Wealthy couple chartered a plane to the Yukon, took vaccines doses meant for Indigenous elders, authorities said
It may not be florida, and it might be only two people, but they got
their first shot. ;-) They didn't do the required quarantine and they lied to get their shot. https://www.adn.com/nation-world/202...horities-said/ Similar https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...aterina-baker/ |

I got a call at 5:30 PM today, asking if I could come in earlier than my 9PM appointment for my first shot. I had it in my arm by 6:15. My second appointment is for Feb 23. All legally done without difficulty. How nice it is to live in a well run Democratic state. |

The roll out is a disaster there, websites don't work, phones don't get answered despite remaining on the line for four hours. And the over arching message is, "we don't have enough vaccine"! Gee, really? It's been clear for months that supply won't be up to demand for probably at least 6 months. Cuomo, de Blasio, geniuses in charge. They spend more time arguing with each other than anything else. Oh, Cuomo had time to write a book about how to manage Covid in the middle of this. Maybe if last summer he had spent that time figuring out a uniform approach, a website that works, etc they wouldn't be in chaos now. |

Here in Florida people are complaining they had to hold on the phone or keep dialing. Think about it. One Florida county has over 200,000 eligible people. Most are calling the minute it goes active. Even if half try, it is 100,000 people. How big of a phone system do you have to build to handle 100,000 calls in the first few hours? How many staff do you need to answer? From interviews on the news it seems like most called immediately or in the first couple of hours. If it was equally spread over 4 hours that is 25,000 calls per hour. At 2 minutes per call that is 50,000 minutes of phone time per hour. So, you need about 800 operators to answer them. My county has about half that but went to a different system where you register and they call you when doses are available. We can't all be first n line. |

Is that just too much for a Repub state to handle? All my communication to arrange my shot yesterday was on the internet. Sign into my UW medical system patient page. Click to make an appointment. Click on the covid vaccine box. Look at the displayed calendar of available places and click my choice. Look at the available dates/times and click my choice. Doing this on the phone seems pretty silly. Save the phone access for those without internet. |

The choke point is vaccine availability. They can't make it fast enough There is plenty of infrastructure already in place for distribution and injection, using pharmacies. When they get the supply problems worked out I will go down to Publix and get my shot while buying groceries ... just like the flu shot. I am not getting in this Black Friday fiasco. I wouldn't camp out in the rain for a chance to get a $99 PS/5 either. |

Even if half try, it is 100,000 people. So they should have started taking reservations back in Sept. This week, people with last names beginning with A-F are encouraged to register. We all knew this was coming and it's not rocket science. The America that put a man on the moon, that won WWII, that crushed the USSR, has fallen badly and can't get up.

I just missed that, I'm 74, 10 days ago. 1C, over 65 They started with 1B 9 days ago and 1C became eligible 2 days ago, but plainly they coudln't do most of 1B in one week. So eligibility isn't very important. Governor Hogand said something about that this morning, but the Emergency Alert System Test came on and overrode it. I suppose he said, Wait. My brother is an 80-year old doctor, though he doesn't see patients. He went to a Publix in Florida and they told him he was eligible, come back in two weeks. Hey, you Floria guys. Is there a way my brother can get his shots sooner now that he's 80 years old? Maybe the Okefenokee Swamp has a clinic with vaccine that no one can get to?

On Tue, 26 Jan 2021 21:42:58 -0800, Bob F posted for all of us to digest... I got a call at 5:30 PM today, asking if I could come in earlier than my 9PM appointment for my first shot. I had it in my arm by 6:15. My second appointment is for Feb 23. All legally done without difficulty. How nice it is to live in a well run Democratic state. That is riding on the coattails from a Repub President using Warp Speed. The new president is retracting his earlier blather. In our Demo state we won't be seeing the vax until March or later. In fact there isn't enough to give the second shot to initial victims. Whatta you going to do Biden/Wolfe ? Now back to a.h.r! -- Tekkie |
