BREAKING: Shipments have begun of the first COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S., with shots expected to arrive in states starting Monday. https://t.co/MZFq3j49T8

Quick and dirty math here:

The Pfizer boxes are about 20"x20"x24". If they build the pallets to 5' height on a standard pallet, that's 8 boxes per pallet.

5,000 doses/box, times 8 boxes, 26 pallets per truck = 1,040,000 doses.

$39/dose = $40,560,000 cargo value.

Yikes. https://t.co/7FCCvLoFf9

Early #SubSunday. Fascinating photo of the USS San Francisco (SSN-711), a Los Angeles Class fast attack #Submarine. Note that the circular object over the screw (propeller) is a cover for dry dock and not a pumpjet. I am sure what is under there is interesting though. pic.twitter.com/hOgZr6leXe
