Can I drive to NV to get it if CA is lagging?

Also I didn't realize that poking around in women's business all day was so essential.

Congrats!

Congrats!

Vaccine administration is apportioned by state, so you will not likely be able to get vaccinated outside of your state of residence.

Your suggestion that doctors who take care of women are less essential than doctors who take care of men might be considered a little old-fashioned in some circles.

Isn't like 99% of your job telling them "yep that's a wart"? Seems like something one could do over Zoom pretty easy.

Does this have anything to do with the specific vaccine being offered? Is it Sputnik V?

Maybe that’s what happened at 99% of your mom’s OB/GYN visits.

So in the three weeks since the vaccine was approved about 50,000 people have died in the US from coronavirus.

Just for comparison’s sake, many have died from side effects of the vaccine?

That would be a big fat goose egg. I can't understand why there isn't 95 per cent uptake on Pfizer a/o Moderna vaccines. I'd take either even if I were 18 years old and in good health.

Wait, what? He was online in the last 3 weeks?

He was MIA since September fantasy drafts.

Wow, you are right, there was activity on his account, but no posts since September.

Most everyone has been fine. One coworker was bedridden for a day but able to come in the next day.

Guy at the haircut place tells me the governor (CO) is allowing restaurants to open at 25% capacity for indoor seating.

Seems like progress, I hope it doesn't explode.

Let's see if anything comes of this...

Portuguese health worker, 41, dies two days after getting the Pfizer covid vaccine as her father says he 'wants answers'

For UK folk, I found this site interesting - https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map

My area went from 'Suppressed' at the start of Dec. to 'Tier 4' and 'Dark Blue' by the end.

I blame the Londoners for grinching up my Xmas.

South Africa apparently now has a new strain of Covid that is different from the UK strain.

I sure hope the vaccine works on these new strains, otherwise it seems things could continue to be bad/get even worse.

The impact of these mutations on the healthcare system is not fully appreciated by most. UK, US, South Africa all headed for drastic lockdowns and I would not be surprised to see it go global.

Hopefully the vaccines will work against these mutations otherwise we are ****ed.

I saw some posts a while back that said "ZOMG 6 people in the Pfizer trials died!". Turns out 4 of the 6 had the placebo and the other 2 deaths had nothing to do with the vaccine. People die sometimes.
