I don't have to assume anything. I asked them. I talked to dozens and dozens of my coworkers. I've read the articles where they interviewed people who say why they are not getting the vaccine. Although I can't say why everyone is not getting the vaccine, I gave a list of the 5 common reasons that I have heard and read. Outside of people joking about growing a third arm, developing super powers, having tracking devices injected in their body, etc. the reasons I listed are the only reasons. If people didn't have fear then they would just get the vaccine. Like wearing a mask, it is how we will get the economy open again, but that point seems to evade people just like wearing a mask. Getting vaccinated is the fastest way we can fully reopen society with no masks or restrictions--outside of allowing this virus to infect everyone until we get to herd immunity and killing millions, which is not an option. Society will remain in lockdowns and stores will have restrictions until we drop the death rate and infection rate to endemic levels. I really don't understand as healthcare workers why people would want to take a chance of potentially getting the virus and possibly giving the virus to their patients who could die. We have had several outbreaks in our hospital requiring extensive contact tracing and have had several nosocomial infections. In both cases it was determined that what most likely occurred was a false negative PCR test and a healthcare worker was exposed and then exposed multiple patients. Several patients who had been discharged ended up returning days later with fever and respiratory complications requiring admission.

I'm going in today for my second dose of the Pfizer.
On a separate note: my wife's coworker has a grandmother who is 81 who is dying of COVID. She has been in the hospital for several days, but is not improving despite prophylactic IV antibiotics, fluids and other therapies. She is on 10-12 lpm of oxygen on a non-rebreather, but her o2 sat is just getting worse. They want to intubate her, but she is refusing. The family is going to try to go to Southern California and visit her to convince her to keep fighting, but they won't be able to visit because she is in isolation. Frankly, she is probably not going to make it, even if they tubed her.

I managed to get MomHawk's parents scheduled for their first dose this week as we opened it up to spouses, parents and in-laws of employees over 65 (Georgia is opening up to that class in general this week). Her Dad, who has had a bad set of luck in the last 5 years with various survivable but weakening illnesses, would not survive even a mild Covid case I suspect. They have basically been isolated for a year now, except when he was in the hospital for a bad infection, then later a broken femur. i got them one of the last two reservations as they filled up quickly. This is using the last of the vaccine we received for staff that did not get used by staff.

Let us know how you do. I know this is the one that could potentially kick your ass. I get mine on Wednesday at 7:00am as I mentioned earlier.

UK lockdown getting stricter, news programmes showing and interviewing more people suffering from Covid in hospitals. The government is keen to keep tighter control until the vaccine is well and truly out there so they're going for the shock treatment to stop people mingling.

I just found this:
This means 1 out of 54 adults over 75 has died of COVID in New York City, and 1 out of 142 adults 65-74 has died of COVID. It got me curious to compare to the rest of the US. About 1 out of 160 adults over 65 has died. I didn't find info on how many more ended up in the ICU or in the general hospital, but I did find an article that says, even when confounding variables are accounted for like differences in age, hospital capacity, etc. a person is 3x more likely of dying in March than August. They are mostly attributing that to better treatments because they factored out all other variables. I'm sure things have vastly changed from August though because the hospitals are much more constrained on resources. I wouldn't want to be having to get hospitalized now. I keep telling my parents just to isolate. Luckily my mom has gotten her first vaccine shot. https://www.statista.com/statistics/...new-york-city/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/...vid-by-age-us/ https://www.marketwatch.com/story/a-...hy-11604502372

Well, my almost 93 year old father passed of Covid19 today.
He lived in what I'd consider an upscale senior's home in a nice area in North Toronto and there was a rash of infections there over the last several weeks. I never expected him to be a victim. We figured he had a few more years in him yet, but every few months he would take a fall and need to get patched up by the one of the staff there. On Dec 26 he got up to see the person who we had assist him showering and as he got up he fell and ended up with a nosebleed that didn't stop. He was taken to the hospital and they made sure there was no head injury before he was released and returned. I called him the morning of Dec 29 and he could barely breathe and there was already an attendant in his room. When I asked him to put her on the phone she hung up on me. Anyway he was rushed to the hospital, diagnosed with Covid 2 days later and was looking like he was going to be ok. Then more 2 days later he wasn't getting sufficient oxygen saturation and from there things went from 50/50 to dire. It makes me sad that he left us before he would have otherwise and that I only saw him a few times this year. Before the pandemic I saw him weekly, often with my son who is now 13. I was the only one in the family that saw him in the hospital, then unconscious, and I was in full PPE as specially arranged with them. We will never know how or when he caught it, whether it was the trip to the hospital or the people that assisted him with medications, brought meals, cleaners. I only hope this tragedy teaches us how to better mitigate situations regarding contagion in the future. Apparently 48% of respondents in a huge poll admitted to gathering beyond prescribed over the holidays. I hope greater public education in the future makes a difference. How is it unavoidable for people working in a home of 200 age 80+ people cant avoid getting infected and passing it? Or how could ambulance operators take someone to an emergency be unable to keep a 92 year old safe? Things I'd best leave for now. Sadly they emailed us that they were started vaccinations today where my dad lived.

Bummer man. I hope this vaccine thing gets figured out. Seems like the insurmountable problem wasn’t vaccine development but scheduling.
