Well darn...looks like I would need to pay for access to this little gem. Oh well, someone will come up with this, for free...I hope. I know it is just a guess, anyway.
Based on your risk profile, we believe you’re in line behind 135.7 million people across the United States.When it comes to California, we think you’re behind 14.3 million others who are at higher risk in your state.And in San Diego County, you’re behind 1.1 million others.If the line in California was represented by about 100 people, this is where you’d be standing:

1.7M healthcare workers642k in nursing homes201k first responders9.8M with health risksYou868k other elderly1.1M essential workers686k teachers98k homeless146k prisoners5.5M young adults8.9M children1.4M other essential workers8.2M othersHow quickly we’ll move through this line is still an open question. While millions of health care workers in the country could be vaccinated this month, the most prominent vaccine candidates require an ultracold distribution chain that can’t yet reach every American. States also need to procure even more personal protective equipment and set up socially distanced mass-vaccination sites amid a pandemic that could slow everything down.“It’s incredible that we have vaccines with high levels of initial efficacy in such a short period of time,” said Dr. Sema Sgaier, a co-founder and the executive director of the Surgo Foundation.“But the vaccine is not going to be a silver bullet for a while,” she added.The order outlined above is one possibility, combining proposals by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention alongside a fuller proposal by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. The final order is not yet determined and depends on successful vaccines being adequately tested for every group. States could still set their priorities, but they will most likely follow the final C.D.C. recommendations.
hmmm...I'm surprised I'm in front of teachers.Anyway as a healthy individual, I'm more than willing to let anyone on the forum get in front of me.
People should keep on the ball in terms of keeping safe. With pandemic fatigue and the good news about vaccines, it's easy enough to let up thinking it's over. This won't be over for at least months. The numbers public health officials were using to try to scare us into compliance are here. We are basically at 200,000 new cases a day and 3,000 deaths a day. The Thanksgiving spike isn't even reflected in those numbers yet. This is no time to ease up on precautions.Here in San Diego, one of the largest hospital groups said yesterday that their covid hospitalizations are up 600% in a month. We are on self imposed lockdown again. It's not like we really ever let up that much but we are back into April-May lockdown mode. I took the last couple of weeks to stock up on supplies. Getting a smog test for the car was my last outing a few days ago. I don't plan on leaving the house at all for at least a month. Longer if necessary.
Selfishly thinking about SDCC, won’t everything that pertains to the event come down to what is happening in California? I mean the rest of the country can have things under control (or not), but won’t it be whether the powers that be (the Governor?) deems it safe for a gathering as large as ours? Asking for 120,000 friends.
When Pfizer Inc. said last month it expects to ship half the Covid-19 vaccines it had originally planned for this year, the decision highlighted the challenges drug makers face in rapidly building supply chains to meet the high demand.“Scaling up the raw material supply chain took longer than expected,” a company spokeswoman said. “And it’s important to highlight that the outcome of the clinical trial was somewhat later than the initial projection.”Pfizer and Germany-based partner BioNTech SE had hoped to roll out 100 million vaccines world-wide by the end of this year, a plan that has now been reduced to 50 million.Pfizer still expects to roll out more than a billion doses in 2021 as originally planned.
It’s my understanding that Pfizer knew this months ago. It changes nothing in terms of what they announced about the number of doses they intend to provide and when. At worst, aren’t they just saying we hoped to produce even more, but because of an abundance of caution this is what we decided weeks ago we would do? It’s not really a change from the previously announced plan. It makes for a great headline for news outlets though and unnecessarily makes people who are in dire need of hope more anxious, thinking that the number of doses were going to be cut in half. To be clear, I’m not finding fault with you perc2100 but with the way some news organizations reported it.
You're right; I was thinking they had originally announced the 100 million and then had to announce only half that now. I went back and re-read their initial release a month and change ago and it does indeed say they'll ship the 50 million. This does seem like at best an article discussing initial plans, and at worst a poorly-written article that should at least clarify that this changes absolutely nothing about their announced plans.Thanks for pointing this out and bringing more clarity to an article than professional news writers/reporters did!!
