It was all about  J & J's EUA application to the FDA this morning. Earliest date I heard was 2/26 for approval & hopes were that by mid to late March they would be able to be shipping some. Theirs is a single dose & the 1st that's NOT mRNA.

 It's much easier to store too, normal refrigerator temps of 35-46* F so distribution should be much simpler.

:confused: so we have to wear a mask and social distance the rest of our life........ef that!!!!!!!! :angry2:

my daughter works at the st cloud hospital, the lone infectious disease doctor there says he aint doing the shot...... even at the CDC they arent on the same page. :doah: you got Fauci saying ya need both shots, and Osterholm, who is part of the CDC now saying it be better to get that first shot to as many as possible and hope the second shot is available when needed, or its ok to wait longer to get the second shot.......

when you refer to floaters, what do you mean???? blurry vision, spots???????

just read an article where Fouci said if you have some side affect it means the vacine is working??????? :scratch:

I had little black flecks in my field of vision especially when out in the bright snow. They were more like tiny lines than dots. Didn't see a doctor, just them floaters

Floaters are blood spots in the eye that can be removed. See a Doctor.  :happy1:

Apparently it was chosen because it was "small" (and probably because it is diverse in its ownership)

Fauci also said back in March masks weren't necessary and now we should be wearing the whole box. Osterholm is more of a pandemic of the month guy. :scratch: Floaters are also a sign of old age roony! :embarrassed: I've had some minor floaters in my left eye for a while. Last February developed one in my right eye that's more annoying. Seems to be worse in bright sun & not so much in low light or when I'm wearing shades. Had my last eye exam just prior to all the COVID crap hitting the fan. I was told too if it bothered too much it's not that difficult to get rid of them.

If you are over 65 and want to get the covid shot as soon as possible you will have to take some aggressive action.  Being I am retired and have some computer and verbal skills I took the challenge and started contacting locations to see if I could schedule a shot.  Basically not for me because like I mentioned before I won the lottery drawing and was able to schedule a shot at the Convention Center but for my wife who wasn't so lucky.  I say lucky because we wanted to get the shop as soon as possible.  At any rate yesterday I contacted a clinic that had vaccines and would schedule a time for my wife. I ask about me and they said no problem.  They had vaccine not used by hospital and clinic staff.  We both got scheduled for this afternoon.  Short drive and it was in and out in short order probable less than half hour.  They had a great system set up to move people through smoothly and quickly.  I don't know how many total doses they had but there were 5 intake stations and 5 shot stations.  Cool Beans. We also were able to schedule time for the second dose.  I cancelled my lottery appointment so it can be used by someone else.     Now we will see about side effects.  I would recommend anyone who wand to get a shot or has elderly parents who want to get the shot to go look for it and not wait for someone to call you.  Maybe I was just lucky but it worked.

We were anxious about my mom getting signed up too.  She didn't win the lottery.

That internet/iphone doesn't work out so well.  She gets by for someone who never used a computer, but that is not her primary means of communication and she certainly isn't savvy to follow all the right links in all the right sequence to book online.  (Thanks, Good King Walz.) 

Long story short, she finally did find a phone number, stayed on hold for an hour and a half, and got scheduled for the first shot next Monday.

Well the party has been put on hold over there as there has been a CV-19 outbreak at 1 of the hotels the players used to quarantine. As of 7am today our time Melbourne, a city with roughly the same population as Mn(5.1M/5.6M) is on lockdown again. It's for 5 days this time & they can only go out for an hour at a time, for either groceries or to exercise. :scratch: :doah:

BS because ya don't like it or BS because you don't think those half million dead people are really dead? Last night I called a friend who was really, very sick with covid. Young guy in his mid 40s, very fit and active. He uses to think it was all BS, not so much now.
