Covid- 19 - Second wave

[Gandalf]

A sore arm? I have read reports of people getting the vaccine here saying it hurt less than other shots. I think part of it depends on the person doing it and also how your veins are. I have awesome veins and they are easy to shoot and I generally feel little when needles go in when it is a good nurse. The less effective nurse will end up bruising you up. Not painful though. I tend to deal with pain very easily though. The kind of person who could cut off a finger joint and not flinch. A bit Lector like at times. Others with more flab and deeper veins probably have a harder time as you have to locate the rotters. I would be a brilliant junky.

Tx and Mississippi fully throwing reasonable caution to the wind is not wise at all. Opening in stages put's brains over emotions. I feel like we've gone through this before . Like last year. Gov Abbott would do better to ensure half his State isn't thrown into the literal dark and living in Igloos again. We've treated this virus like an inconvenient diet plan..show some discipline, do some right moves, see the numbers start to tick down and then immediately justify going back to Taco Bell on Friday. Seems we've not learned a thing.

@Spicoli couldnt agree more. Here we are in Mcallen, TX, 5 miles from the Mexican border, since December 1, 2020. The state is a wreck. Texas has logged

2,684,110 infections with 44,757 deaths

and Abbott wants 100% restaurant capacity by Monday, with NO MASKS. He tried that last Memorial Day, last Labor Day, and last Thanksgiving, with disastrous results. Lets see the infections and deaths skyrocket in about 14 days from today. Fucking nuts.

I still feel like we're getting mixed signals in regards to COVID. I mean Biden says go through all the mask, vaccine, distancing stuff. Fauci says shit like we might not be able to ever have indoor dining ever again, Texas & Mississippi Governors have removed mask mandates.....and illegal immigrants are allowed in and are free to travel within the US even if they pop positive for COVID.


So as a person who has had it, and had a peach of a time with it.... I just throw my hands up at this point. I don't trust these folks, I don't trust the WHO, I don't necessarily trust the CDC, I certainly don't trust Fauci who will say literally anything depending on the audience. I've had it, it wasn't bad FOR ME (and for my family) and we're all very lucky that was the case. It was different than anything I've ever had before, I don't want it again, but I'd take it over what the flu usually does.

stay afraid of an imaginary boogeyman coward, just keep believing what you're told instead of knowing for yourself

Just makes zero sense. It's being ignorant defiant just to be a righteous asshole. We literally tried this. A gradual roll back..absolutely needs to happen, but to go 0 to 60 with only what 8 percent ? vaccinated in the State is reckless. Not to mention the certain 1001 asshats rolling around filming themselves disrupting small businesses trying to have their viral moment.

At this point I'm way too pessimistic that this aint close to being over. There is no way out, IMO.

We're too divided to come to a singular conclusion. When the leader of the free world told his 70+ million supporters it was no worse than the flu in public (but said it worse in private) how many of that 70+ million have the right to act on his words? I'd say all.


When the leader of the free world watched Pence get vaccinated in public, Biden, yet he did it in private -back in January, how many millions have the right to say- it still is a liberal hoax? If not from their backwoods, social platform of news they want to hear.......they won't believe it, we both sadly know this, correct?

Trump reportedly quietly got his COVID-19 vaccine in January
He tells CPAC to get vaccinated, but not USA, how do his supporters ignore that? They do. With ease.

When corner stores and gas stations are allowed to sell us masks with 1 of 2 labels : made in China or - may not be suitable for medical purposes, how did we get to the point, where not the previous nor current President can at least ensure we buy masks that are meant to at least minimize risk as opposed to buying because it's on the cheap, or- worse! Fashion statements.

I thought I had bought a camaflouged mask- as they were all out of the regulars ones...take a look at this doo-doo here:

Somewhere there is a fool actually wearing that mask.

and to add to it- There could be six distinct types of COVID-19 as of today?

But wait, let us not forget the religious zealots who add in right wing ideology as the best means-
Catholic leaders warn against ‘morally compromised’ Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine

https://www.pennlive.com/coronavirus...9-vaccine.html


So we got millions who won't wear masks because their prez said it was a liberal hoax.
We got potentially millions who won't get vaccinated because they're enthralled with groups like Qanon- claims vaccines turn children gay or trans
https://www.insider.com/qanon-conspi...ans-gay-2021-2
Yup, fagism in a vile tube.

Or potentially millions who believe: 5G chip 'hidden' in COVID vaccines?
https://sea.mashable.com/tech/13900/...a-guitar-pedal

What makes that one cool is that it turns out to be a diagram of my favorite guitar pedal - the Metal zone! This is the state of thinking? Just give a diagram, call it Bigbrother in a vaccine- and they not only believe it- they raise their kids to fear it. And blame liberals. Got to!
Why not?


We got millions who wont get vaccinated unless it comes from Pfizer not Johnson & Johnson. as if Pfizer has a label: "Approved by Angels for Jesus ":

We got millions wearing masks that may not be doing anything other than selling a fashion statement.
We got strains, mutating likea mofo

And we got millions of people whose business, their ability to exist-have lost their jobs because they're in the service business, restuarant, bars, gyms, how do we tell them for a year plus- no one can solicit them?

I see no way out

A sore arm? I have read reports of people getting the vaccine here saying it hurt less than other shots. I think part of it depends on the person doing it and also how your veins are. I have awesome veins and they are easy to shoot and I generally feel little when needles go in when it is a good nurse. The less effective nurse will end up bruising you up. Not painful though. I tend to deal with pain very easily though. The kind of person who could cut off a finger joint and not flinch. A bit Lector like at times. Others with more flab and deeper veins probably have a harder time as you have to locate the rotters. I would be a brilliant junky.

Well miles don’t forget this is IM, intramuscular. These types of shots tend to hurt more but the first one hurt so bad it may have been something the nurse did I really can’t say. Second one which made me much sicker I had severe arm pain but it honestly disappeared in hours. The first one the pain lasted days. Typically anything shot in the vein should not have any long lasting pain. It’s really the IMs that get you.
