Anyway, I don't have any updates. I'm waiting for the press to report that Joe Biden and the D controlled Congress has virtually ended the pandemic that Trump failed so miserably trying to do it.
But seriously, or sort of of seriously, the MSM narrative is that the Federal Government or R governed state governments (pick one) have failed miserably at the boots on the ground level getting shots into arms. This is true but it's not the Feds that failed. Complaining that the vaccine roll-out is going too slow and at risk folks can't get shots is similar to complaining that not everyone that wanted to could get into a Madonna or Lady Gaga concert when it sold out in the first 5 minutes that ticket sales opened on Stub-Hub. Supply and Demand FFS.
I think it was talent that opined that patience was the order of the day and that we'd get exponential increases in shots in arms as time went by. Correct. Toilet paper. I think after a run, Charmin came through in good time so that everyone could wipe their asses, right? I think there are probably 5, maybe more pharma companies (not including the Chicoms or Ruskies) that already have vaccines on the shelf and are producing more and more every day. The flood gates will open soon enough and of course the FDA will be too slow in approving the J&J, AZ or any of the others on the verge of being proven safe. If FL and Desantis are an indicator of this nationally, well, new vaccination sites are opening up every week, they are being manned by staff that are getting trained as I write this and what the state is receiving is being matched to the resources required to administer the shots. There's the expectation that Talent is spot on so, they are getting prepared.
You could say, well, states should have been more prepared but, it seems to me, they were prepared based on the information they were given about how much vaccine they'd be provided over time. So, let's say FL got 20K doses on day one and those were divided up per Desantis' priorities ...... front line HC workers &1st responders first. The vaccines went to 10 sites each receiving 1000 doses. Hospitals did a very good job of delivering these essentially behind the scenes. Let's say that after 10d at that daily rate 200K first priority people got their shots and that's pretty close to what actually happened. No one was complaining - if the first grouping wanted the vaccine, they got it.
Now comes the rest of the story. Just for the purposes of this discussion, the continuing supply of 20K doses per day were planned for but the state only received 15K doses. Over 65s were next in line. The PH department had to close down a couple of sites for lack of vaccine. The hospital systems that were first identified to start administering vaccine to the over 65 crowd had web sites and phone lines in place to take requests for appointments. Those 10 sites spread out over the state each got around 1500 doses. On the first day of announcing that Jackson Hospital system (Miami-Dade Co.) was taking calls for appointments at two of thier sites, within a minute of that announcement their web site had 10,000 hits and crashed. Well, no shit. You aren't getting into the Madonna concert today. Try again later.
There are stories of people sitting in front of their computers and pressing refresh once per minute for 12h or redialing phone numbers to try to get appointments. How many people doing that would it take to crash the web site or shut down a call center? But, fuck, yeah, Desantis wasn't prepared. I'm preaching to the quire here. Most of you, except Wiz, are smart people but the world of people that made runs on toilet paper in March X100 wanted to be the first fucking person in line for the vaccine. Jeeeze. But Joe and Kamala, Chuck and Nancy are going to fix all of that that Trump fucked up within the first 100d of the Biden presidency. But that would have happened anyway. Exponential growth. If I have some level of empathy for how the Trump administration has been attacked by the left and their MSM mouthpiece it would arise from the unwarranted criticism of those that were involved in Operation Warp Speed.

This popped up on my feed and cracked me up a little to see who posted it. Apparently he is very, very active on Twitter and despises Trump.

Our local hospital was given 750 doses of vaccine for this week to be given to the 1B priority folks. They opened their phone lines at 7:00 am today to start taking appointments. All were taken in less than an hour."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

"Although we have a long, long way to go in solving the internal problem of race facing our nation, I still have faith in the future. We are gradually emerging from the bleak and desolate midnight of injustice into the bright and glittering daybreak of freedom and justice. This remains true because God is forever at work in His universe. I am convinced now more than ever before that God lives. They that stand against Him stand in a tragic and an already declared minority; they that stand with Him stand in the glow of the world’s bright tomorrows.“

No, violence is not the way. Hate is not the way. Bitterness is not the way. We must stand up with love in our hearts, with a lack of bitterness and yet a determination to protest courageously for justice and freedom in this land.

Almost got my 88 year old mother signed up for the vaccine yesterday. Somehow, I managed to hit the sign up page during the 3 nanoseconds that appointments weren't all taken. Filled all the boxes in and double checked the accuracy. Despite having ticked box stating she was retired, when I hit 'Submit", the page returned me to a field with a red error message appearing stating I must fill out the name and address of her employer. As soon as I clicked into that field, the page crashed, blowing me out of the site entirely. Trying to get back to the page was impossible (kept timing out) as probably everyone in Genesee County was trying to reach the site at that time. Now I have to wait another week before attempting to hit the vaccine lottery again.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” - Groucho MarxComment

In addition to sacrificing tons of well-paying union jobs at the alter of green virtue signaling, Biden, on the other end, is attempting to get the $15 minimum wage through in his Covid Relief bill.
I'm a little surprised he's not trying to get UBI and M4A through the Coivd Relief Bill. I guess he truly is one of them centrists.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
