COVID-19: Chapter 7 - Brags, Beats, and Variants

Hey some people want to get a haircut once they get the vaccine and I was like fuck it full YOLO instantly and started committing crimes like I just got the limitless drug.

Reminds me of people tap dancing on Texas when their electrical grid collapsed. You guys realize these aren’t homogenous states, right?

Got pfizer shot #1 at noon today. Only a mildly sore arm so far after 11 hours. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

I’ve checked the local grocery store pharmacies and regular pharmacies in LA maybe 100 times - just out of curiosity. Not one appointment available in all those tries. Only the mass testing sites in LA have appts. I don’t think they’re even getting supply in CA. Or if they are it’s all for tier 1A or something.

Instead of the invitation that I’m still waiting for, my health insurer sent an email basically saying they had no supply.

You should have asked for my University ID card - they never even read it, just saw it in my hand.

I’m getting ok at it - but still get tons of ingrown hairs. Definitely going back to my stylist for the next one once I’m fully vaccinated.

dude I just got told I could have the vaccine yesterday afternoon and got one today. Just check surrounding areas too. There were several appointments in san bernardino, that’s where I got mine. There were some in long beach but I wasn’t fast enough. Walgreens site seemed way better than the others. If you’re willing to drive a few hours you can get one easily, I’m pretty sure.

Walmart appointments open at midnight in my state.

Are you guys noticing a difference between NoCal and SoCal?

I was talking to someone from Bay Area, and he (young, healthy dude) was lamenting difficulty of getting vaccine. I said, ā€œWell, all of my California e-bros are getting vaccinated.ā€ He asked where, and I said that it was mostly SoCal. He said that it’s ā€œwell knownā€ that none of the sites in/around LA are actually following the rules for distribution. He even told me that he knows people who went from SF to LA to get jabbed.

Major. Anecdotally, every idiot I know in SoCal has been able to stumble into a jab.

Nothing within 50 miles.

Anyway I’ve already got the jab and get #2 next Friday. I’m just curious to see when demand starts letting up.

Apparently only Microbet has to follow the rules.

I have an appointment for tomorrow and going under the ā€œmaintenanceā€ category. I will be in a work van, have my contractor’s license, some invoices and copies of checks and a permit for maintenance/maintenancy things.

So you didn’t already get shot down, you were just imagining it?

Not imagining it. I got shot down once. I didn’t bring any supporting documentation. Going in again.

My wife is going to start a job at an elementary school soon and will be covered in covid germs.

eta: I do do maintenance sometimes. I’ve even worked in preschools before. Documentation is hard though because on those kinds of things I’m always working through some other party. All my direct clients are homeowners for solar.

It’s nuts how far some of you have had to travel for a vaccine.

Appointments for a new mass vaccination site in Batavia, IL (Kane County) are opening this morning. They’re taking people in 1B+ in Illinois which my wife and I qualify for. Me: Heart Condition, Her: Pregnant

Refreshing all relevant pages because I assume the slots will all go quick.
