I'm sorry if everyone here is upset about a little truth bomb about the state that I live in, I'm not exactly sure how a conversation between Chaz and I got to this point? If you don't like a comment or response you always could/should ignore it... it was a response directed to him and nobody else.

Now back to our regular scheduled program!

Am so hoping that the good, or great news trend continues
in your states guys, everyone’s states, and countries really. (y)
Hey, and was wondering for the longest time now. ..How has
everyone been doing out there? I mean how has life been in
your area where you live?

Have you had any experience with the vaccines? Whether
it be yourself, a family member, or friend?

Had just seen that Steve’s mom is evidently doing great !
A GIANT congratulations there by the way !!! :)

But how about everyone else? Any insight? Or updates?

Thank you VERY MUCH Tom!

My mother was vaccinated with the two-shot Moderna Vaccine through her health provider by appointment and the drive-thru was right by where we live, The first shot took about a 20-minute wait to get and a 15-minute wait after to make sure everything was ok...

The second shot was not by appointment as she had been given a "first shot card" to show and we could show up any time of that day, but it was a much longer wait due to there being many more people and it took over an hour to get the second shot and then the same 15-minute to make sure everything was ok...

She was lucky in that many people from across Las Vegas had to drive to the same place that was basically in our backyard! ;)

My wife had the Phizer vaccine due to her work environment, she works in the counseling department at a high-school, she was pretty ill for a few days after the first shot, but the second shot she took Tylenol and it wasn't as bad.

As for me I'm holding out for a
Bit... I work in a department pretty much all by myself and am pretty careful.

I've recently been told that a conversation between two people is better had by PM, but what do I know? ;)
Didn't think one comment would be so disruptive, oh well, guess it's a sign of the times, can't have opinion out
Loud anymore. Everyone is in high sensitivity mode these days!

My mother is 82 and she felt nothing from the first shot, but of course, she did feel the bit of leftover pain from having a one-inch needle jabbed in her shoulder! :giggle:

But after the second shot, she felt nothing for the first day, but as expected, she felt some fatigue for the following few days which went away... ;) and of course, again, the bit of leftover pain from having a one-inch needle jabbed in her shoulder! :giggle:

I was just out to dinner with some friends last night and asked the one guy who I knew had had COVID what his symptoms were, he answered he had absolutely no symptoms and if he didn't have the positive test he never would have known he had it.

He then went on to say that he has had both vaccine shots and felt sick for three days after taking each shot. I then asked him if he got the shots after he had already recovered from COVID and he said yes, I then asked him, "Why, you know you are already immune after that?" he just gave me a blank stare!

So far I have more people complaining about the side effects of the vaccines than those who have had the actual COVID infection complaining about their symptoms.

Sorry, but having one variant of COVID and then recovered does not make you immune to all the variants that are out there now, and the new mutated variants that have yet to emerge the longer it takes to get it under control...

Went out for dinner again tonight, a "Texas Roadhouse" for some ribs. Our Governor gave another order that restaurants can now have full seating and wearing of masks required only if the restaurant owner mandates it and they must post signs at the entrance that masks are required.

They had no sign posted "Masks Required", so we walked in maskless, like normal human beings and the place was packed and we had to wait 25 minutes to get seated. The staff was all wearing masks, but the vast majority of people who came in were not wearing masks.

Our community bar is wide open again, with no masks and full seating... Free at last, Thank God Free at last!

I'll let someone else speak to the irresponsible thought process during a global pandemic as "my freedom, my freedom"... :rolleyes:

And I'll just stick to trying to spread some good news during this exceptionally bad time as more and more free Americans continue to die every day just because some refuse to do their part to help crush this nonpolitical virus... :(

Well thank YOU Steve, Dennis, and Chaz, and thank goodness
it sounds like all of you have had pretty positive experiences so
far. A lot of times you hear all these stories, with some of them
being a little scary. But I think so much of it has to do with all
of this with the virus being new to us. And unlike other situations,
or viruses in the past. ..We are kind of learning on the fly I mean.

In any case, really is great hearing from you guys about things.
On my end, my mom is set to get the J&J vaccine this Thursday.
So fingers crossed that everything goes well.

Thanks again everybody !

Our survivability rates come strictly from.the CDC.
Chaz, with all due respect, if you only have a 94% of survival if you get covid, you must be over a 100 years old and have a serious underlying condition. You aren't getting covid mixed up with getting run over by a bus are you? ;)

I had my first one four weeks ago, and get my next one on 23rd May. We have a 12 week gap here in the UK. Unfortunately I had a 90 minute round trip to get to the vaccination centre, but I suppose it's better than getting ill. Glad to know that you are not being charged for it in the US

Actually I think the way his post math works out is that......70+ year olds have only a 5.4% chance of survival if they are infected, which is incorrect by allot me thinks

Yes, not everyone is as lucky as most...


People need to stop politicizing basic health measures that greatly help stop the spread and mutation into a deadlier variant of this virus like simple mask-wearing, social distancing, and not gathering in crowds indoors, which even if you don't get sick at all from contracting the virus you are still giving it more and more chances to mutate into something more contagious and deadlier!

People all need to understand this fact!!!

Stop crying "freedom", being selfish, self-centered, and do your part to help crush this virus before it mutates into something much more contagious, deadlier, and it becomes something that will be even more devastating to our way of life than it already has been!

Sorry, but it needed to be said...

CDC is now saying evidence suggests vaccinated people aren’t spreading the virus. Two weeks after my second shot I’ll stop wearing the mask. I was prepared to continue, but the data says it’s a waste and to move on with life.

That said, I think there should be a simple card showing who’s vaccinated and if you’re not, you need to be wearing a mask.
