    Canada has now given enough COVID-19 vaccine doses to cover 1 per cent of the population

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/canada-has-now-given-enough-covid-19-vaccine-doses-to-cover-1-per-cent-of-the-population-1.5264794

    The one-per-cent milestone was achieved 29 days after the first vaccinations were administered in Canada.

    At that pace, it would take 5,800 days to give every Canadians two doses of vaccine, meaning the final shots would be given in 2036.

    For talking a lot about using masks...

    ... the politicans in the US congress, judging by the Live footage now, don't know how to use them

    That's true, but it just started.  I imagine vaccine production will continue to scale up, we'll get larger quantities, and they'll get better at scaling up distribution?

    We seem to be teeter tottering between struggling with supply and then distribution, then supply again.   I imagine this will keep improving.  That being said, to vaccinate everyone by September.   That's 9 months away.   You'd need to do about 4 million people a month?

    i'm not watching right now, but I have seen many wearing them below their noses in the last few sessions.

    Well, if they do jab us all by September in time for floor with DMB, won't it be time for boosters? Moderna provides immunization for a year, how long does Pfizer?

    I need to look into it. I would imagine by 2037 other countries will start letting Americans back into their countries. Or not.

    Well if the cruise industry can figure it out,  perhaps music gig workers need a collective voice?

    The Janssen vaccine is in phase 3 trials now and they are testing a single dose version, which if successful would be a massive benefit. Phase 3 data may come as early as late January.

    3 Million a week from Shoppers alone. That is where we are headed I am hoping ones they iron out all of the distribution problems.

    Pretty much on par with the states that have a similar population as Sweden.

    It does not matter how many doses shoppers can administer if there is a shortage of vaccine.
