mattygroves

Vacations...I remember those (she said wistfully)

8:03 am

MollyL

People get so self-abusive here. Smacking their head, whacking themselves with fish.

8:04 am

MollyL

Apparently people are still taking vacations. I heard from a co-worker that the airports are packed. I guess a pandemic does not keep people from wanting to get on a crowded plane in close quarters.

8:05 am

BzznBea

It may come to a screeching halt soon.

8:05 am

BzznBea

Or you may have to test negative to board.

8:07 am

MollyL

I can't imagine the wait time if every passenger has to be COVID tested

8:08 am

BzznBea

It wouldn't be any different than now when you have to have a test done before any medical procedure of testing.

8:10 am

MollyL

I thought you were talking about testing at the airport

8:18 am

mattygroves

Here in the UK, we're not supposed to go anywhere, test or no (in theory, anyway)

8:19 am

BzznBea

That is the best plan, matty.

8:22 am

HarryHood

the worst are the people who complain about others not following the rules, and then are found on facebook gallavanting around tropical vacation spots for winter break

8:22 am

mattygroves

It is. I agree with it entirely - but I still miss holidays. As everyone knows (because I say so frequently) I really want to go to Australia. One day!

8:22 am

HarryHood

"but I took a test!"

8:22 am

BzznBea

How are they doing with the vaccine rollout over there?

8:23 am

mattygroves

It was a test on Buzzfeed to see what kind of root vegetable I am, but it was a test!

8:23 am

HarryHood

slow. it's a tough process

8:23 am

HarryHood

matty :)

8:23 am

mattygroves

It's going - they expect to get the first four categories fo vulnerable people vaccinated (first dose) by mid Feb, apparently

8:23 am

HarryHood

I would be a turnip.

8:24 am

BzznBea

My mom will get her first dose on Friday. Then the next dose two or three weeks later.

8:25 am

bichon

I have a doctor's appt on the 29th. Hoping my doctor will have good new about the vaccine [I'm 74]

8:26 am

BzznBea

You should be in the next group, bichon. Right now it is 75 and older.

8:26 am

mattygroves

All sorts of info here for the UK COVID response, infections etc: shorturl.at/dfkQV

8:27 am

HarryHood

every state is different

8:27 am

hokie carla

aw, cosdem gets the tiara today

8:28 am

HarryHood

MA is still in phase 1 - only health providers and first responders right now.

8:28 am

MollyL

We usually give the guys something butch, like a six pack of beer

8:29 am

HarryHood

oh - and ppl living in group situations - prisons, long term health

8:29 am

BzznBea

And I thought NC was slow. We've got them and patients in long term care facilites done alsready.

8:29 am

hokie carla

my medical group has a pre-screening thing. I filled it out, they said they'll let me know when it's my turn.

8:29 am

hokie carla

bea, NC is way ahead of VA

8:30 am

MollyL

I am actually not anxious to get the vaccine. I want to wait and make sure there are no crappy side effects

8:30 am

HarryHood

I hear you molly

8:30 am

BzznBea

You won't know until you take it.

8:30 am

hokie carla

not me, I'm all in

8:31 am

mael

I'd get one right this morning if they'd let me

8:31 am

MollyL

No, I'm talking about side effects reported by others

8:31 am

HarryHood

I'm taking it as soon as it's available, but it makes me nervous

8:31 am

mattygroves

I would too

8:31 am

mattygroves

But I'm 53 so I'm in phase 1.9, as it were, according the UK priority list

8:31 am

HarryHood

one may not see effects of mrna until years later

8:31 am

mattygroves

Phase 1 is all over 50s, and then 1.1 is people in care homes, 2, I think is over 80s and so forth

8:32 am

hokie carla

my county health dept said they expect to get to the general population group by Feb. I will believe that when I see it.

8:33 am

mael

I don't anticipate getting mine until may or june at the earliest

8:33 am

BzznBea

That is where my county is coming from, Carla.

8:33 am

HarryHood

teachers are way down in the middle of phase 2.

