I'm currently working a vaccination site on the east coast. We do about 2,000+ vaccinations a day. I worked at a site last month that did 3,000+ a day. And this is just one of hundreds of mass vaccination sites. We're gonna knock this out...

I was refreshing the CDC site for a while figuring today would be our 3 million day. Hoping to see that 104 million (we were at 101 million) and be happy with that. When I saw "105.7 million" I was like "what the actual hell?"
I thought US peak day would be 4 million at the most optimistic not blow right past that at 4.6 million, holy crap

Wow, that's a jaw dropping number. I thought we'd break 3 million for the first time. I didn't expect to jump from 2.9 million to 4.6 million in a single day.
The people who've said we'd get to 3 or 4 million a day were right. Even if this drops again (which it probably will, especially for the Mon/Tues numbers), it will almost certainly stay in the 2-3.5 range.
