Question of the Week: When a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, will you get it?

What is important right now is how to reduce the deaths, until we have a majorly of people vaccinated. Once we get a reduction in case in the USA because of the vaccine and doing the right thing such as wearing mask, we must look at the rest of the world. At that time we will once again be traveling to other place and they will coming to the USA which makes it important that they are also protected.

Once January 20,2021 comes, Trump will have no say so in how we address COvid19. If the plan is to make sure the country that has the most deaths' get the vaccine first, the USA will be first in line.

The country's COVID-19 death toll has reached 246,224 total as of Monday. The average daily death count rose on a sharper incline from late October, after declining from early August.

The U.S. has the seventh-highest number of deaths per capita (100,000 people) among the 20 countries currently worst affected by COVID-19 as of Sunday. America's current per capita death rate is higher than that of Iran, France, Germany and Italy, the former epicenter of the outbreak in Europe.

"What is important right now is how to reduce the deaths..." Trump's plan is to inoculate those in the high risk group and health care providers. That will reduce the deaths. Zeke Emanuel would prefer to send the vaccines overseas.[rolleyes]

What is important right now is how to reduce the deaths, until we have a majorly of people vaccinated.

If only 1,000 a die a day from Corona19, from now until Trump leaves office on January 20, 61,000 more people will have died in the USA.

But 1,000 deaths a day is on the low side for the number estimated to die. The majority of people will not be vaccinated until about mid April, if all goes well, and some will never get vaccinated.

That's why it is important to reduce the deaths.

What you are saying is Trump has no plan other then wait until a vaccine is avable to all

No, Jim, that's NOT what I posted at all. There are 20 million doses available. They will be used for the most vulnerable and health care providers. THAT'S WHAT I POSTED!!!! Can't you read?

That's Trump whole plan. Trump is not going to worry about the others that will die.

Once we start vaccinating people, it will take almost a month for the first person to complete the need requirements'. CDC director said vaccines were likely to reach the general public around mid-2021, an assessment in line with most experts.

Pfizer announced that people will need two doses, three weeks apart, and probably booster shots too.

Pfizer said it would distribute the two-shot vaccine independently of the US government, from distribution centers in Michigan and Belgium. Its shots require storage at -94 degrees Fahrenheit, necessitating transport in dry ice and storage in specialized "ultra low temperature" refrigerators. Distribution is going to be the hardest part to archive. Training will be required of those that will be giving the shots, as most do not have experience with vaccine's that are very cold.

Dr. Nissola Probably the biggest misconception about the coronavirus vaccines is that they are silver bullets and will immediately change the dynamics of the pandemic. We're going to be wearing masks for a while. I'm expecting this time next year maybe we'll be at a point where we can start to relax the mask-wearing and social distancing. But that's not even a guarantee.

"That's Trump whole plan. Trump is not going to worry about the others that will die." NO, Jim.

The good thing is tRUMP will only be in the white house until Janauary20,2021 at High Noon.

The bad news is that tRUMP has no plan to stop the deaths' that will happen.

Scott Atlas is one of tRUMPS men. He has no regarded for anyone over 65, and that we may have many years left. In the United States, an elderly person is defined as someone who has reached the chronological age of 65 years old. I'm surprised that he is not saying that the elderly should not be vaccinate, because this is our final year. Why waste vaccine on the over 65 year old crowd.. That you and I, Carlos.

"This kind of isolation is one of the unspoken tragedies of the elderly, who are now being told 'don't see your family at Thanksgiving,' " Atlas said. "For many people, this is their final Thanksgiving believe it or not."

Atlas, who is not an infectious disease expert, drew a rebuke on Monday night from Stanford University, where he serves as a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.

"We support using masks, social distancing, and conducting surveillance and diagnostic testing. We also believe in the importance of strictly following the guidance of local and state health authorities," the university said in a statement.

"Dr. Atlas has expressed views that are inconsistent with the university's approach in response to the pandemic," the university added. "Dr. Atlas's statements reflect his personal views, not those of the Hoover Institution or the university."

They have check over the moving trunks to make sure that they will be ready to move tRUMP out of the White House, on January 20, 2021 at High Noon.

More words for Jim to eat.....

Yes, it takes two shots to be effective. Just like whiskey.
