That’s how it’s being done over here too. I had my first shot in mid-Feb and
expect the second in early-mid May.
The approach seems to be working, and we are already well into the second shots
for the more at-risk people. Cases, hospitalisations and deaths has fallen very
dramatically. Where I live the estimated number of cases has fallen from about
1,800 in late Jan to 62 today. Whether that continues for much longer remains
to be seen as restrictions are being loosened and we are about to go into
Easter weekend, so there will probably be a lot of people travelling to the
beach here.
This can be compared with the situation in France, Germany etc where the
vaccination programme has been slower, the number of cases etc is rising, and
restrictions are being tightened.
There is a political argument between the UK and the EC about distribution of
the vaccine and a good deal of stupid talk from both sets of politicos, but at
least the vaccinations work, so hopefully the entire world will have an
adequate supply as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, we are going to be playing whack-a-mole with this one,
mostly because people are so fucking self centered that they are
actively creating an environment for the virus to mutate.
I know we aren't supposed to mention politics, but Donald Trump deserves
to have a pike stuck up his ass so that he can be slow roasted on a spit
because it was his incompetence, ignorance and malfeasance that created
the politicizing of common sense health guidelines that is giving us a
lot of these variants of concern.
The guy should have been drowned at birth.
