So it would seem that grocery workers are infected at a rate far below that of the general population. I will guess that the median age of grocery workers is somewhat below that of the general population, so that would account for some of the disparity, but not enough. If the safety protocol is the major contributing factor, that should shed some light on our predicament. Almost everyone goes to the grocery store.
Just pondering....
Oh, and thank you for your help!

Saw this in the news today:
| quote | by: Los Angeles Times
Supermarkets have been hit hard by the unprecedented explosion of the coronavirus in Los Angeles County, further straining an essential service that needs to remain open despite the new stay-at-home order.
Outbreaks are increasing at an alarming rate across industries, officials say — an unavoidable consequence of so many people falling sick in the region. But those at grocery stores and other essential retailers pose a unique challenge for officials attempting to reduce coronavirus transmission, as well as for county residents trying to pare down their activities to only what is necessary.
L.A. County is investigating ongoing coronavirus outbreaks at 490 businesses, compared with 173 a month ago, according to county data. The increase in outbreaks drives home officials’ warnings that the only way to stay safe is to stay home, even as many businesses remain open. |

It originated from a longer LA Times article, which requires a subscription to read in full which I do not have and won't sign up for.

Vaccine dashboards. Most states have their own dashboard either up and running or will have soon. John Hopkins will be updating their website soon (if not already) to include the number of vaccinations that have been administrated.

Bloomberg news has a web page showing initial days of vaccine use:

Note: A total of 211,086 vaccinations were reported. Data gathered from government websites, press conferences, public statements and Bloomberg interviews. Some states haven’t reported vaccination tallies, and it can take several days for counts to be added to local databases. State totals include city-level vaccine jurisdictions. States with asterisks have incomplete data. |

This is kind of interesting. Canada has reserved more doses of vaccine per capita than any other country on the planet. Geez, I hope we at least got a good deal.

It's Canada. We'll just store all this stuff outside in Edmonton.

Canada has a relatively very small population. California has more people than Canada.
