No emergency for me, but an old crown is coming loose. I can move it with my tongue. I keep watching the case loads in my state and county which are falling. I’m hoping it stays put long enough for...

Not another layer, more of a parallel path. Just add a field for an email address and the notification goes to your friend and also to you for example. One quick call and you’ll know he’s seen it.

Agreed. On the Bloomberg site tonight’s update shows a daily average of almost 940k shots given over the past week. And that included a three day weekend. I’ll be impressed if I see 2m per day.

I’m sure they’ll check everything from location to personnel to needles/ syringes, to possible tampering. We did have that nut job in Wisconsin a couple weeks back. I wonder if the lots get broken...

The margin on the emissions credits is not 3.78%. What costs, if any, do they incur due to the credits? Accountants may play games with allocations and overheads but few costs go away if those...

If the first and second shots are the same, just make sure you get the same manufacturer for the second shot. Sign up like it’s your first shot when you get back to your second state. That may become...

Maybe I’m too optimistic but I don’t think it will be much of a stretch. Bloomberg finally added a graph of daily vaccinations. The last seven days averaged 844k per day and the last two days...

Would the FDA let them do that? I know the flu vaccines are different every year but are they just a different concoction of known components or is it a set of brand new components each time.

I’ve been wondering about this. Is it the states who are holding second doses in reserve? I thought the Feds were doing that. I hope they’re not doing a belt and suspenders thing!

Failing to reallocate is denying vaccines to Americans. If a state has a huge and growing backlog of doses, their folks aren’t getting it anyway. It is just going into inventory. If you do...

This story makes me think that it’s the bureaucracy that’s the bottleneck. Maybe it’s time to reward states that are doing better with additional doses. Take the next shipments from the 10 worst...

What gets me is that the state which is arguably being hit the worst right now has over 1 million unused shots on the shelf and seems to be getting a pass.
