No return to school this year is devastating the youth and the teachers......going to have several years of social idiots and retarded children (from the stand point of slow and behind in learning) - going to be fun times -

No politics- but agreed on the kids getting hurt.

I would imagine chili night on the ship isn’t fun later :D
 
So far I’m impressed it starts first pull and collapses for storage ( on end ) and self powered for the copd crowd! It’s like it’s made for old farts.

What time did you get it Craig? I had my 2nd last Friday afternoon, my arm was sore as hell throughout the night. Nauseated all day Saturday.....minus the somewhat sore-to-touch arm Sunday, I was back to normal.

No nausea today, just a sore arm like the first shot caused.
 
@Tom O : that is a sweet looking little mower - the flashy red must mean the owner drives that sucker fast! I have not even seen many TORO commercials in long while - thought they were out of the mower business.......then again...I am not and have not been looking at new mowers...LOL
 
Hey @YYCHM : did they give you a treat after the shot? If not, you probably deserve some little goodie from a tool place......wink wink .....LOL

Glad you are feeling OK - I am hoping the shot works fine for my wife - I am usually ok with needles etc

It's interesting to hear of people's reactions to the different vaccinations. My wife got the Astra Zeneca shot and it set her on her a** more than I've ever seen the worst flu do to her. I on the other hand usually get severe man flu and swear I'm going to die with most flues and when I got the shingles vaccination I thought that would kill me also. So when my time for the covid shot came I was worried....I got the Moderna vac and had a sore arm but nothing else. However I hear the second dose is often a different story. I guess I will find out in a couple of weeks.

Both our shots were Pfizer, and nothing but a sore arm so far. My wife tells me a lady in her office had problems the day after her second shot with nausea and diarrhea?

So far for me just a sore arm from the needle.
 
I have to admit I did feel a little run down the next day and had the same sore arm thing but that’s why they make Tylenol.
 
Well i'm ahead of my oldest son and his youngest, they both have it. They can stay in Kindersley
 
2nd, my first one was back in April.

The sooner I take the 2nd the better.

Canada is now the only country in the world that delays doses. UK tried for a bit. Our wonderful PM, in order not to look bad politically due to US being awash in vaccines decided to delay 2nd does against vaccine manufacturer recommendations. On official AHS pamphlet given with vaccine it states that 2nd does should be take 3 to 5 weeks after first (pfizer). WHO clearly states "WHO suggests that for mRNA vaccines the interval can be extended up to 6 weeks in exceptional circumstances in which countries are facing vaccine supply constraints combined with a high disease burden." See https://www.covid19infovaccines.com...e-interval-between-doses-of-the-mrna-vaccines

The reason for all of this is that there is not sufficient immune response later on to be boosted enough to get full protection (full protection is used here to make things easy to read). Original recommendation was 3 weeks for Pfizer and 4 for Moderna.

Now you know why no one else on Earth went against manufacturer recommendation. You end up with less protected population that may need booster shot earlier.

Note that Astra Zeneca is a different vaccine, here you can delay quite a bit longer - hence UK decision was not based as much on politics as Canadian one was.
 
I got my second jab Monday, felt kinda crappy Tuesday but rebounded just fine yesterday. I got the AZ shot first time out, but since they are short on supply now and the approval to mix doses I was able to get the Pfizer dose for the second. The mixing is supposed to have greater effectiveness over the double AZ shots according to the studies, but does come with stronger reaction symptoms for the second dose.
 
I got my second yesterday, was booked for it next thursday but got a phone call yesterday that they had a cancellation and offered the dose to me....never looked forward to getting a "dose" before....
Sore arm and a bit lethargic last night but appear to be back to normal now.
