I would think if you were going to feel any symptoms, you would have by now. Hopefully you'll get off easy with the second dose too! ;)

I would be nice if that is it, and the next injection i am getting next month would be the same :)

I was out golfing yesterday and it appears the club made a decision to take out the false bottom "saucer-like" cups placed just below ground level in the green holes, so your ball was still visible, and easy to pick up out of the hole.

This has been in use since the club opened this past spring. Now that they've taken these things out, it seems to be Ok to reach into the bottom of the hole to get the ball out. They're removal has also facilitated the option to pull the flag out of the hole while on the green putting. We're getting a bit "handsy" now - something I'm not used to.

It seems we are beginning to get back to some sort of "normal".

And the countries are opening the right way, they are not just opening up, to open up, they are doing it because they have started to have some better control with COVID-19(it seems to me anyway).

Some countries/states may see rising numbers, but that give them a chance to do something about it. Of course, these days we probably only have the options of closing down part of the country/state or vaccinate people. So maybe Florida should try to get more people vaccinated? Well, i hope the best for them in any case.

Ya, I don't know what they're doing down there. Case numbers are up. ICU's are filling up again. Yet, those in power seem to be blind to the facts, and yet 99%+ of cases are unvaccinated people. I just don't get the logic. :?

Looks like Miami-Dade County is the primary culprit: https://usafacts.org/visualizations/cor ... te/florida

Miami-Dade County does seem to offer the vaccine on there homepage: https://www.miamidade.gov/global/home.page

Maybe the people of Miami-Dade County should consider making use of that offer :)

Thought this article may be relevant for the Florida issue: https://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-tops ... 09966.html

Hope they will take the issue serious and get vaccinated :)

Let's see... the new variant is more transmissible. It's more severe in terms of symptoms than the original strain (and the UK variant too). And, it's affecting a much younger demographic than before. Seems like a simple choice to me.
