    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Yes, Houston CBS news last night did an story on Orange and Hardin County offering vaccines to whoever wanted to come get them.   They were practically begging people to come get shots.  No classifications anymore.  Exactly for the reasons elfenix is proposing.  Vidor is Orange County.  Enough said.

I’m finally flying to Houston next month to finally see my nephew since I’ve missed the first 5 months of his existence. Second stop is to go east and get a J&J shot in MAGA-land

Oh for sure. But if things always worked out in Alabama the way the Secret Powers wanted them to, Luther Strange would be Senator-for-Life, Sessions and Bentley would still be somebody, and Twinkle Cavanaugh would soon be governing via NextDoor and Yelp reviews.

Oh
My
God

I would have given everything to see Ole Twinkle go full Trump.

That’s one thing I’ll give MeeMaw Kay - she hasn’t lost her mind and gone all Abbott and DeSantis.

She’s actually been pretty responsible for a deep red state Governor.

Twinkle: The day is yet young. I have never met her, but I doubt she has any plans other than to bob around in the Montgomery toilet bowl until one day she's top turd.

Ivey: Her secret power is that she is from Wilcox County where it is always the 1930s. When you are actually from the 1930s, you don't have to do extra dumb or mean stuff to prove yourself, like the people just role-playing being from the 1930s have to do.

We better enjoy it while we have her. When she leaves office, we'll get some vicious bastard from Shelby or Baldwin County who is in full-on Theoretical Nationalism mode.

Do those people realize that the shit they're inhaling standing over that "bonfire" is 10x more deadly than the slight chance they catch Covid-19?  It's a pretty environmentally-friendly state from all the times I've been there.  You'd think they'd know that.  Oh wait, political theater.  Give 'em credit, a very new way to own the libs---breathe in burning cheap Chinese polymers and polypropylenes for 30 minutes at a time, just like God and Trump intended.  At least cut the straps off you fucking idiots, that's the most toxic part.  

Actually, scratch all that.  All of you stand as close to the smoke as you can, breathe as deeply as you can, and bring as many women of child-bearing ages as you can to the mask burnings.  Everything you're inhaling causes fertility issues.  

If Covid-19 can't choke you out, Burning Chinese poly's will smoke you out.  And if that doesn't work...you'll breed yourselves out by not breeding at all.  Win-win.  Smoke 'em if you got 'em, Boise.

Still looking at a gift that keeps on giving from Trump.  Large swathes of the country may be no-go zones if trends hold.

Once the shot is broadly available, I am all in favor of vaccine commissions of medical professionals reviewing each refusal. If there’s not a medical reason— you and your personal domicile are treated like a sailing ship flying a cholera flag. Hope you have grocery delivery in your town.

Also, a special middle finger to California. We think of this shit as conservative craziness now, but I remember very well how the idea of “vaccine refusal” became mainstreamed in this country. California school boards caving to crunchy, leftie WASPy parents let that idea out of its box.

This has to be a reporting issue, right? Surely they're not sitting on a third of the doses they've received.

Very well could be lag in reporting.

We're doing slightly better in Texas (75% doses used), but still under the national average (78%).  NYT reports GA at 69%.

How about eat better, exercise, and lose some fucking weight?

 

Ector County's hub (i.e., Odessa) is back up today on a walk-in basis for anybody.  So anybody who wants to take a drive out there can get shot today.

My wife and I signed up and are going tomorrow. I’m not going to feel guilty with vaccine sites sitting idle.

What did you sign up through? It looks like they recently (maybe this week?) added a state signup form on the website. Georgia messaging on this hasn’t been exactly clear.

Did the 4.5 hour loop from Austin to Bryan and back today.  Got dose #1 of Moderna.

My initial rush of joy that I have received my first dose was tempered by the sobering reality of the fact that I have to drive back to fucking Bryan, TX in a month.  Gah.

Nah, just go through CVS. I drove to Cypress for my first and was able to get my second 10 minutes from my house.

Did you have to schedule that or are they doing a walk up hub thing at this point, like west TX?

Good to know.  This was CVS, by the way.  Did you go through the standard portal or were you able to jump the line somehow?

CDC released guidance today that vaccinated individuals can gather indoors together without masks!!!

Seeing as how everyone I work closely with - and a full 93% of our employees have received both shots - I GET TO HAVE MEETINGS AGAIN WITH NEW MAKS!!!

It’s such a small, insignificant thing but it made me so happy to hear that. First change that makes me truly see some light at the end of this yearlong hellscape.


Also, I’ve helped some people in private messages but if any of y’all have family or friends in North Alabama (Huntsville over to The Shoals; basically the geographical area of the Huntsville Hospital Health System), please message me and I’ll do what I can to get them set up for an appointment.

Quote

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said "the state was not involved" in helping to vaccinate 1,200 residents of the super-rich Ocean Reef community in January. 

But both the hospital system that supplied the doses and Monroe County have contradicted his claims, saying the state authorized the vaccines, the Tampa Bay Times and Miami Herald report.

Why it matters: DeSantis has faced increasing criticism for directing vaccines toward wealthy communities.

Some of those who benefitted from the vaccine pop-ups also donated to the governor's political action committee, which has pulled in almost $4 million.

 

Quote

The state of play: A spokeswoman for Baptist Health Systems, which administered the Ocean Reef vaccines, told the Times/Herald that "Florida asked Baptist Health to take delivery of the doses to our ultra-cold freezer storage for delivery to the Medical Center at Ocean Reef."

Brian Keeley, the Baptist Health Systems president and CEO, and his wife own a home in Ocean Reef, but the spokeswoman wouldn't comment on whether they had a hand in getting the vaccines.

Back in January, Baptist Health canceled vaccine appointments for hundreds of members of the general public because it had run out of supply.

What's next: Ag Commissioner Nikki Fried and state Senate Democratic Leader Gary Farmer asked the FBI to investigate.

"If this isn’t public corruption, I don’t know what is,’' Fried said.

 

My 83 year old dad was finally fully vax'd so I went to visit him out west for the first time in 6 months with a box of oysters and some prime rib. Also got my first vaccination at San Angelo today.  20 minutes in and out.  My kid and her college roommates also got their first this weekend at COTA.

Best weekend I have had in a year.

This has probably been posted but it was a good tool for finding the doses.
