<li>Despite ongoing headlines on slow vaccine rollouts and potential vaccine shortages in the first 3 weeks of January, overall sentiment on vaccine rollouts appears to be improving on the margin and negative coverage of the slow rollout has stabilized; this appears to be loosely correlated with price moves in WTI</li>
<li>Coverage of the vaccine hesitancy issue has been slowing since December; recent survey data suggests that while some geographic disparities remain, the hesitancy rate is dropping across the board</li>
