Been too long since a reply to this topic so... It been much better across the country since February when covid cases started going down. It got to the point where my local hospital decided to cease publishing capacity numbers three times a week in Facebook. When it's stopped, its covid unit was only around half full.
This month Oklahoma's average covid daily cases number has fallen from several thousand a day to now several hundred a day. Hopefully, they can keep down, though other states haven't been able to say the same.
I finally got off the fence and decided to get my first covid shot, by Pfizer, Tues. morning at the Expo Center, Payne County Fairgrounds, Stillwater. No real wait, even though I was there 5 minutes early. In and out in little more than 20 minutes. The only waiting was expected where they have you go into a large room after the vaccination to sit with a bunch of other people spaced 6 ft. apart to wait 15 minutes for possible bad side effects. Nobody had any while I was there. It's been no worse than getting a flu shot, or the after effects, now with shot site sore. My friend said it was the same with her.
After my 2nd Pfizer shot and when the local city mask ordinance expires on May 25, I look forward to quit wearing a mask in stores and getting back to the good old normal days. One of my favorite local restaurants, Mexico Joe's, put salt and pepper shakers back on the tables, so that is a good sign local restaurants are getting anxious to get back to normal.
