OT: Coronavirus 4 - or is that thread 2.75?

She may have used it as an excuse to have a 4hr nap on Sunday afternoon, who knows.

Oh I definitely took a nap after work that day, and went to bed early. It's rare you have good excuses to take naps during the day.

I ended up not having any side effects from my first jab. My arm wasn't even really sore. I was more affected by my flu shot this year than my Pfizer shot. Think I'm eligible to get my second dose on the 31st or later. They don't seem to send you the email to schedule it until a few days before where I'm at though.

I'm torn. I love free stuff but I think a glazed Krispy Kreme is probably the most overrated donut there is. I'll probably get one anyway I guess.







While I truly think this, I also want to trigger some folks.

I love the chocolate glazed ones as a treat.

The hot ones are very good imo, but I agree with you otherwise. Still, even the hot Krispy Kremes aren't as good as the hot glazed donuts from that little shop on the Carolina Beach boardwalk.

Do you think our players will get them?

 

[MinJaBen]

Do you think our players will get them?

I hope so, but I hope it is during a break. I can't imaging having to play a game with the side effects a lot of people get. That said, they probably play with more body aches than the side effects give you, so what do I know.

Practically any adult around where I live could have got their shots already if they really wanted to. No one checks anything but your ID. If you say you have asthma or whatever, it's not like they would verify it. Still you might have had to drive out to a more rural area if you wanted it sooner.

I'm guessing the vaccine uptake rate is pretty abysmal if they keep moving up phases and have places calling people who were previously scheduled for later dates to come in ASAP if they can so they don't waste shots.

There are a few components to this.

One of the problem is that people got on multiple lists, rightfully so, which then created a longer wait list than there really was. I read that when Wake Co. did a scrub of their list, an absurd amount of the list had people that had already gotten their shot elsewhere so they opened up the list to phases earlier.

Two is that the supply has increased dramatically over the past month.

3rd is that in some areas, like you said, the uptake isn't great.

According to the states dashboard, of people 18+ of age, 34% are partially vaccinated and 20% are fully vaccinated, so 54% of all adults in NC have at least gotten 1 shot, and that's before they opened it up to everyone. That doesn't seem like an abysmal uptake rate to me, but it's hard to tell (and I'm sure it varies by county/demographics).

Got # 2 Pfizer done . Sore arm is about it. Now about those bolts...

Just scheduled my first dose with Pfizer at Duke next Friday!

Don’t do like my son did and drink too much the night before and be hung over before the shot.

“Are you having any symptoms, such as headaches, lethargy, or nausea?”

My wife got her second shot today ... and is currently headed downhill.

imma wait on this vaccine business

I'm taking the same approach with the vaccine considering half of my department started getting them this week... and then about 2/3rds of them were out for a day or two, probably going to wait another week or so to get mine, and preferably would do the J&J one since I don't need to be out multiple times with this thing.

I got dose #1 on Monday and made sure to drive by Krispy Kreme on the way home to get donuts, especially because the Hot Donuts sign was on. And I saw some folks from where I got my shot there getting donuts.

What are you waiting for, exactly?

 

[Sens1Canes2]

What are you waiting for, exactly?

Had Covid in January so I’m not in any rush. I feel like the longer I wait, the more I’ll know. I’m debating whether to get it at all.

Ah, makes sense.

WOO HOO!

2nd Moderna vaccine on Friday. Fever started late that night, got as high as 103 deg on Saturday, but more or less over within 24 hours and then just a bit tired today. A price I'm very happy to pay for the peace of mind being vaccinated brings me.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I'm going to get the vaccine when I get the chance, but business has started to pick up again (Thank God), and I don't want to be dealing with the side effects of the shot (especially the 2nd dose) while I've got clients to take care of.

Do you know which one they got and was it only the first dose? It's totally anecdotal, but I know at least 30 people that got the Pfizer dose (including me, my wife and kids) and none of us had any reaction other than a sore arm after the first dose. Of the 10 or so people I talked to that got the first Moderna vaccine, they said they felt a little lethargic the next day, but not enough to stop them from working.

My wife and I both got Pfizer vaccines, and our daughter got the Moderna vaccine. We had the same outcomes you did with the first doses: almost no significant issues.
