This is why the Florida vaccination plan (65+ before essential workers) makes so much more sense in comparison to either the federal or most blue state plans.
It would be interesting to see what the other states with a high geriatric population do - do they follow Florida's lead?
Well, if you look at California, you have 74.1% of the deaths coming from 10.3% of the cases. Why would t you focus the vaccinations on that portion of the population first?

Yascha Mounk: The CDC came scarily close to adopting a plan that would have killed thousands of Americans.

Fauci today saying we need 90% to get herd immunity. More interesting he says he keeps moving the goalpost in part because the science evolves (I’m not aware of anything new of the herd immunity front in months) and in part because he lied. Seriously all these people (Fauci, Redfield, Ferguson, even now Birx) are really awful at the messaging portion of their jobs. CDC saying everyone needs to get vaccinated before masks, distancing etc can be relaxed. It’s like we are playing a huge game of calvinball.
Meanwhile at my uncles old hospital a radiologist colleague has gotten the vaccine. Surprised my father and uncle when they heard. While the nurses and technicians that scan the patients in the er are considered front line, the radiologists aren’t. Has them wondering if it was just special treatment or if some of the frontlines have declined the vaccine (freeing up others to receive). They (because of my fathers allergy problem) have also been trying to get the side effects reports on those that have been vaccinated so far and the information isn’t out there easily...only a few states have published so far.

United Airlines Passengers Who Gave Aid to Dying Man With COVID Were Given $75 Flight Voucher
It's been confirmed that a man who died last week in some respiratory or cardiac distress on board a California-bound United flight out of Orlando was COVID-positive. And now passengers who helped administer medical aid are wondering why they had to find out from the news media.

Now you sound like someone sitting in the cheap seats of a big time meeting, asking or proposing something sensical and getting the deer in the headlight look. Recommend something practical? nothing to see here, move it along.
Have a friend in NJ who got the vaccine as she works healthcare. Surprised me as she’s in finance for a hospital group (late 30’s with no medical conditions/risk factors).
‘front line’ seems to be very loosely defined.
MSNBC rolled out a doom and gloom doc Thursday morning who warned Americans not to get overly optimistic about a Covid vaccine because we are in for a “decades-long battle.”
Dr. William Haseltine promoted his books on Covid19.
I had a soccer doc tell me if my dd goes and plays high school soccer that it's the worse decision I could allow her to do and it's doom & gloom for her dream.

Dr F has been holding back everyone. The game of guesstimates with ourlives. This guy just turned 80 and is making huge decisions for our future and our kids.
In a telephone interview the next day, Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks. Hard as it may be to hear, he said, he believes that it may take close to 90 percent immunity to bring the virus to a halt — almost as much as is needed to stop a measles outbreak. Dr. Fauci said that weeks ago, he had hesitated to publicly raise his estimate because many Americans seemed hesitant about vaccines, which they would need to accept almost universally in order for the country to achieve herd immunity.
Now that some polls are showing that many more Americans are ready, even eager, for vaccines, he said he felt he could deliver the tough message that the return to normal might take longer than anticipated.
“When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent,” Dr. Fauci said. “Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.”
This guy is a Politian. He goes by the polls. Most of the docs in soccer were Politians as well and not real docs

So I'm on our Christmas Even church service on zoom. 2 families have grandparents over to their house, indoors. Wearing masks. I have no problem with people making the choice how they want to worship or how they want to conduct their family relations. I respect my own parent's decision to not have anything to do with us this holiday. But this @dad4 is why I think honest advice about masks is important. The 2 families think they are "probably safe" because no one is symptomatic and they are all wearing masks. They think the masks are protecting them despite being together indoors 3+ hours and not eating together (one family ate earlier masks off, the other in different rooms). If they were told the masks in that situation probably don't do anything, maybe they make the same choice. Maybe they decide its not the best idea to get together. But they think the masks are protecting them "because that's what the science says and we believe the scientists" and therefore aren't making informed decisions about what's happening.

Vitamin D, other everyday vitamins could counter coronavirus effects: report
Studies reveal nine out of 10 COVID-19 deaths could have been prevented if people had adequate Vitamin D levels
How do we get vitamin D? Our body creates vitamin D from direct sunlight on our skin when we're outdoors. From about late March/early April to the end of September, most people should be able to get all the vitamin D we need from sunlight. Get outside to the Light so you can breath, get sunlight ((Vitamin D)) and save your life. Time to kick some ass soon. What a bunch of wimps using people to stay ahead and in charge. Cheaters and Liars suck!!!

OC Fear Tracker Update
Also, this just in. New strain fear tactics from the UK. Heads up to all you. It's going to get a lot worse before it get's better. Stay safe and help those in need. If you help with a good heart, I promise you 100% rich blessings will be rewarded to you. It comes down to choice.
In justifying the move to a new national lockdown, the leaders of the UK briefly enjoyed the political fortune of a headline-grabbing finding: a new strain of Covid-19, possibly more virulent than the old.
This strain, despite the paucity of scientific data, has been described as “up to 70 per cent more transmissible than the old variant,” and it is this figure which has gripped the media and policymakers. The tendency towards catastrophism is palpable.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that Americans could start thinking about a return to “some form of normality” by the fall. There you go folks. All my insiders say the same thing. Mask, Vaccine no sports until Fall in socal.
Fauci told Bash that while the two vaccines — one from Moderna and the other from Pfizer — were being administered based on risk first, the general population could see widespread vaccination in the summer months.
“Well, if you look at the logistics of it, Dana, right now, we are going through the priority groups,” Fauci explained, noting that the highest priorities included health care workers — who have to stay healthy in order to continue to provide care for patients — and the elderly or those who have underlying medical conditions.
“Once you get there, what I call open season ((in my yellow page day, open season met we could go into anyone else sales territory and steal the sale)), namely when anybody who is anybody, you don’t have to be a priority person, should get vaccinated ((this is him hitting us soft because were like little kids and can;t handle the real truth. Next year, he will bitch slap us the real truth)). I think we are going to get there probably end of March, beginning of April,” Fauci continued, adding that the United States could reach the point where approximately 85% of the population was vaccinated by mid to late summer ((what about the 15% WHO are super healthy and are a no way for bat virus shot))
“I hope by the time we get to the fall, we will reach that critical percentage of people that we can really start thinking about and return to some form of normality,” he concluded.
Fauci had previously suggested late June ((moved goal post again)) as the time that people could begin going about their business ((if they even have a business left in the fall)) without wearing face coverings, telling CNN’s Chris

If true, has profound implications:
-we know most transmissions take place in the home....means transmission from home to home taking place because people are aholes and going outside despite not feeling well.
-Another explanation why masks aren't doing much. Perhaps symptomatic people are going out thinking masks protect people.
-It would also explain why partial lockdowns don't work....the sick can still go out....only way you keep the sick indoors isolated is by shutting down the highways.
