I second Jeff's well wishes! :)

Good news today. Colorado's governor says they're going to open up vaccinations to my age group starting February 8! Now, to try to get on a list for an appointment...

CellarDweller:
Good luck, Lee!  Keep us posted, please!

Have I already written about this on my blog?  ???

Yesterday my teammate told me she has an appointment for late February to get a vaccine at a hospital in the region. She allowed as having the appointment doesn't necessarily mean there will be vaccine available at the time of her appointment. She said that she'd "heard" that this hospital was offering appointments. She spent two and a half hours online trying to get an appointment because the website kept crashing. I'm glad for her if she can get one, but I don't understand how she could get an appointment. Age-wise she doesn't yet qualify. I suppose it's possible she might have a health condition I'm unaware of, or maybe it has something to do with her daughter having had Covid-19 back in the spring.

It's so screwed up in Philadelphia. The city had partnered with a "nonprofit" to administer vaccines. Then the 22-year-old who was running the outfit turned the nonprofit into a "for profit" without telling the city. Plus he has been accused of taking four doses home with him and giving them to friends (he's not trained to give shots; he claims the vaccines were about to expire, and he "couldn't find" anyone else to give the doses to). The city has parted ways with him. They're still trying to vaccinate health care workers; I forget where they are on first responders and teachers.

I registered with the city, or maybe preregistered would be a better way to say it, but I have no idea when, maybe even if ever, I'll be able to get one.

Sounds like Amanda's efforts to get Pearl Jam tickets on the Ticketmaster site last year. She and I were going to go to their concert in Baltimore near where she lives in Delaware but you had to get pre-approved even to get admitted to the site to try for tickets. She did all that, but then the site kept freezing and crashing and she never succeeded. We were both disappointed, as much by missing the prospect of a fun visit as by missing the concert.

It was just as well, though. The concert was scheduled for March 24, 2020.  :o

Here they just held an open lottery for vaccines for anyone over 65. Other than that, I don't think anyone has gotten them but frontline/essential workers.
