I just read an interesting article. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recommended that senior citizens be moved toward the back of the line because racial and ethnic minorities are under-represented in this group. In other words, seniors are too white.
I wonder if this is why places like Orlando are getting the virus first.

Although the Advisory Committee made that recommendation, our governor, in a speech he made last week in The Villages, said that in Florida the over-65 people, our parents and grandparents, would remain in line after medical professionals and nursing home residents.
I applaud that decision. It seems to me that we need to protect the people who, if they get COVID, are more likely to use hospital care and medical resources. Younger people who get sick are much less likely to need those resources. By keeping seniors out of hospitals we reduce the death rate more and preserve the availability of hospital care.
