Pure armchair speculation, but I'd at least like public heath officials to explain their logic.
Tier 0: High risk daily exposure. (Medical, Rescue, Law Enforcement)
Tier 1: Frequent contact with Tier 0 (elderly in care) and/or high risk of complications (anyone in a hospital setting for an extended duration).
+++ My tier 2 seems to differ from public health models, at least that I've seen. My logical basis is to break transmission vectors. +++
Tier 2: Those who can't social distance well; essential workers with contact. This group should include anyone in unavoidable public service positions of any sort. E.G. (but not exhaustive): Teachers, grocery store workers, restaurant workers, chefs, warehouse and delivery workers.
Tier 3: High risk but CAN social distance and isolate.
Tier 4: Everyone else; possibly stratified by some score of age, prior medical conditions / risk factors, etc.
- maxerickson 6y agoTeachers and such in many states have approximately the priority you've outlined (with over 65 overlapping).
- jakear 6y agoThe most annoying thing for me is how easily people can game the “healthcare worker” definition. I know folks who are on the board of healthcare facilities, zero interaction with patients of course, and they get first priority and have already completed both rounds. Similarly, folks who stay at home all of the time to take care of disabled family get first priority, despite no external contact. Meanwhile, teachers who are forced to stay in a confined space with dozens of little rugrats who despise wearing masks, especially when coughing/sneezing, still haven’t gotten anything.
