Oso planning to go pro
Good to see that most of Scoop are getting vaccinated.A few anti-science outliers, but less than I expected.
Chick and I get our second Moderna this afternoon. Trying to be as productive as possible in the run-up as we're not sure how well we'll feel tomorrow.
Last night (the evening after a 12 pm 2nd dose of Moderna) I felt baked, so I ordered Jet's pizza and chocolate ice cream. It was great. I made it until 10 pm and fell asleep immediately listening to the sultry voice of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.Overnight I didn't have a fever, but my temperature control was all out of whack starting at midnight. Muscle aches and joint pain set in, which was mildly frustrating but nothing totally abnormal for a middle-aged dude. This morning I woke up and the muscle aches and swollen joints persisted, along with a serious case of foggy brain.
Not a bad experience overall compared to having the flu/cold, but I'm thankful I took yesterday afternoon and this morning off.
Got my 2nd Pfizer on Wednesday at 11am. Wednesday was fine until about 8pm. Thursday was definitely rougher than that. Almost back to 100% today.
We're hoping to be 100% by Sunday, Monday at the latest.
Hoping you are close to 100% tonight.
So no reaction to the vaccine at all? Just typical post-Jet's symptoms? But from one Jet's fan to another, glad you're feeling better already, Skat.
Glad to hear Dano and Ska are doing better.I do think this is important:Employers should give those recovering from the vaccine a day off with pay.
My employer told us we didn't have to take PTO if we weren't feeling well after getting the vaccine. I originally sent out an email saying I was going to be offline most of the day after my 2nd Pfizer dose as I wasn't feeling well. The problem with working from home though is it's too easy to check in on things like I did when I couldn't sleep and I ended up working quite a bit that day. But it definitely wasn't a full day that I put in and I was appreciative that they said you didn't have to take PTO. They also said you didn't have to take PTO if you were going to get your vaccine during a work day.
Regarding nursing home staff not being vaccinated, that should be expected.The three craziest Q/Trumpers I used to see on Facebookare all friends and ‘nurses’. They all work at one big nursing home between McHenry and Crystal Lake.They all work there after previously having hospital experience. Just seemed off, so I asked a mutual friend during the pandemic as these ‘healthcare professionals’ were routinely sounding off against science.They were all terminated from their previous jobs due for refusing to get the flu shot. A couple bounced around between locations, but they all ended up at one nursing home that doesn’t require the flu shot. Clearly won’t require the vaccine.For those with family in homes, it’s a question worthy of asking.
For those who think vaccine passports will never happen, consider what the New York Yankees are currently doing:https://www.mlb.com/yankees/ballpark/health-and-safety/testing-requirements-faqIf state and local governments continue to restrict access to sporting events, teams and leagues could create demand for the development of a full vaccine passport system in an attempt to get exemptions from the restrictions.
