The US (by all accounts) will have 25 million doses (50 million, actually, but it is a two shot dose, one 21 days following the first, so 25 million people) in the very near future. It will first be given to Doctors, Nurses, First Responders, front liners. Then it will go down through those most susceptible, elderly in nursing facilities, those with underlying vulnerabilities, etc.

It will be well into 2021 before it becomes available to "normal, healthy" individuals.

I think the 50 million doses is a global number, so as best I can tell the US won't get all of them. I'm not sure on what the exact distribution strategy will be

No, actually, the world-wide number is higher. The 25 million was the total for the US given in an interview on 60 Minutes, Sunday night.

Happy to be wrong about that, thanks for the correction

Still a very small number for a country of 330,000,000 people, unfortunately.

You determine how this reads to you. For me, the writing is on the wall.


Is it your intention to play four seasons of basketball at William & Mary?

I’m currently just trying to figure everything out. There’s just so many unknowns and uncertainty. I think being able to be home in New Hampshire has allowed me to process a lot of stuff and figure out what’s coming next. Right now, I’ve just been focusing on my semester that’s about to start up. -Eva

Next woman up......

Wagner is averaging 20.7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.4 steals per game

Hodgson averaged 20.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game last season.

I think she stepped up pretty well. It would have been fun to see both on the court at the same time.

Eva Hodgson, interviewed in today Times-Dispatch, talked about her decision not to play this season. The part I found interesting is, when asked if she planned to play again for W&M, she danced around the question as smoothly as a Prima Ballerina. So, the transfer option must still be in her mind...at least, a little.

As strange as this may seem, if she graduates this May she may be thinking about playing professionally. Not sure if she's close to the caliber of WNBA, but certainly overseas. I think if she wants a free grad degree then it could be here or somewhere else. There was no reason to sit out this year due to eligibility concerns since it doesn't count. It had to be fear of illness/injury or something else. Either way, I hope she figures it out.

Not unexpected, Eva Hodgson enters the transfer portal. She is listed as a grad transfer.

WHAT?!? I thought she was scared of Covid. Like I said months ago, I bet she wouldn’t be sitting out right now if she played for UConn instead of us. Bye Felicia.

Libby Underwood, too. Rather than challenge Eva's integrity, I suggest we thank her for being an awesome student-athlete. Both graduated--or will graduate--from W&M and owe us no apology.

Just forwarding a tweet. Don't throw your anger at me, but doesn't this sound familiar to rumors we read when Tony was fired?

"As far as I’ve heard, the relationship between Coach Swanson and Hodgson deteriorated over the last offseason. There were whispers starting in like Sept that this was likely."

Interesting. Wouldn't be the first time Swanson and a player didn't get along
