I can't even imagine being a flight attendant right now.
That's a worrying sign for health experts: Although millions of Americans have been vaccinated, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to recommend that people avoid travel. It has so far declined to issue new guidance on travel for vaccinated Americans out of concerns prompted by travel-related surges that the United States encountered during previous holiday periods.
This sums up my feelings exactly. This is how I’ve felt during the entire pandemic watching all those so arrogant regarding “their” rights and putting those of us taking this seriously and doing our best to protect not only ourselves but others around us, at risk.They have a sense of entitlement and apathy I don't understand."
The blame for the trashing of the outdoor seating areas in Miami Beach rests with the out-of-control people who participated.

Mmmmmmmmmm!! Free Doughnuts!
Krispy Kreme is offering a sweet incentive to get the COVID-19 vaccine — a free doughnut every day of 2021 to Americans who can prove they've gotten their shots.
The famed doughnut company announced Monday that any customer who shows a valid COVID-19 vaccination card at any of its more than 350 U.S. stores will get a free original glazed doughnut "anytime, any day, even every day — through the remainder of 2021."
“We all want to get COVID-19 behind us as fast as possible and we want to support everyone doing their part to make the country safe by getting vaccinated as soon as the vaccine is available to them,” Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme's chief marketing officer, said in a statement provided to ITK.
The doughnut destination also says it will also "support health care workers and volunteers who are helping administer vaccines" by delivering free goodies to vaccination sites across the country. In addition, the company said it's offering up to four hours of paid time off for its employees to get vaccinated.

is it too much to do these things little by little like by alphabetical or by birth month? So this doesn’t always happen. Geez. I just don’t understand what the problems are. They’ve had almost a flippin year to plan.
NH's New Vaccine Registration System Struggles With Demand From 50+ Group

New Hampshire’s new vaccine registration system struggled to meet demand in its first big test Monday.
The state last week replaced the federal Vaccine Administration Management System with its own Vaccine and Immunization Network Interface, VINI for short. Thousands of people experienced problems with the previous system, particularly in scheduling their second doses, and officials had expected the new system to avoid those woes. But it was beset with technical problems Monday morning, when registration opened to anyone age 50 and older.
“Registrations may still be processed, but at a slower pace. We are working diligently to address these issues and will provide updates as soon as they become available,” read a message on the the state’s vaccine website. “We sincerely apologize for any delays you may be experiencing.”
Gov. Chris Sununu last week said about 200,000 first-dose appointments would be loaded into the system.
“So folks shouldn’t worry about having to be just the first one in line. There’s going to be plenty of room for everyone,” he said. “Everyone doesn’t need to rush into the system at 8 a.m. on the 22nd.”
A friend of mine who is anti-vax (believes there are 'nanobots' in them that the government will use to control your brain with) said that she doesn't need to get a vaccination because everyone else is, so that should stop the virus. Anyone else hearing this? I think it's a dangerous idea that I hope does not become a trend...
