In order to get free flu shots, I have to go to the doctors office. If we go to Target, CVS, etc - insurance doesn’t pay for it.
Doctors office told me the antibody test was $80 but my insurance would pay for it so my cost would be zero. That’s good news.
As of last Friday, the quickest appt was Thursday. 6 days. Geez.
Washington state stockpiled millions of N95 masks, but distributing them has been complicated — The Seattle Times
“Sitting in a Washington state government warehouse are more than 30 million N95 masks -- enough to provide every one of the state’s health care workers nearly 100 masks each.
They’re sitting there even though nearly all of the state's hospitals are reusing their N95s or otherwise conserving supply, as the nation faces a looming shortage and Washington’s COVID-19 cases spike to the highest levels in the pandemic.
Does the stockpile represent careful planning by state officials for this surge, or a missed opportunity to provide about $90 million of needed masks?”
They are free at the Health Dept, but it’s a long drive on the other side of town and long lines. I saw a sign at one of the grocery stores advertising free flu shots but that was two weeks after I got mine.flu shots are free here in Canada - whether we go to the doctor's office or the drugstore
but many of them ran out of stock when they first started - I haven't checked since then
This is an essential service that we provide.
"It's about loving our neighbour, and you can talk with a number of people here who are extremely vulnerable, homeless or on the verge of being very isolated."
Dr. John Campbell in the UK is another great Youtube podcaster . He indicates the actual cost of the vaccine to be $19 each. The US government has contracted with Pfizer for the vaccine to be free. But where the actual vaccines will be administered could still charge. He is concerned about profiteering that may play out.
The cognitive dissonance (or is it irony?) is mind numbing, imo.
ETA: the above quote is from the pastor, who is presenting his motivation for flouting rules designed to protect vulnerable populations.
Boris Johnson must self-isolate — Daily Mail
“Prime Minister Boris Johnson must self isolate after being in touch with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19.”

Only got to one of these so far..... Meet the Press.
We can't wait until Jan to have federal actions.
Dr. Osterholm is making it so clear that we must have federal help NOW. Mayors and Governors are in straight jackets. It is so critical.....
How in heavens name are we going to get that to happen.
Just makes me sick.
