Post Vaccine, what will change?

Post Vaccine, what will change?


I was fortunate enough receive my 1st of 2 Covid vaccine injections this past week. The second one is scheduled for a few weeks from now. At least for me it feels like this long period of uncertainty is winding down. I figure it will not be until at least a couple weeks after the second injection when I will consider lowering my guard as far as Covid goes. I will of course continue wear a mask and follow other required guidelines in the public setting, however I'm thinking the biggest change will come in my personal life, such as visiting friends and family. Perhaps even fly somewhere for a visit or vacation.

I was given a CDC vaccination card documenting my<b> receiving </font></b>the vaccine, so I'm assuming as others receive their vaccination they too will receive proof. Chances are it will be a slow process before all or most receive their vaccination.

I know it is a huge relief for me to have received the vaccine. I expect my 2021 to return to something resembling normal. Have you given any thought to how you will proceed knowing the vaccine is or will soon be available to you?

now that i think about it... i guess it would be like being locked in a cave foe a year
then all of the sudden the door opens and the cave is flooded in light

there is a world of difference between insanity and stupidity

When people realize they can't get on a plane, cruise ship or go to a concert or sporting event they will start changing their mind and get the vaccine.

what we should be afraid of is the people

who think everything has changed

before anything actually has.

being rid of 2020 does NOT mean the virus has magically disappeared

and does NOT mean masks and distancing can be discarded.

im glad you got your shot, godspeed to you.

im nobody special, so itll be quite some time before i see mine,

but when its my time ill get it right away.

"well only get through this if we work together. if we dont, none of us will"

For me never. Not getting one.

Humans are the most dangerous animals on earth.

If only animals had the ability to know when to keep away from us humans they would be better off.

People need to be mindful....the shot only lessens the severity if one contracts it. Like a flu shot. iIts not like the chicken pox or mmr that we get....vaccinated ....against as children.
That being said....even with the shot people can be carriers and pass it along to others unknowingly.

I think masks are in our future for the long term. I think handshakes are out the door. I think we will all look askance at that person coughing/sneezing or blowing noses in our presence.

I saw a meme that said: we used to blow out candles and all eat the cake, we were so wild back then.

The studies continue and one thing they know for now is the vaccine does an excellent job preventing infection, but as you said, one can still possibly spread the disease which is different than infection. I still plan on wearing my mask in public and will until the consensus is they are no longer required. I am just happy to know I have less of a chance of getting the deadly covid infection.

Bottom line: vaccines are crucial to ending the Pandemic, but it is uncertain if any of them are the virus-killer we need them to be. Until we fully understand the effects vaccines have on COVID-19, we still need to exercise mask and distancing protocols.

The good news is that science (yes, *science*, not the Trump administration) engineered a highly-effective preventative drug for COVID symptoms that might also block COVID transmission.

The bad news is that the compressed time-line for this *miracle* precluded the testing and analysis required to determine if any of the vaccines will stop the virus from spreading. However, that science is ongoing and will provide answers, likely later this year.

Meanwhile, vaccines make it safer to interact with each other (because our bodies will be able to fight COVID symptoms), reduce the horrible number of COVID fatalities and mitigate the devastating pressure on our health care system.

To that effect, rapid testing is still the best approach to safely interacting with people outside your bubble. For the moment, getting *instant* results are relatively expensive, but home kits are now available without prescription and are improving....my guess is that within a month or two, they will have options that provide reliable rapid results.

We're getting closer to being together again!