8:34 am

BzznBea

I also think that once the vaccine gets into the pharmacies, it will go a lot quicker.

8:34 am

HarryHood

yes agreed bea.

8:34 am

hokie carla

I think students are before the last group

8:35 am

HarryHood

the private sector has done a good job with testing - they would also with vaccinations

8:37 am

HarryHood

50 to go. bbl!

8:37 am

mael

immediate side effects seems to be in line with any other vaccination

8:37 am

mael

which is to say, very manageable

8:40 am

hokie carla

yes, I've heard the 2nd one is worse, but that is also true with the shingles vaccine (or so I've heard)

8:41 am

hokie carla

gotta say, this is not my kind of grid.

8:41 am

BzznBea

You haven't had a shingles shot, Carla?

8:41 am

mattygroves

The COVID vaccine is free here but CANNOT be obtained privately at the moment. It's strictly invite only from the NHS

8:41 am

mael

hah, I've had shingles and I'll take any vaccine over that

8:41 am

hokie carla

I am not old enough, bea. but I did have shingles already, so I will get the shot when they let me.

8:41 am

mattygroves

So, in theory, no queue jumping

8:42 am

hokie carla

I would say I even had a milder case of shingles but I do not want that again.

8:42 am

mael

agreed

8:43 am

penquis

carla...you can get a shingles shot five years after having shingles....at least that is what my sister in law was told....

8:43 am

MLFAN17

hello

8:43 am

penquis

hi MLF...hi everyone else....

8:43 am

MLFAN17

hi pen

8:43 am

MLFAN17

eated

8:43 am

MLFAN17

nope

8:45 am

mael

I was told they won't give the shot until you're a certain age because it loses efficacy over time and shingles gets so much more dangerous the older you get

8:45 am

mael

(I had shingles at 32, so long wait for me)

8:45 am

hokie carla

interesting pen. I did hear your chances of getting shingles within the 5 years after is much lower so I guess that's why. but I think the handout they gave me made it seem like I couldn't get it.

8:46 am

hokie carla

my neighbor had it twice in her 30s and begged for the shot but they said no, I guess that's why, mael.

8:46 am

penquis

my sister in law did get her shot....

8:46 am

hokie carla

how old was she at the time?

8:46 am

bichon

I had shingles in my 40's. Have had both vaccines

8:47 am

penquis

late 50s, i think, but i am not sure....

8:47 am

MLFAN17

first column e stats pls?

8:47 am

hokie carla

do they normally give it at 60?

8:47 am

BzznBea

es5.12

8:47 am

penquis

es 5/12...

8:47 am

MLFAN17

my grandmother didnt get them until later in life

8:48 am

BzznBea

60 is the age they start giving the vaccine

8:48 am

MLFAN17

8:48 am

phaeton

My daughter has had shingles three time and she is in her early 40's. Thankfully mild cases

8:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, I've still got about 12 years for that

8:49 am

hokie carla

seems like everyone I know that's had it was in their 30s/40s

8:50 am

MLFAN17

4th column a stats pls?

8:51 am

mael

ad4/5 x2

8:51 am

hokie carla

when I was a teenager a younger kid at church had it. that's the youngest I've known. I think he was 14 or 15.

8:52 am

phaeton

was it shingles or chicken pox?

8:52 am

hokie carla

it was shingles, he had had chicken pox way younger

8:53 am

hokie carla

I figured out pretty early on what mine was. I was like what are these bumps and why do they hurt so bad? called the dr. office to make an appt and told the receptionist that's what it was and he was like whatever, then the dr. took one look and said, you have shingles.

8:55 am

bichon

my doctor gave me a medine, but said I might get it again

8:55 am

mael

I didn't unfortunately. My rash itched like crazy for a week before it started hurting like I got punched. I have many skin allergies so I thought I'd gotten into poison ivy or something until it was way too late to take antivirals

8:55 am

penquis

my brother "diagnosed" my sister in law with the help of an internet search....took her to the ER and she was told that it was a good thing she was treated early....her case was indeed mild....

