy research summaries.

Almost all the interesting research seems focussed on vaccines and variants, but I start with a couple of CDC studies with little pearls of useful data.
