Lots of news surrounding COVID, including the CDC declining to add a negative test result requirement to its updated isolation guidelines, the Biden Administration doubling its order of Pfizer's antiviral pills to treat COVID -- and French President Macron's vow to "piss off" the unvaccinated. As for autos: Ford U.S. auto sales fell in December from a year ago but surged sequentially in Q4 -- and Chrysler said it plans to have an all-electric vehicle lineup by 2028.
