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.
Agreed.

If what I saw this weekend while is any indication, the behavior of people young enough they haven't gotten the vaccine yet is NOT even attempting to avoid infection.

I'm 54 and not in the education field. My wife is 59 and retired. We both got ours last week.

We did not do it in Lee County, where we live. Went next door to Charlotte County. Several of my friends have done the same.

In other words, try the next county over (North or West - not South).
Well that was good advice. I have to drive two hours north near Orlando to get it but I am scheduled for Friday. Worked out well as I am traveling there on company business that day anyway.

Under the category of “ OF Course “

After I searched and found an appointment two hours away, the state of Florida called me just now with an appointment for right here in my local area for Wednesday. Going to take that one since I don’t think there’s much difference between Pfizer and Moderna.

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.


Well I got an email later yesterday afternoon saying that they were releasing 7,000 Moderna 1st shots and a link to sign up if I wanted.  I went ahead and clicked the link and entered my info, and what I didn't realize was, that put me in the queue.  A few hours later my computer beeped, I went to that open browser page, and I was next in line.  I figured I'd be waiting weeks or months, but there was an appointment available at a nearby pharmacy for Thursday at 10 AM, so I guess I'm off to the races.

Iowa has opened up for anyone over 18.

I just need to check to see where and when I want to roll up my sleeve

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

Just today I got emails from Lee, Sarasota and DeSoto Counties. They all say come on down!!

It won't be long now. We're almost out of the woods. Another few months and bye bye masks.

I'd say that here in Texico, it'll be Memorial Day when things really seem to be back to normal.

At that point, anyone that wants the vaccine will have had it, and anyone that doesn't want it will be left to their own devices.

There will still be a few Lockdown Larrys and Mask-up Marvins standing on street corners hollering at everyone that The End is Nigh, but for most folks, normal life will have resumed.
