Oh, and Fauci is back from the dead too... :p
The plan in reality is pretty basic stuff, but we'll take it. The win for the country is that this is a priority over election results, it feels more transparent, it's driven by science.
At the run-rate of vaccinations now, we'd be waiting till 7/22 to reach herd immunity levels. Thats a long, long time and > deaths.
Big question is whether they can execute against even this? We really need the J&J 1 shot to have high efficacy and be available in large doses. The Pfizer and Moderna 2 shots wont be enough to get it done and they are difficult to execute.
Fauci thinks we "could" get to 85% vaccinated by fall and that my friends is herd immunity.

I sure hope so. Now can we take half the money we spend on missiles and put that into cyber warfare and infectious disease programs?
Is "no mask/no social-distancing" part of the Biden plan?
As well as illegal? Per his own XO edict?
"Wearing masks isn't a partisan issue — it's a patriotic act that can save countless lives. That's why I signed an executive order today issuing a mask mandate on federal property. It's time to mask up, America."
— President Biden (@POTUS) January 21, 2021
And all the hugging? Dont they know that's anti-science?
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/lockdown-rules-likely-ignored-vaccine-rollout-b900242.html
"Britons should not hug their children even once they’ve been vaccinated, an expert has stressed, amid warnings that millions are likely to begin ignoring coronavirus lockdown rules once they have had the jab.
Scientists have expressed concern that recipients of a Covid-19 vaccine will feel more relaxed about social distancing, which could “offset” the benefits of the national vaccination programme."
I think you are allowed to go massless with your "POD", that's his family that he has been with in the same household. Move along nothing to see here.
