Covid-19

Where are you? My county (SLO in Calif) dropped the age to 16 this past week. Granted getting an app't is a clusterfuck but seems to be getting better
Portland.

I'm under 65, have no underlying health conditions, and am not employed as a first responder or frontline worker. April 19th is the date I'll be eligible for phase 2 which is anyone over the age of 16.

I'm in no hurry. I'd prefer to wait for any potential side effects to surface anyway. I'm not an anti-vaxxer and the vaccine is most likely safe for 99% of the population. But I can wait to see if people turn into flesh eating mobs of lunatics before I get the shot. :mrgreen:

I actually think my lady and I had it way back in the beginning as she was traveling to Kirkland Washington just south of Snohomish county where the first case of Covid was detected in the United States. We were sick for about a week and I had a really nasty rash for awhile. The rash is what makes me think we had it as it's a symptom of being infected for some and I've never had a rash like it in my life. We might not have had it as we never got tested but I'm somewhat confident that had we been tested we would have been positive. Maybe I'm now immune like the Omega Man.

  • Small Blisters: This type of rash when associated with COVID-19 has often presented itself in middle-aged patients, and accounts for 9 percent of all cases involving a rash. These small blisters usually appear on the trunk and the limbs of the body and are often itchy and uncomfortable. Also, small blister types of rash can be used as an indicator to suggest that an individual has COVID-19 because it typically appears early on in the course of the infection. Early diagnosis can help individuals from unknowingly passing the virus to others.

Over 100 million people have received the vaccine in the US, I believe if there were problems they would have been identified by now.
Oh I know. But I'm still in no hurry and am patient to wait for my spot in line. Others are more at risk than me which makes me sick to see young healthy people gaming the system to jump in line.

Good luck, sincerely; but get the shot when eligible; lot's of reports of folks getting re-infected w/covid esp. with the extreme mutability of it

Oh I'm going to get it as soon as I can. But I have to wait my turn. I'm not going to game the system like many have and cut in line. All I have to do is claim I have an underlying condition and I could get one.

In fact they have a website to check eligibility and if I say I'm a smoker or have a substance abuse problem I'm eligible now. But I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to take a vaccination that someone else more high risk should be getting.

OVery efficient assembly line.
It is good that your experience included minimal stress.:bigjoint:

Even though it was a benefit to get the vaccination the process proved to be infinitely more painful than the procedure.

The administration of the vaccine deserved a righteous cursing.:cuss:

All things considered I chose the better part of valor and took it in stride, then walked out 3 minutes after the Event Horizon. ;-)
