As of now, the number of the US COVID deaths is 2,887.
The UK started testing the vaccines. What amazed me is not about the untested (not fully) vaccine (yet) but the people who administered it on the UK people. THEY DO OWN THE MEDIA. The headlines goes -- the vaccines is (supposedly) safe and effective. Plain and simple. It is so much so that it won't be read anything but otherwise. It should either be not safe or not effective.
As the budget negotiation is going on, there is more motive on exaggerating the hypothetical effectiveness and the ease of application on vast majority of people (or the vaccines won't work).
While this large scale fraud is going on in the media, the state of Florida raided the director that is formally fired for reporting the figures a bit higher the state suggested. The state authority confiscated the hardware from Rebekah Jones's house at gun point. The website stopped updating. As of Tuesday, December 8th, the worldmeter site states Florida has 7,985 cases and 120 deaths. The number of cases should suggest the positivity rates should be higher since the number is 'held down' presumably for the stock market. The market reacts on the number of cases.
