No worries. I'm fairly quiet and mostly just lurk. I live in the US. More specifically, south Texas. Couple hours away from anyplace anyone would actually want to be, but as I'm learning, that too can be an advantage sometimes...
On a positive note, my wife was able to get her 1st dose of vaccine this morning! Thank God. Me and the kids aren't eligible yet. My mom and dad did too last week. They live much further north, but they're definitely old enough to qualify. From what she's telling me, it was all being handled very efficiently and professionally. It's a miles-long drive through leading into the parking lot around an old fairground. Then they split the cars into 4 lanes, get everyone registered while they are still a ways off from the injections. Then when they have enough cars of people ready, they pull them up into the area where they have all the nurses and doctors. They already have all of the syringes staged and ready to go. Swab and wipe, shot in the arm (she hates shots but says this one didn't hurt at all), and then they are told to pull up to a 15 minute waiting area. Then some doctors walk by asking visually, "Thumbs up?" You respond, "Thumbs up," they make a helicopter spiral and you're off to head back home. All in all, took less than an hour.
Man that's a relief. It's taking awhile, but relief is getting here. It's just.... so much of this was preventable.
