    This narrative — that the President will beat COVID-19 because he is strong and a fighter — is 200000 plus insults. Those who have died didn’t do so because they were lacking the will. It was because our government was weak in its response and didn’t fight for them.

    Nothing can stop him from working for the American people. RELENTLESS! 🇺🇸

    Can we go back to punctuation debates where emotionally invested people tear each other apart? I feel a pivot coming. I feel like we can again.

    Texas distribution mirrors national standards, but does not have an age category (you’ll see 65 yo as a line in some plans for early waves). Again, Abbott made clear general population late Spring. States should start to post their planning, IMHO.

    Texas Governor says the first shipments of a COVID-19 vaccine should arrive in December. Here is the initial plan and a list of people who will be first-in-line to receive the vaccine in Texas.

    When a teenage boy comes running downstairs, seraches for the remote, yells "what channel is CSPAN again?" and says out loud "there he is" about a guy named Van Langevelde. That's the tweet. #2020

    This is from as they assess market and pretty cautious (good cautious) on timing. First responders/vulnerable through March; general population after, with 4-9 months depending on distribution and hesitancy.

    This is hardest part (not really, finding vaccines was!) but we have to simultaneously overcome vaccine hesitancy and get people on board (I'm confident polling will change on that) while also saying "wait, keep doing what you are doing for a longer." Tricky but doable.

    We need to adjust our communication and people's expectations about what is undoubtedly good news about the vaccine and what's to come in 2021.

    This. A million plus (doses), this. Newsom later said possibly July for general public. California already has sophisticated planning. There is light. We have every reason to be happy. But we have a hell of a storm ahead of us so do your part. Every day. For more days. 🇺🇸

    Governor Gavin Newsom says mass vaccination is a ways off. He says likely after March for general public.

    NEW: Covid-19 cases are surging so quickly that already overwhelmed contact tracers can't reach everybody before they spread the disease to others. A new memo from CDC directs them how to prioritize the most at-risk people.

    When I was very young, the United States provided my family and me a place of refuge. Now, I have been nominated to be the DHS Secretary and oversee the protection of all Americans and those who flee persecution in search of a better life for themselves and their loved ones.

    It’s important to get dates accurate, regardless of who gets credit. At best, May will be at the beginning or middle of only first wave of general pop vaccinations. Plus two shots separated by weeks. At best. So we need people to both get ready and wait. Hope, but no false hope.

    A 3rd vaccine! We have only weeks/months to get our delivery strategies moving. Totally manageable, but complex. writes on the 4 phases: demand, allocation, distribution and verification. (I'll be using the word 'tricky' a lot, but all doable).

    We're excited to announce the publication of our article, "COVID-19 Vaccine To Vaccination: Why Leaders Must Invest In Delivery Strategies Now" in Health Affairs.

    That's 3! This requires just regular refrigeration temp. That is good for delivery purposes. Imagine some of the vaccines requiring cold temps can go to urban areas where capacity, this to rural areas where not. It's a blessing of options. Now stay home.

    BREAKING: AstraZeneca says late-stage trials of its COVID-19 vaccine developed with Oxford University were “highly effective’’ in preventing disease.

    Have you ever wanted to have lunch (virtual or later in the "after" days) with me? Me neither. But it's for Ada's Cafe, a non-profit that helps people with disabilities find employment. Or choose , but then I'd block you.

    That's what I know. All doable. Just complex. Such happy news about vaccines. We can be happy. But until then (for general population think mid-2021), and everything else to help our health workers and our communities. Have a good Sunday. 8/8

    4)Verification: global and national cards (yes, we will carry or have verification proof). Big fan of carrots and sticks approach here, making things prohibitive (air travel) without vaccination. Employers key: condition employment on verification. Unions too. 7/

    Distribution (continued): etc. Not so good on last mile. Public health focus on rural and underserved areas which will be harder. Hope is new guidelines for vaccine administration costs coverage for non-medical personnel (volunteers, etc) to administer shots after training. 6/

    3)Distribution: Global logistics, inventory management, and then the last mile for vaccine and supporting needs (syringes, dry ice, needles). Defense Production Act comes into play; get industry moving 1/20/20. National Guard/military good for bulk, building mass vax clinics 5/

    Allocation (continued): states are segmenting those populations now so that when supply increases, fed distribution will align (unlike H1N1, this will NOT be a population based distribution). 4/
