1. Yay. This time I'll be over 65,

I had to wait until April to get the first two Pfizer shots.

2. Good news!

Though it would be better news if everyone got the first two shots - but we're doing our part!

3. I wanted to be vaxxed, pre-Delta,

so I could go back to eating some fast food. Then it became unsafe again once Delta got going here in TaliBama.

4. During the quarantine we had here in New York, no restaurants were open.

But whenever I passed any of the fast food places, McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, the lines of cars at the drive-thru were so long that they sometimes spilled over into the road. So it looks like everyone had the same idea.

Stay safe down there! And I'm still not sure where I fit in, I got the Moderna since that was the first one that was available to me. I'm hoping that Dr. Fauci weighs in since I once heard him say that he got the Moderna, too!

5. The FDA panel also made an informal recomendation

That health care workers, first responder types and possibly teachers should get the booster

6. Rachel Maddow also mentioned that and I couldn't agree more!

We know hospitals are where the Covid cases are and though school just opened a week ago here in New York, there have already been reported cases and the resulting quarantines in three different school districts!

And the first people I knew to get the vaccine - last January - were my two friends who work in the local hospital and my friend who teaches who drove across the entire state to the closest site - before the vaccine was available here.
