Zvi, I still think that your model of vaccination ordering is wrong, and that the best read of the data is that frontline essential workers should be very highly prioritized from a DALY / deaths averted perspective. I left this comment on the last thread that explains my reasoning in detail, looking at both of the published papers I’ve seen that model vaccine ordering: link. I’d be happy to elaborate on it but I haven’t yet seen anyone provide any disagreement.
More minor, but regarding rehab facilities, from a bureaucratic perspective they are “congregate living facilities” and in the same category as retirement homes. I don’t think New York is doing anything exceptional by having them high on the list, for instance California is doing the same thing if I understand correctly. We can of course argue over whether it’s good for them to be high on the list; I personally think of them as 20-person group houses and so feel reasonably good prioritizing them highly, though I’m not confident in that conclusion.
