I read an article* saying some in China who need a certificate to
travel or work get both shots at the same time, one in each arm.
Sure, why not. We don’t need it to actually work, do we?

All the vaccines so far require 2 doses to become effective, and the
numbers I heard were more like 20 million per vaccine, so that's 60
million divided by 2, so 30 million. And that is going to mainly go to
healthcare workers and high risk.
I don't expect things to turn around until March or so, and that's
only if a lot of people get vaccinated.
The next vaccine in the barrel is the Johnson&Johnson one, and that's
supposed to be a single dose.

With the three vaccines ready to roll out 90 million inoculations

reliability to them, would have been the ideal pairing with tracing.
Testing is still being handled poorly on the local level. Our
health department took a ton of money from the feds for testing,
but the drive through they set up only has like a 25 test a day
capacity, what a joke that is, will be interesting to see who all
goes to jail here. CVS has drop off testing, but you have to do it
through the website, and its aweful, my mom couldn't get hers
because she has the wrong color Medicare card, whatever the hell
that means. The wait at the big test center is 4 to 6 hours. Not
complaining about that one, they do massive volume because of all
the jackleggery everywhere else.
Our hospital and many of the clinics have rapid tests but opt not
to use them, instead ship them off.
Lots and lots of prison sentences in the near future.
The good thing about this, is unlike the swine flu utter disaster,
we built out a very robust pandemic response system in a short
period of time. This will be the model future pandemics are
managed by after the post mortem. As long as the grifters spend
decades in prison, the next time the systems will actually be
utilized properly, it will be election proof

They should stop talking about contact tracing as if it's

cases than we have now.
There is the containment phase, mitigation phase, then who let
the dogs out. Guess which phase we're in. At this point,
contact tracing is pretty useless, even testing is of
questionable use. About all you can do if you test positive
is self-isolate and tell your friends, family and coworkers.
Even testing is questionable, mostly the people getting tested
already suspect they have it.
Steve is right that the states didn't ramp up contact tracing
fast enough or successfully, but given the poor cooperation
they got from people, I'm not sure how much it would have
helped. Now about all they can do is tell people to isolate
and tell their contacts. Thank you Capt. Obvious. And like
Steve says, the lag time makes even that pretty useless.
If we were New Zealand, contact tracing would be great. Or
alternatively, a compliant surveillance society like China.

Don’t be too relaxed with it. I have a friend who just
collapsed in church on Sunday from Covid.
Just singing along and his heart stopped. Perfectly healthy,
outside active guy.
They gave him CPR and last I knew he’s still alive in the
hospital.
He was a staunch anti masker.
This is a very serious disease and needs to be treated as such.

criminal defense fund. 50 cents went to the tracers, but they
probably have to kick 30 percent back in taxes.

Takes a lot to die of it now and our state numbers are going

subsiding.

Theres a ruthless watchdog group I had to deal with once,
actually forced a multi county health department to split,
only got one person for embezzlement though. But they know the
FOIA game well enough that the health department had to have
constant deliveries of pallets of paper. There were a lot of
"early retirements"
