The head of epidemiology at UC Berkeley s school of public health offered up some guesses about what life could be like in the spring, summer, fall and into 2022 as coronavirus vaccines become more widespread.
His instincts were right. While he was able to get an appointment, he canceled it last night after learning he was indeed taking a spot away from someone else.
The codes are actually meant for people who live in areas disproportionately impacted by the pandemic - Areas like Marin County s Canal neighborhood, which is made up largely of Latinos and low-income essential workers.
Omar Carrera is the CEO of the Canal Alliance. He s frustrated he didn t even know about the codes and say it s just another reminder of the inequities of the pandemic.
