Really depends on the J&J vaccine and how well all the vaccines work against the variants.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
Jordan Catalano said: "Like the headline says, this morning Faucci says he now believes by April it will be open season for the vaccine and enough will available to everyone.
The overall news is great but the headline is false and way oversells what Fauci [one "c"] said. What he said is that, by April, the vaccine will START to be available to everyone, but "He cautioned, however, that it will take 'several more months' to logistically deliver shots to adult Americans, but predicted that herd immunity could be achieved by late summer."
That would be very good news indeed, and it would mean that the new mentality would have time to sink in so folks would start doing things like buying theatre tickets. Of course, "could be achieved" is not a guarantee, but this does make my longstanding prediction of first shows in the fall (still probably more likely to be late than early) viable. Let's hope, remain safe, and remain patient.
Well, the article says “The top US infectious diseases expert said that “by the time we get to April,” it will be “open season, namely virtually everybody and anybody in any category could start to get vaccinated.”
So I just posted what the article says. Of course it will take months to get everyone vaccinated for a variety of reasons but this timeline is much sooner than had been predicted even a month ago.
Yes the news is good, but the Post headline is misleading and yours is even more so. There will be a ton of people who want the vaccine in April who will not be able to get it.
Can I just say how glad I am that we're now starting to look towards reopening, rather than last year's doom and gloom of a seemingly never-ending lockdown. I know it still might take months and months, but the fact that we're getting better rather than getting worse is a welcome change.
Even if we on the board have disagreements with eachother(myself included in that 'we' lol), in the end we're all theatre fans, and the news of broadway being promised a return is wonderful.
Really not sure how it’s misleading when the actual quote is
“The top US infectious diseases expert said that “by the time we get to April,” it will be “open season, namely virtually everybody and anybody in any category could start to get vaccinated.”
Although April is not that far away, the CDC really should expand the guidelines on who can receive the vaccine now. There are many who are under 65, that have compromised immune systems. Studies have shown that those who are HIV positive and contract covid are more likely to be hospitalized and die.
Ah yes, the Post. Tucker Carlson's and Trump's fav gossip rag. They hate liberals and science so let's source an actual reputable website:
"The top US infectious diseases expert said Thursday that “open season” for Covid-19 vaccination could begin in April, and that the country may be able to vaccinate the majority of Americans by the middle or end of summer."
This is good news but we have to not let our guard down. I got my second shot yesterday and was waiting in line in the cold and was shocked by how many people were not wearing masks. This is Bronx, NY for reference.

I am 100% certain you can appreciate that "could start to get vaccinated" and "available to anyone who wants" are materially not the same thing. Hence, the misleading headline. Just admit it and move on. It's no biggie; the ultimate news is good.
1. That what you know to be true does not match what you put in the headline. This would not make a difference except that, as we all know, many people never get past the headline.
2. You misspelled Fauci.
If it makes you feel any better, you are not alone. CNN (as quoted by Sutton) also misleads, and in the other direction. I don't know why people have to rewrite what was actually said, bearing in mind that this is not like guessing what Mike Lee said to a former president on a telephone call; Fauci spoke on national television.
PS, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw milk duds.
Whatever, dude. I woke up more hopeful today that I might get to soon visit my Mom, who has been homebound alone now for almost a year. So I’m gonna keep hoping I can do that sooner rather than later.
And you truly are turning into this boards new “After Eight”.

I join you in that hope and I am also more hopeful. I also believe a little bit of expectations management goes a long way so false hopes (e.g., that everyone will be able to walk into the Duane Reade down the block and get vaccinated in April) don't help. Sorry if that bugs you but that A8 part was a low blow, and unwarranted. And you know it. But it's ok. I'll just have Jake spank you a little harder next time.
@Sutton, tbc, the rewriting I was referring to was by CNN, not you. I only mentioned you in there to reference the link to CNN.
I watched Fauci's statement and he never used the world "Could". He said "I would Imagine that by the time we get to April". So CNN didn't directly quote him. And the video of him saying this is in the Post's article.
“I would imagine by the time we get to April, that will be what I would call for, you know, for better wording, open season,” Fauci said. “Namely, virtually everybody and anybody in any category could start to get vaccinated.” That is the direct quote.
Why there is an argument over this is kinda crazy. All articles are basically saying the same thing.
In Jersey it is already open to just about everybody. We can go on the state website or individual healthcare facilities sites and sign up for an appointment.
Discussion is not an argument. And since imagine is such a stupid word for an international pandemic, using the word "could" sounds a lot better and makes much more sense.
And I doubt "just about anyone" in Jersey can get a shot. Source
"In Jersey it is already open to just about everybody. We can go on the state website or individual healthcare facilities sites and sign up for an appointment."
Not true. In many parts of NJ it is still virtually impossible to get an appointment to get vaccinated. My 79 yo mother with several pre existing conditions has still not bee able to get an appointment and the sign up system is a disaster.

Yup the system is a disaster but we can all sign up. Getting an appointment is hard but is open. That was my point. I am well out of the "guidelines" and am in for an appointment in my area. Don't know if you even saw the problem in Patterson where people were lined up and they decided to go back to people in their 70's and up for 2 days. Open to the rest the rest of the days. It was on the news a few weeks ago. But whatever. And who cares about Sutton's "source". I live here. I follow it. I know.
Not going anywhere Sutton. So stay on your horse. You are just being nasty and combative. If you didn't agree with JC's post, you could have addressed it in a more mature way. And I am not your "sweets". You should read my signature over and over and apply it.
Hahaha. My source is the covid information for the state of New Jersey. It's hilarious you refuse to click and read who is eligible and who is not. You are clearly lying and you were called out. Love to see it.
And only men over 50 use the words "it's not becoming" when referring to (and only to) a female. It's sexist, antiquated and lame. You would never tell a man that and I won't be entertaining that. Ever.
Oh, and it's "couldn't care less". Saying you could care less means you could, in fact, care less.
