I am in NJ and my wife became eligible yesterday, she scheduled her appointment today, and has one on Thursday. Maybe it's different in other parts of the state.

I wonder that, too. My husband got his second dose nearly three weeks ago. When he got the email saying he was eligible, he was able to schedule an appointment two days later at one of the mega sites down here.

There is definitely a huge variance within the states. I live 90 miles north of NYC and have been having difficulty finding appointments in my area. No problem getting them further upstate though.

52% of parents say they will immediately get their children vaccinated once a vaccine becomes available. I think this is a wonderful starting point. The number will surely move up as their parents are the ones currently becoming eligible, so I would expect more to come over to team-vaxx once they survive their shots.

This is a much higher percentage than I expected. We will land with at least 70% of us vaccinated. When we add that to natural immunity among the remainder, herd immunity should be possible.

There's a ton of variance within the states. I've heard from other people in Ohio that appointments are still rare, but I just peeked at four sites near and there's over 50 appointments available for this week. Including seven available today. I wouldn't be surprised if states started shifting away from sending doses based on population and started focusing on the demand.

Ohio here too. Locally it's been a PITA and have spent hours at a time looking for someone, but if I go within an hour drive od CBus it magically all opens. So really hard in central Ohio. Easy in quite a few spots.

Trump says every American can get a coronavirus vaccine by April, but health experts say that's not likely | CNN

President Trump claimed Friday there will be enough Covid-19 vaccines for every American by April -- a claim that doesn't match any timeline given by the federal government's health agencies, private researchers or even the companies making the vaccines.

CNN, WaPo called out for casting doubt on Trump's April timeline for vaccines

President Biden is set to announce all U.S. adults will be eligible for coronavirus vaccines by April 19, although multiple media outlets cast doubt on former President Donald Trump's claim last year there would be enough vaccines for adults by April.

45 said this before any vaccine results were available, not enough vaccines had been purchased from the ones we will end up using to achieve this, and there was no game plan for manufacture or administration of vaccine at the required level. He was talking out his you-know-what and happened to guess a correct month. I could pull up other deadlines he made up but would rather avoid that rabbit hole. I give him credit for accelerating vaccine development and that’s about it. He threw money at a problem to our benefit.

So in other words he was still right.

I don't recall him throwing out 100 guesses, he was right. You can use your mental gymnastics to try not to admit it but in the end he was right.

I remember a lot of blathering about moving timelines when the virus would disappear magically and promises about things that would happen by Election Day. You have selective hearing/reading of tweets, it would seem. I am continually astonished by his supporters’ obsession with proving that the man was always correct. It’s bizarre. No one is always correct. I even complimented him on OWS but it is never enough for his supporters unless you say, “everything he ever did was perfect.”

Probably because he believes that.

“We will deliver 100 million doses of a safe vaccine before the end of the year, and maybe quite a bit sooner than that,” Trump said at a rally Oct. 26.
