The Next Phase of Vaccination Will Be Even Harder
Getting vaccines to hospitals and nursing homes was supposed to be the easy part.

Ny has had to throw away vaccine doses. In California, the by job system has led to several people being vaccinated that shouldn't have been that I personally know of including: a) a social worker working from home virtually (does not make house calls), b) 2 telemarketers working from home in their 30s, and c) a small business owner in her 40s whos business is closed. Just do it by age....vaccinate as many people as you can.

Is that against Fauci’s recommendation?
The FDA's/CDC's recommendations.
My spec ed teacher friend just told me they got the order the county of LA is suspending all on campus activities until "at least Feb. 1" including high risk/spec ed learners. OS's religious school though still plans to go full reopening (I suspect they have a settlement but the transparency there has been lacking).

Is/was LA county back on campus? Even partially?
Special ed and at risk students
Elementary schools operating under waivers (both private/public)
Sports "camps".
And potentially (I can't get a straight answer on why they think they can reopen) religious middle/high schools....can't figure out if they have a settlement which exempts them from this or if they are just defying county orders on the grounds they are religious.

Ah, ok. Gotcha. Meanwhile, not only are we hybrid but soon we're all back on campus, not even in cohorts, come March. Makes no sense!

This is Kevin Greyson of Athens, Alabama. Mr. Greyson died in the capital building during his attempt to overthrow our democracy. How did he die? He was attempting to steal a picture of Tip O’Neal when his own stun-gun fired in his front pocket. While electrocuting his own testicles, Mr. Greyson also suffered a heart attack and died on the scene. Under the feet of his other rabid insurrectionist traitors, with Tip O’Neal looming still oh-so-large over him. I sure hope Trump was worth it to him.

Far be it from me to take humor in someone else's demise, but holy fuck is that funny.
vc is 3rd worst county in California. Cases are concentrated largely in the west portion of the county (Ventura/Oxnard) which is heavily Hispanic. Hypothesis: reason why it’s spreading in these areas (as opposed to Conejo, Camarillo, simi suburbs of la) is because people in the west portion are working. If you work not only can you catch it at work, but if you work you think it’s ok to socialize (see Tom cruise rant) and you need childcare. The lockdowns are thus not only ineffective they are not equitable.

An excellent thread. Further idiocy from out health experts. They should approve the AZ vaccine right away....prioritize it for everyone under 65....save the Pfizer/Moderna for everyone 65+ and health care workers. Idiocy.
