Twenty Million Vaccinated By The End Of The Year

Operation Warp Speed is just getting off the ground.  The bureaucrat in me is just relieved that the vaccine seems to work and it is getting out there.  

Projections of how many folks were to have been vaccinated by the end of the year may have been off but that doesn't mean much.  Even if twenty million people had been vaccinated I doubt that things would have been "normal" since things have been at best abnormal for almost the entire 2020.

It is kind of hard to change gears.  For too long a time we have been living with a leader that seems to operate as follows:

 If wishes were horses then beggars would ride,

If turnips were swords I’d have one by my side.

If ‘ifs’ and ‘ands’ were pots and pans

There would be no need for tinker’s hands!

There have been about 200,000 new cases a day and there are states where hospitals and staffs are reaching full capacity.  The supply and distribution logistics are being worked on and getting the health care workers, essential and those most at risk is at best daunting.  Since day one about 2,000,000 people have been vaccinated.

The sooner the high priority groups can be served the better.

I wonder how long people will hear the phrase "a work in progress".
