CDC Notifies States, Large Cities To Prepare For Vaccine Distribution As Soon As Late October

[Pyotr]

Where do you see it's under 40k? I'm seeing like 41,000 there.

That’s the 7 day average. The daily total is in a following post.

Governor here opened it up to anyone 16 and older with one of 2 dozen broadly defined health conditions, including overweight or a past or present smoker. Opening the floodgates

I hope it's just a blip and not the beginning of doom, but after several weeks of declining case numbers, ours here literally doubled overnight, and the state made no notation that this increase was due to delayed reporting, above average testing numbers, or tech issues. And this is 2 - 3 weeks after restrictions were eased, so... Worse, we eased restrictions but have a terribly slow vaccine rollout. I hope it's a blip, but I have a feeling it could be the beginning of, if not an outright "surge" at least a minor punishment for taking the foot off the brake too soon.

Where do you live? Missouri dumped 80k historical antigen cases a couple days ago....

 

[DLgal]

True. But we are getting to the point were 16 and overs will be vaccinated fairly soon as well.

Good one.

NC cases doubled today over yesterday too.

What state?

What state?

Grumpy28 got it above.

Didn't know u were in NC too. I think they have done great with vaccine rollouts. Over 1 million fully vaccinated and 3 million vaccines given ( last I read).

 

[Jonfw2]

Good one.

Two states have now already opened it up to 16+.

 

[AvidDisReader]

Two states have now already opened it up to 16+.

Do you know where the under 16 vaccine is in the developement? Seems most of the posts I now read are from those who insist we cannot end masks until they are vaccinated/or at least have access to vaccines.

 

[DLgal]

Two states have now already opened it up to 16+.

Yeah, Alaska, which is separated from the rest of the country by a whole other country. It's hardly the breakthrough we need right now. Alaska has a population well under 1 million.

What is the other state?

Now you're just being cynical...and it's Louisiana (with health conditions for now).

No, I'm saying that until heavily populated states begin vaccinating 16+, we won't see any benefit as a country, numbers wise, as it pertains to infection spread.

Texas Rangers have just announced full capacity for opening day.

Excellent quote from Governor Halcomb (Indiana)

“Our optimism is rooted in the data, and the data is undeniable.”

PA has been open for 16+ with health conditions for about month.

 

[Southernmiss]

PA has been open for 16+ with health conditions for about month.

So has Mississippi.

 

[jrmasm]

So has Mississippi.

Alaska sounds like a different situation. Everyone 16+ I believe.

 

[Mango7100]

16+ with medical conditions and 16+ general population are two different groups and cannot really be compared...what states have opened to 16+ without medical conditions?

True but in our state, being overweight or being a smoker or ever have smoked means you are now eligible and has added a whole lot of those between 16 to 65. In our state this covers a huge number of residents.
