His regional office was in my little town, and his replacement is from here as well.

SO we got the vaccine for distribution, 1 of 10 hospitals in NC to get it first. I was surprised, then not surprised. Meanwhile, we're having an outbreak here from a superspreader church event earlier this month, 100 cases so far. And while each site that gets it has their own guidelines on who gets the vaccine, I'm sure most reserve some for the VIPs.

The current administration has rolled out this distribution plan. Friends, family, donors, favored constituents are getting first dibs. I'm under 60, not expecting to be offered vaccine for a year, but then again, my county has (obvious?) connections.
