"It would have been funnier if people cared about getting the vaccine." I thought about that, plus this flu doesn't seem to be that serious unless there are complicating pre-existing factors, which is true of flu generally. Doesn't change the disconnect between the government declaring a health emergency, identifying high risk groups that will get the vaccine on a priority basis, fewer doses available than had been planned, and Goldman Sachs going to the head of the line. Someone had to ask for that, and someone else had to okay it, based on some other criteria than was applied to the rest of the population. The next one may be more serious. Just another thing that gives me the creepy feeling that this isn't my country, although I am allowed to live here. ARS
