And what of the virus? With many positive over 65 cases, the virus has an increased environment to duplicate in - and mutate. Summary........there really is a case to be made for vaccinating the over 65 age group early. The same could be said for the over 75 which, I believe was the original intent of the CDC. But, state Governors decided that they knew better than the Science experts at the CDC. What a surprise, who knew?

Nonsense. The retiree can stay at home, and none of us will suffer in his absence. He wants the vaccine so he can go out and play.
Also, and this is actual science, the 66 year old is *not* more likely to become positive than of the 59 year old doing a critical job. He may, due to age and flab, be more likely to croak - but that’s why he should play it safe and stay home until the folks performing essential duties have been stuck.
