I'm not saying I'd kill for two weeks quarantine, esp given the circumstances, but I wouldn't be too upset.

Bad news! Someone I was in a meeting with 13 days ago popped positive within the last day or so (we all wore masks and I didn't come within 6 feet of her in that meeting). I was placed on a "close contact" list because of said meeting. After the rules changing 6 times between yesterday afternoon and today as to whether I isolate or not, I was swabbed and am now in quarantine for 14 days. Hopefully common sense prevails, but I doubt it.

This shit is fucking frustrating.
Just got home and my at-home test to reduce the length of my at-home quarantine is sitting right next to me. Monday morning...

Sure hope I get a negative result. Would hate for my streak (currently 16, pending the result of this morning) to end.

Thanks fellas. I know I need to keep it in perspective. My issue is strictly annoyance from a work perspective.

When I return, I'm behind the power curve with real world work because the Air Force keeps on chugging along despite this pandemic not giving a shit about "mission essential" operations. We keep planning everything right up until it gets cancelled instead of it just being cancelled from the jump.

In the meantime, I'll concentrate on school and anything else. May even read a book or two.

Soo, back last year in November, I convinced my aged mother and father that we shouldn't go out to New Mexico to spend Christmas with them, due to Covid. I told my Mum we'd come out...
(my recollection) ...sometime later.
(her recollection) ...in January.

So, as soon as the calendar turned to 2021, she started agitating for us to visit. She was bitterly disappointed when my daughter went back to college without visiting her first. She wasn't buying my excuse that we can't come now because A) Covid is still bad, and B) we have four geriatric pets in various needs of regular doctoring. She wants a visit, dammit.

I finally caved in and agreed that I would come (alone) for a week, allowing my wife (who is extremely Covid-safe and basically refused to go) to stay home to care for the animals. So, I'm flying out tomorrow for a week. I've got my N-95 mask and I'll pack my own sandwich and try to avoid people to the degree possible. Couldn't get a direct flight, though (which didn't used to be the case.)

At least they are getting the vaccination next week. And, with Trump out and my father on the wagon, our conversations should be a lot easier (hopefully).

Hopefully with the new federal directive requiring mask wearing on airplanes, that will also help things for you.

I'm curious - does anyone know if that directive applies to airports? Are they under federal authority?

Yeah, but Merck certainly doesnt suck at it. If the J&J fails, we are so lucky to have the mrna technology (assuming we all dont die from it later). So easy for that not to exist yet and we live with this til 22-23 or later. The drug costs that people criticiz so much is exactly makes wall street dump billions into unproven companies like Moderna. In the absence, millions more die.

Fuck this.

https://www.statnews.com/2021/01/25/mo ... -variant/

Moderna is studying adding booster doses to its vaccine regimen after finding its Covid-19 vaccine was less effective against a coronavirus variant that was first identified in South Africa, the company said Monday.

In lab research that involved testing whether blood from people who had received the vaccine could still fend off different coronavirus variants, scientists found that there was a sixfold reduction in the vaccine’s neutralizing power against the variant, called B.1.351, than against earlier forms of the coronavirus, Moderna reported.

There was no loss in neutralization levels against a different variant, called B.1.1.7, that was first identified in the United Kingdom. Both variants are thought to be more transmissible than other forms of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Oldest kid's HS has reported 5 cases so far this week and 4 last week. All of the emails say there is no evidence via contact tracing of connections between the cases. She's personally opted for fully remote learning so far this winter.


Same kid will be a year older as of Monday, and we ended up renting out a movie theater tomorrow evening so she can have some semblance of a celebration. Will only be 10 or so people total, I think, including my wife and me (if I end up going). Mostly track teammates who she sees every day anyway. Spread out and don't share popcorn, kids!

Don't go to AMC, they don't need customers to stay in business.

Debating on whether to send the boy in this quarter. His last week of in-school (pre-Christmas), he was literally the only kid in one of his classes, and no more than 4 in any other class. The one he was by himself, the teacher is remote, so he sat in an empty room on a Zoom call with a substitute teacher baby sitting him. He decided to stay remote the rest of that week. He wants to stay home because he feels weird being in empty rooms and said the teachers are only teaching to camera anyways, not to the kids in the room. I feel like he needs to get out of the house, because he rarely does anything outside and seems to be withdrawing from friends. If they stay remote for a week, they are put on full remote for the rest of the quarter, so I don't want him to choose remote because nobody is going in, to find out kids are going in.

Time to lose some Canadian smugness...

