BE KIND, REWIND. Nothing says the digital age has arrived like the last gasp of a DVD rental chain.

Making the cut. An advisory committee for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has made the tough call on recommendations for those who will receive the next round of Covid-19 vaccines. At a meeting Sunday, the panel decided that 30 million frontline essential workers like first responders, teachers and grocery store workers, should be in the next tranche, along with people at least 75 years old.

If states follow the committee guidelines, 20 million essential workers not considered on the front lines, like bank tellers and drivers for rideshare apps, will have to wait a bit longer. That’s despite companies like Uber Technologies and Amazon.com lobbying to help get their employees moved up in the queue. The debate over who should get the vaccine first is set to become more heated. (By Gina Chon)
