1/ I've covered the virus since May. Here's what scares me most:
The vaccines are coming. They'll be shipped starting tomorrow before 7 a.m. That's fantastic news. 2/
But it's going to take months — months — to reach Americans who are not frontline health care workers or people in long-term care facilities. Even then, we'll all need 2nd doses 3 weeks after the first. 3/
