If 50% of 65+ folks have at least one shot—and most of it last month? (50 million had at least one shot. It's mostly elderly plus health-care workers. US has about 50 million people over 65). Barring something really unexpected, things should look very different in one month.https://twitter.com/WHCOVIDResponse/status/1365099233171410945 …

The point here is that, yes, things will get much better for many—and sooner than we seem to have internalized—but there will also be very real but different challenges, too, and will play out under a very different political and epidemiological climate.https://twitter.com/iansmcleod/status/1365328779388743681 …

I mean this is basically the US blueprint for dealing with any crisis-- suck it up for the first half until our back is against the wall and then try to rally back we always let things get to a Battle of Midway and then try to turn them around

The US solution to any crisis is produce the shit out of a solution after screwing around for months and years. Cf. Civil War, WWII, Apollo, etc.

The math doesn’t work for a huge new wave By Sunday we’ll have 50M 1st shots given. That’s 25% of the adult pop Whether you think true cases are 2x or 4x recorded (ie 60M - 120M) we’re talking about over 50% of adult pop w/ immunity It’s not over but...no spring ‘20 redux

I feel like we're living a degree of this problem now. Everyone was so focused on defining who is in which phase that there isn't good info on how/when we move between phases

Wait till problems do hit us with their full-force, when they are much harder to address as opposed to timely, early action and planning? Total fingers crossed we won't of course, but these things happen if we act, not wait.
