I like it, but that still depends on states efficiently distributing vaccines and getting shots in arms.
Texas is about to have its own coronavirus variant guys! Come on let’s gooooo [slams beer and crushes beer can on head]
I believe they shut down the testing sites in the biggest areas because those are becoming the FEMA vaccine sites and the testing sites moved.. might’ve had an impact ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No idea if I posted this tool but it’s been super helpful for finding Florida appointments https://www.vaccinespotter.org/
100 hundred cigarettes is an insanely low number, juxtaposed to the fact that they were advertising cigs in sports illustrated when we were kids

In the defense of religion, American Christians may be the worst followers of any religion in the entire world
Last night I showed my wife a couple articles about athletes with mild or asymptomatic cases needing to be shut down because they developed myocarditis. Earlier tonight I walked into a conversation my wife and her mom were having about the need to alert her sister before she gets vaccinated so the sister knows to skip her low energy tennis club for a little while.
Previously it was that volunteers for covid distribution sites got a chance to get an extra dose if there were any extra at the end of the day. Now if you volunteer you are automatically scheduled to get a dose. On an unrelated note, I am volunteering on Thursday afternoon.
I'm trying to parse this, does your wife's sister think your wife will be contagious because she'll be vaccinated or what?
Asked in the info thread but does anyone know if the J&J immune response/side effects are as bad as the moderna/pfizer second shot day after?
The side effects of the 2nd dose kicked in last night. I had a pretty rough fever, body aches and very fatigued. Finally went to bed at 7 pm.
I have not seen anything in particular, but I have to imagine it isn't as intense as the second shots.
Just got dose 1. Went to broward health and they have a 20% no show/ cancellation record of the 1100 they do a day
No, I didn’t write that very well. My wife and MIL want my sister-in-law to take a break from rec league tennis after she’s vaccinated. They somehow twisted our myocarditis convo into something that would impact my SIL after receiving a vaccine. It doesn’t make any sense.
IIRC, life insurance asks about smoking back 7-10 years, but it’s been a long time since that life for me.
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/02/how-public-health-messaging-backfired/618147/ thought this was a good write up (fully expect to be informed that this lady is actually an insane person and i shouldnt have posted)
Fauci has been good about a lot of things but he really needs to shut his fucking mouth about guesstimates when we won't have to wear masks or get back to normal. Him saying we may have to continue to wear masks through the end of 2021 was just moist medium-rare red meat for people to seize on the narrative that getting a vaccine won't change anything.
Dumb because it's a big hassle and they should take people on their word or that it's easy to get your PCP to sign off on some BS?
Access to PCPs/physicians for something like this is heavily weighted by socioeconomic status. But sure, there could also be BS.
I have a doctor I see frequently and qualify under the FL guidelines but have not been able to get a simple note from him for 3 days. That note only became available publicly this morning so people will likely have to wait until next week to use that form in a lot of cases. Some doctors still also aren’t clear on what constitutes high risk and are not comfortable signing it. I get that they don’t want healthy people gaming the system but I think the forms will cause more problems because people will make appointments and show up and you either send them away and then need to find someone else to give that vaccine to/throw it away or you just give it to them anyway.
All true. But it sure feels like supply will quickly catch up to demand, so just put them in as many arms as possible as fast as possible.
So as an AZ healthy adult (childhood asthma? but I run 25++ miles a week), what is my timeline now? If we have all the doses by end of May, am I as a willing and proactive recipient going to perhaps scratch late April?
Per the lady on the phone at DHEC Greenville was already booked up for next week. But I'm only having to drive over to Easley so it's not that bad at all.
