promoearn: Your weekend long reads 💉

Saturday, November 21

Good morning, friends of The Short List!

It seems now that the election is over, there's one thing dominating the news: THE COVID-19 VACCINE. The change in headline scenery is welcome, because each milestone appears to push us closer and closer to the vaccine the world has waited months for (11 months, give or take). Here's the latest on the vaccine front:

•	"The best news so far" has arrived in America's bitter battle against COVID-19: Vaccine makers are winning a race against time.
•	COVID-19 vaccines are coming. When one is ready, people who risk their lives to care for the sick will be first in line to get it. But who's after that?
•	How soon?! Pfizer vaccinations may begin next month.
•	Minus 112 is so cold rubber shatters. That's the temperature required to store Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine, and it's prompting a rush on dry ice.

Plus, we've got a few more long reads you can't miss: 👇

Republicans, who tend to downplay the virus and see it as inevitable, and Democrats, who see it as a controllable threat, live in different realities.
