We’re glad you are enjoying PBN.
If we had focused on age 65 and older from the start, we would have had 1/3rd of that population vaccinated by now and in 2 months would be complete with the highest risk population even at the snail pace RI has been vaccinating. if 85% of deaths are in that age group you’d be saving about 10 lives a day. Over 3 months that’s 900 lives saved. Begin mass vaccinations of those over 65 now! Easiest to verify without the political headache of dealing with competing “essential” workforces – all of which I’m sure will articulate very well why they should be head of the line… but focusing on oldest first is indisputable and easy to understand by all. It is fair and equitable and consistent with CDC guidelines.
