Biden Inherits a Vaccine Supply Unlikely to Grow Before April

Sharon LaFraniere and Noah Weiland, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago

But with 200 million doses pledged for the first quarter of the year, some experts say President Biden’s plan for 100 million shots in 100 days is far too modest.

In two weeks those patients will need their second jab.

The shelf life of the vaccine is another hard limit.

The supply of vaccine injectors can be increased. In a few weeks there is no limit to their numbers.

Biden rolls out ‘full-scale, wartime’ coronavirus strategy, including requiring masks on some planes, trains and buses.

Biden has a plan

An early thing to do is resolve the logistics so all the vaccine goes into arms as nearly fairly as possible.

So far Trump is failing.

The move by dozens of lawyers, including judges and former federal prosecutors, was the latest in a series of calls to censure him.

Rudolph W. Giuliani should have a hearing on specific charges.

I can believe he is guilty and want it proven at the same time.

I know that I can be mistaken.

Start by getting numbers of unvaccinated by age and location.

Why Kamala Harris and ‘Firsts’ Matter, and Where They Fall Short

Claire Cain Miller, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago

It makes a difference when the first member of a group rises to a position of power, political science shows, but it requires “work to sustain it.”

Close the schools.

Halt rent and mortgages.

Wear a mask.

Socially distance.

Charlottesville Inspired Biden to Run. Now It Has a Message for Him.

Astead W. Herndon, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago

The white supremacist rally in 2017 prefigured the rise of right-wing violence in President Trump’s name. Now, as President Biden calls for national unity, residents say it requires accountability first.

The "Right"cannot understand "Black Lives Matter"as a factual statement.

It will grow louder until it is understood.

Frederick Douglass spent his life selling the idea. It remains a mystery to racists.

Unity will not happen until the racists understand.
