I Was a Military COVID Planner. The Vaccine Rollout Is Going to Be a Nightmare.

Before I retired from the Army, I served as a COVID crisis planner at NORTHCOM, where we were terrified of a potential “COVICANE.” Luckily, a major hurricane did not deliver a Katrina- or Harvey-like hit to a big city facing a coronavirus outbreak this year, at least on the scale we feared.
