    I have found similar info for California, but even several of my family members fall into those categories when we call no one has any info (we've called our docs and checked our county health websites)

    Thanks so much! This means that my sister should get it soon. Although she is concerned and wants to wait for more data and is fine being somewhat of a hermit. I hope she DOES get it soon.

    In Oklahoma, county health departments are doing vaccinations. The news has been listing ways to contact them all. Oklahoma county started making appointments today.

    My mom got her first dose. She’s in rural TN. It was drive-by and took less than an hour in line. You had to have an appointment and then show proof of being over 75.

    The only way she knew who to call was that a friend told her the night before that she heard about the number to call. I have looked at their county health department and can’t see any evidence of how to get the shot, and they told her they weren’t advertising it.

    Who disagreed with this and why?

    Oklahoma county had nearly 200,000 apply for, over 111,000 approved for the vaccine today. Only 1200 doses available. All done early and it ran fairly smoothly, according to the local news. Now just waiting for more vaccine.

    I haven't heard anything here in Dyer County. Why would they not advertise?!

    Someone with nothing better to do or don't know better I think. Oh yes the anti-vaxers maybe? Wonderful she got her shot. Hopefully she gets to have the next one when due.

    Still no Covid here which I can't believe.

    Maybe pro-vaxers do the same from time to time?

    The disagree might have been since it was said they aren’t advertising it.

    Also, because of the position of the disagree button, it's easy to inadvertently click it while scrolling through the page. Unless it's multiple disagrees, I assume it's accidental.

    I think this is likely the answer, or perhaps rheddmobile has picked up a couple of "fans." The only thing I can think of as a "reason" to disagree is a deeply held belief that nobody over 75 should be driving? I've been hoping for driverless cars before I get to the point I can't drive safely anymore, but I don't think some arbitrary age should be the cut-off. Plenty of bad drivers of all ages.

    I've been looking on my state's website and can't find any info on where to get a vaccine. (I did this as an intellectual exercise - we're in Phase one of the rollout and no one I know can get one til Phase 2.)

    As of this writing, vaccinefinder.org does not have the COVID vaccine as a category.

    https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-vaccine-frequently-asked-questions#once-the-vaccine-is-available,-where-can-i-go-to-get-a-covid-19-vaccine?

    Public vaccine clinics including COVID-19 vaccine when available can be found at CDC’s interactive website: vaccinefinder.org. Once vaccine is widely available you can also check with your primary care provider, local pharmacy or local health department. Information will also be available on the DPH website.

    Ah, the federal response.

    We're starting phase 1B here locally (my county), which for us (Michigan) includes members of the general public of older ages, or some comorbid conditions. I know of some who've gotten appointments, and gotten the first shot, but it's not at all widespread, rather just barey getting started. Clearly, that availability information is not yet on the federal CDC site, despite what they claim. (It is on the State of Michigan's site, which I believe I posed up-thread.)

    Heh.

    All kind of information out making it seem as if AZ is the worst place on the planet, and it might be. I dunno know. I'm just glad I'm a semi hermit. We are going to San Diego next week to see my son (and celebrate our 30th Anniversary). That's the son that already had Covid, so at least I believe we're good seeing him. We are renting an AirBnB and pretty much going to behave just like we do here -- eat at home, buy groceries and order take out and that's about it. The only difference being that we'll be two blocks from Seal Beach in La Jolla while doing it. I'm thinking for extra good measure, I'll take a can or two of Lysol just to spray in the place when we get there and then open up the windows and let it air out. Oh, and we'll drive. It's only around 6 hours from here to there. I actually quite enjoy the drive through the sand dunes to the mountains and then down to the ocean.

    California is likely safer than AZ right now with most everything being shut down.

    Mike do you know that the governor asks people from other states or countries NOT to come to California?
    I don't know how things are in Arizona, but California is not safe right now, unlesds not COVID safe. Our hospitals and ICUs capacity are maxed out.

    Coronavirus: Due to the coronavirus pandemic, California has imposed a regional stay-at-home order and banned non-essential travel throughout the state except in a region north of Sonoma County. Governor Gavin Newsom said he was “pulling the emergency brake” with this announcement, which restricts hotel stays for leisure travel and other business activity in affected areas. You can find more details here.

    "California public health officials have recommended that visitors from out of state, including California residents, quarantine for 14 days after entering or returning to California."

    I'd love not to go but I'm not losing 2K either. AirBNB isn't forcing home owners to refund money.

    Agree. that's why when we rented a cabin for a few days over Christmas we rented one with the latest cancellation date in the area.
