I got a call at 5:30 PM today, asking if I could come in earlier than
my
9PM appointment for my first shot. I had it in my arm by 6:15. My
second
appointment is for Feb 23. All legally done without difficulty. How
nice
it is to live in a well run Democratic state.

You mean as opposed to a poorly run state, like NY? The roll out is a
disaster
there, websites don't work, phones don't get answered despite remaining
on
the line for four hours. And the over arching message is, "we don't
have
enough vaccine"! Gee, really? It's been clear for months that supply
won't
be up to demand for probably at least 6 months. Cuomo, de Blasio,
geniuses
in charge. They spend more time arguing with each other than anything
else.
Oh, Cuomo had time to write a book about how to manage Covid in the
middle
of this. Maybe if last summer he had spent that time figuring out a
uniform
approach, a website that works, etc they wouldn't be in chaos now.



Can't speak about NY but you have to look at the whole system. Here in
Florida people are complaining they had to hold on the phone or keep
dialing.

Think about it. One Florida county has over 200,000 eligible people.
Most are calling the minute it goes active. Even if half try, it is
100,000 people.


So they should have started taking reservations back in Sept. This week,
people with last names beginning with A-F are encouraged to register.
We all knew this was coming and it's not rocket science. The America
that put a man on the moon, that won WWII, that crushed the USSR,
has fallen badly and can't get up.


That last is bull****. It will get up fine, you watch.
