I wonder how well cases are
I wonder how well cases are getting counted and reported.
In just the past week I've encountered several people in my neighborhood reporting Covid-19 cases and one death. One woman reported a friend from a nearby county, probably in their 60s, recently died from Covid-19. Then she said an elderly relative is just now getting discharged after having a bad case. Another person reported their daughter living near Nashville has a bad case, after returning home from a trip. Finally, a local couple both had Covid-19 a couple of weeks ago. This couple has had Covid-19 more than once. They don't care.
Be careful out there. Get vaccinated.
Novavax?
Heard anything about the vaccine Novavax?

If I'm reading this correctly. I have heard of this quite a bit in cancer research.
