Freezing Rain 2020

Things have gotten more icy since I shot this, but this is my photo of the day.

US COVID News

President Elect bluntly says that things are going to get worse before getting better. So for now, I'm going to skip most of the latest pandemic news. It's not good.

Meanwhile, US COVID vaccinations have greatly slowed down and are currently only 1% of what had been promised by the current Lame Duck President's administration before the end of 2020. Going forward, things need to dramatically improve on that front or it will take almost 20 years to get everyone in the USA properly vaccinated against COVID-19. Hopefully, the new, incoming Presidential administration will be able to correct this situation in 2021. Guess we'll see.

Meanwhile, the currently outgoing president is spending all of his time on the golf course; rather than dealing with the pandemic. Apparently, he has stopped "playing" at being the US President. He's now spending all of his time just golfing and tweeting. So everything concerning the pandemic is now up to the Biden administration. However, that administration won't officially take over until the end of January.

So for us, today is the same as yesterday. Except for a little variety in the weather.
