[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, DC isn't dead last in terms of how many people it's vaccinated, just skewed because it's vaccinated a large number of non-residents (who presumably work in DC in health care or the like)?  Seems like DC's in a hard spot because of the number of people who come into the city and interact with residents.  [/quote]

Grr.

Yet another reason DC should be a state.  If we had two Senators, the Senators would be pushing for more doses.  But we have no representation, so the government listens to us less.

Make DC a state.[/quote]

I agree with "grrr", except no one is forcing DC to dole out DCs supply to non-residents. It was a great idea in theory [b]IF[/b] everyone was "playing nice" and donating equitable quantities of vaccine to DC. They aren't. 10,000 grocery/food service workers from anywhere in the DMV are scheduled next, and DC isn't near completing seniors. If DC Mayor, Council and Nesbitt want "more vaccine"--then negotiate for it with MD/VA and the Feds, or call the bluff and prioritize DC residents. You have to actually try to be last. Not a case for statehood. [/quote]
