It was in the article I linked and had to do with the Federal Surplus that does not exist.
I apologize for failing to click the link. There is no other reality other than we sit here on a Saturday, shipments go out every single Monday, and there's not a state that doesn't already have ample doses for the next 7 days.
According to Pfizer, they can ship out at least 7MM extra doses in the next week.
CA could administer 12K doses at Dodger Stadium TODAY (not next week) and it wouldn't put a dent in the 2.5MM doses they have that haven't been used yet.
Wake County could activate a hotline today, not next Tuesday.
Now, the good news is, since Jan 8, first-timers have jumped from 6.7MM to 10.6MM. But we've got to ramp it up even more. Biden plans on averaging 7MM/week for 14 weeks starting a week from now. And we need to be at 8.8MM/week just to get ~1/4 of the US population both doses by the end of May.
WakeMed Raleigh now has 1/5 of their hospitals beds full of covid-19, which is over 123 inpatient beds. WakeMed - Cary hospital has over 44 inpatient covid-19 beds, which is over 25% of inpatient beds.
I guess we are not doing too hot with this, are we? Yeah, I guess not.

Is there any way to tell how many are there because of COVID vs. there for some other reason and just happened to test positive?
Apologies if it was already posted in a different thread, but I'm wanting to know which where to get a rapid test done where results are available within an a couple of hours.
1) Durham Department of Health number from the Web site generates a Verizon message that it is either not working or disconnected.
2) Duke web site shows no appointments open. Ever. I went into May, and nothing.
3) UNC web site says no appointments available. Period.
Three friends age 65 somehow managed to get appointments by going in the minute Gov. Cooper announced the age drop last week and are gloating all over social media. Those who didn't get in are apparently S.O.L. -- perhaps forever, who knows. (Gee, ya think I'm aggravated?)

My parents and their friends (Wake County seniors) basically all F5'd the UNC website last week sometime and all got appointments for vaccination in random surrounding counties. My mom was sent to Smithfield (JoCo) today and my dad is being sent to another county on Wednesday.
I know 'administrative' workers in healthcare from Wake who were able to get a vaccine in New Hanover County weeks ago.
The state's distribution strategy (or lack thereof) is a cluster and a free for all. The fact that it is coming down to seniors spamming refresh on their browsers to find appointments in other locations because of a no real strategy by DHHS other than throwing doses to the wind in every county and telling them to figure it out is crazy.

My 77 yr old mother, internet-aware but nowhere near savvy, "finally" (meaning I simply can't believe the system [government and care providers] didn't contact 65+ or 75+ already) got a communication from her UNC Rex-affiliated concierge PCP and set up a Friday Center appt with no issue ... other than she had to pick a date 20 days out to get "around" noon so she "didn't have to get up too early and didn't have to deal with commuting traffic". Said there were lots of opportunities if she was willing to get there by 9 am.

They are all there "for COVID" and at Rex also. If they found COVID incidently (if the patient came for another medical problem but has a positive COVID test), the primary medical issue will be dealt with first and if COVID is not severe, they are sent home for quarantine.
