Who should get a coronavirus vaccine first?

It’s likely that health care workers will be the first to get a vaccine when it’s available, and they probably should. Physicists who work on network theory, though, have another way of thinking about vaccine distribution. To reduce the spread quickly, you need to find the social butterflies, the people at the center of networks. If you asked everyone to name a single acquaintance, it’s likely you’ll reach the superspreaders in a community quickly. And if you vaccinate them first, that could halt the spread of coronavirus in record time.

*******

Hey, not just physicists. Mathematical sociologists, engineers, statisticians, etc

[David Eric Smith]

Vaccinate them or put them in solitary.  

Social butterflies in the time of cholera.

I know why the caged social butterfly sings.

The thorn social butterflies.

The health care workers really are owed more than they can ever be repaid.  Just as trump is.

[Roger Critchlow-2]

WGBH, the PBS local channel, put up a graphic last night showing that 40% of nurses weren't sure they'd get vaccinated even if it were available.
