Irene - I think we all wish there was
1) a nationwide standard
2) a nationwide plan
3) a consistent process and
4) clear communication.
But then I remember this is all being done "on the fly" because of how new the virus is, the speed at which the vaccine was developed, and the overall pandemic policy of leaving as much as possible to the states. The saddest thing is that the Federal government can "deficit spend" to put things in place, but most states cannot. In order to do Covid-related work, states must get money from the Feds or cut something else, which creates an additional complication.