The numbers are in: Canada’s COVID-fighting efforts are among world’s worst
The only thing our leaders are doing well is blaming others. The premiers, who utterly failed to impose effective lockdown measures when there was still a chance to stop the pandemic in its tracks, and who are currently failing to distribute the few vaccines they do have, are blaming the federal government. The federal government is blaming the manufacturers.
The Ontario government claimed that 100,000 Ontarians had been vaccinated (a pretty woeful number in a province of 15,000,000). Turns out they were counting doses, so only 50,000 had been vaccinated.

Yet handsome Justin pretends that everything is right on schedule.

Hey rass, I forget, is that Salma in your profile pic?

If not, it's very similar to how she looks in Hummingbird Project that I posted about in Movies.

The weekly Wednesday vaccination clinic run by the local health department my wife works for got pushed to Thursday because of the relatively obscene amount of snow that fell around here on Monday. A lot of their Wednesday volunteers couldn’t work today, so I took the day off from my job and worked at hers instead, with the promise of a dose at the end of the day (all volunteers are lucky enough to get vaccinated).

She was up a little after 5AM and had to be onsite by 6:30. I didn’t have to be there until 8:15, so took my own car up so I could at least say good morning to the kids and make breakfast for the youngest.

The clinic took place at the HS (enrollment over 2900, currently all remote), located right next to the city hall complex. It snaked its way through the parking lot and around the school, starting with pre-registration where they made sure the people who showed up had an appointment, to registration and then the nursing stations where shots went in arms. Plus a ton of support staff, DPW, cops, golf carts, and so many cones. My wife is head of Logistics, making sure people and equipment (from heaters and printers to pens) got where the needed to be.

I was assigned to the registration team. We had to collect and quickly analyze the paperwork from the vehicle-bound patients, flagging potential issues for followup with nurses at our station. We also collected medical insurance info to allow the HD to potentially get reimbursed someday. Real bottle-neck there when we had to make copies (front and back!) of the cards. One copier/printer jammed (I was using it at the time, fully outside, and I really think the wind caused the top-loaded paper to go a bit sideways) and couldn’t be fixed. It got quickly replaced but the replacement ran out of ink. They brought two more up as replacements.

This was the first clinic where people were getting their second dose, and the procedures were slightly different for first and second doses. We had to mark up the windshields to indicate second dose, or if they needed to exit the car to get the shot, or if the patient was on anti-coagulants. The nurses had a red marker to indicate patients who had to wait 30 minutes post shot instead of the standard 15 due to some medical issue or another. Once they were done with us, they drove around the building to the giant semi-permanent structure, three lanes wide, to get their shots.

The clinic was open to anyone (who got an appointment), only real restriction was that you could only get your second dose there if you also got your first dose there. My sister in law (over 50 cancer survivor) had an appointment today (no help from my wife) and drove about an hour from home to get her shot. I didn’t know that until I saw her in the line of cars. She didn’t expect to see me, and with the masks I think we almost missed each other. Good thing I recognized her car.

We started at 9 and worked until 3. Some place in town provided a pretty good bag lunch, so I took a quick 15 minute break to piss out my morning coffee and to scarf down a chicken cutlet sandwich, potato salad and pickles. Threw away the Lays and stashed the craisins for later (much later as it turns out, as I never ate them so they came home with me).

I got the shot a little after 3, made it home by a little after 4. Walked the dog, picked up the oldest from track practice. Made pizza dough somewhere in there, too, and fed the kids. Arm is a little sore, but so far nothing worse than the flu shot. I’m tired and my back is sore, but I think that’s from getting up a little earlier than normal and standing for 6 hours straight.

The actual HD employees, or at lest the ones in charge of this, had to clean up both the site and the paperwork, making sure the doses given could be matched to the number of people recorded as receiving them. 571 total doses today. They think they can do more now that they have the hang of doing the second doses.

She didn’t get home until after 8. She, along with most of her coworkers, got her second dose today and is expecting to knocked on her ass a bit tomorrow. Seems to be the consensus that the second dose makes itself known. Her arm is really sore.

I’ll most likely be spending Thursday four weeks from now doing the same exact thing as today, and then get my second dose.

You'd think Trump would be all over this since a pandemic that kills 5 percent of people over 70 years old would definitely put a dent in his support come November.
I still maintain this dumbfuck would have cruised to re-election if he'd have taken COVID seriously and done all of the other same white nationalism stuff.

Wife and kid both got their first jabs this week. I’m still waiting for mine as I was unable to go sit in line for four hours like they did. Locally at one location they are doing first come first served. Running out of doses quickly though.

At work we are supposed to be getting quite a few, plus I’m on the list for the regional hospital system. Fingers crossed either one happens soon.
