If you want to talk about a red line in COVID talks it should have always been this. Authorize every dollar necessary to change "early fall" to "spring"

Congress spent two days parceling out language on Fed programs that won't see the light of dawn, 3,000 people a day are dying and the bill on offer won't get us 1, 2, 3 months closer to herd immunity?
Furthermore, last I heard it only extends the unemployment programs for 10 weeks when the incoming surgeon general is saying no mass vaccine takeup until fall.
Congress is making the EXACT same mistake of not extending funding for the duration of the crisis.

The last time they did this everything expired and the belated follow-up bill cut the relief in half.
See you in 10 weeks.

People are ruining their reputations debating prioritization for the vaccine when it should be irrelevant because the federal government is spending so much money in production and distribution that the priority order just means a week or two
Think about the fact that, unless the language has sprouted up in these talks, there's not one dollar appropriated for any of this in a "COVID relief" bill

Like literally the only assembly lines going for the next two months should be producing materials for approved vaccines. All factories nationalized for this purpose.
Draining the entire military budget for a year and reaching herd immunity sooner ftw
