      @Matt:

      As far as I know breakthrough infections are relatively mild and rare.  The people dying in hospitals are NOT vaccinated.  You may get sick but you won’t clog up the hospitals taking beds from those who really need them.  Also, being vaccinated, though not full proof, decreases the potential of getting sick and getting others sick.  It also minimizes the risk of mutations that could be even worse than what we’re dealing with now.  Not being vaccinated all but guarantees you will get more severely ill and pass it along to others.  It will also prolong the pandemic.

      Get your vaccine and get your booster.  Vaccines are why we all aren’t dead from polio.

      That’s my $.02.

      This has been the case at our hospital and pretty much the same system wide. For a while, we were double occupied in the ICU & putting in so many trachs and PEGs that we ran out.

      It has been an exhausting experience and my patience and compassion are running thin.

                      I got boosted last Wednesday. It was fast and easy and I had a similar reaction to my second dose. I felt generally unwell for about 12 hours and that was it. I’ll be at full power by the time I’m supposed to see The Black Angels play in a couple weeks!

                        My arm feels like I got a tetanus shot. Basically like it's going to fall off.

                          Mine hurt a lot, too! Taking a little ibuprofen really helped.

                                          Katie got hers yesterday but they only had Pfizer.  She said she’s feeling beat up today.  I’m getting Moderna on Wed.

                                          Fortunately everyone has off on Thursday so if the kids feel bad they won’t miss school.

                                          Small price to pay in my opinion though.  She and I are very excited that we’ll have less to worry about with the kids in the clear.

                                            I got the booster (Moderna) on Friday, felt beat up yesterday, but not as bad as after the second shot. Doing great today.
