I'm not holding my breath on Abbott doing anything beyond political posturing/semantics as far as covid restrictions. I'll be shocked if I can walk around stores tomorrow in Austin without a diaper.

Most likely COVID and my guess is he is going to be eliminating most all capacity limits. Mask will still be linked to infection rates per county but the rates will be changed from what we have now.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Only a small proportion of the population has actually been vaccinated. But Texas is Texas so ... As of last week 16.7 percent of the state was vaccinated. I don’t have the full breakdown in front of me on who has gotten it but a large majority is those are in health care that are at a higher risk on getting it and those that are a higher rate of a bad outcome if they do get it. Add that with the amount of people that have had COVID along with some political BS on how test are performed and this helps answer why you see a dramatic drop in positive cases. The percentage of those that are vaccinated should being going up dramatically soon if the J&J vaccine comes in good numbers as it can be given by more locations compared to the other 2 vaccines. The J&J version should be the silver bullet that we need. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Only a small proportion of the population has actually been vaccinated. But Texas is Texas so ... And only a small portion of Texas is going to get vaccinated. I think they realize this and are saying fuck it. There is a HUGE backlog of people trying to get in for vaccination, but the .GOV doesn't have the Vaccines to meet the demand of even the very limited groups now qualified. If vaccination centers were tumbleweed ghost towns, I'd agree with you, but I'm seeing folks spending weeks trying to thread the needle to get their vaccination between the State, the County, the City & Private systems to get COVID Vaccinations. Currently only two groups Class I-A (Medical Staff) or Class I-B (Medically Compromised) are eligible for vaccination. As crazy as it is for people who already qualify to get an appointment, it will go off the charts bonkers when it opens to those outside of Class I-A & Class I-B. Not that opening the state up is a BAD thing, but it's like lifting the landing gear retract control while on the takeoff roll before getting enough airspeed. Guess we'll see if we fly or flop... |

You have to be careful when you see any numbers in the press showing the backlog of people wanting it. Most of the numbers have not been deduplicated as a large amount of people have singed up for multiple locations hopping to find a shot faster. At this point if you really wanted to get a shot and you qualify you could most likely get it in a week if your willing to drive. Thankfully it’s not as bad as it was a month back. |

I had my annual checkup with my GP this morning and he asked if I wanted the vaccine or pneumonia shot and I told him no to both. Surprisingly, he said no problem.

No disrespect, but with the limitations of only smallish segment of the population, (Medical, Elderly & Medically compromised) there are still people waiting weeks to get an appointment. I know that personally. When the Big Rush comes, (General Population - Open to Everybody) I'm thinking it will make these bottlenecks seem minor. But again, only time will tell. The J&J one shot without special storage requirements vaccine will do much to boost protection WHEN it is widely used in the General Population, but it isn't yet widely distributed, nor is the most significant portion of the population even allowed to get vaccinations. So looks like we'll see how it all plays out in the next couple of Months. I hope it goes well, but hope only goes so far when it comes to disease. |

The J&J vaccine is already being delivered and now in use but it’s like any other pipeline. It takes some time to build up but when it does in the next few weeks the amount of places that can give it out will most likely shock you. |

I foresee many businesses to still require customers to wear masks until federal level/CDC makes a change. The question will be to what extent the businesses try to enforce it, most don't want confrontations in their stores or their employees at risk.

How long after her second dose did she become sick? What vaccine did she get? The jokes usually on people that don’t understand correlation, causation, Anecdotes or how medicine works.

People I know (including myself) who have no real plans on getting the vaccine are - generally - going about their daily lives. COVID - with the exception of having to wear a magic talisman to avoid dealing with karens - is such a low concern as to be almost irrelevant. |

I also believe that those that are hiding in their house should not be dictating to others that they can’t go out and live their normal lives to.

Meanwhile, my dad; -Felt funny for a day, he thinks -Had a biopsy for a possible skull tumor causing severe headaches delayed for a month because he tested positive for the illness he had apparently caught a month earlier -Got bumped up on the vaccine priority list *because* he had recovered from Covid (tell me that makes any sense at all) and was told he had to get it to receive medical care -Had an ENT do an 'off the books/after hours' examination in violation of normal protocols because he was afraid my dad could be dying during all these delays (thankfully some non-invasive intervention seems to have helped him recover on his own, so far, turns out it was a serious infection & he's slowly beating it) -Got the first shot, felt funny -Got the second shot, laid the fuck out for three days, still sore/tired a week later -Finally scheduled for biopsy surgery in several weeks, but maybe not since he got lucky & the serious infection appears to be waning. So basically he was denied medical care for a serious condition for no reason, and given a vaccine in short supply/extreme demand for no reason, and was lucky enough to pull through on his own strength in the end. Oh, and nothing but Tylenol for his severe migraines all the while, becuz war on opiates (nevermind it's fucking rough on an older man's liver) And this is a fairly wealthy man with good health insurance, mind you. We're diving headlong into the insane inefficiency and waste of a tyrannical socialist system, and the fucking Doomers are cheering how much their hair is being blown back by the ride.

Huge amount of vaccine spoilage still occurring, hence why they are relaxing the storage requirements as a stop-gap. I don’t have the data for all vax sights in Texas but what I have been related to the waste is very minimal and the goal is to have zero and they come very damn close to it if not meeting that goal every time. Some of the areas that do have waste is where the liberal government officials stick their neck into it to much and claim racism. There Is a doctor in the Houston area they are trying to prosecute because they don’t think he was being equitable with how he gave it out. He had one does remaining and only 15 mins left before it had to be wasted. He tried as hard as he could to give it to a person that was “qualified for it”. When nobody showed up that he called he finally gave it to his wife because the only other option was to send it down the drain. Other clinics where the government are not involved they keep list of backups to give it to and will give it to anyone that is willing to receive it that shows up like care givers that show up with those that were scheduled. The main issue with the reservation system is the lack of central registration. I would guess a majority of the no shows are people that are registering with multiple clinics and don’t bother to cancel any duplicate visits and or don’t have the ability to cancel. |
