The Mrs. and I didn't get our shots in Ramsey County. We got ours at a Walmart in southern MN.

Melatonin seems to sometimes work.Read that Kiwis before bed do the trick also,keep forgetting to pick them up
Melatonin is GREAT if you have trouble falling asleep. Not so great at keeping you asleep if you have trouble like I do waking at 3-4 AM and getting stuck laying awake for hours.

Here's a wild idea

lets give priority vaccinations to all pro and college athletes and coaches maybe even high school

this could be justified by realizing its for the mental health of the country

same thing could be said about actors and anybody that performs for the public

anyway just a thought
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I could find a shot in a neighboring county if I tried, or I could just be a little dishonest about my health or lack thereof

I went ahead and signed up with the city and county.  But from what I hear, those waiting lists are a dead end and you have to actively search on a daily basis to find available appointments, and even then those might be the next county over.

That's not worth my time.  My only real deadline is I want to be fully vaccinated + 2 weeks by the middle of July.

This is probably the third time I've thought we were through with the will of Covid rises, this time by reasoning of the vaccination rollout and possible herd immunity. But here we go again, cases and deaths on the rise in several key markets, particularly Brazil. France, Italy, Germany, Russia too. Iran and particularly India are experiencing surges again. 

Good news is UK cases and deaths are way down, near zero. If what western Europe is re-experiencing in terms of another wave is due to the UK-variant, then hopefully that takes care of it. Not sure what to say about India or Brazil. 

Here in the U.S. it's not so much that we're hitting surges again, it's more that the case/death rate in places like New York, New Jersey, and LA County linger on as flatlines that only very gradually drop. 

However, what's going on in Michigan?

That's a good question. What *is* going on in Michigan? 

I know we've got some UM fans here, but not sure if we actually have any posters who still live in the state that might have local info.

Looks like the 7-day MA for cases nationally is trending upwards, but Michigan may be accounting for a huge portion of that...

This weekend has reminded me how much I really don't like people and crowds. 

The thing that is going to kill me the rest of the year is that SO many people have spent the last year just absolutely jonesin' for travel and events, which means that travel costs are going to be through the roof and EVERYWHERE will be crowded. 

I might end up hating that even more than lockdown.

Vaccine rollouts in most of the rest of the world--Europe included-- are far, far behind the USA.  That might explain some of it.

Not sure about Michigan and some of the other states that are either increasing or not dropping, though.  Warmer weather in the south maybe helping those states out, a bit?

I've heard folks speculate that the month of March might represent the largest temperature delta from northern states, to southern states, that we see through all of winter/spring/summer.  So that might be contributing as well.

cases here aren't dropping as fast as we'd like, but hospitalizations are down dramatically

As more people in the older demographics get vaccinated, this is what I expect to see.  Symptoms aren't as severe for younger people so even if the infection rates stay high, the hospitailzation/death numbers should be dropping pretty steadily from here on out.

Israel is one of the few nations that's ahead of us on vaccine rollouts, and that's exactly what they saw occur.
