Lostin76 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 2 hours ago, Leathernecks said: Just got back from getting the 1st shot of the Moderna vaccine. No side effects so far. A couple nurses working are parents of kids I've had in class, so we talked a little bit. They said only about 30% of the people who are eligible have been getting the shot which is why the could get us in early than they expected. We're a small, rural area, so I'm not really surprised by that, but hopefully other places are higher. 30% won't cut it. We just got the text from our hospital system to schedule our vaccine appt. We will of course get it, but it’s a little frustrating that we (who are able to work from home) are getting it now just b/c we work at a big time university hospital and the people who are working in grocery stores and restaurants won’t get the opportunity to get it until it’s more widely available. Even then, they’ll have to wait in a line all day at a clinic to get it. I can just schedule it online and zip in and zip out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't that shot filter down to some elderly person and then you can get yours next month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only “side effect” I had with the Pfizer one was a sore arm the next morning (sort of like when you were younger and someone would punch your arm with their knuckles out). We’ll see what the booster is like next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostin76 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 My wife got her first vaccine dose this morning, which is a relief, as she’s had a few lung surgeries in the last several years. I’ve been worried about her a bit, so nice to see an end in sight. I’m scheduled for mine on Sat morning. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted December 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 For @IU Scott and others dealing with Covid, facing exposure at work and / or with contributing health issues, please consider taking Melatonin in addition to Vitamin D and probiotics. They all help support your immune system. New research out of the Cleveland Clinic backs up the efficacy of Melatonin. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/12/covid-19-sleep-pandemic-zzzz/617454/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Not about Covid directly, but maybe a byproduct of it...has anyone else experienced very poor service from fast food restaurants recently? In the last few weeks, I've gotten takeout from Chik-fil-A, Dairy Queen and Pizza Hut, and all three of those places screwed up my order. Dairy Queen got it wrong after I read it back to them a second time, and STILL got it wrong when I brought my food back to show them it wasn't what I ordered. Am I just unlucky? I keep hearing about how these restaurants are struggling to find good help, and it made me wonder if the masks are distracting employees and actually preventing them from doing their best work.

What I have experienced is they are working with less staff because they aren't doing nearly the business. I give them grace and still go from time to time because I want them all to survive this.

Steubenhoosier Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Wife and I have both been coughing a lot. She also experienced an ongoing headache. No fever. Took the test on Wednesday morning and just both got negative results this evening 👍 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Texas, I haven't noticed any discernable changes from fast food or sit down restaurants...Popeyes will mess your order up everytime virus or no virus... There are some social distancing and mask restrictions in restaurants, but we go out a lot and the eating places are pretty packed... I spent 15 minutes outside waiting to get into Shake Shack today...and they didn't mess up my order😁 Edited January 2, 2021 by IUFLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll automate pretty much all fast food job functions in the next 10 years...just a guy in the back room, monitoring the computer while he surfs the web...

Karl Marx postulated this about 170 yrs ago. Technology and automation will eventually replace most labor. This is what the Great Reset is all about. These stimulus packages and stimulus payments are the beginning of getting us used to universal income. To the Mods, I feel like I'm responsible and respectful, just bringing a different perspective to what is happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have McDonald's, DQ, a great pizza place, and Chinese. And gas station food. We live 45 minutes south of Bloomington. So we get groceries twice a month from Bloomington and learned to cook for ourselves. We can make better food at home than we get from going out.

So the closest place is a DQ or Hardee's and go through the drive through. Most of the better restaurants are on the other side of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
