Seriousness The NEW Covid Vaccination Poll - Page 13

BetterRed · 04-26-2021, 08:28 PM

After spending time with the quarantined peace keeper the maid then went to a funeral attended by 500 - hence the lockdown in Suva etc.

Our public broadcaster is conflating Fiji with India, you'd think they would know that the Fijian military has very few members from the local Indian community - it is almost entirely Melanesian. Why should our public broadcaster know that - because the Australian Air Force provides Fiji with long distance military transport <sigh>.

Well, Nova Scotia's on lockdown.

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control and stupid policies, the day before the lockdown started I had to go to a vital app't that couldn't be rescheduled/done over the phone. I was double-masked. other people in the building weren't. So I'm pretty scared.

Oh yeah, and there were exposures at several of the grocery stores in my area. So chances are good that someone in my apartment building will bring it home too.

I got my 2nd shot of Moderna a few days ago. I did have fatigue the next day and had to go home to rest, but at least I didn't have any significant pain. Some people I've talked to had a lot of muscle pain from it.

‘It’s like buying candy’: Expert says it’s easy for Canadians to get vaccinated in U.S. Here’s how

I don’t think this headline is fully accurate.

On the minus side, you don’t need to have a dual citizen in the car to buy candy.

On the plus, unlike candy, this is almost sure to be free.

FWIW: Ashley Barty got vaccinated in the US courtesy of the WTA.

My 90 year old mom had her second Pfizer on Tuesday, with no issues. I get mine tomorrow morning.

Hubby felt icky for 4-5 days after his second Moderna, but was unsure if it was the shot or just stress from work. That just leaves our daughter and spouse left to get their second shots. Daughter gets hers on the 3rd, not sure about DIL...I know it's scheduled but don't know when.

Other than the grand kids, that's our whole family done.

Nova Scotia:

146 new cases today, total of 946 in a population of under a million. 46 in hospital, 8 in ICU. mRNA vaccines are now available to people over 50.

Apparently some people went out to celebrate getting their first vaccine dose and promptly got themselves infected. Good job...

Deskisamess · 05-03-2021, 06:49 PM

I got my second Pfizer shot on Saturday morning. I felt "icky" on Sunday, but woke up today and felt fine. My arm only hurt the first day but not badly. The nurse did a great job, I didn't feel a thing. Once again the organization of the local health department was top drawer. I was in the door and had the injection within 5 minutes, waited 15, and was done.

Ohio's numbers are dropping. Our life is very normal, except for wearing masks when in a store. Unless something really changes, it's expected the mask mandate will be removed on June 1st.

timebug · 05-04-2021, 03:43 AM

Had both of mine now,and according to the Docor who administered the second dose, I am 'as safe as can be'* under the circumstances!

* 'Safe' of course, being a relative term!

astrangerhere · 05-04-2021, 06:27 AM

My wife had her second on Wednesday week and it knocked her out flat for a few days. high fever, chills, flu-like soreness. She wasn't really herself again until Sunday.

Thankfully, my town is not lifting the mask mandates yet. Only about 40% of my state has gotten vaccinated, and we'll have an influx of students from all over in early August for the start of the college semester.

CWatkinsNash · 05-09-2021, 07:41 PM

Got my second Pfizer shot about 5 hours ago! I'm happy, relieved, thankful. My arm is sore, about the same as last time so far. I'm also tired, but that could just be from being out in the world. Don't think I'll know about any other effects till late tonight or tomorrow.

I once again stocked up on wine on my way out of Kroger so I'm ready for my next virtual pub night this coming Friday. And I'm taking off all this week so if the shot wipes me out for a few days, I can just eat, hydrate and sleep as needed.

Sirtel · 05-13-2021, 02:01 PM

I decided to get the Pfizer vaccine. Vaccination is now available to all age groups here and my first shot is scheduled for the next Friday.

We still have pretty high infection rate. There have been several cases in the apartment house where I live. And I regularly use public transport or Bolt, as I have no car. Also I'm in close contact with my nieces and their sons 2-3 times a week. One of my nieces works in a veterinary clinic and the boys go to school. So they all are in daily contact with many other people.

So far I've been lucky. I hope it will stay that way. My sister and her husband have both had Covid twice, last spring and recently in April. They have recovered quite well, ghods be thanked.

My 84-years-old Mom, who lives in a nursing home, has managed to avoid the virus. She had both Pfizer shots in winter.

ownedbycats · 05-13-2021, 02:31 PM

Nova Scotia stopped offering AZ vaccines due to blood clots just a few days after saying they were perfectly safe. ok then...

issybird · 05-13-2021, 02:42 PM

The CDC has just announced that the fully vaccinated can stop wearing masks almost everywhere; the exceptions are healthcare-related facilities and public transportation of every sort, plus stations/terminals.

Huh. This feels odd. There’s still a mask mandate in my town, but is it time to go barefaced when I venture elsewhere?

DiapDealer · 05-13-2021, 02:54 PM

My state just released (yesterday) a statement that our own state-wide mask mandate was to be dropped on June 2nd. Nothing like confusion.

On another note: all Ohioans over 18 are automatically registered for a series of 5 weekly lotteries with a million dollar prize. The catch? You must be able to prove you've had at least one dose of the vaccine to collect your prize. There's 5 full-ride scholarships up for grabs for younger folk.
