COVID-19 2020

Yea but an overwhelming percentage of 75+ year old Americans - and people working with elderly and vulnerable- should be vaccinated by then...

True. The death rate may be lower, but the infection rate will spike.

Fingers crossed all the people around my anti-vax mom in the senior living center get the vax.

I am trying to be upbeat...

While not ideal, that seems like a much better scenario

Just got me second shot. Awaiting the “Moderna 2 flu” that half my office has had this week.

Thanks.  Getting my first shot tonight and planning on having a hangover tomorrow so I don't notice the difference.  I'm going to go ape shit after the second one and really live it up!

First one gave me really bad arm pain like I’d never had with any other shot/vaccination. Kept waiting for the dreaded symptoms after the second but never felt anything less than great. Had co-workers who I’ve never know to take a sick day take two and swear they thought they were going to die but zero from me. Luck of the draw, I guess.

Hope all goes well with your first. Let’s Napa it up after the Misses-es gets vaxed.

I was given the Pfizer vaccine so our experiences may differ.  The only thing I've felt thus far is that my arm feels like I threw an inning or two yesterday, which is a strange feeling for my right arm, being a leftie.

And we are always up for a trip to Wine Country (pandemic receding of course).

In Fairfax County, you can bump up on the list if you're 16-64 with a BMI of 25+. Of course I didn't discover this until a week after registration began, and my wife guilted me into not registering for several days after than. But in the end, I registered, and an somewhere at the end of a long list of 1B people.

Cool!


I didn’t bother to register yet.

I assume because he's an educator the same way I am a health-care hero.

CA values education.  We are considered the first in line for Tier 1B....

It's also by county, so while my 70+ year old parents in San Luis Obispo county have not been vaccinated, SF has moved on to tier 1B.  When I told my folks that I got my jab, they responded "Great, you've been going in to work every day, so that's important" much to the chagrin of my sisters. 

[hutch]

That’s great!

i'm 100% positive he's been kept isolated from the student body for years now, so the usefulness of vaccination is questionable in his case...
