My question here is always the same: how broad a category are “underlying conditions”?

We can throw it around, but without some actual knowledge of the list, it might mean something or it might mean little to nothing. Like, is being “overweight” a condition? If so, it’s a pretty low bar, relatively.
I was surprised that I was eligible for the vaccine earlier because of my "overweight" qualification.

I'm certainly not skinny or obese.  5'10" 195 lbs

At 6'5" I would have to be below 200# to not be overweight. 

If I ever tip the scale below 200 pounds I am seriously ill.

I am technically still considered obese (very close to not being), but I have a defined waste and carry a lot of extra muscle on my frame. I don't have a "gut" anymore. My doctor does not consider me fat. I'm around 19 percent. My goal is 15 percent.

Same here. I'm at 265# now, which is a bit high, but anything under 240# and I start to look ill. 

To get my BMI under 25 I'd need to cut off a limb.

My doctor told me flat out that BMI doesn't apply to me because my muscle mass is well outside the normal range too. He still wanted me to drop a few pounds, but said that BMI shouldn't EVER be my metric to work from.

I thought I was going to qualify for "early" due to underlying conditions because my BMI was about 31, so technically I'm obese.

Then CA clarified and said that you only qualified for early vaccine if your BMI was >=40... So I had to wait.

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

Exactly. Unfortunately, for things like life insurance and that, this is one metric they look at.

We are very low in cases in NE Iowa. But, there are so many mass meetings lately, by end of August I am thinking Iowa will be a hot spot. My wife's family had at least 60-people in a tiny room with inadequate ventilation this weekend. I know some of them are vaccine resistant.

We had the Delaware County Fair with over 50,000 in attendance a week ago. Only one-half of people over age 12 are vaccinated here. I think about 20% of our county had COVID, but a percentage of those, including me, are vaccinated.

There is very little testing right now and very, very few testing positive here. Mask mandates are outlawed. Requiring proof of vaccination is outlawed - what happened to the 1st Amendment?

I suspect Eastern Iowa will see an uptick. Hope not. We'll see.

So a few pages back I told of my aunt and her boyfriend who both had covid. She was in the hospital for 2-3 days and then he had to go in. Well he had some sort of cardiac event while in the hospital and now he’s essentially brain dead. He’s being kept alive on life support but essentially he’s gone. He’s in his mid 70’s, she’s probably early 70’s. Neither have been vaccinated because they were afraid of the vaccine. 

So sad. He was a good guy. 

This makes about 10 people I personally know who have died of covid.

all of this covid stuff is very sad

the vaccine in my simple mind just seems like a logical choice

not saying I'm right or wrong, just my opinion weighing pros and cons

Yeah, I'm not really sure why that is.  I do have a very large extended family and living in the same small town for a long time we know lots and lots of people.  Pretty much we know almost everybody in our town and in our area.  And maybe we're all just a bunch of unhealthy mofo's at that?  But most of the folks have been older and had some kind of health issue, but still the number of people I know who have died from Covid seems high compared to other people I talk to, even people in our area or people at work.

We just received word from work we are putting off our recognition event due to the recent uptick in covid.  I expect any day to start back with the mask wearing etc.

Vaccine rates: Vaccinations have been a popular talking point in Indianapolis.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says "not quite 70%" of his team is vaccinated. Of the coaches that provided data, the Hawkeyes are towards the bottom in the league in vaccine rates.


"It’s going to become a big deal pretty soon that we are all vaccinated," Iowa wide receiver Tyrone Tracy Jr. said. "If you aren’t, you’re really going to pay when the season comes around.”
