I am going to dress how John Currie would dress for a doctor convention and go get my chip

Hijinks ensue.

It would be awesome if this vaccine also is effective against the common cold coronavirus. I have no idea if it works that way or not.

Might throw in a scope or big round forehead mirror but yes

I'm kind of expecting the "who goes first" stuff with the vaccine to not get followed, anyway. As soon as everyone at the hospital has their vaccine, I'm thinking they will just take appointments on a first come, first serve basis.

Are there any particular reasons you think that?

Distribution isn't centralized. Nobody is going to know when it's their turn and hospitals aren't going to go down some list to contact people, especially when half of the population doesn't even want it. I think that if the hospital has some vaccines on hand and I call to make an appointment, they will let me come in and get one.

In California, the state determines how many chips each county gets and final distribution is managed by county health departments who are in charge of priority. It'll be a while before there's enough chips to get to the point you describe.

The presentation link Silver shared considered infrastructure and mentioned that long term care facilities already have a good system in place to get residents vaccinated, which is another good reason to get them to the front of the line.

I expect California to be a lot more on the ball with prioritizing vaccines than Kansas, fwiw.

well I'll be.

to be fair, I don't think California has a better plan yet. They just haven't gotten there (which seems kinda wild that they can't map it out)

Nailed it.

The bleach one drove the Dilbert guy literally insane with rage trying to explain it away,

While traveling China 18 months ago I was somewhat caught off guard by the level of mask face shield wearing that was prevealent

Now I understand

Or the shittiest air quality in the world next to a coal mine in a 3rd world country (or India)

Current air quality in much of China:  crap

Forecast air quality for much of China:  crap

That was the moment any remaining glimmer of hope for meaningful leadership from the WH on COVID was extinguished.

gottlieb says that the flu mutates constantly and quickly making it hard to stay on top of. so far covid doesn't mutate much and they don't currently believe the vaccine effectiveness is different for the mutations they have seen. maybe we can smallpox this thing out of existence if we can convince enough Qannon and flat earthers to get a shot.

that's not quite right.  i posted this thread earlier that explains the difference very succinctly.

there's also this thread that does a great job talking about the variant identified in southern england.

put me down as voting that there's no way in hell we're going to change our behavior (from pre-2020) when/if the coronavirus becomes a disease manageable with medical interventions.

Like I said, I think enough people will that those who do won't be complete weirdos like they would have been looked at even last February when we had a good idea we were about to get hit with a pandemic.

congratulations to the virus.
