Re: LA County vaccination efforts outrun supply chain - 30 days ago

The logistics and infrastructure is beginning to catch up with the need, but the demand for vaccine is pent-up. It's still going to take months to ramp up production of vaccines to a level that will fulfill the need. And that's just here on our little island. See toilet paper, Clorox wipes… At least the vaccines are a little more difficult to hoard - at least at the individual level.

When we get past the notion that this work has greater value than that work, and this life is worth more than that life we'll have made a major breakthrough. But don't hold your breath.
