    January 13, 2021 Governor Gavin Newsom Office of the Governor State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom, Your recently-announced goal of distributing one million vaccines within 10 days is the most urgent priority facing the State. To ensure the efficient delivery of vaccines, we respectfully request your consideration of the following ideas and requests from our constituent communities: 1) The incoming Biden Administration announced last week its aim to release nearly all available vaccine to states. As counties continue to report uncertainty about the quantity of vaccines that they can expect over the next several weeks, and to better prepare for a larger roll out, including staffing and how to set up sites, please provide the following information to counties: a. A reliable forecast for expected vaccine quantity over the next four weeks; b. Updated forecasts at least weekly, if there are large variations; c. Supply updates on a 7-day rolling basis for future weeks, after the initial four week period is complete. 2) Please build on your recent efforts to expand authorization for who can administer the vaccines and how they can reach vaccine sites efficiently by taking the following actions: a. Complete the authorization of nursing students, retired medical professionals, and firefighters to administer vaccine shots; b. Expand the use of the National Guard in delivering vaccines across the state, and charge its members with medical training to administer vaccines. 3) While you have announced a plan for the necessary $300 million to distribute vaccines and there is pending guidance from the federal government about additional vaccine distribution funding, please reassure counties that reimbursements for their role in the vaccination process will be forthcoming.

Many observers saw the third century crisis as a decisive period of transition to Medieval History. In a highly rhetorical and suggestive passage in his Birth 0/ the Western Economy, Robert Latouche describes the second and third quarters of the third century AD. as " .. a sinister age, the least known of the whole history of Rome .. " and he teIls us: "After the reign of the Severi we seem to plunge into a long tunnel, to emerge only at the beginning of the Late Empire under Diocletian, and when we step out again into daylight unfamiliar country lies all about US".I In later decades the third century crisis was seen as a complex historical process, brought about by the interaction of many different factors. Geza Alföldy summarlses the various aspects of the crisis that dominated the history of the Roman empire from 249 to 284 in nine points: the switching from the rule of an emperor to that of a military despot, the general instability, the growing power of the armies, the increasing influence of the military provinces such as those along the Danube, social shifts, economic problems, the decrease in and unequal distribution of the population, a religious and moral crisis and invasions of foreign peoples in practically all border regions and even beyond, into the heartlands of the empire.
