      The BioNTech/Pfizer data is out—NEJM & FDA report. I understand this wasn't in the design & the long-term protection from single dose is open question. But given this sharp drop after 14 days after one dose, can someone explain why single dose isn't very very high on the agenda?pic.twitter.com/sxqwACGulz

      Another option: Two doses for high-risk groups. One dose for the rest of the population. Could work well. High-risk close to fully protected. Lower-risk protected enough to suppress virus in combo with other interventions.

      This seems like unnecessary optimization. We know how to reduce transmission and thus deaths absent a vaccine. Why deliberately go for a less optimal solution you might have to redo anyway?

      Because millions of people cannot work from home like many of us can.

      Seems like requiring millions of people to work without pause is the key problem there.

      You're assuming someone is going to be stocking grocery stores and delivering your food anyway even with a "pause".

          No, I'm not. I stocked up so I wouldn't have to rely on going out or delivery.

          And the people who can’t afford to stock up for extend periods of time? We’re just never going to see a European Spring style full lockdown in the US, only a leakier stay at home/pause/whatever you want call it, and should plan accordingly
