The last time I saw positivity numbers from the limited testing being done in this country the rate was around 13%. That means better than 1 in 10 are infected. Being vaccinated is the only available insurance policy that might prevent someone from developing serious disease when they become infected. If 1 in 10 people you interact with are spreaders, one mask not worn properly one time, or not washing your hands after touching just about anything handled by the public such as money, is all it will take to expose you to the virus. Either your immune system works and you beat the infection or the vaccine helps your immune system do the same thing. Any assistance you can give your immune system seems to be a prudent measure as it it is looking more and more like everyone will eventually inhale this virus or one of its variants.

While you wear a mask when in public will you not be fearful? CV19 is here, there and everywhere to stay.

No. I won't. To be honest with ya it's not something I realy think about and I only wear a mask when going inside a store, bank or walking through the center of town as the PN will use it as an excuse to extort a few hundred pesos out of me if they see me without one.

It seems Americans just can’t comprehend how to deal with this at all. You still wear masks, people vaccinated still get Covid. CDC is a disaster.

The temptation here will be just like it is in up north to use the remaining doses in storage for initial injections rather than save them for the scheduled 2nd dose. We'll see what the Govt decides to do if the next scheduled deliveries get delayed.

Dr. Anthony Fauci said the best vaccine you can get is the vaccine you can get.

I got mine. Sinovac. Chinese. Because it can be safely stored here, not like the ones that need riddick minus whatever Celsius.

2nd jab in April.

The best vaccine you can get is the vaccine you can get.

Vaccine supply for 1st injections is running low the Govt says. Online appointments can only be booked by those who qualify for phase 1A, 1B, and 1C at this time. People may have success at the more rural or less popular vaccine clinics. Keep your eyes and ears open and get the vaccine if you want it as soon as you can. Please report your success stories here as an aid to others who are still looking for a working injection site on the north coast.

North Coast Covid-19 Vaccination Sites - Who, What, When & Where

I am sure I am not the only one who at times finds it difficult understanding the local media or speaking with and understanding officials on the telephone. I like others probably have very little knowledge of where the local vaccination sites will be located which makes getting to them...

Ahh well..........Maybe;

Sweden joins Germany, France, and 15 other countries in suspending AstraZeneca's vaccine over possible side effects

The AstraZeneca vaccine has been suspended by Sweden, France, Germany, and 15 others, pending an investigation into potential side effects.

Perhaps a blessing the DR did not get the AZ vaccine they first signed up for.

Hope as a public-health tool​

​
The early coronavirus mistakes were mostly mistakes of excessive optimism. Many scientists, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, did not immediately grasp the threat. Neither did we in the media. President Donald Trump made the extreme version of this mistake, with a series of false statements minimizing the problem. Some politicians continue to show undue optimism, ending mask mandates and allowing full restaurants.​
But overoptimism isn’t the only type of error in public health. Pessimism can also do damage. And at our current stage in the pandemic — as the United States finishes its first year of life dominated by Covid-19 — pessimism has become as much of a problem as optimism.​
Thousands of schools remain closed, to children’s detriment, even though epidemiologists say that many can safely open. Irrationally negative talk about the vaccines has fed hesitation about getting them. The widespread notion that normal life won’t return anytime this year — if ever — has caused some people to give up on social distancing and mask wearing. They seem to be saying: What’s the point?​
Difficult truths can sometimes be a vital public-health tool. But so can optimism. Optimism can help people to get through tough times and make sacrifices, in the belief that better days are ahead.​
In a White House address last night, President Biden tried to balance realism and hope. He began with a somber recitation of Covid’s costs, including job loss, loneliness, canceled gatherings, missed time in school and, most of all, death. At one point, he reached into his jacket pocket and removed a card — which he always carries, he said — with the current American death toll printed on it. The past year, he said, had been one “filled with the loss of life and the loss of living for all of us.”​
Yet when it came time for Biden to tell Americans what he wanted them to do — to wear masks, maintain social distancing and get vaccinated — he did not use darkness as motivation. He used July 4.​
“If we do all this, if we do our part, if we do this together, by July the 4th, there’s a good chance you, your families and friends, will be able to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout or a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day,” he said, standing alone at a podium in the White House’s East Room. “Finding light in the darkness is a very American thing to do.”​
The speech included plenty of caveats, about virus variants, uncertainty and more. Biden’s political strategy on the virus is clearly to underpromise so he can overdeliver. But that’s part of what made the July 4 vision memorable. Even Biden, with all of his caution, seems to grasp the power of hopefulness at this moment.​
After 12 months of a pandemic, it’s hard to inspire people to action with only grim warnings of all that could still go wrong. People need to know the full picture, both bad and good. They need a source of motivation beyond fear.​
“Over a year ago, no one could have imagined what we were about to go through,” Biden said. “But now we’re coming through it.”​
