Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Good job. Good effort.

 

The vaccine rollout has been an entirely predictable disaster. No money, no planning, just a rush to be able to say the doses were shipped (and they didn’t even hit those goals).

but it will get better. In March the US was doing 10k covid tests per day. By July it was 1 million per day.

the US has been the king of the unnecessarily scrambling logistical recovery

 

Just protecting the sanctity of a...freewheeling ...informal ... discussion on a .... sports journalists....message board...in the year 2020?

That can’t be right. Nobody would make it their life’s work to...

(Checks paperwork)

What the fuck?

 

A lot of it is not casual.

 

I agree. It is amazing how bad it is, though. My wife is a physician but not hospital based. It seems locally the biggest hospital systems got them to disperse at their pleasure with no real plan. So for the most part who are the hospitals giving it to? Whoever they want. My sister-in-law is a volunteer in a hospital and she got one. A volunteer. (As my wife said, though, at least she didn't turn it down.) But people who need them? Wait and see. My wife is trying to get one from Kaiser I believe and may have to drive an hour to do so but she's willing to do it. Her work places is still wait and see. But soon enough anyone who wants one will be able to get one, I have no doubt.

 

The vaccination pace will pick up, but so will the infection rate after New Year's. Between those two, we might actually see a full barn for the NBA Finals.

 

I feel like 1940s America would’ve just lined everybody up and stuck them without asking. And I’d be okay with that at this point.

 

My friend, it will be years before we see packed arenas again.

 

The other issue, I believe, is you need to get the second shot exactly 21 days after the first one. I foresee that being a problem in some cases, both with scheduling conflicts for individuals and the logistics of having the right amount of dose #2 shots ready.
