A Numbers Game...

Yesterday was eventful. We rented a car and I took my long-time companion for her 2nd jab, she got the Pfizer vaccine, out at an abandoned K-Mart in the Western suburbs, a defunct store now fully operational as a vaccination site run by the U.S. Army. It was busy place, with lots of folks streaming in and out. Inside there were long, snaking lines, and about 30 or so vaxx stations dispensing the magic elixir. 

A pretty impressive operation. U.S. Army Medics doing the good work.

The science tells us my friend will be at peak immunity from Covid-19 in 2 weeks. So a huge step forward toward the community of immunity in this household. It's been a long, strange, journey, indeed. We do feel like we have put the fear of Covid-19 behind us. There are still clouds of death and disease hovering over the human herd. 

We hear crazy-ass stories of some folks in deep denial and resistance to the vaccine. Mind-boggling. Human Beings are tricky. And it's clear that some of us are committed to being uncooperative, irresponsible assholes, putting everyone else at risk. You hope the non-assholes outnumber the assholes. It is sort of numbers game now.
