First the bad news. The numbers across the US, Florida AND Miami-Dade are up. Ominously for Miami-Dade, the positivity rate leapt from 5% to 7% and anything above 5% is PELIGROSO with a capital P. We trust Judges Sayfie, Soto and Bailey know that such an increase requires them to seriously consider halting plans to bring jurors and witnesses and judges and staff and lawyers back into the often-scrubbed REGJB.
Soto to Sayfie to Bailey is not Tinkers to Evers to Chance "words that are heavy with nothing but trouble" but it has a nice rhyme to it.
US Pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced early Monday morning that it's Covid19 vaccine is 90% effective with no serious side-effects seen in the early data. A 90% effective vaccine puts the vaccine in the top the level of effective vaccines like the vaccine against mumps and measles. Careful readers of the blog have discerned that Rumpole has repeatedly said that Pfizer would be first to get a vaccine approved as unlike Moderna, Pfizer has vast experience in bringing vaccines to market. Moderna has none. In response to this great news, the Dow futures are up 1,500+ points.
Pfizer will ask the FDA for emergency use authorization by the end of November. However, because the vaccine news came after the election, President Trump, along with firing Dr. Fauci will be defunding the FDA and all food and drug approvals are being sent to the Four Seasons Total Landscaping firm in Philadelphia- taking care of Philly lawns since 1992.
Uno problemo - Pfizer's vaccine must be kept at -80 degrees, meaning the 100 million doses to be distributed will need mucho dry ice. Segundo, the vaccine must be administered in two doses veintiuno dias apart (21 days apart). But as John Lennon said, there are no problems, only solutions.
Please look for our on-line petition to have legal bloggers vaccinated first. We will post it shortly.
Meanwhile, although global warming is a democratic fiction right up there with Biden winning Georgia, Miami has a snow-day as a hurricane churns off the Florida Keys in November. ETA -which is named as such as we went through all 26 letters of the alphabet with named storms and turned to the Greek Alphabet, will enter the Gulf, and much like the magic bullet- will stop- turn 90 degrees, and head back towards Florida, because as we tweeted in our award winning twitter feed @Justicebuilding, Florida voted for Trump, and we believe in Karma.
Let's end on a high note- YOUR MIAMI DOLPHINS ARE FOR REAL! They took it to the Arizona Cardinals on the road, came away with a win, and may well be headed for the Playoffs. With a hot new QB, a great coach, and an outstanding D and the Cheaters in New England flailing without their cheating QB who got spanked on national TV Sunday night, the future is bright for the Aqua and Orange.
