I don’t blame you when it comes to Van (though I do love a couple of his old songs). Clapton was always...there. A standard of sorts, for me.dankind said:

Southern Ontario goes into a 28 day lockdown and Northern Ontario a 14 day lockdown starting December 26th. School break has been extended 1 week. Of course, flights from the UK landed today. Maybe we should actually close the borders...Give Peas A Chance…0

I just found out that teachers in NJ will be getting the vaccine during phase 1b: Those frontline workers include some 30 million people, including first responders such as firefighters and police, educators, including teachers, support staff and daycare workers, those who work in food and agriculture, manufacturing, corrections workers, U.S. Postal Service workers, public transit workers and grocery workers.
So I am not antivaxx at all but for some reason am a little worried about getting a vaccine that was made so quickly. Any thoughts? Does everyone here plan to get the vaccine once it becomes available?I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -
I plan to get it, but I also won't be in any of the early phases so will have probably 5 or 6 months to see if any of the teachers in New Jersey grow a tail or a 3rd arm and can then change my tune if need be.mcgruff10 said:I just found out that teachers in NJ will be getting the vaccine during phase 1b: Those frontline workers include some 30 million people, including first responders such as firefighters and police, educators, including teachers, support staff and daycare workers, those who work in food and agriculture, manufacturing, corrections workers, U.S. Postal Service workers, public transit workers and grocery workers.

I’m going to get the vaccine when it’s available to me, assuming no major new findings before then, which I don’t expect. Vaccine development generally takes much longer because there is less need and less pressure, so fewer resources put toward the problem. With covid, all available resources around the world worked on the problem. The vaccine review and approval process in Canada at least went through the same stages as always, so I’m comfortable with that part. We did not get emergency release, we got full approval.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0

I plan to get the vaccine when I can.
Easy for me to say, I'll be one of the last groups to get it, but I do plan on getting it.0 -
I had a package that needed to be sent today and the P.O. has been crazy busy lately so I got there before opening and got in line in the lobby. This lady comes in and stands behind me with no mask. I said, "Excuse me, do you have a mask?" She says, "No, I don't play that game." I firmly replies, "Well OK, but will you please stay away from me!" She asked the guy behind her if he wanted to go in front of her. He said yes and was wearing a mask. That lady was a real hemorrhoid.

Indoor mask mandatory doesn't mean they can/will enforce.

Given that it was before opening, this may have been outside. But in a line-up situation, I absolutely wear a mask, even if we're at 6-foot increments.
Geez....it's just not that difficult to wear it. Do I love it? No. But it's a pretty minor inconvenience and it's sad that some people actually feel oppressed over this.
