My dad checked MyChart this morning and he isn't rescheduled yet. His appointment was last Friday, 2/19. Hopefully he'll hear soon.
The Administration said yesterday that they plan to be all caught up with vaccine shipments by the end of the week. Petco can't schedule until they have vaccine. So hopefully things will get sorted soon.
Add to that news that educators will begin being eligible for vaccines Monday May 1.There's a huge bottleneck/supply issue is what I'm getting at... :-\
“Los Angeles, Orange and San Francisco counties came out on the better side of the ledger with case rates of 12.3, 11.9 and 5.2 respectively.”
The U.K. and California variants are each armed with enhanced capabilities, and the likelihood that they could circulate in the same population raises the specter of a return to spiking infections and deaths, Chiu said. It also opens the door to a “nightmare scenario”: That the two viruses will meet in a single person, swap their mutations, and create an even more dangerous strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.The new evidence that the California variant could make people sicker, and vaccines less effective, should spur more intensive efforts to drive down infections, Chiu said. Those should include both public health measures, such as masking and limits on public activities, and a campaign of rapid vaccinations, he added.
When I get fully vaccinated, I plan to continue masking and social distancing, but I would like to eat in outdoor restaurants again. What do you all plan to do after vaccination?
Good question; it's been difficult for me to think too far ahead at this point. I feel like spring 2020 when so much was unknown, I was making a lot of plans as far as teaching and whatnot, only to see most quickly upended. I feel like one major thing I've learned throughout the last 12 months (and counting ) is not to set too many plans too far in advanced. I think because of that mindset I haven't dared think much about what I'll do post-vaccination rather than 1) teach in person w/little anxiety 2) continue to wear masks, social distance, and likely not shake many hands ever again.I guess I'll get some restaurant food. Since before March 13th 2020 we haven't eaten any restaurant food: everything we've eaten has been cooked by us (plus, of course, tons of junk food). There have been a ton of restaurant food lately I've been craving (even simple stuff: like KFC). Our favorite local (probably a few 100 yards away) Tai restaurant closed over the summer so that was a bit heartbreaking: that would've been the #1 meal (and we likely would've broken down before now had it been open in the fall).I'll probably also be excited to see movies again in theaters. I've been saying for a year that I will not go to a theater for a movie w/out the vaccine, so that's likely another thing high on my To-Do list post-vaccination. Right now it's looking good BLACK WIDOW may be the triumphant return (of me going) to theaters
CA now has its own strand of COVID-19 that is more transmissible and potentially more dangerous (and vaccines may be less effective against). It's similar to the UK variant, but even now slightly more than 50% of the COVID cases in the state have the vaccine; that's going to rise to 90% of CA cases by the end of next month. In that article: The pandemic rollercoaster continues its disturbing ride...

I'm very happy not to have to shake hands anymore. It was something I was never able to do comfortably.
We've had our own strain for a while. Unless that's yet another one. I'm thinking it might be a factor in how California went from a state that was one of the best in handling covid to being the national hotspot so quickly.
Even before covid, I didn't shake hands. It's a disgusting custom. Some people took my refusal graciously. Other did not. Now, I think most people would not have a problem with my refusal.
