Denton County, a county to my north has someone that has their shit together. They organized mass inoculations. They're using the Texas Motor Speedway parking lot. Their goal was 10k people per day. They only were getting 9,800 per day. 25 minutes on property. . . . including the 15 minute observation time. 400 volunteer workers. I haven't heard of anywhere near that amount per day getting vaccinated.
It's good to know that there are some politicians that still want to get the job done.

The population is divided in 12 groups and get vaccinated as follows:
- All citizens who live in a nursing home and want to be vaccinated.
- All citizens who are over 65 years of age and receive both practical help and personal care in their own home and want to be vaccinated.
- All citizens who are 85 years and over and want to be vaccinated.
- Selected staff who have a critical function in the health, elderly and parts of the social sector - and want to be vaccinated. AND Staff who at work can not avoid close contact with possible infected - and want to be vaccinated.
- Selected patients with a particularly increased risk of a serious course of infection with COVID-19 - and who wish to be vaccinated.
For example, patients with widespread cancer, severe lung, heart or liver disease. - Selected relatives who are indispensable for the care and nursing of persons at particularly increased risk of serious progression by infection with COVID-19 - and wish to be vaccinated.
Selected relatives or disability helpers with close contact to a person who cannot receive the vaccine himself - and wants to be vaccinated. - All citizens who are 80-85 years old and want to be vaccinated.
- All citizens who are 75-79 years old and want to be vaccinated.
- All citizens who are 65-74 years old and want to be vaccinated.
- All citizens under the age of 65 who have a health condition or disease that increases the risk of a serious course of infection with COVID-19 - and want to be vaccinated.
- Selected staff who have a responsibility for critical functions in society in the event of major accidents and disasters, for example - and want to be vaccinated.
- All citizens who wish to be vaccinated and who are not pregnant, breastfeeding or under 16 years of age.
I belong in group 4.
For now we get the second shot within the period stipulated by the manufacturers.

-17F over here this morning. 42 days until Spring...according to the calendar anyhow.
Is that the order in which it will be dispensed? If so, how will they know when one group is completely done?
Thank you, the odds are most definitely in my favor. You stay safe as well.

I received my first Moderna Covid shot on Feb 3 and had no side effects. I am scheduled for the second shot on March 3

It was a balmy 16 degrees in southern Illinois today.....I rode the S10 a couple of hours even though the cruise doesn’t work due to the faulty front brake light switch.
Yes it is.
There is a national online booking system.
When it's you turn, you social security number gets "activated" and you can book an appointment to get the vaccine.
You typically have a couple of weeks to book an appointment before the next group of people get their social security number activated.

There was an amusing jousting recently on social media:
#1: Wonder if I'll ever meet anyone whose experience of covid was worse than 'flu...
......
#2: My oxygen saturation level was 58. If my wife hadn't taken me to A&E I would have died within hours. I had blood clots in my lungs and bleeds or clots in my brain. Lost sight in eye, hearing in ear, feeling in toes. Flu?
.....
#1: I haven't met you...
.......
#2: Yes - I was due some good luck at some point this year.

We have a system of tiers that is something similar: https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/covid19/vaccine/
As I understand, they just watch the numbers for how many are showing up much like boarding an airplane. When the quantity of people slows they open the next tier.
By the time everybody gets their second dose, it'll be about time to start again on a "first" shot. Unless the "six months to one year" protection is wrong, it'll take a couple years for it to burn itself out. . . . as long as everybody stays vaccinated. Just like the flu.

I think this has been one of the big sources of delay. Some states/counties seem to be unable to proceed to the next tier if the current group is not done. Trouble is there's a significant percentage in each group for whatever reason, refusing the vaccine. It's very unclear what "done" means. At one site in NY, they ran out of eligible folks that wanted the vaccine, so moved on to those who wanted it from the next group. The state came in, fined them and took that center's remaining supply of vaccine away from them. Can you imagine anything more asinine? So it seems if you've vaccinated say 85% of the currently eligible group (with the remaining 15% refusing) you're stalled without an official go ahead in some locations. There's no ability to adjust to the local situation. one size does not fit all.

Flu deaths have never been measured in anything like the obsessive and fanatical way that covid has. Hence annual flu deaths can only be estimated at about 650,000. However this is likely to have been severely underestimated with deaths being correctly ascribed to severe underlying causes, and flu (or covid viruses like colds) being just ancillary. Covid is appearing on death certificates as a matter of routine, many showing “covid in the vicinity” as a third or fourth causal factor. Similarly, covid is often identified as the principal cause with severe underlying conditions as purely ancillary.
In the UK over 92% “covid deaths” had severe underlying conditions such as heart disease, dementia, chronic respiratory disease, and old age. In fact influenza is an underlying cause in more cases (11%) than where covid is the sole cause of death (less than 8% deaths).
We’ve behaved like lunatic lemmings over covid, spent trillions on ineffective lockdowns and denied treatment to those with every other chronic condition such as cancer, heart disease, organ failures etc etc. All sacrificed on the altar of covid. Somebody, somewhere needs to be held accountable for this travesty
