    Just got off a zoom call with the inlaws. My wife's cousin and his wife are both Dr's in Los Angeles and they said the hospitals are at about 120% ICU capacity but the biggest problem is hiring help. Literally not enough hands.

    His wife is also pregnant and they said she was almost the first staffer to get the vaccine. They said pregnant women can have serious complications from the 'vid and virtually zero complications from the vaccine.

    Scratch that, sister and other niece waiting on test results. They started having loss of taste and other mild symptoms this morning.

    Got my first vaccine dose yesterday. A little injection site pain and fatigue yesterday, but I feel normal today. Just slightly more autistic than normal.

    I’m not sure about all that, but the injection hurt very little. Normal sharp pinch sensation.

    I immediately clicked and read this because my forehead has been smooth as new fallen snow for 4 years now thanks to neurotoxins. Fortunately for me, this side effect seems to only occur with fillers - and Botox is definitely used by Gwyneths and Karens, but it is also definitely not a filler.

    TheOntario finance minister is “really sorry” he took a Caribbean vacation during the middle of lockdown. There was nothing he could do, the tickets were non-refundable.

    Fat useless fuck Doug Ford says “this won’t be tolerated again”. Why are you tolerating it at all? Find your tiny balls under your gelatinous gut and fire the fucking asshole. NOW.

    I think his body count from the rehab show is 2. Including the bass player from Alice in Chains.

    That’s how they should be treated by now. Scream at them, insult them, humiliate these idiots in public. I no longer see anything wrong with that.

    Not strong enough. Scream at them, then kill them. Kill them all.
    And kill anybody who didn’t scream at them.

    The void.
    In my small Texas city, Vaccines were made available to 65+ and to those with comorbidities yesterday.

    There was a 3.5 hour wait yesterday. They stopped letting people get in line at 3:30 so they could finish by 7.

    I took my mom this morning. It was 15 degrees and we showed up 20 minute before they opened. 700ish people in line already.

    I’m not an expert so I can’t say it’s a clusterfuck, but it certainly feels like one. There has to be a better way to get this shit done than having old people wait in the cold. We have no idea how many doses are available so who knows if there will even be enough to last until noon.

    We had months and months to plan for this and this is the best we could do?
