Goodness, they have only had 9 months to get the rollout planned. The miracle of actual getting the vaccine produced was achieved, and now it is faltering on pure logistics of distribution.
Gee that was the question DeSantis was asked that he chose to go ballistic on......Goodness, they have only had 9 months to get the rollout planned. The miracle of actual getting the vaccine produced was achieved, and now it is faltering on pure logistics of distribution.
I will agree with that the day after my second jabIt only took 9 months to develop a vaccine that usually takes 4 or more years to develop. Even with the distribution issues, we are still ahead of scheduled
Could you imagine the death toll if we had 4 more years of this? All the damage, it would be catastrophic for mankind. We could be wiped out by a bug...... Leaves the bugs in charge?It only took 9 months to develop a vaccine that usually takes 4 or more years to develop. Even with the distribution issues, we are still ahead of scheduled

The gov shut down bars in June when the daily numbers hit 9K.
Interesting article on a survey around the prospects of a travel boom in 2021. Some highlights:
For Disney that 2/3 number is huge if it holds true since that is a big demographic for them. It also skews by age with younger, lower income workers tending to me more impacted by layoffs and have less money saved. Either way, it seems Disney is heavily dependent on an efficient vaccine rollout program to jump start the parks. The longer that gets delayed the less of a summer they have.
- Only 14% of Americans have booked out of state travel so far for 2021
- 50% of those surveyed said they plan to travel out of state within 6 months of vaccination
- 61% said they would not feel comfortable traveling without the shot
- Almost 2/3 of families earning $100K+ Plan to travel compared to only 37% making under $50K
- 68% of those surveyed say they would eat out more after vaccination
2021 American travel boom less likely than previously thought, survey finds
A new poll from Yahoo Finance and The Harris Poll found headwinds to a post-pandemic travel boom.www.yahoo.com
I think what is missing here is perhaps some context. I would need to dig it up but I have heard some interviews that the reality is that there has been work done on coronavirus vaccines in the past 20 years due to SARS in Toronto and MERS in the Middle East. In both cases, work was started but stopped as the virus burned itself out and money was diverted to more pressing issues. The 9 months is still very impressive however there was work done in the past that helped the starting point of this vaccine development. The more important thing to consider is that MONEY is the big driver of what gets done. In both SARS and MERS the money dried up once the threat was gone. With COVID of course it is still a huge threat and shows no sign of stopping or slowing down without a vaccine (unlike both SARS and MERS). Money has been nearly endless since the spring (ie. Operation Warp Speed). It also helps that because COVID is so prolific, affecting the entire global community, that there are dozens of groups working on vaccines. SARS and MERS were quite localized and therefore not a huge interest to a large part of the global or scientific community thus attracting limited research.I will agree with that the day after my second jab
I agree that the vaccine development timeline was a borderline miracle, but vaccines do nothing until they are stuck in someone’s arm. We need to ramp this up before people start to sour on it and decide not to bother getting it.

Plus, the very fact that we are in a raging, out-of-control pandemic, researchers accumulated the numbers they needed to determine efficacy much more quickly.
This seems directionally correct. We have a trip planned for early October that hinges on vaccination. We are in the key target demographic for Disney (4 kids, stay deluxe, eat in their restaurants etc etc). We would go with masks but not without a return of more key restaurants and entertainment. Just rides isn’t enough for us to shell out $5k for a few nights with early parkInteresting article on a survey around the prospects of a travel boom in 2021. Some highlights:
