Pandemic rollercoaster

 
I had stashed this found image away, after hearing that friends and loved ones were getting their shots rapidly. Maybe I'd never have to use it?

A new vaccination site had opened at City College, Moscone Center (where we got ours) was chugging along, the Capp Street site in the Mission was jabbing folks from the neighborhood.

And now this: 

San Francisco will pause vaccinations at Moscone Center and City College as supplies run out

The City blames the State. The State blames the Feds. The Feds apparently say there is just not enough vaccine. They are probably all correct. 

Somehow, we have to keep from taking our frustration out on each other. 

Meanwhile, drug companies have made themselves socially useful for a change. Think about this account of vaccine trials from Dr. Ashish K. Jha on twitter:

If we can organize ourselves, despite all the imperfections of the system, we can at least expect that people won't die of this thing.

This is true in L.A. County, too, with ever-changing designations as to who can get shots where and when. Ive started trying to make an appointment at a nearby drive-thru. What a joke! I don’t fret as also am willing to wait to see if they’ll ever allow my independent pharmacy’s group to administer the vaccine as they have so many other vaccinations.

Got confusing here in San Antonio TX. Our Mayor and County Judge wrote the feds for direct as our Governor (Rep) is being stingy with our county run by Democrats. I'm not even going to try to schedule at this time. My husband has dementia and I don't care to expose him to a line or cancellations.
