Holy crap! It's so weird given that literally everyone I know was desperate to get vaccinated without incentives. My barber today said "It's not like god - with the vaccine you have to trust someone who doesn't have your best interests at heart" which totally fucked with my head, but she's still getting her first dose on Saturday without a million dollar bribe.

Got my second Moderna on Monday. In-out, 25minutes.
Sore arm, still. That aside, I've burnt my bra and am onwa... sorry, burnt my mask, and... what?
Yeah. At least I'm not autistic.

My brother got his appointment for this Saturday morning. While glad to get vaccinated, he pointed out that Monday to Friday his job is letting people be vaccinated without using annual or sick leave, and Saturday morning means that he gets neither a lie in or overtime.

Got a message to say that my age group is eligible now, so went onto the NHS vaccination website to book. Apparently the nearest centre is now 10 miles away, which is annoying (my dad's was within 3 miles) but manageable, so I selected a slot for the end of the month and then went to book the second dose. Chose the same centre, no availability. Finding a new centre yields nothing within 20 miles, which is just ridiculous.
Not sure whether to hold off and see if the more local sites might open up some slots at a later point, or to prep myself for a much longer journey. I also can't just book the first slot, both have to be booked at the same time.

Somehow this combination of actions do not fill me with confidence.
Apologies Caja: That may be the second time I've mistaken you for ad hoc. Sorry.

How this mandate rolls down will be interesting - it will likely be a case of adverse selection where those that could still benefit from a mask mandate pull back immediately whereas it sticks around in my area for months even though I am pretty certain we are at herd immunity, at least in the adult population.

Was chatting with some Manhattan friends and neighbours about this, all of whom live in multi-unit buildings like ours that have had mask mandates in common areas, limits on numbers in lifts, etc for over a year by now.
None of us have seen any indication of any desire for relaxation, nor do any of us expect one for months (if then).
As I have noted before, much of the national discourse around masks feels very removed from our daily experience.

Yeah, I can't imagine being comfortable not wearing my mask outdoors if I'm in a somewhat crowded area where I have a high chance of walking by someone else, or inside a store even not next to someone outside of my household.
Our oldest daughter got her first dose yesterday. A long wait at a CVS, and everyone in line was parents with their kids. Apparently most local pharmacies are allowing for walk-ins, no appointment needed.
