    Those poor kids, just brutal. If the family has a GoFundMe page or something similar I would like the information.

    @dignin Terrible, awful and just painful. I can't even fathom how difficult that must be. My sincerest condolences to you and my heart goes out to the family.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Let's see:

    "Protect the Obese Covid Strategy" = figuring out what to do with 42% of the American population. What does "protecting" them look like? 

    "Protect the Elderly Covid Strategy" = figuring out what to do with another 70 million Americans. What does "protecting" them look like?

    Nobody with such a strategy has explained what to do with about 150 million people while the other 150+million people pretend CoVid doesn't exist.

    I think that plan got lost with health care reform and a few other "plans" that never materialized considering where those opinions originated from. Never a solution, but always a criticism.

    I am really curious how things shape out with restrictions in the next couple of months in the US when they are still looking to vaccinate adults but no one else wants to get vaccinated. Summer months will be favorable case wise but what happens during the next flu season as well?

    Wow that is just awful. My deepest sympathies to your family. Hoping for a positive outcome for those boys' father.

    Oh, there was definitely a solution in there for the person suggesting the plan, it was a solution that involved that person not being inconvenienced for others.

    I doubt we make 70% on vaccinations. Either way, I think end of May seems like when most will have had their opportunity that want it so by July 4 restrictions are basically do what works for you.

    We are offering vaccine clinics at my work next week and then 3 weeks later for 2nd dose. I'm really curious to see how many people come in. We can serve up to 2100.

    Big, beautiful plans. The best plans ever. Plans so great that no one has ever seen nor heard of them before. Big, beautiful, great plans. And they're free. No one has ever contemplated such amazing plans.

    I think this will be a regional/state to state issue also, with some places exceeding the 70% and others coming nowhere close.
    For example, here in MA, with a population a little short of 7 Million, we've administered 5.4Million doses as of today with 2.1Mil fully vaxxed.
    I assume we'll hit 70% in this state no problem.
    But I am sure some places will fall well short, likely below 50%.
    So how do states then handle interstate travel and commerce? (let alone the larger issue of international travel where much of the world is well behind the US and UK in vaccination rates)
    This weekend we rock Portland
