It is a sliding scale fee, the more you are inconvenienced the less you pay. Change the linens during your stay? $$

Thats great, but didn't the previous administration get the whole ball rolling to Make America Safe Again.
Not really. The first vaccine was Pfizer... funded by Germany, and self-funded by Pfizer.
That’s the lowest I’ve seen recently for a percent for herd immunity. To get to that level we would need about 200M people to take the vaccine or 70% of people 12 and up. I think that’s pretty doable and we could have 200M people at least started on the vaccine by the end of April.
I think this makes the prospects of a maskless summer more favorable. Again factors like weather and delays will happen, this rollout won't be perfect, but as long as we don't get another Texas situation, summer 2021 is going to be WILD.
Well, I own stock, so either way.
Who knows on herd immunity percentages. I just feel like every time someone talks about it the percent goes up 5 or 10% more. This guy is an epidemiologist who works for the CDC and his quote was not what he thinks but what his agency believes. That’s better than just one guy as an outlier. Who knows what the number really needs to be.

The consensus seems to be 60-90 percent of the population. Not every single US citizen but also not a majority. Seems to be an outright majority of the population is the threshold. Whether that's 60 or 75 or 90 percent is all over the place. But more than half of the population is a acceptable bet
It’s going to be next to impossible to get to more than 70% of the population immune as long as kids under 12 aren’t eligible. 70% means 230M vaccinated. There are 280M Americans 12+. That means 82% of those eligible would need to take the vaccine. I don’t see us getting much higher than that and even that would be a small miracle. If we can go as low as 60% of the total population then you need 200M instead 230M vaccinated and that’s only about 71% of those eligible which happens to be the number in the most recent poll who say they will get the vaccine. This assumes that those who are naturally immune from infection but haven’t been vaccinated are offset by those who took the vaccine but it didn’t work. I call it a wash to make the math easier but we have no idea how many people who don’t get the vaccine will be naturally immune from infection. I am also assuming kids 12-17 get approved in the next few months.
Nobody knows but many guess not until we have data from the ongoing US trial. They called me in Nov or Dec to enroll but I declined since I am with Pfizer-BioNTech. It will be a while.
And the point here? It’s all good until its 1% or .1%, maybe .01% each day? Anything less than 30,000 a day, we should be wide open no mitigation? Is that your number?

good"The CVS Pharmacy chain is vaccinating Florida teachers under age 50, circumventing state orders that continue to limit coronavirus inoculations to those over that age.
The chain also began vaccinating day care and preschool teachers Wednesday, even though Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has not yet opened the vaccination program to them. CVS is giving inoculations in two dozen cities across the state.
CVS said it is following Biden administration guidelines released this week, which are broader for educators than Florida’s. For teachers, Florida limits the vaccine to classroom teachers 50 and older who work in kindergarten through 12th grade. The federal guidelines allow day care workers, preschool teachers and educators in elementary, middle and high schools to be vaccinated with no age limit.
“We’ve aligned with updated Federal Retail Pharmacy Program guidelines by making appointments available to pre-K through 12 educators and staff and childcare workers in all 17 states where we currently offer COVID-19 vaccines,” the Rhode Island-based company said in a statement."

Can we give people discounts on big screen TVs, maybe game consoles? People go nuts at Black Friday sales. We need that energy.
