COMMENT: Prioritizing groups

Tammy - You seem to be arguing for what I think may be called a "complete lives" approach a very sophisticated and defensible position, but I think based on a more pessimistic projection of vaccine availability, and higher CFR and AR attacks rate than 3/30%. While that may happen, the experts in yesterday's discussion allayed my fears about that more negative scenario and I'm becoming more comfortable with the HHS recommendations.

If 70% of the population never gets infected and less than 3% of those infected die, we need to pay more attention to those who are vulnerable.
