Playing Catch Up!

[givemeabreak1]

It is interesting that the US says 70% of their population will have had their first dose by July 4th.  Because we have a small population we will actually catch up and possibly surpass them by that date depending on the uptake.  The US is have difficulty now as they are reaching some of the populations who are not sold on vaccinations.  Canada as a whole are more sold on vaccination.  Given the US is now opening export from their plant to Canada and based on predicted vaccines which will be some 20 million plus May/June and that does not include J&J, AZ or possibly Nova which could be approved any day now.   That would bring us up to 70% as well!  We are now over 30%.  In theory we could hit 80% of the adult population based on predicted deliveries by July 4th!

And in reality our 30% number is probably really low!  I will tell you why some esitmations figure at least 1million snowbirds have been vaccinated in Florida and Arizona.  Also,  the numbers are vague but another 1/2 to 1 million Canadians hold dual citizenship and they can drive across the border and get vaccinate.  Look at the recent report of BC mayor and her hubby.

I fully agree here. If it was just an apples to apples comparison I would say the U.S. would win the race, but it's the vaccine uptake part of the equation there, that will slow them down significantly and allow Canada to catch up and surpass. Now there's a State offering a free beer with a vaccine, and roaming vaccinators at sporting events, or even paying $$'s outright as an

That fact any "incentive" at all is necessary is a red flag imo, I read an article from fox yesterday where the guy quoted "but its clear that for those who are in no rush to get the vaccine, we have to find a way to lure them to easy and accessible mobile clinics" like lure them?? Really? Nice choice of words, I will pass on that thing. ...... ....quote=Starsearcher80]I fully
