vaccine

[MartyE]

Well I'm still a few "phases" away from my eligibility although I probably fall into the obese realm I feel there are way more people that need it sooner than me. My contact with the public is low at my job and my personal life so I consider myself low risk for getting it. When it becomes my turn I'll get it and I'm really hoping it's the "one and done" J&J version.

I won't criticize those that don't get it. It's up to them. That being said I'm ready for this to be over so I hope more folks do than don't. Besides I got an appointment to see the captain again in July so ...

I guess you’ll have to have an “I’m vaccinated” sticker like you do when you vote.

Have to? Not as yet. But maybe that will happen someday.

America could soon be swimming in COVID-19 vaccine. The shift from scarcity to surplus could bring its own problems.

We're a long way from worrying about such a problem. And, we'll probably be dealing with this not unlike the flu forever....

Pennsylvania gives out vaccine cards. I do not know if they take it back after your second does. This card is to inform vaccination centers what second does to give you.

Maybe you get to keep it for a souvenir.....something to show the great grand kids.....

Georgia also gives cards with the type, date and where the shot(s) were given.

A rant of sorts.
It is pathetic that ways of saving lives, shots, masks, etc., have become political in nature with so little concern for other people.
I have not seen the covid virus with my eyes but my guess is it does not have markings to indicate who it is meant for.
I am sure you are tired of hearing that I am 86 and never before have I been so frustrated by events in our country.
It seems that so many good things that have happened in the U.S. ( I won't make a list) are about to come apart and the ideals
that so many fought for will be gone.

Pretty accurate depiction of things Roger. A lot of people are concerned about the issues you mention. Not clear how to get things back on track. Start with feeding people, making sure they have housing and healthcare, especially the children. Maybe that's the best approach to finding goals most can agree to.

[robert.]

I think we already have ways to house and feed children. If kids go without food. Then their parents are most likely mentally unfit to be parents.

[chuck]

Then their parents are most likely mentally unfit to be parents.

That's a pretty low bar for evaluating parental behavior. There are a large number of "parents" that provide shelter and food but are still unfit. These are children, not dogs or cats. You are supposed to take some interest in them beyond basics like food and shelter.

Having a child is a choice. Raising a child is one of the most difficult jobs you can undertake. If you do it even half right is is also one of the most rewarding.

From Ron Howard's Parenthood:

You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, or drive a car. Hell, you need a license to catch a fish! But they'll let any butt-reaming ******* be a father.

Local schools have given out food all through the pandemic. Pa state will give you a food card for $600 a month. Usable in PA.,NJ,MD. and DE.

I can't wait to see what the reaction is when we have to pay the bill for all of the "giveaways". I am all for helping those truly in need but everything I read, which is a lot on this subject, say it's so overloaded with pork that you can smell the bacon from a mile away.

We'll be paying this bill for decades if not centuries. I never understood why we can't pass a package that only is associated with the cause at hand.

That’s a question for a lobbyist. Not a hobbyist.
