Meanwhile, how are the Neanderthals doing?
Texas and Mississippi lifting their statewide mask mandates was chalked up to "neanderthal" thinking by President Joe Biden, but in the weeks following the easing of restrictions, the two states haven't yet seen a massive spike in COVID-19 cases.
At least 21 states are seeing a rise in COVID-19 cases, but Texas and Mississippi aren't among them, and neither is Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis has been criticized for the lack of statewide restrictions. With masks commonly believed to be one of the easiest preventative measures against COVID, it's possible that the lack of a spike in cases is attributable to people still being hesitant to gather and the increase in vaccinations.[/i][/b]
It’s also possible that this thing is just over.
Agreed. Between the people who have already had it, the people who have already been immunized, the people who already had natural immunity to it and were never going to get it anyway (and I'd still love to know the % of the population this is), and kids and young adults it's close to being over. They are cranking out so much vaccine now and getting it into millions of peoples arms everyday.
Have you been vaxxed? I have been told by a colleague that if you hang around this or that clinic everyday for a few days, you'll catch them with left-over doses and can get one. I'm assuming that, someway and somehow, if I wanted the vax I could get it. Still waiting; don't know why. I'm a little nervous about it. Especially the Moderna, which I think is the one that has caused the most severe allergic reactions.
Got my first shot of the Pfizer today. Wife talked me into filling out the form again after I was rejected the first time. Left off my race this time, selected declined to state, and bingo they had an appointment for me. Arm is a little sore, like a flu shot but that's it. No other problem. My wife got her first shot yesterday and she was a little out of it for a few hours afterwards but other than that and a sore arm, nothing.
Day 2 is when the Pfizer kicked in for me. Felt like shit for 3 days. I never get sick. This was dose 1. Dose 2 might be a doozy for me next Wednesday. Give the Pfizer juice a little time, bud.
