He got to spend those few months on a football team instead of being safe at home, tho. Totally worth a debilitating illness and never playing again.

You mean like the kid who got Covid at home because his was canceled and died?

Stephens’ high school, which initially announced that he had died of complications of COVID-19, now says the cause of death is unconfirmed.

Which is it?

Oh snap.

36 hours past first Pfizer shot.

No side effects except maybe a tiny bit of soreness at the injection site last night while sleeping but that’s it.

Shot 2 on 3/16 which sucks if I have side effects for St. Patrick’s Day.

Freddy’s hashtag was right. It was a dumb comparison

One appointment available at 3/10 locations within 50 miles of me but "someone already got it".

This is beyond absurd.

Where are you trying to book? There’s still a bunch of appointments showing for next Wednesday on University Blvd. Washington Pike as well.

Post by **mac5155** » Thu Feb 25, 2021 12:21 am

That's about a 1 and 1.5 hour drive, so didn't really want either of those.

Greensburg, Uniontown, Monroeville would be preferable..

I’ll keep an eye on things

Preciatecha.

That website is good too, but there must be a glitch in their system where it just sees 1 appointment is available and shows up. When there's only one appointment available, you can never seem to select itm

Friend of mine drove all the way to Erie to get hers. She had cancer recently and really wanted it.

is there some reason we don't just wall off the 5 boroughs, kind of like Chicago in Divergent?

There's about to be an avalanche of these kind of headlines "worrying", "nightmare", "devastating", "terrifying" in the next few weeks...gotta drum up some business...

My coworker, who we're all pretty sure had it last February (her O2 dropped below 90 and she spent a month and a half in the hospital), but was never tested because she didn't travel internationally (Florida), did the drive up to Erie to get hers as well.

Woof, one of our faculty was fired for refusing a mandatory COVID test. Their reasoning? They didn't want the government to have their DNA.

If the gubmint wants your DNA, they're gonna get it.

These people crack me up. You think you're that damn important that the government ever even thinks about you, let alone think you're important enough for them to take your DNA? To what end?

They were a nutter. Lots of Q nonsense, according to one of my staff who lived in the same apartment complex. Batshit crazy stuff.

This. Also the people worrying that the government is going to track them also carry around smart phones wherever they go. The government doesn't need your DNA or to implant a chip in your arm to track you. You already willingly give them that info.

That's why you use a flip phone, right?

Post by **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:00 am

I'm curious, if you were offered a free microchip plant, would you get it?

Obviously it's dumb to think that there's a microchip in a vaccine, but saying "you already have a phone" doesn't do it for me. While yes, I am willingly giving that information to the government right now, I can always throw my phone away. It's not part of me. A theoretical microchip would be different. I wouldn't want that. Where literally, no matter what, you can always be tracked. That is a little terrifying

but thinking you wouldn't get a test because they think they'll steal their DNA (you know, as opposed to getting a blood sample at the doctor's or some other obvious way to get your DNA) is ludicris. What are you even afraid of with your DNA? that they'll clone you?
