Limited quantities are now being made available to front line workers even though the vaccine has not been completely tested. A course of two injections is estimated to cost $144.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">This is of course good news for all of us, and suggests that here in the US a vaccine may not be beyond reach as we head into 2021. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">An idea for our Covid-19 fund: free inoculations when they become available and if they are not provided free to all, for those who lack health insurance or the means to purchase the injections.</div><div><br></div><div class="ydp4810e3casignature">Jeff Stubbs<br>P.O.
