Yes, far too many people down here. A couple weeks ago they were giving out 27000 Doses a day in our county!mickey wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 9:24 am Fill out a form on-line? I never did anything like that. Just heard (word of mouth) the health department would be giving
vaccines on January 6, so I showed up. Got the shot & got told to come back on February 3 plus don't forget to bring
the card showing I had the first shot already or they wouldn't give me the second shot.
There are some advantages to living in the least populated county in Floriduh. I think we are up to about 32,000 people now.
Bet the town you live in is larger than that!
EGADS! You are in Broward?!? Yes, WAAAY too many people down there!Floridian FX wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 9:47 amYes, far too many people down here.

I think we had to fill out the form because we went through Broward Health to get our appointment.
They just opened that up here in WI too ( pfizer only ) for 16 and 17 year olds. My oldest son who turns 18 next month got his first shot on Sunday - he's graduating from HS this year and going into EMT/Fire Science. He scored a part time job working in the ER of a local hospital this summer and they require a vaccine for all employees and it seems like a good thing to do anyway if he'll be hanging out at a hospital!
True that! Allergens are terrible this year....add sinus issues on top of side effects. I must drink 2 gallons of water daily.
I'll take those odds any day, especially when the cost is low (possibly feeling crappy for short time) and the potential risk ( death ) is measurable. I just lost another friend who was otherwise healthy and it took him out in about a week. We had a board meeting he attended via phone and said he wasn't feeling all that well and was going to get tested, 7 days later he died.
Had a crappy hours 12 through 24, alternately freezing or burning up, woke up every hour from midnight until 6. Now the fever has subsided, and I just have the fatigue and a headache.honyock wrote:I'm 3hrs post shot #2 of Pfizer.
I have a wee headache.
Probably not helping that all the palo verde and mesquite are in full on oom and it is windy as a mother again today.
I hope they are right. A good friend and old neighbor of mine was just hospitalized yesterday with the "newer" strain (confirmed), he's in his mid 40's and otherwise pretty much healthy. Not on a ventilator yet, hoping the therapy they are giving works before that. Based on what I'm hearing in our hospitals it seems like there are fewer people getting sick, but the ones that do are in general getting sicker than before.PoodlesAgain wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 7:49 pm The NYT has an article today about "exponential decay" of rate of infection.
That is, we experienced exponential rise, but same phenomenon will present itself on the way down, infection rate will drop fast, eventually leading to herd immunity. With a few spikes as things get relaxed, and a lingering slow tail.
