    Yes, it's common to be noticeably tired for 48 hours after and feel fatigue sooner during exercise for a couple weeks, following second dose.

    oh I was just making a joke about this going to this thread.... for perspective, three and a half months out and 2 hours (total, like combined in a day) of what I would consider “strenuous work” right now— physical labor anything or otherwise sustained heart rate up — and I’m done for the rest of the day and most likely the next.

    yaaa marginal improvement!!

    I didn’t feel right for a week or more. Although admittedly after the first week it could have been the sudden weight gain that made me feel like shit. ( I refuse to drink light beer damnit. I’ll just drink less. )

    Think more why is there tape over the bedding section in a Target? Oh yea it's Sunday and it's not 1pm yet. Basically nothing other than the bare bones of what you may need not to die was available from midnight Saturday until 1pm Sunday.

    Four pack of some strong DIPA's and a bottle of wine later, my tiredness is gone but has been replaced by a mild hangover.

    My armpit is also sore. I think that happened to someone else on here too.

    Don't have to ask. Just wait a few more weeks before seeking a second dose.

    No, they aren't even doing appointments in my area anymore. I got the first one at my county health department. They just list the days and times they are giving 1st or 2nd doses. The only thing they gave me was the date that I'd be eligible for the 2nd dose, which was this past Wednesday.

    Yeah, that policy makes zero sense to me. Either open the store or don't. Have limits to how many people you allow into the store at a time, but restricting certain items is silly.

    Here in Michigan, the big push for closing off certain departments of the stores came from the pressure being put on legislators from specialty stores. Paint stores got shut down because they weren't essential, but Home Depot was open and selling paint. Garden Centers got shut down for being nonessential, but Home Depot was selling flowers, etc. Basically, every lobby group for the specialty stores threw a fit. The argument was that if you wanted people to stay home and not shop for things that weren't essential, no one should be allowed to capitalize on the increased demand for these items while people were stuck at home because you were basically killing the independents while allowing the box stores to rake it in. The secondary argument being that people would be more spaced out as they went shopping for these items if you opened everyone because you wouldn't see a packed Home Depot and three empty stores next door. So, our governor shut down all nonessential departments in the stores to "balance" things out.

    Which, just resulted in the general population getting pissed about not being able to buy paint and seeds... and the big essential stores threatening lawsuits against the state instead of little lobby groups.

    The only store policy that ever made any sense to me was simply limiting capacity based on the square footage of the store to establish social distancing. This requirement seemed to have a basis in reality and was fair to everyone but they eventually fucked that up by putting max capacities regardless of size so that a tiny store (with parking for 10) was limited to 30 and a store 100 times the size was limited to 300 and giant stadiums at 2%.

    As for the blue law department shutdowns I used to run into it all the time on Sunday when we'd have a tubing trip planned. We'd have to drive ten miles in the wrong direction on Sunday to buy beer because all the stores in town had to be shut down. It was only ever a big deal when we wanted to take off in the morning because the neighboring county couldn't sell until Noon on Sunday. We spent more Sunday mornings than I care to admit waiting in the parking lot for the changeover because we forgot we couldn't buy until noon than I care to admit. The only time I run into trouble now is when I'm working 4:00 am to 9:00 pm in the spring. I stopped at the local 24 hour grocery store to pick up some breakfast bars and grabbed some booze for when the day ended because I obviously I didn't want to stop at the end of the day and the cashier had to remind me that it's a sin to buy booze before 7:00 am.

    I could swallow it if it was only on Sundays. We haven't been able to buy anything for several months now (unless you order it and pick it up, which is difficult to do if you need to see it first, like paint or shoes or clothes). Sorry, folks. I agree with the first shut down - no one knew what was going on. Now? Now, it's government groupthink and bad ideas. There's too many examples of areas that stayed open but used social distance and masks and saw about the same infection rate. If they extend it again after June 2 deadline I hope the public mutinies.

    And that's the reason for the shutdown, there are people who are ignoring that and fucked it up for the rest of us.

    You can't argue with numbers. The numbers are that the ICU's were full. The rates of cases needing ICU were increasing. If not a lockdown, how else to get those numbers trending back down?

    NY will start following CDC guidelines regarding masks on Wednesday.

    Notice they say unvaccinated people “should” continue to wear a mask. I guarantee many won’t. And there doesn’t appear to be plans to try and have people prove vaccination status, at least not for everyday stuff like shopping or eating out.
