    And in the news this morning:

    Moderna has begun a study of a booster shot designed specifically to fend off the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, the company said on Wednesday, one day after Pfizer and BioNTech said that they had launched a study of their own Omicron-specific shot.

    Moderna also announced the results of a small laboratory study suggesting that the protection its authorized booster shot provides against Omicron infections is likely to fade over the course of six months.

    After a single dose of the current booster, the level of Omicron-fighting antibodies rose 20 times higher than their peak before the shot, the company said. After six months, however, these antibody levels had fallen more than sixfold, though they still remained detectable in all of the booster recipients studied.

    Antibodies against the original version of the virus fell roughly twofold over the same time period, the company said. The results were published in The New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday.

    Waiting to see when they're going to start tracking the new variant.

    I'm hoping the national news tonight was accurate. 49 American states have seen a reduction in new cases with only one (Alabama) showing an increase. However, deaths are up, regardless.

    The reduction in deaths trails the reduction in new infections.

    Right now it looks as if the death rate may have peaked.

    The 2500+ people that are currently dying daily might take exception to your statement---but I hope you are right. Also, the 1/4 of a million a day that are coming down with it might feel far less angst to know it was only their imagination.
