6. The Waiting Is far From Over

Glitches are already showing up in the delivery of vaccines. Polls show that only about half the population has committed to get the vaccine. That number is too low to do any more than reduce the infection rate. This virus will be with us into at least 2022 so time to affix that waiting cap and that mask. And that doesn't look at the global picture - for instance, India. They will need nearly 1 billion doses so where do they get that and how do they pay for it.

We also know that there will be a rush to reopen everything and that will compromise social distancing. And without a detailed plan the timeline just gets stretched out. I'm still waiting. The long haul will be longer than what we are being told. What we are being told is based on assumptions that are not attainable.
