I have got something new to report! This was passed on to me by someone actually connected to this new development. Not joking!

Awesome! I hope it works.
I got it about an hour before posting this. Our Internet went out so I had to wait!

Oh I do SO hope I AM wrong! thanks for the useful and encouraging update! I've had my head into poetry this last few weeks and haven't kept up. I am having so much fun discovering poetry I have been cheerful in spite of the pandemic. I mean, heck man, that in itself is almost good medicine!
You are wrong, Philo Sofee. :-) We can all be okay if we just keep doing what we are doing and ride this out until we can get that needle in our collective arms. I would like to know if there is a specific poet you are reading and who that might be? I know you so well, my friend. You binge on things before going on to the next focus of binge. You are like me, Philo Sofee. You are like me. Thank god I have a spirit animal around this place!
I just posted a new essay using the poets I have discovered so far.....

Happy reading! The idea of Dante just blew my mind and I was thrilled to use it along with all the other greats in the essay.

sure subs, but the next lines read,
But to protect older people more at risk, he called on the C.D.C. committee to also integrate the agency’s own “social vulnerability index. The index includes 15 measures derived from the census, such as overcrowded housing, lack of vehicle access and poverty”
The retired white guys I know with plenty of money can easily afford to isolate themselves and should most definitely be lower on the list than essential workers. If that benefits minorities disproportionately, then so be it. In a sense of justice that's after the fact, that's fine with me, but I admit I'm far less interested in calculating what racial groups should get the vaccine first based on perceptions about who has suffered most as a class.

I'm glad the Times wrote an informative article about this problem. That National Review article that you got this from was a childish rant.

That’s what virologists and epidemiologists have to figure out.
Wish Trump had not crippled much of the CDC efforts in his attempt to make himself look good. They need to be fully up to speed.

The White House certainly compromised the ability of the CDC’s ability to communicate science-based information to the general public. But I think the CDC is still doing science, and virologists and epidemiologists around the world are watching this virus like hawks.

Wasn't the authority to do epidemiological tracking handed to Heath and Human Services?

I'm not sure exactly what they did. The new dashboard is reported as a joint HHS-CDC product.
