California’s governor said Tuesday that the state has ordered thousands of body bags in the face of soaring covid-19 deaths — echoing grim messages from leaders nationwide as a massive vaccination effort begins in the coronavirus pandemic’s darkest days. The country is breaking records for new daily deaths and hospitalizations.
The Food and Drug Administration is likely to authorize another vaccine candidate as soon as Friday, but experts say the fast-tracked vaccines will come too late to prevent a deadly winter wave.
Here are some significant developments:
Congressional negotiations on spending and economic relief legislation picked up speed on Tuesday.
Wall Street snapped its losing streak as investors cheered progress in stimulus negotiations and the likely approval of a second vaccine.
The FDA authorized the first rapid coronavirus test that can be taken at home without prescription and that yields immediate results.
More than 70 percent of Americas say they will “definitely or probably” get a coronavirus vaccine, if determined to be safe by scientists and available free.
The World Health Organization is in talks with Pfizer to make its vaccine more affordable to poorer nations.

I just want to say! Is vaccination random? Will not be vaccinated in a limited way? It's hard to imagine this unexpected operation.