8:55 am

hokie carla

yeah, I think getting on the antiviral so fast helped mine a lot

8:57 am

hokie carla

mael, hopefully you recognized it sooner the 2nd time?

8:57 am

mael

I just had it once so far, and I seriously hope to keep it that way

8:57 am

mael

it was miserable

8:58 am

hokie carla

oh, I thought you said you had it twice

8:58 am

hokie carla

did someone here say that?

8:59 am

mael

I think someone said, yeah. Luckily not me!

8:59 am

hokie carla

yeah, not fun

9:00 am

9:29 am

pcal2

i agree and let me just say i hate it when words go around in circles in a square grid!

9:30 am

hokie carla

yeah, I did not see that de6 or the te4 or 6, because the only thing worse than a circle when you're trying to read is a counter-clockwise circle.

9:30 am

marksdolly

for sure!!! LOL and gm Hokie!

9:31 am

hokie carla

hello again. got the dog taken care of, ate breakfast, switched the laundry.

9:32 am

MollyL

By small suffix I mean the one that ends the small kitchen set

9:55 am

hokie carla

yeah, that o is a struggle. I currently have oa4 and oc4. will look.

9:55 am

hokie carla

11:02 am

MollyL

What is it about the internet that has people talking and typing like three year olds? Brekkie, prezzies...

11:02 am

hokie carla

I keep seeing cadit and wondering if that's how moo would say cadet

11:02 am

hokie carla

I thought brekkie was an english thing from way back

11:03 am

marksdolly

we all use slang of some sort

11:03 am

moolingwa

Australians use brekkie a lot

11:04 am

moolingwa

If that's your standard, then you probably don't want to go to Australia then Molly

11:17 am

cybernan

I wasn't clueing words in the grid -- giving examples of similar compounds.

11:17 am

11:23 am

hokie carla

11:24 am

hokie carla

11:24 am

hokie carla

12:25 pm

moolingwa

which I just clued

12:26 pm

hokie carla

PMS

mites
dits

moolingwa

moolingwa

the first one is the "dumbest", second is the wound, and the last is duration based

12:30 pm

hokie carla

ok, that is the right order I was thinking

12:30 pm

hokie carla

LOL "the last is duration based"

5:18 pm

hokie carla

2 of my s's were fabrics.

5:19 pm

moolingwa

my last two were Natrium and what eagles do

5:19 pm

hokie carla

so now you have the A or you finished? so hard to tell

5:19 pm

moolingwa

just the A to go

5:19 pm

moolingwa

5:20 pm

moolingwa

oops, a plural I missed

5:20 pm

moolingwa

fw

5:20 pm

hokie carla

ah, well done. you found it before I came up with a clever clue that turned out to be the wrong one

5:20 pm

moolingwa

well, that ultimately proved to be relatively easy...though did inadvertantly pick up about 6 clues in chat

5:21 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I'd been taking the five down towards the middle, and didn't think to take it back down the left

5:21 pm

hokie carla

I advertently picked up at least that many

5:21 pm

moolingwa

two in a row...I'm on a roll :)

5:21 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I missed a few plurals early on with that exact thing

5:22 pm

hokie carla

today's was harder for me.

5:22 pm

moolingwa

I got that l6, as well as the starting letters of three eights, and then the m6

5:23 pm

hokie carla

oh, plus I got about 16 from the list. hahaha

5:23 pm

moolingwa

heh

5:23 pm

moolingwa

that's less than 10% always a good day

5:23 pm

hokie carla

but I didn't have to look any up!

5:24 pm

moolingwa

yeah, the words were relatively on the easier scale today

5:24 pm

moolingwa

some of them just took a little longer to find, because not related to other words

5:24 pm

hokie carla

and going in backwards circles

5:24 pm

moolingwa

my last 12...three were plurals I missed

5:25 pm

moolingwa

right

5:25 pm

hokie carla

I had some plurals and past tenses on the list that I swear I tried.

5:25 pm

moolingwa

a lot of almost words too

5:25 pm

moolingwa

destitute

5:25 pm
