February is almost over and spring is so close. It's hard not to daydream with these non-freezing temperatures we've been having. I'm ready to get back outside and actually be able to enjoy it, and the first stops I'll be making will be some of these gorgeous spaces around Columbus.

The new, swanky patio will add over 80 seats to the restaurant and will also include an outdoor bar. I may be overly optimistic, but I just have such a good feeling about this summer in Columbus. I can't wait to sip on a cocktail on this patio.

The Johnson & Johnson single dose vaccine

is extremely effective. The media seems to be focused on "66.1% effective", but when you read deeper you learn:

"Generally in the study, the vaccine proved to be effective protecting against moderate and severe Covid-19. There were seven Covid-19 deaths among study subjects getting a placebo, compared with no deaths among those who got the vaccine, the FDA said. Likewise, fewer people who got the vaccine developed critical Covid-19 cases than volunteers on placebo did.

[…]

The FDA found there were two Covid-19 hospitalizations starting 14 days in the vaccine group, versus 29 in the placebo group. There were no new hospitalizations after 28 days in people vaccinated, while in the placebo group there were 29."
