Across the country, some non-healthcare workers are getting their COVID-19 vaccines earlier than expected. In a scattershot practice, non-priority people are getting vaccinated ahead of schedule when pharmacies have extra doses thawed that must be used. Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines need to be stored at cold temperatures and used within hours of thawing. Business Insider reports the phenomenon occurs when vaccine providers must either throw out extra doses when they expire or give them to random people. In other instances, confusion about the amount of doses per vial and rumors of excess supply have led to mishaps in vaccine allocation. The US federal government hasn't specified what should be done when there are more thawed doses than eligible recipients.
On Wednesday, December 2nd, the US coronavirus outbreak set grim new records. 3,100 Americans died, a new high. Business Insider reports number of virus hospitalizations passed 100,000. The US is still the worst-affected country in the world. Officials are issuing dire warnings about the months ahead. President Donald Trump is barely mentioning the virus. He is still fixated on his election loss a full month after voting ended. On Wednesday, Trump released a 46-minute speech, which he called the "most important" of his life to discuss voter fraud in the 2020 election.
White House physician Dr. Sean Conley has said Trump tested negative for COVID-19 on "consecutive days." "The president is not infectious to others," Conley said. Conley did not specify when Trump's last negative test was prior to getting infected. He also did not explicitly state which days the president consecutively tested negative. The memo was released shortly before Trump was set to hold a campaign rally in Sanford, Florida.
