We can wait a decade
The Trump people are, of course, failing dismally to get the vaccines out there. No biggy, it’s only 4000 deaths per day.
The Trump administration’s Covid-19 vaccine distribution program needs a major shot in the arm because at the current rate, it would take almost 10 years to inoculate enough Americans to get the pandemic under control, a jarring new NBC News analysis showed Tuesday.
On the upside, by then the population will be a lot smaller.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s leading epidemiologist, told CNN on Tuesday, “Well, we certainly are not at the numbers that we wanted to be at the end of December.”
The Trump administration’s Covid-19 testing czar, Dr. Brett Giroir, the assistant secretary of health and human services for health, told NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday that the reported 2 million shots given already is “an underestimate.”
But he agreed that the government won’t meet the goal of inoculating 20 million people before the New Year.
That’s ok. No hurry. The longer it takes the fewer arms there will be to jab, so it works out well.
It’s a monumental tragedy, and yet there are some people convincing themselves that Trump has done a good job keeping the pandemic under control, and there are others still calling it a hoax.
I thought it was bad here, with people getting blasé about the risk; but it is so much worse in the North (still under British control) and in the rest of the UK. It must be unbearable to be a doctor or a nurse in the US or UK at the moment. My heart goes out to them, and everyone who has lost somebody to this pandemic.
We’re not the numbers the republicans wanted us to be at either. They wanted higher, but they’ll take what they can get and still get their base to vote for them. You look totally depraved at the risk of losing followers though it’s hard to tell where that bar is set. Seems to only be set at the level of each individual follower of the trump regime.
