I don't think people realize how bad the distribution problem is. My state is sitting on 800,000 doses. Four times than what they've given out. It's just craziness that after a year of this we can't handle rolling out a vaccine.



My current city has about 1 million people in the metro area. They are only doing doses at one indoor building, and to date done 4,000 shots. It's honestly appalling.


Be aware also that the federal government immediately increments the "doses given to state" number, while states may not report the "doses given" number back to the federal government promptly, so seeing one number being much larger than the other isn't necessarily proof that there's a distribution problem
