I'm hoping to get the eventual One Shot only Johnson&Johnson deal. Right now though not in a big hurry and semi hibernating.  |

I get my second dose Wednesday March 3 at 12:45. The Pfizer and Moderna shots give 90% protection against the Covid 19. The Johnson&Johnson is more like a flue shot, and only gives about 60% or so protection (they think). My wife goes in the her first shot Tuesday the 16th at 3:00 Pm, and probably 23 days after that for her second shot.
My first shot was easy, although I had to sit in my car in line for an hour and a half, then I got the shot, and then I had to wait 15 minutes before I could leave.

I've been joking about not wanting the Johnson&Johnson vaccine because I didn't want to stop worrying about Covid-19 only to start worrying about ovarian cancer. ![[fnarr]](http://www.myemoticons.com/images/communicate/international/fun-uk/fnarrr-fnarr.gif) Whitefang |

"The potential to significantly reduce the burden of severe disease, by providing an effective and well-tolerated vaccine with just one immunization, is a critical component of the global public health response," said Paul Stoffels, Johnson & Johnson vice chairman of the executive committee and chief scientific officer. "Eighty-five percent efficacy in preventing severe COVID-19 disease and prevention of COVID-19-related medical interventions will potentially protect hundreds of millions of people from serious and fatal outcomes of COVID-19."
Statistics from both manufacturers - Just how much faith do you have in ether's numbers?

Just how is ether involved in all of this? Do they put you under before the shot?

The wifey got her Pfizer #1 Covid Vaccine today at the State Farm (Cardinals) Stadium today took about a hour less to get through the lines to the way out than it took me a week back.

The recent regions having very cold weather may be a great Covid-19 deterrent.

I don't either but just the fact it is in general keeping people more isolated and at less potential contact than the norm. |

Sure. I managed to get to the farmer's market my nephew helps manage and there were THREE of us crowding that place!  Normally at that time of day, there's about 2 dozen customers and two of the three check-out lanes open. Not much traffic on the roads either. And I'm in Southeast Mi. Whitefang |

Last week was the arctic mess here in Texas. After several power interruptions we got a hotel room where the power never went off except for like 5 seconds once. I guess money talks and the serfs walk. We stayed 4 night. The switch between the hotass room and the coldass outdoors, which I was out every day checking the apartment and bringing in some groceries for us at the room-, that dry air really messed with my sinuses. I had just stopped taking a sinus med since I was feeling like with this dry climate it was not important. Wrong. I developed a sinus drip that lasted several days and I was just a sneeze machine. BIG sneezes. So big, I have pulled muscles inside my torso.
The sinus drip got into my upper chest. I will stress this is not Covid. Symptoms do not match. I got some good cough meds and zinc, plus vitamin C and saline, nasal spray, and aspirin, and I'm much improved. But going to see my chiropractor shortly. The expectorant in the cough meds makes me cough of course and it hurts like hell.
I'm still hesitant to get a shot. If everyone else does I should not need one.

I've spent the last 70 years with those. Never coughed or sneezed myself into pulled muscles, but spent a lot of time with cotton mouth from not being able to breathe through my nose. And sadly, I couldn't blame it on a deviated septum.  And about electricity in Texas.... Do you get a utility bill? I heard the electric bills for Texas residents are killers. Huge multi-K bills for NOT getting electric service!  Whitefang |
