    The elementary school two blocks away just got shut down for Covid, somebody on staff tested positive and the entire school may have been exposed (we're thinking one of the lunch ladies). Then I turn on the TV and see these 38,000 freaking idiots sitting side-by-side and maskless at the Texas Rangers game yesterday. What a stupid $@&*#%! country.

    My daughter's best friend at that school started displaying symptoms yesterday and tested positive today; he's 10 years old and right now is in bed with a high fever and muscle aches.

    That's not paranoia, that's fact as of ten minutes ago when we talked with his mom. Unfortunately the odds are pretty good that he won't be the only one.

    I know they are not currently vaccination children <16 years of age. Overall, in your area, what is the vaccination rate?


    My city as of 10 days ago is ~30% (low), very affluent areas nearby are >55%.

    Looks fantastic.


    Headed up to Calistoga this Saturday for a private wine tasting, and then a birthday dinner with my two daughters, their spouses, and my wife. Hot springs here we come!

    I'm considered Long Island (though I'm off the main land) but my county is at 34%. Total county population is 1,400,000. 500,000 have at least one shot.

    Long Island tends to lean Republican also, so I know a lot of people who are just not going to get it. I suspect we will get to about 60-65%

    3 adults, 2 children found dead at York County home

    Not far from my house. Are states now competing for which can get the highest kill count per massacre?

    UPDATE: It appears the shooter was a former pro NFL player...

    Colorado Springs (well, the county anyway) is at 25% for full vaccination, 38% for at least one shot.

    Ah okay, I didn't get that; no worries.

    Got the call from work (military sponsored) yesterday so went in and got my first Covid shot, the Pfizer one. Never felt the needle, the injection, and not a single side effect yet, not even a sore spot. So far it's far better than annual flu shot, shingles shots (those absolutely sucked), and most others. Rumor has it the second one is worse, I guess we'll see in a couple of weeks.

    That's great to hear! The worst for me was a really sore arm for almost exactly 24 hours.

    Had Pfizer 6 weeks ago. No pain or side effects. Got the second shot two weeks ago. Had a sore arm for 2 days. I think the soreness has more to do with the skill (or lack of) of the person giving the shot, than anything else.

    I had the Pfizer shots. Zero side effects from either shot and sore arm only the first night after the shot.

    Exact same shot; exact same side effects for me.

    My 20-year old son and I both had the J&J one-shot five weeks ago. My 17-year old son had the first of the Pfizer shots late last week with no side effects other than a sore arm the same day. We’ll see how his second shot goes.

    When I got the 1st moderna shot, didn't even feel it. Was nervous they pulled a fast one on me. But about 3 hours later arm became sore. Sore arm lasted about 3 days. No other symptoms. Getting 2nd shot on Thursday.

    Hoping Godzilla vs Kong still showing in good theaters about 2 weeks from then, as will celebrate "immunity" by going to see it.

    Is there a common, or default, quantity for Roman numeral editions (as 26 and 52 are common for lettered)? Suntup produced 5 of The Time Machine and 10 of The Exorcist; Cichon's recent edition of rebound If It Bleeds was 12, and Centipede did 25 of Salem's Lot (not numbered 1 - 25, but 1 - 10 and 1 - 15).

    I see no pattern here, but I suppose there could be a convention, even if commonly ignored.

    Thoughts?

    Convention? No.

    Thoughts? Of course...

    Roman numerals were historically used to designate the limitation of editions deluxe in whatever amounts the publisher felt like publishing. The idea of a lettered edition became more prominent eventually replacing Roman numerals by and large. A special publication in limited quantities being designated with Roman numerals can be in any amount. They do tend to be used for extremely limited (fewer than lettered) editions though.
