COVID Relief Actions/Min Wage Increase Fed Workers - Biden Executive Order
I am thrilled to see him taking swift and decisive action to help Americans that have suffered throughout the pandemic. These are the types of actions that will help get the country and economy back on track. I am eagerly waiting for executive actions to ramp up vaccine production and distribution. The sooner it's made available to the masses, the better!
COVID Relief
He's also suppose to sign an EO to increase min wage for Federal workers to $15.
Min Wage - Fed Workers

Yay!
However, I am a little hesitant about them ramping up vaccines because of an article I read the other day.

I don’t want to see third world countries get left behind as they always do.

Interesting article, I hadn't seen that. It is so important that the vaccine is available to everyone across the globe otherwise we will never fully get this virus under control.

Agreed. As a world leader, the U.S. has lots of responsibilities. I am pretty confident that the President will think globally when it comes to aid like this.

I’m sure he will think globally. I just don’t see how it is logistically possible to ramp up more production.
AstraZeneca is reporting that they are having supply issues. I’m not up on all my brands to be honest. So is the US just going to ramp up production and then use it for the US and forget about the other countries? There has to be some global regulation for that. I also think there will be a supply problem in general.

This reminded me of the thread the other day (which was way too long to bump, so I figured I'd add it here instead -- I know you'll all appreciate it.)
