  1. I’m wondering what matters the most: - the share of vaccinated people among the total population - the share of vaccinated people *among the groups that are the most susceptible of developing the severe form* Both numbers could be vastly different I suppose 1/3

      If people that are the most likely to die/go to ICU are vaccinated first, I’m guessing it could reduce the pressure on the health system fairly quickly And if correct, it means the total number of vaccinated people isn’t necessarily the best indicator to look at 2/3

        Deep down, it’s a dynamic optimization problem: how to use the limited number of doses to have the maximum impact? I don’t make any claims here, just collecting some thoughts 3/3
