Seriousness The NEW Covid Vaccination Poll - Page 13

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...

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.

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!

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.
