Elderly at greatest risk, should be atop shot list

WE ARE currently in 1B phase of the vaccination priority. This includes the 75-years-and-older group.

I would like to remind the powers that be that it is not the city employees, state employees, federal employees or inmates, to name a few, that are high risk of death from the virus. Eight out of 10 deaths are in the elderly, no matter what social group, ethnic group or work group.

The elderly should be at the top of 1B and not randomized with others.
