I see this more and more now, headlines that are inaccurate in some important way, but meant to get clicks.
Uhhh, yeah.  Almost exclusively.  It's the actual currency now.

BioNTech, which partnered with Pfizer to develop a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, is also working on an influenza vaccine but has chiefly returned to its main focus of developing therapeutic mRNA cancer treatments. Just as mRNA vaccines stimulate our immune systems to recognize and attack viruses, researchers are now pursuing mRNA vaccines designed to recognize and attack cancer cells. BioNTech is currently running phase 1 clinical trials for its mRNA treatments aimed at breast, ovarian, melanoma, bladder, and non-small cell lung cancer.

Moderna is developing mRNA tumor treatments, including personalized cancer vaccines that deliver a custom-tailored medicine designed for one patient at a time. The company sequences an individual patient's cancer cells to identify up to 20 different proteins that are not produced in normal cells. Then it creates a vaccine whose mRNAs express the novel cancer proteins, with the goal of training the immune system to identify and attack the patient's tumor.
Per CD's other thread about advances in the next decade, I believe mRNA just got a shot in the arm as one of the key new developments we're going to see over that time.

seems there might be a problem with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Sure...

But why only Michigan, or why so bad there?

Revolt. People are sick of the lockdowns. My business partner (co-founder) is from there and has a lot of friends still.

Also RE Michigan, I've heard chatter that because of the long lockdown period, Michiganders have not moved closer to herd immunity as some of the open states have. Not many people were getting it there. The state ranks #41 in cases/Million population. It ranks #10 in total population.

I watched the Braves' opener on TV yesterday,  They have views of the crowd outside pregame, 33% capacity, a LOT of folks with no masks in pretty crowded lines.  I think a lot of folks are done with this unless required like in  Kroger.  Fatalism takes over. if I get it I get it.

I just booked two vacations, one to Breckenridge in Oct and one to Hawaii for two weeks in December, a lot of the hotels were fully booked around Christmas.  I think travel is going to see a real surge.  The wife said to cancel anything outside the US.

That's plausible. I just looked up Maine and New Hampshire, two states also very low on the cases/1M metric, that are Northern and therefore coming out of winter like Michigan, and where I at least perceive they have been more locked down due to their political environment.

They're showing spikes. Not to Michigan levels, but spikes.
