Biden said he wants 100 million doses in 100 days. Does that include pre-Jan-20 doses?
depends if you ask a democrat or a republican
If I were in the Trump administration, I'd make sure that counter gets bumped down to zero the morning of the 20th.
i wonder... does that administered doses total double in a week or two when the second dose is administered to those 556k? is that how this tracker works? i couldn't find an explanation at the link; i suppose time will tell.
We're running into a similar problem that we have with positivity rate. Do you use total tests administered as the denominator or total individuals tested?
i mean, i guess you have to go with total tests administered if the 2.8 million number is truly all doses distributed. otherwise the math doesn't work.

so right now, it's kinda wonky - no one is fully immunized. but once we're in stride, just divide the total tests administered by two to get an idea of how many individuals are/will soon be immunized.
Yes, by my understanding of the system, each second dose counts as a dose distributed and a dose administered.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Governor Cooper just approved take out and delivery cocktail orders. Not sure how that will work as far as drunk driving and underage ordering.

Yeah I guess. It just feels like it would be easy for someone to take advantage of it.

One of the only good things Governor Abbott has done in the pandemic here in TX is loosened beer-to-go laws for bars and breweries. That genie is not going back in the bottle and it shouldn't.

seriously though everyone wants to be all anal about social distancing and engage in mask-shaming but then walk around in public with cocktails

what's wrong with this picture?

It sounds like a lot of people died unnecessarily due to general fear and healthcare workers response to that.

Fear and uncertainty to be fair. The idea that putting a patient on a vent is the only suefire-ish way to prevent viral spread sounds like a bit of a facilities issue too.

I'm OK with the Presidential line of succession getting the vaccine for the continuity of Government, but Rubio and Graham can suck a dick. They're easily replaced by their states' Governors.

There are a slew of succession rules should Pres and/or VP die. They should all just get in line. The role is important not the role holder.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

And if they refused they'd be accused of being anti-vaxxers, so they can't win. It's beyond petty to call them out for this, but cool tweet.

Idk, it's an insignificant amount of vaccines in the grand scheme and if it signals to skeptical people that it's okay to get the vaccine I'm good with it.

Why do they all have gross white arms? Doesn't Rubio live in Florida?
