8:07 am

I played tennis from 8-50, then "retired" when it wasn't fun anymore.
8:07 am

Molly it's pronounced like the fly
8:08 am
Uneaixoise

Impressive! My mom was the tennis player in our family :-)
8:10 am

I still cannot believe that I lost interest, but I became more focused on hiking and backpacking. I need to be in the forest now and not the tennis court.

hi mkg
8:26 am

Good morning, mkg.
8:29 am
Uneaixoise

Hey mkg :-)
8:29 am
bichon

Scrabs, Is it true that 12 y.o.s will be able to get the vaccine by the end of the summer?
8:29 am
hurshy

nice up6 word today
8:30 am
Scrabbler

Maybe sooner. Pfizer has applied for approval for 12-15 years old.
8:30 am
bichon

Yeah, that takes care of the grands
8:30 am
mkg

Any clue for that up 6 word hurshy?
8:30 am
Scrabbler

I want babies and kids immunized ASAP.
8:31 am
mkg

Question is what to do with smaller ones i guess.
8:31 am
mael

can't wait for little kids to be eligible too
8:31 am
hurshy

Parliament was in an up6 when ending slavery was first proposed
8:31 am
mael

I have a 7 and 5 year old and and waiting until 2022 is going to be nerve wracking
8:31 am
Scrabbler

And I do expect CoV vaccines to be required for school enrollment. We need this.
8:31 am
72 Temple Owl

what difference does it make if vaccinated people. liek those int he nursing home down south, are still infacted and worse yets, asymptomatically?
8:32 am
mkg

Super clue. Ty. Got it.
8:32 am
Scrabbler

Because immunized people will not get seriously ill or die even if infected.
8:32 am
mkg

Wasted double Ds in grid. Too bad.
8:33 am
mael

I hope they'll be required. The flu vaccine was required for school enrollment this year in MA (not just public school, all schools including day cares and at home)
8:33 am
72 Temple Owl

but if asymptomatic,because of the mild case, they will spread it.
8:33 am
mael

and our flu cases were almost non-existent, though masks helped with that too obviously
8:33 am
Scrabbler

I did not know that, mael. The flu vaccine is optional here in NY.
8:33 am
mkg

I wish they would test for antibodies. There are likely many who dont know they had covid. And we are wasting vaccines on them.
8:33 am
72 Temple Owl

and have no idea. and it will never end.
8:34 am
mkg

Small kids are usually asymptomatic too......
8:34 am
mkg

Flu vaccine optiional everywhere.
8:34 am
Scrabbler

Owl, that is the nature of the virus, but immunized folks are protected. The unimmunized are at high risk.
8:34 am
mael

it's not usually mandated but it was this year
8:34 am
mael

and I was very glad for it
8:34 am
mkg

Also there are adults who cant get vaccinated. My friend has so many terrible illnesses her MD said she should not get vaccinated.
8:34 am
Scrabbler

mkg, immunity after illness is temporary, maybe 3 mo, so they still need a vaccine.
8:35 am
mkg

Oh. Ok.
8:35 am
72 Temple Owl

if not protected from infection, how can you call that protection>
8:35 am
mael

and that's why everyone who CAN get vaccinated should be, to protect those who can't be
8:35 am
Scrabbler

Owl, because the vaccines prevent hospitalization and death.
8:35 am
mael

it's, at the very least, protection from SEVERE infection. Which is the goal.
8:36 am
72 Temple Owl

a friend finally got her long haul trucker the J&J. three days later he became il.. she had to do the whole quarantine thing as well.
8:36 am
mkg

My husband had covid last may and stil has very high antibodies. He got first vaccine and got very very ill from it. So all the MDs he works with at NIH decided he should not get second vaccine.
8:36 am
mael

well yeah, three days in you are not protected at all
8:36 am
hurshy

ooh, fancy cr8 word!
8:36 am
mkg

They told him that the first vaccine is enough for him with his very high antibodies.
8:36 am
72 Temple Owl

scrabbler, no one knows what the effects of this virus wil be despitethe course of the disease.
8:37 am

Yaaa! I finally get my first COVID shot today!! It is will be of the AstraZeneca variety, and I have no reservations whatsoever, given the 1/100,000 odds of a potential blot clot. I stand better odds of getting run over by a car stepping out my door this morning, so bring it on. With our ICU beds overflowing, and hospitals transferring patients all over just to find a bed, and all hospitals on the cusp of emergency triage measures, I will not be choosy when it comes to what type of vaccine I get.

Sorry to iintrude on your conversation Carla, but I took 1st Moderna and was sore and tired for about 10 days. I heard 2nd was worse bur I must have been given a placebo, my 2nd didn't bother me at all.
9:15 am

There has been such a surge in demand for a timely vaccine that our province of British Columbia is running out of AstraZeneca. As it turns out, the U.S is sitting on a stockpile of unwanted or unapproved AstraZeneca, and our P.M is actively trying to secure a supply while it is still fit to use.
9:20 am

crossy, i believe all 6 people who got those blood clots were women, so they're wondering if this is a gendered problem, which means you'd have even less to worry about

I just cannot take the chance. I am an essential service employee in the food service industry. As such 2000-3000 untested customers come through our doors every single day. We cannot temp check them, we cannot ask them if they are coming from a "hot zone." I think I am getting my shot just in time, as this "third wave" is set to be terrible.

9:36 am

wondered after reading your comments. Everyone has to wear masks in stores here and no indoor eating -- not even at costco. Indoor tasting at wineries also closed. And no non-essential travel outside each health authority. We are supposedly getting more travel retrictions today. This is all in effect until after the May long weekend.
9:36 am

We are far behind the curve in comparison to the U.S. :(
9:37 am

I think we have 22% of the population with the first vaccine done at this time.
9:38 am

yesterday we banned all flights inbound from India.
9:39 am
cybernan

There are a couple of reasons ru - the main ones being we don't manufacture vaccines here, so we are dependent on getting them from other countries -- mainly UK and India and some from the US. Also we are more sparsely populated, so accessibility and storage is a problem.

I'm mean if you're in groceries and literally interacting with the public (mostly unvaccinated) and you're a critical worker, getting it now is really, really late.
9:50 am
cybernan

the BC gov't has been on top of this from the beginning, but you can only do so much with what you are given. Our biggest problem is convincing the tourists to stay home. The vaccine roll out here has been age based after health care workers and nursing home residents.

I am having cataracts removed in a couple of months, so had to go for related eye scans yesterday. The clinic of course insists on all the coviid protocols, takes temps, as you go in - the whole nine yards. The technician (a woman in her 30's) ,whose mask was hanging below her nose most of the time, infomed me when I asked her to pull it up that she didn't believe in masks and because she has asthma they bothered her. Then proceded to tell me that she thought masks were an infringement of her rights and privacy. Following which she proceded to tell me about a wine tasting tour to the south end of the valley she and her friends were planning for this weekend. I was cooped up in a tiny office with no ventillation with this woman for at least 3/4 of an hour. I still feel like reporting her.
