Happens all the time. And I dont know where they come from.

I am an introvert as well but this is getting old even for me. Ohio won’t even give an estimate for when people under 65 can get it.

Yikes, fingers crossed for you Doug.

Me, too. I was enjoying adult pencil & paint by numbers, as well as staying home & reading before the COVID 19 panic.

Haven’t attended a wedding or baby shower in ages, either. But government & various celebrities encouraging others to ā€œstay home, if you canā€ & forced lockdowns of ā€œinessential businessesā€ I have always considered wrong.

Here’s a schedule for various OH populations:

Most of the world has already approved the AstraZeneca vaccine. The U.S. dragging it’s feet. There are tens of millions of AZ doses being stored in freezers in the U.S. waiting to be released. Biden needs to get moving and make these available.

I don’t get the foot dragging. I really don’t.

My wife is eligible in Tn now that they lowered it to 70 and above (she’s a couple years older than me) but she’s waiting on Johnson and Johnson for the 1 shot.

Wish i had the option of wait or not. They are saying maybe march for 65 and above so maybe not much longer.

Absurd. As millions of doses sit in a freezer. Unused.

J&J is a nice vaccine…highly effective against the regular COVID Virus…but it may not carry the same efficaciousness that the Pfizer and Moderna have for the variants overall.

I am done with my two Moderna shots. I have til next Wednesday and I will be protected to the full extent that the virus can offer. I am happy about that.

Been there, still no estimate for anyone under 65 who doesn’t have one of their listed medical conditions, except for teachers and group home type people. No estimate for someone like me who is under 65 and has an underlying condition according to their doctor, that they didn’t put on their list.

That is really a comprehensive list and covers quite a lot. My wife could get her vaccination in Ohio…instead of lucking into getting one on the sly because my work had extras that they were not going to waste. Compared to Indiana…Ohio has it going on…

Not vaccinated, perfectly fine letting older people get the vaccine or those with pre existing conditions. Plus after being infected early on hypothetically the body should respond better if I ever did get reinfected so am in no hurry.

I received my first Pfizer 10 days ago. The county school system I drive a school bus for started shatting themselves when the goobernor of MD proclaimed the opening of schools 3/1 for hybrid learning and employees other than teachers & administrators had not been vaccinated!
LOL So they herded us on busses to a Fairgrounds complex and we got in lines and hit us up! Other than what appears to be a 3rd eye growing on my cheek I feel great!
LOL

Axx, I would agree with your situation. I think you and anyone else, should have a lasting immunity to this. I call attention to two studies I have read…one in Great Britain and the other here in the US. Doctors and nurses who were infected and recovered early on in March and April and even May have been followed and show a consistently high almost exact same level of antibodies every time they get tested…it’s because they are consistently being ā€œre-infectedā€ as it were with the virus through patient contact, and are not getting symptomatic.

This hypothetically means that those medical personnel’s immune systems have developed a memory for the virus and whenever it is contacted by the virus the immune system responds with a strong immune response wiping out the virus’ spikes, before they get a chance to attach and infect. This is the same thing the mRNA Vaccines do…and it is hoped that the vaccines get the immune system to react the same way.

Either way…best of luck to ya.

I got my 2nd shot In late Jan.
My daughter got her first shot 2 weeks ago.
We both got it cause we are volunteering at a Dept of Health POD 1 to 2 times a week for 8 hour days and end of day, staff get vaccinated (Which i felt guilty about at first, but it makes sense since when we are volunteering we are in a small area with the most vulnerable and high risk).

My son got his from pure luck. Happened to be outside studying at his college when at the end of the day, some medical folks walked out from a state run POD on Campus and said they had a few dozen extra dosages that had to be used in the next 30 mins, would he like to get one.

My wife is the odd one out.

My wife and I are on multiple waiting lists in Colorado, but I’m not holding my breath.

Good luck.

That’s true.

2nd shot tomorrow

I got my first shot last week in San Diego. My mom and all of her friends have either had both of theirs or scheduled for the 2nd shot this week.
