Covid Vaccine Distribution Chaos in FL?

January 20, 2021 Leave a comment

The Publix supermarket pharmacies have gotten in the business of giving vaccines and the State of Florida has limited vaccine distribution to some hospitals, especially Baptist Health, which recently cancelled a large number of vaccination appointments.

Hopefully, this does not involve doses of vaccines going to friends of the Governor first and not widely and evenly distributed to major centers of large-scale efficient vaccination.

We look forward to the Federal government taking perhaps a heavier hand in stimulating states to find better, more rapid ways of distribution, including financing Federal vaccination centers. These could be conditions for getting more doses.

COVID RESPONSE AND MANAGEMENT IS NOW IN CRISIS: The Nation and Florida

January 20, 2021 Leave a comment

The Governor of Florida says that all he needs is more vaccine. Of course, the outgoing Federal government failed to supply, organize, distribute and create mechanisms for large-scale vaccination in a short time. The Governor of Florida has tried to go his own way and we don’t know how much vaccine is distributed fairly: it seems to have been made up all the way by Governor DeSantis.

FL HAS UK COVID VARIANT

January 19, 2021 Leave a comment

Even with relatively scant monitoring for evolved strains of the virus, known as “variants,” federal officials say Florida now leads the country in known cases of the so-called “U.K. variant,” or B.1.1.7, with 46, according to new data released Monday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s up from 22 known cases last week. California has the next highest number, with 40 known cases.

@mayordaniella @coralgables PREPARE FOR A HUGE INCREASE in COVID INFECTIONS–and SHUTDOWN?

Scientists tell us that vaccine distribution is lagging way behind the increase in infections and the appearance of more aggressive infections that replicate faster. Some new COVID variants may be more resistant to existing vaccines.

Listen to the scientist. Speak out. What you are doing by saying you are working hard to get the vaccination out: that is just political cover.

Time to act. A SHUTDOWN IS HEADING OUR WAY.
