[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course I understand the statistics, but the metric isn't really that valuable.[b] It's not a zero sum game in which every shot only benefits the recipient.[/b] The more vaccine that goes into the DMV, the better. The fact that we have porous borders with MD and VA means that we are all interdependent. I[b] don't give a crap where my kid's teachers sleep at night as long as they get their damned shots and our DC school will finally open up.[/b]

There is a similar issue with a large percentage of NY shots going to NJ residents who come into NYC to work.

I can't think of a single person who don't want teachers (who are in person) to be priority.

But PP - if you are a DC resident - you must understand that Bowser's stats and benchmarks for reopening schools fully and allowing HS sports for example, are based partially on hospitalizations.

As we all know - hospitalizations are going way down due, in part to vaccines.

So, it is worth noting that the folks in DC hospitals are NOT necessarily residents of the city much like a large portion of DC allocated vaccines went to VA/MD residents.

And unless hospitalizations are going down - your child will not be in school 5 days with his/her teachers in person.
