1. Wow.

It was not exactly a thrilling moment. The box came with no advance notice, no directions for where the doses were supposed to be distributed, no extra funding to help cover costs, no extra anything and at the exact point when Cahaba’s 450 employees were nearing exhaustion after a year of managing coronavirus testing while keeping eight clinics open.

Yes, by all means, let's give the Orange One all of the credit he deserves.

Thank goodness for all of the amazing health workers and administrators who have worked tirelessly to get the job done. Kudos to them.
