A nurse in California tested positive for COVID-19 more than a week after receiving Pfizer Inc's vaccine, an ABC News affiliate reported https://bit.ly/2L8iBel on Tuesday, but a medical expert and the U.S. drug maker said the body needs more time to build up protection.

Well, like the flu shot, you need two weeks to build up immunity. It's not a surprise. Of course people reading this story, some of them are going to think it's pointless now.
 
Just FYI: my sister just said that her husband has "the new strain." According to her this was told to them as part of the test results. I'm only passing along the info. I don't know exactly what she means by that. I take it to mean the new strain that has been in the news lately for mainly the UK but also in Colorado recently, but I don't really know.

I started thinking yesterday when they announced the Colorado case that maybe this new strain has been here a while. This would help explain the post thanksgiving explosion in cases?

My guess is if this is indeed the case it will be reported via the news (i.e. new strain confirmed in NC or some such thing).

I dunno about that but I'd think the post Thanksgiving explosion of cases was cause people gathered for Thanksgiving and wasn't careful in the homes of people they visited. Same with the explosion of cases we're likely to see because of Christmas.

I don’t know, the current explosion of cases really started in early to mid October. Thanksgiving’s reporting delays made it seem like it was leveling off around the holiday, but I think that’s just a holiday artifact.

Isn't most of the western world in masks and under some form of lockdown?

No. I still see tons of people without masks and traffic and business as usual is the norm. I went by texas.roadhouse the other night and the entire parking lot was full and actually overflowing Into a neighboring parking lot.

All the restaurants around here are operating in limited capacity, if they're open at all. Lots of places have a big to go business. And everywhere I go, I see most people in masks. Up in the country where my mom lives, you'll see more groups without them. But there's still more wearing them.

Today I drove from Alabama to North Carolina and everywhere I stopped people had masks on.
 
One thing I've noticed about this virus is that the people who think we need to lock down more hardly ever see people social distancing and wearing masks. And people who think we need to open up see people with masks everywhere.

Another thing I've noticed is that places where the lockdowns and mandates are the strictest seem to do little better than places where restrictions are less. And there is always a different excuse for this.
