I'm somewhat in the same boat where I won't get the vaccine until most have gotten it. My point was mainly towards those who needlessly are politicizing a ******* vaccine for conspiracy reasons I don't have the patience to entertain.
Just a heads up guys.
New directive from site administration, they want the team board COVID threads down to a very narrow scope.
Moving forward, only local interest COVID discussion will be permitted. If you want a more extensive discussion, you should go to the COVID forum.
COVID 19 - The Coronavirus Outbreak
Critique of local government response is permitted, so long as ideological motivation is not part of the discussion. This is not open for partisan politics.
Posts about causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are no longer allowed unless there is a local component. Otherwise they belong in

What is defined as local? Minnesota? Midwest? USA?
Asking as to understand where expectations need to be.
I would define as our 5 state area for the most part... but I could see some issues being a bit more of a national scale on occasion.
We're not going to debate what California is doing and how things are going there. We're going to discuss what affects us more directly.

Some more irony that I'm sure never occurred to the people making rules in the state:
Apparently it's okay for all our college sports teams not to wear masks (Gophers hockey or basketball team last night, for example) but some how high school hockey players need to wear them.
I swear these people are clueless.

Because the governor is afraid to enforce the law and that it's become politicized that each school, district and city gets to make up their own rules?
Which is the actual crux of this argument to me, especially watching how things have played out in Wisconsin. Dane County and the City of Madison have both been fairly aggressive throughout this thing with mask mandates, business closures and the like. Regardless of one's thoughts on the efficacy of any of it, all of that has gone through the proper channels. And my read "on the ground" is that people are generally on board with it and willing to roll with things.
That's a whole different kettle of fish than the governor declaring a statewide emergency and using that as an end run around the state legislature. I don't entirely disagree with the notion of emergency powers but they have to be used judiciously or you end up subverting the legitimacy of the entire system, regardless of your intentions.

There governor issued an executive order saying local governments can't put limits on businesses.
Same stink as here, just a different flavor. Rule by executive fiat
Wife got second shot today. Super happy, though apparently the full effect won't be for at least another few weeks, as far as anyone understands this process. Has anyone else had the opportunity to get immunized yet? My understanding is that a lot of the health care systems(i.e. Fairview) are talking about it, but have yet to deliver much in the way of actual "jabs". For a guy like me, who is not young, it's disheartening to realize that I probably still have months to wait before i even get my first shot.

I haven't had the opportunity to get the vaccine. Being a healthy male that's 34 years of age and working remotely, I haven't even asked for getting the vaccine as other people require it more than I do (I hope, still haven't been infected)

1st one she had pain in her shoulder(she's not a wimp in that respect), mild fever and lethargy for one day after the shot, then was fine. So far, this time, she feels less pain, and no sign of fever or any other symptoms, though they might come tonight. I'll post tomorrow about it.
Thanks for all of the information 57special. I hope your wife and your family is safe. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Thanks for the offer, but now that she is vaccinated we are in great shape. The odds that she catches Covid, or if she does, has any serious symptoms , have now gone way down.
Hope others get the chance to get their shots soon.
