A balance between those with conditions correlated with high IFR and lower risk of severe side effects (higher than rates of severe COVID effects in some populations).

I’m not going to be actively prioritizing “groups” behind geographical considerations. Addressing high risk people tends to capture some of those factors without needing to make it racial.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
