Vaccine priorities
The time has come to bring some common sense and sanity to the priority of vaccine distribution. Health care workers and first responders should be at the top of the list. People over 65 with comorbidity should be next. The idea of a 25-year-old grocery clerk is just another CDC guideline that missed the mark. I sincerely hope Gov. Ricketts makes the state of Nebraska a benchmark for vaccine distribution and issues guidelines that let our senior citizens know that their lives matter.

Learn the lessons
The one thing we need is a thorough understanding of and lessons learned from the current COVID-19 virus situation. Day by day, we see the results of the virus, the impact of misunderstanding the virus, delay, dismissive public health policy, charges and counter-charges of blame, denial and abysmal leadership response and the enormous hit on almost everyoneâs financial well-being.
