(317) For outside temperatures between 40° F and 68° F, the % of time that a building's heater runs is very low. If the circulation fan is in "auto" this leads to a low ventilation condition, ideal for #COVID19.
The problem extends to lower temperatures in colder climates.

Successful adaptations lead to higher viral loads that infect others by transmission vectors.
As more biomes have antibodies, more resistant strains will emerge.

(669) The United States is currently vaccinating 11.6% of the Population per 100 days (3.7% in 32 days).
To vaccinate 100M people (200M doses) in 100 days would be 30.3% of the Population per 100 days.
It's only 2.6-2.7 times the current rate.
