Let Them Play CA

If Chick Fil A was running the vaccine program we'd be done by now, or close to done...ya know Sundays and all.

you have to admire the efficiency of their operations and in the manner in which they deliver their service. Pair them with In n Out to cover Sundays and we'd be done in no time. Leave it to little Bezos to solve the supply chain issues..

Based on early outbreaks, prisoners and prison guards should be early, for the same reason that meat packing plant workers should be early. Certain places breed covid, and they should be a high priority.

EOTL, pour yourself a nice cup of chamomile tea, and give up on the attempts at sarcasm. It is neither funny nor persuasive.

After health care workers there are 3 ways to do it: by most vulnerable (e.g. aged, those with conditions), by those that spread it the most (in which case college kids are up first too and anyone not in a tight lockdown) or by most meritorious. The first is relatively easy to police (everyone has ID, or if they don't it's hard for a 30 year old to pass as 75 and you can adjust by tier if you have surplus vaccine). The first also is relatively easy to organize, to get out info and will knock the death rate down for everyone given how vulnerable the aged are. The second can't fly because it will cause people who were careful (like my inlaws) to complain why are they being punished if they've been locked in the house for a year and you are vaccinating the worst behaved, least vulnerable people out there like college students. The third has the problem that every group will lobby they are meritorious: racial groups, professions (teachers v. police officers v. correctional officers v. essential workers), the rich and powerful. The third also has the problem that once you are passed confined spaces like correctional facilities and nursing home workers, it get's really hard to verify their employment status and to get the word out that x is eligible on such date, but not why....we've seen in this in the f'ed up reservation system in VC already.

Agree- but my answer is going to be that the state needs to figure out how to vaccinate them in parallel. If we're so concerned with optics, (which is what a lot of all this really is,) it looks awful to prioritize prisons over general population.

I think it is awful to prioritize. Our government can barely plan delivery of the vaccine to high risk populations in a linear fashion. Now other populations jump on board? It's ludicrous. Parallel planning and execution is not in the wheel house of our governments.

Yup this is the problem if you try to do it all 3 ways of distributing. There's not enough and you are guaranteed to f it up. VC is having a hard enough time doing the very broad definition of medical worker (which is not just people working front line ERS but doctors and dentists with private practices), and 75+ right now. The were originally going to do 65+ but that load of demand just caused their servers to crash so they had to break up this phase into further sub tiers.

You are correct. It should be a total free for all. Definitely better to let rich people get vaccinated first.

Age and zip codes of highest transmission?

You crack me up - don't you see how little sense you make? Have you ever heard the song by Adam Sandler ->> "They're all gonna laugh at you"

Your choice though, to be a slave to the burokrat...maybe slave is a little bit strong for a social justice warrior like yourself. Enforced dependency on government.
 
Does anyone know if Newsom is announcing any changes to the youth sports criteria's this week. I heard that Calsouth is waiting for some type of announcement to determine if they start the season in March

Ive heard that they will relax the rules or allow each county to make a decision on youth sports regardless of the color tiers.

Newsom meet with a coalition of coaches recently who urged him to remove tiers for youth sports and restart play. With the stay at home lifted return to conditioning can at least resume and the coaches didn't get any promises from the governor after meeting with him twice besides future dialogue & discussion at later dates.

I have some great news!!!!! We are entering the peak Flu season and the CDC said only 23 cases of flu nationwide were reported last week! Never in history has the common flu just up and left on this scale. Those masks must have really scared the flu virus away. Now, just that pesky CoVid that somehow has figured out how to make an Iron Man competition out of our masks. Perhaps if we wear, double, triple or even 10 masks at once, CoVid will pack it's bags and leave just like the flu did!

Or wait, I forgot about that more virulent form CoVid, complete with excavators to dig through your mask. Not sure how we'll scare that strain away.

Oh, and here is the link to the latest flu numbers:
