...But no drugs will be delivered on Sundays...
Not FedEx or UPS? How about AMTRAK?
This is weird, and... the USPS responsible for something... not sure, uh... ahh... well, just WTF!!!???
Unbelievable. Handing this responsibility to the USPS is like giving a map to Stevie Womder.
How about telling us what we need to have on hand and we’ll get it ourselves? Otherwise, we have to wait until it’s delivered after an attack?
How do mail carriers feel about becoming targets?
Why not pre-place them in locked areas of major hospitals.
The real problem here is not that the USPS would (or would not) deliver the vaccine. The real underlying problem is that the idiot Obama thought that news that the Postal Service would deliver it would reassure us!
Let me tell you the mailbox theft will be massive if that occurs. I unfortunately believe there will be so many people stealing from others’ mailboxes. I’m not necessarily talking neighbors doing it to other neighbors (the less they know their neighbors, the more likely it’d happen) but just strangers driving down streets and taking them from mailboxes.
HA...they’ll be hoarding the drugs themselves....wanta bet!

My drug delivery will be sitting in my mailman’s car trunk for about a mouth before he drops it off in a dumpster behind his favorite crack house.
These clowns lost my paycheck last month - said it was undeliverable. Only been at this address for 22 years!
Fortunately was returned to my employer and was able to get it!
I have no problem with this. UPS and Fed Ex regularly cannot find my rural home. USPS finds it every day.
The USPS delivers mail to every street address on a near daily basis. The private carriers don’t, nor do they have carriers who walk routes and who often know the residents living on their routes quite well.
People like to complain about the bankrupt USPS, but their problems are entirely caused by congressional micro management in regards to unionization and forced payments to prepay their excessive medical and retirement plans (so congress can raid that piggy bank).
Does that mean my neighbor will get my drugs and I will get hers? Or does it mean it will be dropped in the snow and left there? Or does it mean I will get the drugs long after the need for them? Not that I would trust or use anything the gubmint would distribute anyway.
Will Barry be emailing out our tracking numbers?
This actually makes sense.
Who else would you have deliver, door-to-door, cipro or other antibiotics, on a massive basis? And not just leave it in the box, but a ding-dong face-to-face with a little flyer and personal encouragement, take the pills or get Q fever.
The idea has been around for a while, but was not implemented. It’s being done under Obama but was actually talked about during Bush I.
Sure FedEx and UPS deliver packages, but not to everyone in Chicago over a three-day period. The Postal guy fills my box with flyers from everyone from Alpha Beta to Pep Boys every day, and sometimes free samples of deodorant or cookies. Cipro or Erythro would fit right in this model.
Most people would not go to a hospital to pick up their free pills, unless they already have symptoms, in which case they might as well fill out their own toe-tags.
Some day, someone is going to unload a half-kilo of anthrax or similar, and if we don’t have a plan in place ready to go when BioWatch confirms a positive, the casualties will be astounding.
Can anyone think of a better way to deliver pharmaceuticals to an entire city in the shortest time?
Fedex will fly it there. They already carry the priority mail. Then you’re on your own. I’ll bet Fedex could get it to your house faster.
lol...
We are SO screwed....
“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”
Doesn’t say anything about bioterror.
Barry, have an extra large glass of STFU and go play golf.
