Fresh Market is the Ritz-Carlton of grocery stores. Publix does not let me pour a free cup of coffee to drink while I shop. Also Fresh Market has better roasted peanuts.
Publix is like the Marriot Resort.
Breaking news:
PORTLAND, Ore — Oregon and other states will not receive increased shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine from the national stockpile next week because no such stockpile exists, Gov. Kate Brown said early Friday morning.
In a series of tweets, Brown said the information was confirmed to her by General Gustave Perna, who is the chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s effort to quickly develop and distribute a COVID-19 vaccine.
“I am demanding answers from the Trump administration,” Brown said. “I am shocked and appalled that they have set an expectation on which they could not deliver, with such grave consequences.”
Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Director Patrick Allen wrote a letter to Human Services Secretary Alex Azar after learning about the lack of a national stockpile and demanded an explanation. “If this information is accurate, we will be unable to begin vaccinating our vulnerable seniors on Jan. 23 as planned,” Allen wrote.

From the NYT:
When Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced this week that the federal government would begin releasing coronavirus vaccine doses held in reserve for second shots, no such reserve existed, according to state and federal officials briefed on distribution plans. The Trump administration had already begun shipping out what was available beginning at the end of December, taking second doses directly off the manufacturing line.
Now, health officials across the country who had anticipated their extremely limited vaccine supply as much as doubling beginning next week are confronting the reality that their allocations will remain largely flat, dashing hopes of dramatically expanding access for millions of elderly people and those with high-risk medical conditions. Health officials in some cities and states were informed in recent days about the reality of the situation, while others are still in the dark.
