Seems that leaving things up to the states is part of how we get so deep into the weeds to begin with.

CA collects taxes, I expect them to use them productively. The federal government doesn't have the manpower or resources to administer vaccines to 350ish million people. State and local governments have just as much an obligation to their constituents as the federal government.

Note - I'm not saying the federal government did an excellent job, but states need to be held accountable too. The federal government was never meant to babysit all 50 states.

California has been an absolute disgrace per the usual. Incompetent dem run from top to bottom.

Is it the "phase" distribution approach?

if a State gets 500k vaccines but phase 1A calls for hospital workers only for 3 weeks until phase 1B .. there arent 500k hospital workers in MD. So maybe 60k hospital workers get it over 3 weeks while 440k vaccines sti and waitr for phase 1b, then 1c etc

i am just guessing here with hypotheticals.

i found md testing sites to be well run.

Once this is finally over and done I just hope we have a better pandemic response plan in place for the future. Because if we're ever hit with a more serious virus we're gonna be in a world of hurt.

This x1000. Thread closer. Politics aside this is the most important thing we should all be able to agree with. This will be my last post in this thread. I'll stick with the non-political thread, if anything, going forwards.

Unite the clans!!

Birx claimed on Sunday that someone was giving Trump different data than she was working with.

US SURGEON GENERAL JEROME ADAMS PENS FAREWELL MESSAGE: 'THIS HAS BEEN THE HONOR OF MY LIFE'

"I saw the president presenting graphs that I never made," Birx told CBS "Face the Nation." "So, I know that someone — or someone out there or someone inside was creating a parallel set of data and graphics that were shown to the president. I don't know to this day who, but I know what I sent up and I know that what was in his hands was different from that. That worries me because at any moment — I've built my career on data transparency and accountability."

In his first news briefing since President Joe Biden was sworn in, Fauci said that the new administration was committed to being "completely transparent, open and honest," a sharp break from the Trump White House, when Fauci said he often felt there would be repercussions for speaking honestly about the pandemic.

"It was very clear that there were things said, be it regarding things like hydroxychloroquine and other things like that, that really was uncomfortable because they were not based in scientific fact," Fauci told reporters, speaking about the Trump administration.

"The idea that you can get up and talk about what you know, what the evidence is, what the science is," Fauci continued, "it is somewhat of a liberating feeling."

“I didn’t want to be at odds with the president because I have a lot of respect for the office of the presidency, but there was conflict at different levels with different people and different organizations and a lot of pressure being put on to do things that just are not compatible with the science,” he said.

“It’s a real aberrancy,” he later added. “This is my seventh administration, Rachel, and I’ve been advising administrations and presidents on both sides of the aisle, Republicans and Democrats, people with different ideologies, and even with differences in ideology, there never was this real affront on science. So it really was an aberrancy that I haven’t seen in almost 40 years that I’ve been doing this. So it’s just one of those things that is chilling when you see it happen."

Well looks like we have the NY AG pointing out a scandal and a cover up by NY Cuamo.

The Cuomo administration undercounted coronavirus-related deaths at nursing homes by as much as 50%, New York’s attorney general said.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/28/n...mid=tw-nytimes

Absolutely disgusting...remember when complete morons accused The Florida governor with zero proof? Now we have the proof and Cuomo should be charged. Disgraceful policy and mismanagement followed up with a cover up of the real numbers

Most deaths in the country, put covid patients in nursing homes, lied about it, and the media actually celebrated this bullshit artist. Why the media is the enemy of the people and lie to in order to push a political agenda:

You hate Trump so much, you actually might not be aware he isn't the president anymore.

And as a self proclaimed republican (even though we all know you're full of shit, literally all of us including actual democrats), can you move on?

You let that man fuck this Country up and you will be reminded of how bad he and his cult have damaged this Country . You haven't moved on and your post prove it. You just don't want me to remind you what a big FU he was and in that aspect you're right becuase I will not stop on that issue.
