Covid Vaccine ?

steve(ill) wrote: I will probably get the vaccine next spring or summer.. I got a flu shot this year.. First time.. also go the pneumonia and shingles shots... I normally go to the doctor about once every 5 years, so not many problems.......... All that being said, if i was in Chitcago, NYC or LA and there were 1 MILLION people infected... I think i would like to see it distributed several weeks ago.. Many people in those places WOULD take it.... I really dont need it, right now... rural community and i really dont go too many places. When i was a kid we lived outside the "big cities"... in the suburbs... I can remember kids getting polio and pneumonia and almost dieing... I remember several kinds of "fever", chicken pox, and a lot of other CRAP going around... All that is GONE now thanks to  vaccines... Grandkids probably got half a dozen shots when 1-5 years old to keep the CRUD away... Cant argue with success.......... When was the last time you heard of someone getting polio ?

I used to think that way, regarding the small rural community thing. Back in April/ May, it was a down state thing. Oh there were a few cases, a few people in the hospital, no biggie. Heck one of the nurse supervisors was all mr denial.

This time? Shoo Buddy! This time it’s real   This time it’s not a down state thing. Our local hospital is part of a bigger system of hospitals. The bigger hospitals were going to start sending patients up here because they were full. Never happened because we were quickly FULL of locals.

The last two days the wife worked was an 18 hour and 18 1/2 hour shift. 7:00 am to 1:30 am.   She’a just about a zombie.
