Reality check. The victims are elderly—especially in any kind of congregate living—AND mostly poor and minority essential workers. The individual choice part has mostly already happened. Any change to the threat needs support for those who can't "just stay home" plus vaccination.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1355547589261852682 …

And vaccination has, indeed, now hit supply issues. (Getting appointments still sucks but right now key issue is... no vaccine). My local clinic can easily push 1000 a day, but cancelling whole days. No vaccine. That's it. We have the infrastructure, just not the vaccine.

We're at limits of "just stay home" without an actual plan & support. Same with "mask up." Also note how the more transmissible variants managed to spread in UK during a lockdown? (Incidentally, whatever you think of it, that's how the UK arrived at the delayed dosing strategy).

We're also scheduling people's boosters three weeks into the future, and the unvaccinated are in line after them for their first dose. As I said, we're shutting down functioning vaccine clinics here this week because we have no new supply for first doses.https://twitter.com/maxerickson/status/1356608568154324998 …

Replying to @zeynep
The waiting list in Genesee County, MI is 30,000 people long. My mom is 72, diabetic, congestive heart failure and not even close to scheduling a vaccine.
