it’s unfortunate that we didn’t have three weeks to plan this event.

You didn’t see this coming?

We’re having to ride this bicycle as we build it

If this were a bicycle, you’dve all killed yourselves by now.

This (lack of) planning is unconscionable. Please tell me they have some plan in place to get all of these first-dosers a second dose in the appropriate time-frame. Something tells me they don’t really care whether that happens or not. This is criminal.

Incompetence becomes just another weapon in the Republican arsenal.

Among their many deficits, Republicans do exhibit a modest talent for converting their paranoiac fantasies into reality: their lousy governance makes government a problem and misallocates resources while their Covid19 denialism overloads ICU’s with rationing and ever harsher triage in consequence; e.g., https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1343331127789035524
