Can you elaborate on this?
IIRC the US recommendations take into account the population's chance of infecting others, rather than just solely the risk of death.
- Analemma_ 6y agoThe parent's info is out of date. There was a big fuss a week or so ago about how the CDC's draft recommendations for how states should distribute vaccines prioritized "essential workers" instead of the elderly, which would've increased the total number of deaths, but these ended up not being the final recommendation. A large number of uninformed people are still raging about it though.
- garmaine 6y agoThe present guidelines are still substantially worse than the UK’s though. Door dashers are still put ahead of the elderly outside of nursing homes.
