No man, it's looking up

Most of the vulnerable vaccinated in less than 3 months

Hockey starting next week

For me the great thing about drinking in the golf off season is it helps me forget the previous golf season....

Rick Hillier said they can do 30K vaccines a day and Ontario is only getting 10K

What's your point? That you can do vaccination logistics better? How?

Trudeau Has done a terrible job securing vaccines for Canada

USA has millions and we struggle for scraps

Dr. Jennifer Kwan does a good job of posting real data on her twitter feed, and yesterday she's started tracking a forecast for when we get to herd immunity in Ontario based on vaccination rates:

EDITED OUT LINK

A few weeks from now this will be very interesting data and a good thing to look at regularly.

It currently shows 2026 (!!!), but of course the ramp up in vaccination rates is just starting -- the column titled "Daily Vaccinations (7 day average)" is key.

The projection to herd immunity is freaking useless and borderlines on disinformation (i know thats not the inent here). Would be better to not post it at all imo as bad faith actors will take it and run with it.

Palm Beach County will supposedly be vaccinating gen pop in Spring 2020.

I'm really hoping that Biden nationalizes the shit out of this process. Private industry should be pumping out vaccines and equipment 24/7 and the National Guard should be handling delivery/administration.

Ford just had a press conference begging for more vaccines

Trudeau has done an abysmal job

This is what Ford wants you to believe. Ontario still has 50% of its total received vaccines in freezers.

It's useless at the moment, but when the 7 day average vaccination rate stabilizes and hits its peak it will become relevant.

It’s encouraging to see the daily vaccination rate increasing

Yah, Ford will be able to make that argument by Feb/March, but he can't make it now.

I mean, in theory those are needed for 2nd doses, but presumably they can assume more are coming and use them for first doses, i would think there's a delivery schedule for planing purposes that we don't have access to.

Right, so why include it now?

Fair enough. I'll edit my link out.

Dr. Kwan is a Twitter hero though. Her data is for the other wonks but yah.

I appreciated the link and info, thanks!

So earlier it seemed like our hospital was holding back vaccines for peoples 2nd dose. Now they are vaccinating as many people as possible and were told to trust the supply chain.

Im guessing this is straight from Ford's government so they can up the daily numbers

It makes sense to fill as many arms as possible now. If you can trust the supply line, it’s better to protect more people now. There is some immunity after 2 weeks (still requires 2nd dose for peak efficacy). So since it’s being administered to people most likely to die, or to be caring for someone with covid, it makes sense to give as many people the 1st dose as possible.

(so I don’t think its government optics driven)

ya for sure if the supply line Is good then this makes sense. I don't have enough information about the supply line to know. Hopefully though they don't miss the 21 day window for the next shot then its a different story
