50 Cent Predicts National Lockdown
Outside of the hip-hop jokes, Fifty recently went to his Instagram page to share thoughts on the country gearing up for a possible lockdown. 50 shared a headline suggesting President-elect Joe Biden‘s coronavirus team believes a shutdown is necessary to avoid catastrophic COVID-19-related problems.

Donald Trump Celebrates COVID-19 Successful Vaccine
The head of state went to his Twitter page to break some massive news about a vaccine. Although he didn’t pinpoint an exact date, President Donald Trump promised a vaccine is soon coming.
“STOCK MARKET UP BIG, VACCINE COMING SOON. REPORT 90% EFFECTIVE. SUCH GREAT NEWS!” -Donald Trump’s Twitter
The Big Vaccine Announcement
Heading into last weekend, drug company Pfizer announced a hugely successful vaccine is being produced with German company BioNTech. The potential cure is reportedly 90 percent effective in preventing COVID-19 during its final stage of clinical tests.
Pfizer’s data has not been peer reviewed, and it still needs to do more work to prove the safety of the vaccine. But the announcement was a major step in the fight to stop the virus, which has killed more than 1.2 million people, put billions of people under lockdown, and hammed the global economy. Pfizer said it planned to apply for emergency approval for the vaccine, though it is not clear how long that process would take. (Business Insider)
