We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

Fine line to walk. I can't get into it here because some of it gets very political.

But I agree, quit bullshitting and tell people what is what. The other side of that is people have to live with whatever choice they make. The days of "well you might infect me" are coming to an end. Get your arm stuck and eliminate the need to worry about others.

Coronavirus Vaccine Doses That Were Held Back Now Being Released

U.S. health officials are releasing second doses of coronavirus vaccines that had been held back for booster shots and administering the vaccine to anyone over age 65 and people with pre-existing health conditions, according to a senior administration official, a shift from its earlier guidance to prioritize doses for second injections and for health-care workers.

I just got my vaccination scheduled this morning. Get my first tomorrow morning and the second 3 weeks later. Excited to get it, but also hoping this experience and process becomes more streamlined in the coming weeks and months.

I had to fill out multiple forms online with local health dept, have a screening phone call to schedule, which both aren't a big deal. But the next instructions are to download an app, create a profile on the app, open the app outside the facility before appointment to check-in. None of that is an issue at all for me, but I have to imagine the elderly population as well as those without smartphones/technology illiterate will struggle.

I don't think eliminating the need to worry about others is ever a good strategy.

Just don't bullshit people. There are some side effects potentially. They're rarely severe and usually only last a day or two max. The ingredients aren't going to cause genetic changes or whatever bullshit of the day is.

But there is a risk. Just like there is a risk of getting covid. Life is a risk. This helps you minimize the risk of one thing. For me personally, it was worth it to my family and my patients.

To others maybe it's not. This is different than the risk of infecting others though, but it is what it is.

Once you have vaccinations available for everyone, there shouldnt' be any restrictions anywhere. There also won't be any assistance and such if you get Covid, but thats the way it will be.

Apparently CA is an absolute clusterfuck and way behind pace. Some nurses still don't even know when they're going to get it.

I tested positive this morning. Thought it was just allergies but I never have allergies this time of year so that raised a red flag. Then last night I noticed I was having some shortness of breath as well so I went to the doctor this morning just to be sure.

Good...maybe my mom can get one now. I'm certain if she would catch this she'd be a goner. Obese, hypertensive, high cholesterol, congestive heart failure...yeah

A friend of mine who is a physician made an interesting point the other day. He said that people will likely become more enthusiastic if the death statistics include vaccination status going forward. Once people start seeing that the deaths are increasingly unvaccinated people, that'll be compelling. I hadn't thought of that.

Of course, the total deaths will go down too, which should be good evidence, but if the proportion of unvaccinated people outweighs their proportion in society, that's pretty ironclad evidence.

I've been wondering if I have the "asymptomatic" version. I've been a bit congested, but it feels weird. Tiny little sore throat tings every now and then. Stomach a little gurgly. No fever though. I'm probably just being paranoid.

A big part of the job is making sure the Broncos ingest so many edibles they don't really care that their team sucks.
