I don't believe the Chinese at all. They have an agenda to downplay the Western vaccines. I just found it interesting how fast they pounced on the news out of Norway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Took a temp job with Amazon. Really enjoy it believe it or not. Covid safety has been impressive. Barely come in contact with other people and it's all very efficiently operated. I kinda assumed It might be a sh*t show but it's not. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives alone on the beach in Wilmington NC. Just finished contracting his own house and plumbed it himself. He’s a retired building contractor, plumber by trade. Had both knees replaced in the last 4 years, travels in his motor home. He’s healthy and strong as an ox. Hope to keep it that way. His wife died 2 years ago with dementia. She was 78. NC has all their facilities done and moved on to 75 and above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need my wife’s mother to get it. 89. Some health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I did get email from BIDMC regarding vaccination of patients to start in February as part of phase 2. No need to contact them as they will be reaching out to all patients to schedule. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Cumberland County here in Maine is still "code yellow," which means no school sports for at least another two weeks - not even something like swimming, where there's no close contact and you're saturated in chlorine. But I can turn on my TV and see people playing football, basketball and hockey all around the country - not to mention club sports here. My high school senior lost all of last spring, and is on track to lose his entire senior year of activities. He worked his butt off to earn a captaincy for this season and probably won't get to compete. I have yet to see any evidence of school-sports-related transmission in my area, and my general understanding is that it's been minimal everywhere. I've generally been in favor of caution, but it just feels absurd at this point.Mills....Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 And still unknown if the deaths were even caused by the vaccine. The article seems a bit propaganda-ishDo google search.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Too many granny mouse clicks at once? You’d think they staff it sufficiently to handle the volume. The over 75 populous is the most vulnerable so of course they’ll be flooding the site and phones for an appt. Should have been prepared. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Actually...I’m looking now and it could be more. 17.7% of 3.56mill are 65 and over so that’s 605k. Not sure how many are 65-74.

BrianW Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Cool picture of an American Marten taken in Crawford Notch. Nice to see them making a comeback up in NNE. I believe they were once common in most of New England. Most of the population is up north in Canada now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
