re hard decisions, you posted, "--I agree with you on that assessment. for myself as well. I would trust to being isolated rural, and let the younger folks get the vaccine. Mine has to be worn off as well."

Hopefully this will never happen. If it does, it will bring out the worse in people. The vaccines will have to watched by armed guards. If we can make it 6 months out, we should have enough for us and Canada and most of Mexico!

The gay and impaired immune response population will be goners if this happens. They probably would contract the disease or have serious and probably fatal side effects if they are vaccinated.

CDC needs to be vaccinating all first responders, both health and police; all main line/street cops, er and primary docs, nurses and staff asap. Then start vaccinating pediatric patients, young children, teens, young adults and the parents of all of these populations. Teachers should be vaccinated to make sure that they don't spread the disease.

Then they can start giving to the rest of us. Start with the younger and work up the age ladder! I'm 63, and that puts me up the ladder. However, they should not use vaccinations on older adults who aren't parents, front line responders and health care providers until there is an adequate supply! Unlike you, I live in a surburban/metro area!

There was a very interesting post here, wish I had kept it. It outlined how back in the olden days, people would use an infected person, scratch their own arms, and apply a small amount of the pus from someone who was recovering and almost healed up from the pox-in effect giving themselves a field expedient vaccination. Mrs. Jefferson? I have forgotten now, maybe someone bookmarked the information.
