[thirteen]

I didn't know much about Lewis Black before this show but I recognized his name. Loved everything about today's episode. What a gem.

9 months put us in the July timeframe for Germany. US is much larger I hope it's about the same or better for most countries... scary times.

I don't think we realistically can start vaccinations before January

For the timeframes to be similar a big factor will be how efficiently you can distribute:
Accessible location by car so you need parking and by public transport so people without cars can get there, wheelchair access, social distancing, etc
Costs I imagine I'll get mine for free
Documentation It needs two doses so you need to track and follow up who got what and prove you had yours if they make that a requirement for e.g. travel
Coverage you need to get as many/all states on the same system ASAP

Simply looking at how similar issues worked for election season? I'd be worried

I work with a guy who's dad is a MD. He is scheduled to get his first shot of the vaccine Jan. 10th. It comes in two doses. I don't know when the second shot is. But that means front line workers are getting there shots starting January.

Hard to say when it will be available to the public. Depends on a lot of things but I know pharmacies are already ordering it. Also, it's going to be hard to distribute. According to this guys father the vaccine has to be stored at -70F, obviously it is warmed before injection but it doesn't have much of a self life above that temp. For industrialized nations this wont be that much of an issue. Other nations even China and India that is industrialized has large rural areas where this is a problem.

I don't know of the vaccines that are coming out how many have similar issues. Hopefully, this will change so it can be more widely available.

I love Lewis Black and my wife does too. Probably more than I do. I loved the episode. I want to share it with her, but the only time I’d get a chance is if we’re traveling somewhere. And that’s not happening too much right now. I have to figure this out.

I have been wanting to watch his new special but hadn't yet this totally reminded me to do that and it was GREAT! I've watched most of his specials and seen him live twice. I would definitely like to see him live again once this shit is past. His live performance is a must for a fan, he is so good live.
