1. My latest is on the French coronavirus variant that is undetected by standard PCR tests. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshuacohen/2021/03/17/latest-covid-19-variant-discovered-in-france-isnt-detected-by-standard-pcr-tests/?sh=30d805cb7e18

   1. Excellent article. And depressing. All in one. Not you of course but the whole darned thing.

2. Thanks, Joshua. Will read if I can access

   Question.

   With Baker planning to open to all as of Patriots day, is there a way to know what percent of folks at risk are still unable to find an appointment

   1. I will now be eligible on March 22. Glad that Baker has this state ahead of Biden’s date of May 1. I feel much better of Baker than I did yesterday.

      I just hope the registration process will be as painless as the vaccine.

3. Grim situation in Paris and really throughout France: https://www.euronews.com/2021/03/15/french-government-mulls-new-restrictions-as-intensive-care-units-fill-up?

4. What’s going on in Brazil is tragic, preventable (at least the degree of suffering), and relentless. The P.1 variant scares the heck out of me. If that ever got going in the U.S. it would be bad news, as vaccines’ efficacy against it is significantly less, P.1’s transmissibility is worse than B.1.1.7, and it impacts a somewhat younger age group. https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1372305355460517891

5. C-19 for 3-18 is ready.
