Rich people first silly

1. Politicians and their families and staffers

2. Celebrities

3. The very wealthy

4. Hospital executives

5. Medical personal.

6. People with insurance

7. everyone else

It will be easy to get since so many people think it is too risky/used by Bill gates to implant microchips.

when a proper vaccine is developed, what "pecking order" should these be given out?

Probably healthcare workers and anyone in a rest home?  This would seem like common sense, but I figure the gov will come up with some strange directive.

Some are already saying they are scared because it is being "rushed".  4th qtr will be a sensational one for certain

High risk groups, healthcare workers, elderly, front line workers and the like. 

The human guinea pigs for potential vaccines being tested right now number in the thousands.  So whatever scientists eventually come up with will likely prove to be significantly safer than going without, especially for high risk individuals.  

Of course herd immunity is the ultimate objective, so the quicker people are vaccinated the quicker society can get back to some semblance of normalcy without waiting for coronavirus to spread to everyone naturally. 

Should be interesting as flu season returns this Autumn.  Second wave might be worse than the first, especially if we have a vaccination available that half the population refuses to take advantage of.

Yep, we already saw it play out with testing. The common person couldn't get a test even if they were exhibiting textbook symptoms yet how many reports did we hear of asymptomatic politicians, celebrities, and athletes getting tested?

There's not going to be a vaccination by this fall. Not in meaningful quantities anyway.

You'll have to forgive me for not getting too excited over anything coming out of China right now. I still remember them shipping a bunch of faulty COVID tests all over the world barely a month ago.

It's cheap. The house I'm selling in Colorado for well over $500k could be bought all day long in the Charlotte area for half that.

In a general sense there is a meaningful difference between Charlotte proper and Charlotte "area."  When my company decided to start a Charlotte office, not a single person that was transferred chose to live in Charlotte proper.  Everybody bought around the edges.  Hell, even the "Charlotte office" ended up in Fort Mill. LOL

That being said, people from certain areas of the country are getting a bargain in Charlotte compared to where they are from.  I live in Virginia Beach which comes at a premium price but a co-worker upgraded her home for cheaper when she moved here from San Diego.

I can buy an actual fuging mansion in Charlotte for what I'm selling my 3 bed, 2 bath 2000sqft house for.

Yeah @LinvilleGorge ain't bullshitting.  The middle class house I live in now would be a mansion in G'boro.  Property costs on the Front Range are stupid.

 

I could sell my modest home tomorrow and buy this (zilliow to zillow) from the deal

Yep, I've had enough. We're buying on the western slope or Montana probably around this time next year. I'm pushing for Montana but if the wife is set on the western slope I'm not gonna fight it too hard.

We are looking at Wyoming hard.

With my change in employment (to work from home permanently) Its opened up the opportunity to find somewhere the maximizes my salary vs cost of living.

We've been thinking about getting off the Front Range for the past 2-3 years and were definitely gonna do it in the next 2-3 years so we're jumping the gun now because I think we're about to get rocked for awhile economically and it seems like 95% of people are completely oblivious to it. Cash in my chips now and buy at a heavy discount a year from now.

We are about 5 months form the capital gains taxes of selling but are very much in the same boat of looking for an exit ramp.

 

We over bought for... reasons, but we've seen a ~40Kish improvement in price and we still have a 30k plumbing issue to address.  I dont imagine us being in the Denver metro in 12 months.  poo is crazy expensive here.

We bought four years ago. Our annual appreciation averages out to 7% per year based on our selling price.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
