Florida does lead the nation in the number of 65 and over vaccinated

When did they start with the over 65 crowd. It was only the
beginning of
last week here.

It was from the start in FL.Â* Once the front line was done our governor
said over 65.

That's why my brother in Florida, who is 80, can't get his shot yet,
even though he's more vulnerable than some 66-year old chippie.

It would have been better to start with 75 or 80 and over, or even 90
(though maybe there aren't enough of them to warrant a separate
section.) .

Same reason a 64 year old with a heart condition can't bet it because
a fairly healthy 81 year old got it instead.Â* How about a 45 year old
with asthma?

No evidence that asthma increases the risk of the virus killing you.
It was just an example but CDC is not sure

COVID-19 is a new disease. Currently there are limited data and
information about the impact of many underlying medical conditions on
the risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Based on what we know at this
time, adults of any age with the following conditions might be at an
increased risk for severe illness from the virus that causes COVID-19:

Asthma (moderate-to-severe)

Maybe we should have doctors going door to door and assess everyone's
health and assign them a priority number.

Not feasible.

Of course not so you draw a line and work with it.
