Man. Thanks. A few here and there is reasonable. 150? That is unacceptable.
the wife is such a smokeshow
we have a factory in rural Illinois and their county dept of health is going to let the factory workers get vaccinated in the next couple of weeks, and so far we've had only about 30 out of 100 workers sign up to do so.
This is not going to cut it, way to politicize science and a pandemic fucking assholes.
Though on the positive side after the initial surge, you will easily be able to get a vaccine in a few months.
The messaging will have to change. We are doing a piss-poor job of broadcasting the best part about the vaccine: If you get the shots and wait for the immunity kick-in time, you're not going to get seriously ill from COVID. Instead, we're hearing stuff about "you may still have to wear a mask and social distance." I'm fine with doing those measures once you essentially prevent covid from fucking you up.
lead story from yesterday's NYT daily email was exactly that
compared it to the confusion around the messaging related to the benefit of masks early on
Biden has made clear that slowing down the spread of Covid-19 and getting 100 million vaccine shots into Americans' arms in his first 100 days in office are of utmost priority -- goals that will shape whether Biden's first years in office are ultimately deemed successful.
Maybe try putting shots into both of a person's arms at the same time to double the rate.
From this CNN article, the Biden admin goal is:
I am...uninspired by this goal. 100 million shots in 100 days is obviously 1 million shots per day. Over the past 7 days, we're averaging 832,000 doses administered per day. The old administration was clearly on track to reach 1 million per day pretty soon.
We need faster improvement. I don't know where we are in the supply chain pipeline, other than the fact that CDC says we currently have 19 million doses delivered and ready to be administered.
We need to move faster. Much faster.
why is it still the message that it's unknown whether people with vaccines are also carriers?
didn't trials start like six months ago?
