So Monday's final tally ... 162,149 new cases and 739 deaths .... remember Monday's total in the USA is usually the lowest figure of the week so sadly if this is where it starts this week, who knows where it will end up by Friday

For the people posting gloom and doom for MSB now that two vaccines have been announced, perhaps read the last MSB COVID-19 announcement of 11 November 2020 again - in particular this paragraph



Mesoblast Chief Medical Officer Dr Fred Grossman said: “We are very pleased with the recommendation by the DSMB, as we seek to confirm whether remestemcel-L improves survival in ventilated COVID-19 patients with moderate to severe ARDS. Patients who have co-morbidities or are older are likely to continue to be at high risk of ARDS and death, even if COVID-19 vaccines become available. This is why having a potential treatment that reduces mortality in these patients is so important.”
