Good to hear. My wife had a positive patient with no mask cough in her face Monday. Waiting to see how the combo of double mask and one dose of vaccine works with that.
It should work well I just tested negative for Covid single n95 and one pfizer shot. We were within 4 feet of each other in a tranport twice in one day (dialysis) and they had a cough.

Got an email last night about making an appointment for the vaccine for those over 75. Then today, before I could even talk to my parents about it, the site and phone line were closed as they have already run out of doses.

I have two friends who recently got vaccinated. They both are "health care workers", one is a psychology professor in a teaching hospital and the other is a manager of a pharmacy. Neither see patients or interact with the public.

Vermont doesn't seem to be doing anything visible...
Meaning Vermont hasn't deemed folks over 70 as eligible for vaccination? Or something else?

My dad is in AZ, and they're not anything for seniors according to him. But his permanent address is in Colorado, so he's looking into coming home soon not only for vaccination purposes but also for other doc appointments and such.

They haven't gotten past starting on health care providers.

Sounds like my flu shot a few years back. Next day I got better fast, but I got the shot in the morning and towards the end of the day I was starting to go downhill and spent the night with bad chills.

My 2nd shot was Thursday. Felt fine until about midnight. Then alternating hot/cold/hot/cold. Actual temp. Whole body achy. Lasted a few hours, then was just achy all over most of Friday. Felt fine waking up this (Saturday) morning.

According to one of the online tool that tell you approximately when your vaccination window is.... Canukistani, 56 yrs, no special group. Expected date range is between end of July and Sept.

There are 1 million Sinopharm vaccines coming my way this month. AstraZeneca´s are coming in sept/october.

So, get the chinese vaccine june/july... or wait for astrazeneca until next x-mas?
 
I have been trying to figure out for roughly a week why Addison County has been suffering exponential growth in infections. It turns out that the source has been that Victory Baptist Ministries, 862 US-7, Vergennes, VT 05491, 3.4 miles from our house, conducted full blown unprotected Jebusmas ceremonies. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on, I hope that they all die lingering deaths.

The discretion that county sheriffs have exhibited in not enforcing shit during the pandemic is a legit topic, that's not incorrect. But beating people up and killing them ain't it.


Perhaps you guys should just put the Constitution on hold for a year or two ... or as fit to whomever is calling the shots at the moment. :rolleyes:

that's what cops do on a regular basis, certainly last summer


I remember your outrage clearly.


It sounded like:

I think you could make the legal case that, during a pandemic for which no vaccine/cure is known yet, not wearing PPE in public places constitutes "endangerment" of others, and thus deserving a civil/penal punishment.

That would be perfectly legal and constitutional, just like public intoxication/DUI/reckless driving charges are.

Things have devolved a bit since you were last in the states. There are approximately 70 million people here who are completely detached from reality in all respects other than basic human functions and operate almost solely on emotional stimuli. What you are describing is something that they are incapable of, reason. They loose it when confronted for not taking the pandemic seriously. Every week we see video or read about someone getting beaten up over a mask.

heard a story on npr yesterday that at certain grocery stores in dc and la (maybe safeway and giant?) they occasionally will announce anyone who's in the store who wants a shot can get one if they have excess so as not to waste them. can't find a link to the story at the moment though.

and yeah, fuck those who don't wear masks in public places. don't see it in charlotte but the second you get outside the city...whew. selfish narrow minded assholes.

Read today that Greensboro is now one of the worst cities for new cases with a 50% increase since last week.

I have stopped going anywhere other than the studio and gas pump. Harris Teeters delivers groceries and Amazon has just about everything else.

Good news though, my dad has an appointment for a vaccination next week at the VA. I have some logistics to work out about getting him to the right place. Need to make sure there is someone to escort my legally blind father without me going into the building.

Not sure when Mom will get her's as our state has already hit snags with sticking the old folks.

My brother in Candakistan learned his room-mate is positive, he's still negative. If anyone needs it, someone that has to live with someone that is positive for it. Well, that and rich people.
