Our first doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine arrived this morning. The first UW Health employees will receive the vaccine this afternoon, following federal and state guidelines to begin vaccinating frontline healthcare workers.
This graph really highlights the importance of keeping up social distancing and mask wearing in (at least) the first two weeks following the first dose of the vaccine. You don't get immunity right away.

If anyone is wondering, I somehow passed the lat and long coordinates for each volcanic eruption to geom_polygon() which generated this beautiful monstrosity.
Finally worked on a #TidyTuesday data set since this week's was #animalcrossing themed! I looked at the distribution of villager birthdays by date and found:
- There are no days with >= 3 bdays
- 6/7 Lion villagers are Leos (dammit Mott)
#rstats code: bit.ly/2SJg1fS
This also brings up and interesting variant to the famous Birthday Problem. With 391 villagers, what is the probability that no three (or more) villagers share a birthday if we assume birthdays are randomly distributed?
