I have to agree. It sounds like AUS has pretty solid oversight and are actually finding and taking action on errors in handling and storage. I can easily imagine these incidents just being totally ignored in other countries and only later finding out that millions of people were given expired or spoiled vaccines but we don't know exactly it's probably fine. People are screwing up in the first week and they're being publicly held to account, which will make everyone else pay closer attention. It's the opposite of a shitshow.

Lolie posted:Not to mention that the October deadline was based on the AZ vaccine doses being administered 2 weeks apart. The TGA approval is for them to be given at least 4 weeks, and up to 12 weeks, apart - which is the dosing interval supported by the evidence to date. I explained somewhere earlier in this thread that the 12 week split won't really make any difference in a vaccine rollout timeline. Consider 6 groups that each take two weeks to get a single jab: instead of going A/A/B/B/C/C/D/D/E/E/F/F (each letter representing a 2 week period), you just go A/B/C/D/E/F/A/B/C/D/E/F and still vaccinate the same number of people over a 24 week period. It only delays anyone in the last 10 weeks of the vaccination roll-out. Nam Taf fucked around with this message at 10:46 on Feb 26, 2021 |

As a full time WFH computer pusher, I'm not likely to get vaccinated until the summer. That's totally fine; I'm completely ok with others getting it before me. But it's going to be a challenging year for me supporting our local businesses. We have a local bakery that tried to stick it out through May, but unlike every other restaurant in the area, didn't immediately get an online ordering system and stayed shuttered through October. It was mystifying to me (although the "We support our local police" sign they planted since fall made me suspicious). The bakery isn't on my way to my kids current daycare so I don't drop by there on the once-weekly basis that I used to. However, since reopening they have changed their hours to be closed both weekend days. Since covid, most restaurants around here are closed on Sundays (and I can buy low demand as the reason) but Saturday? That's kind of unbelievable to me given a different bakery 10 miles away has a long line of social distanced customers for their amazing donuts the few Saturday mornings I've been there. Last night I felt in the mood for something special this morning, checked out the local bakery's FB page and saw they were having sticky buns! AWESOME! I stop by this morning, paying careful attention to the door to make sure they haven't transitioned to order-only (they have not) and that they indeed had the state mandated "you need masks to come in here" sign. Upon walking in, my observation was that the their normal selection of cookies and pastries on their tables was maybe 1/3 of what they normally had pre-covid. It was shocking and I thought "wow, business must be doing poorly". Next, I noticed the owner near the register with her masked pulled down talking to an employee. As I approached the counter, she walked away, and I was greeted by a familiar older woman, possibly in her 70s, without any mask whatsoever. Despite the plexiglass separating us, I was taken aback. Mentioning the Facebook post about sticky buns, I asked for four and was told, "Ah, we're only doing those as orders and any that are left over will be out later" (The FB post made no mention of "order only"). I politely said, "Ok, I'll be back later" and made mental note to not stop here again until well after I've been vaccinated. As I drove away, it occurred me that given their apparent ages, both the owner and employee must have been vaccinated to not be wearing masks. And doing the Boomer-American thing of "going back to normal without a mask".

The owner and employee most likely haven't been vaccinated at this point, they're just anti-maskers. I stopped supporting a few local businesses for that exact reason. My wife and I got takeout from a restaurant we love back in April. The place was packed with people, servers were the only ones with masks. I feel bad for everybody working there, but I can't support ownership that lets that go on.

I took a step back, politely, from some lady who ran up to a girl scout cookie booth with no mask on (imagine running up to little kids with no mask on) and she sneered at me "yeah, I know, I'm typhoid mary, whatever". The mom of the kids then pulled her mask down to be able to be heard more clearly. This is absolutely normal around here. I am so glad to hear a story of someone who is shocked by this behavior to remind it is not okay or normal and I'm not the only person who thinks that. E: A Fancy Hat: that's literally every restaurant here. Every single one of them.

Woof on those restaurants. There have been a few like that here (Western PA) but *generally* places are doing what they need to. Also that woman running up to the girl scouts reminds me of Halloween this past year. My wife and I decorated the front yard and set up a table with individual bags for any kids who did come by. One woman comes by unmasked with her kids and starts screaming at us for wearing masks ("you're scaring the kids!"). Yeah lady, these kids are terrified.

My local bagel place that I go to for breakfast sammies had a panera bread built literally across the road from it a couple years ago so I like to support them, they're great with masks and only allow 2 people inside to order then you have to wait outside until the order's done which is nice. But I talked to the owner about their business maybe getting back to normal the other day and he said he's losing a ton of money because they used to make a chunk of their income on catering jobs for local offices. I hadn't even considered that aspect of it, I can't imagine having to somehow carry a small business through this. There's been so many places around me that closed up in the last year and it just loving sucks to see them all while driving around now.

Yeah, and a poo poo ton of legit, good small businesses that could've really used the ppp loan didn't get it while bigger places did. I'd have much rather have seen that money go to the family of 8 who owns a tiny taqueria down the road rather than that one rear end in a top hat who owns 4 car dealerships.

My wife (county public-facing worker) becomes eligible for a covid vaccine in santa clara county, next week. She says she can't find appointments: only the county large vaccination sites are giving the vaccines to under 65's, lots of other places are still offering vaccines to 65+ only. Is there some way to figure out when these sites add vaccination availability slots? I should maybe write a script or something to check but I'm sure someone has already done something similar.

Their system sucked to use on a phone, too, you couldn’t see what appointments were available at a given site without having to re-enter all your info again to see other sites available appointments.

Next week my city is allowing restaurants to open back up for limited patio dining. And we will be able to leave the city limits on weekends. I don't think it will make a huge difference but I will selfishly miss the quiet sidewalks. Also no vaccines in sight around here. I think they are still working through the 85+ and health workers. I've stopped paying attention.

First dose she said her arm hurt but otherwise no other symptoms. Second dose though, her arm hurt a lot and for the next 18 hours she felt like poo poo. But after that she was fine. My dad was in the initial Pfizer study back in September. Around December Pfizer allowed the study to tell people involved who got the vaccine and who got the placebo, my dad was one of the lucky ones, so he's had it since early September with no problems at all. I'm on a few lists but haven't gotten selected yet. Can't wait.

I wasn’t expecting that at all since I had only heard about the malaise/fatigue which, definitely had that too for about 36 hours. I have a feeling my second shot is gonna suck but there’s no way it’s going to be as bad as when I had the real thing.

I thought I heard somewhere you might just get one shot as a booster, and that first shot typically feels like the second shot other people get with worse side effects and such since your immune system is somewhat already primed.

Are there any countries that one can fly to if they want to receive the vaccine legally and without skipping any lines? I'm assuming not because the vaccines are meant for residents and otherwise there would be a large wave of people flying in but just curious.

Australia is making the vaccine available to everyone here, including those whose status isn't currently legal. That said, we have many residents still stranded oversees who have no idea when they'll be able to return, so obtaining permission to enter the country is a problem (unless you're Matt Damon and fly in by private jet).
