    Nick, GlowGirl, and anyone else who's had the virus, wishing you well, keep getting better!

    For those have not yet had the vaccination, here's an article my sister sent me that might be helpful:


    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    My district is pretty confident that they will be getting us the vaccine in the next two weeks.  Hells yes.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I read an article about a Seattle hospital that was reallocating their vaccine because it was going to groups unjustly. While I am happy some of you are receiving the vaccine, I often think of those at higher risk in other countries who are going without and have deep concerns of inequity.

    Has anyone here who already had Covid gotten the vaccine? I am curious because I had read a few articles that suggested that some people who already had the virus are getting more side effects with the first shot. Apparently, the first shot for someone who had Covid can be like the second shot for those who haven’t. I even read some suggestions that people who have had Covid may get the same protection with only one shot since it acts like a booster. If you had Covid and already gotten your first shot (or both shots) what was it like?
    A 22 year old from our church had the virus in December and got her first vaccine shot Thursday. She works at a nursing home so they wanted her get it for her job, even though she probably still had some immunity. She told me it caused a 102 fever, body aches and cramps. According to her it was worse than getting sick in December. She is always sick though and a bit of a hypochondriac so I don’t really know bad it is.

    Awesome. My parents get their second shot on the 19th as well. I will be very relieved once they have both shots. They have been very careful, but my mother is starting to get a bit stir crazy.

    Isn’t getting Covid again rare? Seems like they should be low on the list of you already had it.

    Ask Maynard. 

    In the early days, when it was impossible to know for sure, it was believed to be rare. Hypothetically, if viral immunity were to have lasted 9 to 12 months, we would just be seeing the first real reinfection data now.

    From the article:

    Others were relying on good Samaritans like Anchorage, Alaska, resident Diane Nigg, who works as a travel agent and contact tracer

    Think I'd change my last name if it were me.

    Make sure your folks understand it takes like 10 days after the 2nd shot to get maximum immunity built up. Tell Mom to hang in on being careful till beginning of March.

    Very relieved today.  My at risk older mother has an appointment for Wednesday.

    My dad (divorced so different state) still has heard nothing and he is same age and has a pre-existing condition as well. Finger crossed.

    Teachers in Colorado are still months away from getting a vaccine in many cases. If you sign up today you'd be about #100,000 in line. Somehow our superintendent got our district to cut the line and we all can get it Thursday. Despite my irrational fear of needles, I signed up. I'm a wuss with needles, I've passed out getting a shot before. Its a drive-through vaccine station too, my only comment was if they don't let me get out and sit down for the shot I'm driving off, i'm not going to sit behind the wheel light headed and dizzy while I pass out again.

    48 hours post second Moderna shot and I feel fine. I had the sore arm and headache Saturday. Sunday morning I actually felt ok except for a fever and headache. As the day went on, I started to feel off. Not really sick, but sort of drained. By the time I went to bed, I was feeling a little better. Today just a headache, and feel good enough to go to the gym after work. Some of my co-workers had stronger side effects than I did though.

    Good news for your mom.  My parents age 70 are not going to take one.  I've stopped talking about COVID with the family.  They don't care.

    Report on NPR this morning that South Africa is reporting that some of the vaccines are less effective against the new strain.  I’m hoping that it isn’t enough of a deal that we can’t reach herd immunity with vaccines by the end of the year.  There has to be an end in sight and news like this really sucks. Every company that can make a vaccine and doesn’t have one of their own needs to gear up to be subcontractors.  I don’t think most people can take another year plus of this nonsense.

    They do understand that. I think the closer they get to a bit more freedom (or at least peace of mind) the harder it is to be patient. But they are hanging in there.
