Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Sooooo depressing. Our numbers are embarrassing (oh, that is what @STACEYH was talking about ) ok, they are disheartening. I just don't understand why they keep piping tourist in.

Me either. You are an island. Should be easy to control.

You know what's interesting for me lately? I'm having a panic attack feeling coming on at times. I used to suffer with those, it's horrible. I got me through it, not sure how. I haven't had a full blown panic attack since the 90's! But now..that feeling is coming back when I'm wearing the mask. Just started this past month! I've been absolutely fine wearing the mask, no problem at all and I completely believe in the affectiveness of them. Not sure what's going on. Makes me mad though.

I can understand, there are some things that can definitely have an impact on mask wearing. It’s just that my husband and grandson both have asthma and both wear masks in the grocery store and such. Hubs sometimes steps into an empty aisle and takes his off for a couple minutes if he’s having a hard time, but it passes and puts it back on. He felt like he definitely should wear one because he has the underlying condition.

It is suppose to double every day. Haven’t you seen the stats from South Africa and England.

Yep, DW figures we'll be over 2,000 in tomorrow's report.

I'm so very sorry for your loss Tropical!!

And the tourists are still welcomed because:
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Neither i nor my wife wants the vaccine but her employer is pushing thier employees to get vaccinated stopping short of requiring it. She decided to go ahead and get it and my employer says its totally up to the individual but I went ahead and got mine today in support of my wife's decision to get it. So far a feel fine. I hate needles but didn't feel it and the site feels fine I guess time will tell.

Ok so time is telling. Feels like I got punched in my arm at the site

Pfizer here, entire family. I got a sore arm for a day all three times. DW and DD were the same with their first 2 but both had several days of hot and red with their booster.

Yes, it take a few hours or a day to kick in....and could be several days before it's gone.
Not sure it has to to with any specific vax, just that shots usually hurt.

They stop short of requiring it because if any unintended consequences affect an employee, the employer could be liable if they had required it. Normally, the manufacturer or developer would be but they have total immunity from any liability. Even if the employers are eventually not found liable either, they would have to fight it. That has bankrupted companies. It would be a lot easier to defend if they hadn't required it.

Yep. I got a flu and a pneumonia (they start that when you get old and old means 65 apparently) Monday last week. One in each arm. Next day wasn't as sore as the Pfizers but the first Shingrix shot Feb 2020 was much worse than the flu, pneumonia and 3 Pfizers combined.

I think that oversimplifies how dependent their economy is on tourism.
