Coronavirus

[lonestar]

Got my appointment for Monday. So fucking relieved.

[King Postwhore]

They moved my dad up to this Saturday.  I'm hoping to get the call as well.  I'm still waiting until April 10th for my first shot.

[lonestar]

What category are you Joe? 1C?

[King Postwhore]

1B.  Damn state sucks and are behind in NH

My heart condition puts me in 1B.

Ah, gotcha. I actually bypassed the state and county websites and went directly through Walgreens on a friend's suggestion yesterday and got an appointment within a day, after a few weeks of pointless searching through the gub'mint.

[bosk1]

RJ, are you having one of the 2-stage shots, or the single?

[lonestar]

RJ, are you having one of the 2-stage shots, or the single?

It's a two stage, and based on four weeks between appointments, I'd say it's the Moderna. I was talking with my mom earlier, and she says Sac county is still at 1A. Is that true?

[bosk1]

Yeah.  I'm not even thinking seriously about it yet, because it won't be my turn for awhile.  I'm hoping they can speed things up with Pfizer being about to be stored and shipped more normally now.

[lonestar]

Yeah, between that and J&J getting approved, it'll soon be more a people management thing then a supply chain thing I'd gather

[jingle.boy]

AZ was just approved up here.  That'll improve our supply, but the distribution (mostly here in Ontario) is an absolute shit-show.

I have been telling people to not wait on the Govt rollout but to do two things:

1) Go to your County Health Center and see if they have a way of getting on a waiting list. Do this in multiple counties close you.
2) Call your local Walgreen's or CVS
3) Get on as many waiting lists as you can (don't overdo it) and if you get called, let the others know so they can go onto the next person signed up

They informed me that I was in the 1B category yesterday and starting March 15th I would be eligible but I informed them earlier in the week that I already got the shot.

I think Missouri is doing better with the rollout but Gmiller may have a differing opinion.

Also, the one I've noticed is that you got to check them early in the day, everyday. I got my appointment at 5am, they were gone by 9. Today on a whim I checked the California MyTurn site at 7:30 and there were still 8 appt left for today. I guarantee if I checked now, they'd be gone. Set your alarms folks!!

[Stadler]

Florida's open up at 7:00 am; I've waited until filled four times and every time I was done by between 8:00 and 8:30 am.

[Tick]

One week into Covid. Not feeling any relief at all. This is beyond brutal folks. Get those shots.

Hot damn pal!!  Hope you recover as well as other DTFrs - Gary, Paul, and Ruslan.

Damn dude! Get better!

BTW - what are your symptoms?

[gmillerdrake]

Sorry to hear that Rich. I had 2-3 days of rough symptoms but all in all it was about a week of feeling 'off'. I hope you turn the corner soon 

[Lonk]

After weeks of trying to land an appointment, finally got one for March 17th

[lonestar]

Damn Rich, hope you get better soon bud.

[kirksnosehair]

Good luck with that, Tick.  Let us know how you're doing.


When my son got it he was sick for about a week but he didn't get his taste and smell back for almost 3 months. 

[lonestar]

Round one in the arm, microchip and all. No adverse effects so far other than an irresistible urge to tell everyone I got vaccinated.


It'll be like the new vegan...

Tick WTF? Hopefully you feel better man.

Round one in the arm

You mean when you walked in with the rest of the 65 year olds, they didn't even card you? 

[lonestar]

Funny thing, I got the shot through walgreens, but my insurance is Kaiser, who's been notoriously lagging in this process. When I was in line at walgreens, I got my notification from Kaiser to schedule. I'm guessing it's going to open up like a motherfucker from here on out, especially with J&J hitting the mix.

[TAC]

And you have your 2nd appointment?



My family gets our 2nd shot tomorrow. I can't wait. My wife has already gotten hers.

Yep, 2nd appt is on the 29th. It's more than the suggested 2 weeks for pfizer, the pharmacist said that's because of current supplies.

[TAC]

Isn't this such a mind fuck?

You wait and wait for your vaccination....and then you have to wait another damn month for the 2nd shot.

And at this point, we're early. Gonna be a long time before things are back to "normal" still.

[lonestar]

Yup, we're very early, normal is far off. Although I'm perfectly happy if traffic stays the way it is now, one good side of this bullshit.

Next thing you'll know, you'll like club music.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo.........


Seriously though, other than a sore Charley horse like arm, all is good.

[King Postwhore]

It's the second shot that throws most for a loop.

[gmillerdrake]

It's the second shot that throws most for a loop.

Honestly, not that I'm 'worried' about my second shot next week but I'm really hoping I don't have major side effects. I'm wondering how already having Covid will affect whatever side effects that may happen?

[Dublagent66]

If you've already had Covid, then you have the antibodies.  Why is a vaccine even necessary?

[Adami]

People get covid more than once. Antibodies don’t appear to last terribly long.
