I don't find it odd. Most of them are under 70. Then if you're over 70, you've still got a 95% chance of survival.
The CDC did not include an IFR estimate for people 80 or older. But judging from crude case fatality rates (deaths divided by confirmed cases), the IFR for people in that age group would be substantially higher than 5.4 percent.

So based on that…what are Pres ProT odds?
The health care of a US senator is top of the line
I wouldn’t expect him to go anywhere

So serious question
How do I get my hands on the Pfizer or moderna vaccine?

Gee now I am depressed….

Had to chuckle when I saw Phizer's claim of 95% effectiveness. Just had to be just a tad better than Moderna's 94.5% ::)
How do we get our hands on the vaccine? Survive the winter.

Get a job as a frontline health care worker (I think working in a nursing home might qualify)
Or forge your age so you were born in 1930

Hey man, you totally just described me. I'm going into hibernation and won't be seen in public except the grocery store until April at least.

I'm pretty sure Moderna is two doses, just like Pfizer. But please cite your source and I'm happy to be proved wrong. You are correct about the refrigeration.
Johnson and Johnson is the main (only?) one that they are saying is single dose. And even then, there's talk of making is a two doser.

From the New York Times today:
Moderna said it would have 20 million doses ready by the end of 2020; Pfizer said it would have about 50 million by then — half for Americans. Both vaccines require two shots, so 20 million doses would be enough for 10 million people.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/16/health/Covid-moderna-vaccine.html
So with each person needing a double dose, that would be 45 million doses for 22.5 million Americans, by the end of the year.

I’ll probably get whichever vaccine has the funnier Super Bowl ad.
Worst day in terms of covid deaths since early May
I guess people don’t think it’s a big thing but by time Biden takes over we will be at point where 1 out of every 1000 Americans has died from covid
I think that’s pretty catastrophic
The American people scare me
