I mean, of course the motivation is health related. (Aside from Internet dick measuring points.) I agree it’s not a passport to more activities now but I do think it’ll be the case in 4-6 months.

If you’re going to tell me when we have 40-60% of the population vaccinated that bars/concert halls/movie theatres aren’t going to be demanding to reopen to vaccinated folks (with the wide support of the American population on both sides of the aisle) so they can generate revenue, you’re very narrow sighted.

really the only reason you are getting it

I do think Yada's point is, you are going to have to wait 6 months for anything to reasonably reopen, so if you get it in April …is it that big of a deal

Just got my shingles vaccine (1st shot).  No line or distribution problems (Costco).

Smart.  Have had it - it sucks.

Somewhat disappointed that I am only tier B in MD. I'm high risk so the sooner the better.

I'm not going to tell you that… But I'm prepared for another very bleak year.

I think things will be significantly better in Q3. Not “normal” but the worst of it solidly behind us.

6757 new covid cases in Virginia

"Los Angeles County on Saturday surpassed 1 million coronavirus cases since reporting its first infection nearly a year before and also recorded its first instance of a new, more contagious variant of the virus that was initially identified in the United Kingdom.'

La Times article estimates 1 in 3 LA County residents have had Covid. County population is 10 million.

I've heard estimates of 35% nationwide, counting asymptomatic, undiagnosed cases.

I can see the Jeff Tweedy, because we have similar glasses and hair. (Though I'm probably 15 pounds over my ideal weight, and he's probably 40 pounds over his.)

In that photo..NY for sure
IRL …maybe tweedy, but maybe joe walsh

I have heard that but for Q4 not, Q3. And can we still even use "Q" as a an abbrev. Maybe just say Ter4.

So, basically you guys are saying i look like any middle aged white guy with hipster glasses and long hair. I have big eyes, Gary Oldman has smaller, squinty eyes. Also, Jeff Tweedy has a bulbous nose a large round head. I have a sharper, more pointed nose and smaller, more oval head. I've also heard Butch Vig more than once, but he's got the droopy lips of a stoke victim and that stupid mustache. My lips are small and unremarkable but not sagging.

Who do people say you guys look like?

Maybe it depends on what you consider "normal?" I wish they had tested the vaccine on 14+ instead of 16+.
