Hey all. First, on a personal note, I received my second Covid-19 vaccination shot on Thursday. For me, it (this is the Moderna vaccine) definitely packed more of a punch than the first one as I definitely had more side effects. Basically it was like a minor short-run flu (fatigue, chills, fever…but not as bad as a full-fledged flu and also only lasting a few hours), to go along with the same sore arm as I had last time. But overall it wasn’t that bad and I think it will definitely be worth the benefits.
Second, a couple of housekeeping notes in regards to the data. New Jersey subtracted a bunch of duplicate reported cases on 4/27 while West Virginia subtracted reported deaths on 4/26 and I have adjusted for that in the graphs.
In regards to the graph trends, reported deaths are holding stubbornly steady overall. However reported cases are declining and I expect that once the lag period works it way through the reported deaths will follow in a few weeks.
