Joe has 72.8 million doses administered and we are less than 40 days into his administration, by the time he hits 100 days most folks who want a vaccine will be able to get one. Get the vulnerable and elderly vaccinated and the deaths and hospitalizations will drop dramatically, even a single dose of the double dose vaccines offers a lot of protection just a couple of weeks after the first shot. I think most people over 50 will be able to get vaccinated in America by spring, we have our own vaccine roll out and supply issues in Canada, but should be in a similar position by spring too.
Once we get ahead of covid there will be no looking back with new vaccines, modified ones to deal with variants and anti viral therapeutics that will be coming online over the next year. Covid might be with us forever or awhile, but we will have the tools to mitigate and manage it.
