We are getting the vaccine! So grateful for this. Things will get back to normal very soon.

That's a bit of a fairy tale. The drug companies can't make enough of the vaccine for everyone that quickly, so late summer is more the definition of "very soon". https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/17/h...available.html

It would help things if an antibody test was mandatory to receive the vaccine. This way people who actually need it get it first. Then remove the mandate once supply is adequate.

Hopefully it's going out first to those with pre-existing conditions and in high risk age groups (60+) who have much more detrimental symptoms and considerably higher fatality rates. I would think that's part of the protocol. I'm not sure the labs would have the capacity or turnaround time necessary to conduct testing on such a widespread scale.

Orlando sold itself out to a single industry and it's devastated the economy.

This is a harsh lesson learned that only having the low paying service related tourism jobs isn't the way to grow Orlando. Orlando always seemed like a large soulless suburb than a city to me.

What I was reading was the first responders get the first round oblf vaccines, then the high risk population. After all that, there will be flow of essential workers to general public.



Since the supply will be so limited for multiple months, I just believe that antibody testing before any vaccination can help aid in efficiency of meeting the dire demand to those who need it first... but I doubt it will happen, we have botched the response time after time in this state.

It's more like the entire state of Florida, though Orlando takes a heavy hit insomuch as 75 million of the 100 million who visit come here.

But yeah, a state built on tourism and servicing the people who spent a bulk of their adult lives somewhere else.

No the story said it is a new strain of Covid that spreads more easily but its affects are the same as the original Covid.
