Spoke to Dr. Fauci for a while tonight. Here's a rundown of where we're at with the vaccine:

1. "This is a new platform and there was always skepticism about using a new platform. Now we know it was successful"

Fauci said MODERNA vaccine is also likely going to be successful
2. Fauci said that the Pfizer vaccine targeted the "spike protein" and so the fact that Pfizer vaccine is successful bodes well for other companies.

"It's predictive of being even more good news with the other vaccines."
3. "Thus far — from what I hear the supply chain process is in place," Fauci said.

He said the CDC, in consultation with an advisory committee, "is the one that decides the priority of the distribution and it is all being worked out now"

Logistics is General Perna's purview

This outbreak is a reflection of how the WH has handled the national response to this virus. They have continued to ignore the advice and guidance from health officials and scientists. And they’ve endangered the livelihood of those around them as a result.
What’s more is that there’s an expectation on their part that everyone else has to play by the rules. And the WH is quick to point the finger at state leaders for not doing enough to stop community spread.
You’d think by now that there’d have been some public reckoning on the WH’s part that more than 200,000 have died from this virus. But the message has been ‘its bad but it could be worse and we’re opening back up’.

Docs I've spoken with tonight say getting someone in a hospital to run tests before symptoms get really bad (not saying this will happen but ie: needing a ventilator) is quite normal/preventative. Not sure this is the case. But lots of other patients took this course of action
Also I know this wasn't an option for so many! It was nearly impossible for people in hot spot cities to get bed space/ get treated in some instances.
But speaking from a clinical standpoint, getting people checked out before symptoms get bad makes sense, according to these docs

Let's take a look at Tulsa, Oklahoma's covid situation:
64 new cases yesterday, up about 20 from the day before but on par with 6/9/ Looks like the majority of the cases that aren't under investigation are due to community spread.
