    Add in post offices. 

    We once had circuit riding judges delivering justice.

    Now we need "Circuit-Riding Inoculators" traveling from post office to post office delivering immunizations. 

    Not a terrible idea for the rural locations where there is not pharmacy or medical infrastructure.

    Or it could force them to do something crazy like come up with an actual distribution plan.  I'm letting everyone I know who is eligible to get the shot at Brookshire Bros to get signed up now. 

    I think going to pharmacies in more rural areas is a good angle.

    Called doctors who supposedly received the vaccine.  They said they haven't received them.  What a mess. I'm 1B and trying to see if there's a place to go that has it in or around Austin.

    sign up on the tarrytown and 38th st pharmacy waitlists.

    My parents’ primary care doc is telling them to “wait for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine”

    Has anyone else heard this advice or know the basis for it?

    Do either of your parent's have a history of allergic reactions to vax, drugs, or foods?  If not, they should take whatever is first available imo, esp if they are at high risk.

    Amazon/FedEx/HEB consortium.  I'd say Chick Fil A, but they probably don't believe in vaccines.  

    Yep.  I'd throw a bone to CVS given their broad geographic footprint.  Some extremely high number of American live within a very short distance to a CVS.

    When I got the vaccine, there was an optional CDC registration. Each day since the vaccine, they send me a text and report how I feel. I’m sure that most dont sign up for this service.

    Given how some feel about the govt, even how people in congress feel about the govt, it wouldn’t surprise me if the CDC is restricted by law in terms of tracking people.  No gestapo in bastropo Jade helm restrictions.

    Sign up for vsafe if you have not already. Sounds like you may be enrolled.

    everybody needs to contribute their post vax experience.

    I don’t know where else to post this, but I want to echo what a fucking shit show this vaccine distribution is.  The dshs site list all the locations(but of course no phone numbers).  You call them and they say they don’t have it, don’t know when they are getting it, etc.

     

    How is it that one of these major systems(hell HEB pharmacy when it’s open) can’t do what Tarrytown pharmacy did and put together a simple Google doc to put your info for them to contact you?

     

    We are going to needlessly kill more people because we have incompetent fucks running this country.  

    Yeah. I’m on the tarrytown list as well as my gp. I assume that H-E-B took a centralized delivery and then will have to ship to the individual stores thus the individual stores are in the dark. 

  8. My doc sent an email on Christmas Eve. They are one of the few small practices in Travis county on the DSHS allocation reports, and I imagine are getting a bunch of calls about the vaccine. Anyway, they basically said don’t call us, but send an email to get on the wait list and our triage nurse will call you. I am on the waitlist. I can’t imagine what their inbox looked like on Monday.

    I'll be passing through San Angelo tomorrow to help my mom out in planning my dad's funeral. He died earlier today at the age of 83 from Covid following a miserable three-week struggle in the hospital. It was a really shitty way to go and not the peaceful bed death surrounded by family/friends that we all wish for.

    Goddamnit man. I am so sorry to hear that.

    I didn't know wearing a mask was such a traumatic experience

    My kids are cool with everything that we have out there including consistent mask wearing in all public settings that don’t involve active sports play, but I see certain marks on their psyche and their social interactions and relationships. I don’t think that people should be so flippant about the potential longer term psychological trauma being experienced by our children. It’s hard as shit to balance things out and try to thread the needle between their actual risk and psychological well being. There is much more than just mask wearing involved here in terms of the psychological impacts.

    This is the true meaning of Christmas 

    As I sit here waiting for the kids to go to bed I am reminded of many Christmas eves at my grandmas with a huge pot of tamales on the stove, a big ornamented tree, a table full of sweets and lots of holiday cheer if you know what I mean. What I would do to live that through the eyes of that kid again.
