Weather Update – November 28, 2021

Today should be a good preview of winter. 🌨

It will be as cold as the first day of calendar winter πŸ—“ normally is in Albany these days. Nights will be mild but most of the week will feel like the month we are entering. It’s a work week and they have heating in the office 🏒 do what do we care. Just bundle up while waiting for the bus I guess. Day by day I guess, spring will be here eventually.

Vaccine makers race to stay ahead of new COVID-19 variants : NPR

Vaccine makers are already pivoting their efforts to combat the new variant: testing higher doses of booster shots, designing new boosters that anticipate strain mutations, and developing omicron-specific boosters.

In a statement sent to NPR, Moderna said it has been working on a comprehensive strategy to predict variants of concern since the beginning of 2021. One approach is to double the current booster from 50 to 100 micrograms. Secondly, the vaccine maker has been studying two booster vaccines that are designed to anticipate mutations like those found in the omicron variant. The company also said it will ramp up efforts to make a booster candidate that specifically targets omicron.
