    How long have Gov. Kate Brown and Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen known that each day, seniors represent the majority of people dying in this pandemic? How long have they known that vaccines were being produced at “warp speed”? How many unused vaccines have not been delivered to vulnerable Oregonians? The answers clearly show that Brown, Allen and their team have mismanaged the vaccine rollout. Oregon is near the bottom of the list of states in the percentage of vaccinations used.
    Recently, our friends, who are in their 70s and live in Georgia, received their vaccination dates, which are 10 days from now. Even as Georgia held a high-profile runoff election, the state has managed to get its seniors vaccinated. Florida seniors, including the snowbirds, are being vaccinated. Brown and Allen cannot blame the federal government or any other body for their incompetence. They have vaccines, and more are coming. They should do their jobs. Cut the red tape and get the vaccines to vulnerable citizens, including Oregon’s seniors.

    I guess it took an hour and a half to introduce everyone on Kate's CV19 committee. They are the ones that will determine who gets vaccinated. They wont have a concrete plan till end of January.

    Is he close to being discharged? I know that previous outbreaks at nursing homes they made everyone stay there and only allowed the really sick ones to leave. The doctors said the reason our family member died from covid is because she waited too long to finally go to the hospital. If grandpa isn't ready to leave he needs to know that if he gets anything more than a cough and mild fever he needs to call you guys.

    I'm in the 1a group of people that can get vaccinated. I could get vaccinated tomorrow if i so choose.

    I've chosen to wait until February. I have long said that I was going to wait until the first group of people went through BOTH doses to then see what the efficacy is. I e heard multiple first hand and second hand accounts of how sick the 2nd shot can make you and to plan to take a couple days off work. Again, preliminary, but thats what I've heard.

    Another plastic surgeon friend is not doing well either right now.

    My friend, who is a Primary Care Physician, only got his first shot on Saturday. He said his Medical Assistant is out with COVID-symptoms.

    Coworkers daughter tested positive, she's in quarantine now but has tested negative so far.

    Our senior friends that live in Carson Wa. just got vaccinated yesterday. Early 70's. No underlying conditions.
    I read where Oregon's testing is even down 28% compared with Nov and we've only used about 1/3 of the vaccines that were shipped here going a month ago.

    It's been a whole 24 hours, and no one has posted this? This is where I can't stand the double standard of this forum. This guy is the worst of them all.
