And I have a feeling the wait will likely be longer than 12 months at this pace. It’s barely a trickle, if that. You can just tell it’s going to be painfully slow. When the vaccine was approved I envisioned mass drive in inoculation centers like with the testing. Now that, or the equivalent seem like a fantasy. Hopefully having competent people in our govt will help.
