And so it goes:  one problem after the other...now it's all about who gets the vaccine 1st.

Sigh.

We've had a few LuLus for presidents I would remind U...GW Bush being the most recent.  He served TWO terms.  He & Cheney got us involved in TWO unnecessary wars resulting in millions of Innocents deaths.  

"now it's all about who gets the vaccine 1st."

Don't think it is. It's not a race. It's an attempt to find a vaccine that works and in the case of the Oxford vaccine, one that the world can afford, so that this pandemic can end.

I wasn't referring to race so much as age/profession/work.

"a race" not 'race'

Since humans can kill viruses doesn't that rather confuse the issue?

Right, because we nailed the cure for the common cold so long ago.

WHAT'S YOUR EVIDENCE THAT LOCKDOWN/MASKS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH STOPPING COVID?

My country.  Australia.

Or New Zealand.

Look at the countries that took it seriously, had a clear and coherent message and supported their medical staff.

Then look at the US.

Yes U R correct it's the elderly who R dying from this virus...more than any other group.

I think black people are a close second.

We probably will eventually. It's just that so many viruses cause cold symptoms and those viruses constantly mutate.

And work faster than we can, meaning they will always be at least one step ahead.
