Now that COVID-19 vaccinations are available, the effort has moved on to making sure everyone gets it. In New York City, this means that 8.6 million people will need to get the shot in the arm in order for life to return, somewhat, to normal ASAP.
But, right now, it's taking far too long.
Most of the people getting vaccinated are getting their shots on Mondays to Fridays during business hours. This simply isn't going to work. New Yorkers need to be getting vaccinated 24/7 -- yes, at night, on weekends, during holidays, whenever or wherever they can. That means that if some of us, including yours truly, need to get vaccinated at 3 AM on a Saturday morning, so be it!
The city really needs to expands its imagination and ramp up its efforts and, as some in the city council have said, take on a war-like mentality and effort in beating this thing with overwhelming force.
The virus does not go away at night, take weekends or holidays off, and doesn't operate only during business hours. It's here, invading and fighting the city, 24/7 so now that we have the artillery to defeat it we must be fighting it 24/7.
