More all time worsts on the covid front. Most cases, most deaths.
One of the depressing facts is that while Israel has vaccinated 20% of the population and at least another 5% of the nation has had COVID...no sign of a decline in new chases there. Right up a vertical wall.
The rest of the world is at 2% of the population vaccinated or less. Vaccines will take a long time to make a large difference, clearly.
Biden is talking about setting up tents in big cities...let's hope he can get that done.
We all know that every country is going to have to say 'if you are over 65, show up and you will get jabbed, no questions asked.' It's just a matter of waiting until people get angered by slow rollouts because of careful targeting small segments of the population
We just allowed cavvinations for 65+ today. However, I was trying to help a neighbor get an appointment and the registration website told you that you were ineligible when you put in your age. I haven't tried today, but apparently they didn't even open up the registration process for 65+ today. What a cluster.
At least we're not NY though.
The Times recently did have a good piece on the issues with rollout.
