I feel that since enough members select all projects, WCG can shift the workload around as needed. So, I can pick my project goals as I like.

But COVID was my first project to reach 20 years, so now is the time for some of the other projects to catch up.

Thank you for your responses.
After hearing yesterday about the South African variant,
seems like this could be a struggle for years.

Ok, 2 mip the rest covid.

Looks like I'll get COVID before a vaccine.
In Canada we have to rely on European manufacturing,
and they are talking about hoarding it within the EU.
The yanks aren't sharing either.
We were supposed to be done by September, now they say next year.
I mean fair enuf, if Canada had manufacturing for vaccines I'm sure they wouldn't share more than a token amount.
Good luck everyone getting vaccinated.

Vaccine day tomorrow for me, but there is a suggestion that COVID will keep mutating and will need an annual jab of new strains just like the flu jabs do.

Opn is looking for cures for people who catch it rather than a vaccine to prevent it. There will be enough stupid refusers of the vaccine to need a cure. And for the next Coronavirus and the next and........

There also seems to be a link to Vitamin D levels which seems to be why BAMEs suffer more than whites owing to a less efficient use of sunlight to produce vitamin D as they originally come from areas with more sunlight. Suggestion - top up your vitamin D!

Rather than use an acronym (which I never heard of, I had to look it up) why not be more specific. I don't think it is OK to lump all those groups in one category. And show me the numbers where this is true. I have numbers from Minnesota which refute this assertion.
Using the 2019 estimated population figures and the current death figures from the Minnesota Department Of Health these are the numbers:
Ethnicity Population % of Total Population % of deaths
White, non Hispanic 4,460,149 79.09 83.17
Black non-Hispanic 382,621 6.78 4.84
Asian non Hispanic 288,583 5.12 3.82
Am. Ind/Alaska Nat.Non Hisp 60,251 1.07 1.4
Nat. Hawaiian/Pac. Islander/non-Hispanic 2,941 0.05 0.097
Multiple Races Non-Hispanic 129,957 2.3 1.42
Hispanic 315,130 5.59 2.995

There are two other categories which are listed on the website which are Other non-Hispanic and Unknown/missing. The total deaths for these two categories are 23 and 117 respectively which are only a small proportion of the total deaths (6210) in Minnesota attributed to Covid-19. ( I can not find a breakdown in the census data for these two groups.) As noted in the table above, the three groups which are affected more than what would be expected from their proportion of the population are White non-Hispanic, American Indian/Alaska Native non Hispanic, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander non Hispanic.
These are just Minnesota figures, the figures nationwide may be different, but so far I have not found the data to do this. So, I would caution about making blanket statements without the figures to back up the assertion. If I have any errors here, please post and let me know.
Cheers
