... Lady O's ability to spin a good tale ...
Are you saying that she lied so that you two could jump the line or is that just clumsy wording?
Na, nothing nefarious. She gets a Prolia shot twice a year that for some reason needs to be done in an endocrinologists office. She was talking about wanting to get a shot, but that the lineup waiting posed certain problems for her due to some medical conditions. Her story was sufficient that they apparently felt sorry for her and - since medical providers had just been cleared to give the vaccine to 65 or over if they had enough supply - and the medical group still had a supply due in part to some vaccine refusals by staff, they offered a shot to her (and she asked about a "plus 1') So they told us to come back Thursday (yesterday).
The vaccination process here does involve a bit of waiting. Outside of hospitals, nursing homes, etc. there are 11 vaccination centers in the county (for 3.5 million people), with 2-3 more opening next week. One of those is a drive-through at the baseball arena, theoretically doing 5K shots a day. Another largish one in an old Sears store is a walk-through, with about 2K a day capacity. The others are smaller. All require appointments but they apparently aren't able to maintain a schedule and so you show up, get into the lineup and get served when you get to the head of the line no matter when your original appointment was. So depending on when you get there, you might be on line for 20 minutes or 2 hours.
So getting to go to the doc's office was a big help, which we appreciate. We may or may not be able to do that for the second, but whatever it takes we'll do it. Maybe in three weeks they'll have more centers or more organization.
Mr.B stalks and threatens people for posts like that.
