The faster America gets vaccinated, the sooner we can return to our lives with our loved ones. That’s why I’m proud to share we set another record this weekend with 6 million shots reported administered across the country.

Over the weekend, the US recorded back-to-back days w/ 3+ million vaccine doses administered. Should only get better in the next few weeks, as more supply comes online https://t.co/jeRWzPF31N pic.twitter.com/EUuNf7kNCR

The US administered 2.0 million vaccine shots today, bringing the total to 127 million, or 38.1 doses per 100 people, enough to cover 19.4% of the population. The 7-day moving average remained largely unchanged at 2.49 million shots per day. pic.twitter.com/LEvgx79pXG

The expectation has always been that production would ramp up around now. There was an initial stockpile of 3.9 million. J&J had promised a total of 20m (including the 3.9) by the end of March.

The US had +45,748 new confirmed cases of COVID-19, bringing the total closer to 30.6 million. The 7-day moving average rose back above 56,000 new cases per day. pic.twitter.com/2xBfkUNEpe

Global coronavirus deaths have risen sharply for the 1st time in 6 weeks. The increase is driven, in part, by the B117 UK variant. "In the last week, cases have increased by 8% [globally]," said Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove of WHO. In Europe the increase is 12% https://t.co/xBHsunGatR pic.twitter.com/tYlOmE1lf1

Israel: Fully open economy, R still declining, now 0.62
40 days after exiting lockdown
From the peak of mid-January:
85% fewer daily deaths
72% fewer daily critically ill
86% fewer daily cases40 days after exiting the previous October lockdown, R was already at 1.15 pic.twitter.com/44Gw86nynq

Also interesting to look at it by age group. This chart is indexed to the peak of cases and shows the relative decline since then.
The plateau was mostly due to a plateau and even slight temporary rise among the younger people (who get vaccinated last). pic.twitter.com/85NtQ7DEg6

In Brazil, Covid is increasingly hitting younger people. There are fewer wrinkles & less gray hair among patients in ICUs as the country reels amid a Covid surge that is hitting people under 60. Brazil is also where the P.1 variant emerged https://t.co/1hbmy7J2W4 pic.twitter.com/8x3GksXhn2

This thread from #Brazil regarding the P.1 mutant strain of #SARSCoV2 is scary stuff. The variant — based on 3 separate studies — is 2.2 times more transmissible & people who previously had normal #COVID19 can be reinfected with P.1.

AstraZeneca may have provided an incomplete view of efficacy data on its COVID-19 vaccine from a large scale trial in the United States, a U.S. health agency said, in a fresh setback for the shot https://t.co/iGAIuPnVI7
— Reuters (@Reuters) March 23, 2021
It is very good to have data from a large, well-designed clinical trial that shows that the AstraZeneca #Covid19 is highly efficacious. These results are better than what was shown from the previous compilation of smaller trials. @matthewherper reports. https://t.co/VtYf9OrB6D

New evidence supports a link between Covid and hearing loss. A systematic review of multiple studies established the association. Pooled data from 24 of 56 analyzed studies estimate the prevalence of hearing loss was 7.6%, tinnitus 14.8% & vertigo 7.2% https://t.co/EdkTEDm45u pic.twitter.com/0Y0JH1jH4p
