But thank you again.

Libs don’t tend to dive deep and realize all the shared systems that the private/profit sector would never contribute to that society depends on...because it’s not all blatantly obvious...in my experience.

Something I have felt strongly for years is academia saying they have to pay more to get the best and all that does is foment wage inflation. Do we really need to pay 60K for an adjunct prof?
Same for the corporate world, managers say they want x% increase quarter over quarter leads to the disconnect between what the good costs to produce vs what the retail cost is. Madness and price inflation out of control.

Slightly back on topic, @Heppenheimer and those with medical backgrounds...

Obviously I know it will be awhile for me to vaccinate, since I am young, and in good health. Don't work in a high risk or medical setting; so that said, how will I know when it's my "turn"? Will my doctor call me? Will they announce that "anyone" can get a vaccine and you no longer have to be prioritized to get it (then i contact whoever and schedule)? Will I get a flyer in the mail? A dog with a banner running through the neighborhood? Will the police and Microsoft employees knock on my door and escort me to the re-education camp- er I mean local CVS?

Sarcasm aside, I am interested to know, because the moment I can, I am taking it :)

Each state is going to have a different plan so it will be different everywhere. From the plans I have seen the states are keeping the initial phases of vaccination very controlled and limited to fewer sites where only people who qualify for the groups allowed to go in that phase get it. As time goes on and the vaccines get more readily available they will expand to more traditional distribution methods like CVS or your doctor’s office as long as they can handle the requirements of the specific vaccine. In the early stages CVS and Walgreens is being used for vaccination but they are sending technicians out to sites like LT care facilities vs having people come to CVS. Hospitals are doing their own vaccinations. At least by me the hospital is the hub where everyone goes so if you are a primary care doctor who works at an office outside of the hospital you go to the hospital you are affiliated with for your vaccine when it’s your time.

The thing that doesn't make sense is if he had Covid19 and in bad shape he would have been coughing and had a temperature. I knew right away when I got it and there is no way they would have let my fly.

Not everyone with Covid has a cough. It’s probably a more common occurrence than we think (boarding a plane with Covid, not the dying part). If you go to WDW or anywhere by plane and get sick while you are there what are you going to do? Extend your stay to avoid flying while sick? Most people want to be home with family and near their doctor and people that can support them. I would guess the majority of people in that situation get on the plane and try to get home.

This is true. I just visited a friend who lost their spouse to covid. Both had it. My friend had nothing really other than minor sinus pressure. Literally no other symptom. Both sick at the same time. One lived with no issues and the other did not make it out of the hospital alive. So crazy, but there are likely many who are out with minor symptoms like that and no one would know.

And this is why everyone needs to stay the course/stay apart and do maximum precautions until we can clear the cases or immunize.

It’s not a standard set of symptoms and most don’t outwardly exhibit many of them. It’s not bronchitis or strep throat

It was beautiful - I'd highly recommend visiting. The hike up to Kjeragbolten is possibly my favorite hike we've done, though stepping onto the boulder is somewhat terrifying. (My wife in the picture:)

Bless you and your wife, but just looking at this picture gives me a huge surge of anxiety. I HATE heights (even going to my seat in the first row of the balcony will elevate my heartrate). Gorgeous views though!

A friend of mine works at WDW and has Covid. He's 99% sure he got it at work (he works in a resteraunt there). Even worse, he was told to report back in 10 days, regardless of how he feels.

My friend on the west coast here tested positive last week, 10 days at home, 1 negative test and back to work

Almost twenty years ago I took my youngest niece to Disneyworld. I went all out and had the plan that including water recreation. So we went on a boat leaving the contemporary onto bay lake. We were to individually (at different times) strapped onto a kite and towed behind the boat, getting a sky view of the magic kingdom and the area.

Well I know I get a small amount of vertigo (I feel unstable) at heights [I tried to cure this once by standing at the edge of the cliff at Glacier Point in Yosemite years ago...did not cure it [Nor did I fall off].

But back to the boat kite at Disneyworld. The cast member strapping me into the kite said I would not feel vertigo at all, that you only feel that if you have pressure on your feet, and you won't when up high in the air in the kite. Well he was right, I did not feel any vertigo.

I cannot say for others, but rides like Soarin or Avatar Flight of Passage never cause me to get that feeling. Nor do airplane rides, whether civilian, private, or military.
