Sorry about that, I only checked this week's corona thread before posting. I don't pay close attention to the weekly covid threads because they tend to be full of shortform journalism with a handful of statistics that don't amount to much of anything that's actionable. Considering my lack of interaction with those threads, maybe I shouldn't have posted this.

Regarding the vccine rollout in general:
My doctor went on a 20 minute rant about how badly the vaccine rollout is being botched. The 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B risk classification system doesn't really accomplish much other than drastically increasing the complexity of rollout.
Basing it on geographic location, particularily as a function of population density would have been far more effective. The 10,000 people in a rural county don't need the vaccinne nearly as quickly as a county of the same size with 200,000 residents.
That way, you're getting clusters of herd immunity rather than this randomly low distribution density which will require far higher numbers of vaccinations to hit that immunity threshold.
Thought this article covered a lot of ground without wasting too much time and offered a nice perspective on the vaccine rollout.
There is so much common sense in this article it's actually enraging.
I'm at a loss for words.
I posted a summary last week in the weekly topic, but it's a good article so it seems fine to be top-level too.
