The DrsC got their first Covid-19 shot today. I was scheduled for it and the other DrC was supposed to be too young, but when we got there they did her too. Their explanation, they’re starting the next younger cohort on Monday and since she was there anyway .... We were especially pleased that the other DrC could get hers without a return trip next week.
We got the Moderna shot, and are due for the second dose in 4 weeks around the end of February. The process was extremely well-organized, very friendly, waiting time a quite reasonable < 10 minutes. They were doing 50 every 15 minutes, and had multiple shot-givers. I was impressed.
When it’s over they give you a CDC card proving you’ve had it, and when you get the second shot that will be marked on the card as well. I’m guessing it won’t be long before one of those cards all filled out will be necessary to fly or cruise with most carriers. I know I’m going to favor carriers which require it.
Credit for the fastest-ever vaccine development has to go to President Trump, as well as the scientists who did the actual work. He made their work possible, cut red tape and promised they’d not lose money doing it. Nothing that has happened since detracts from that gigantic accomplishment.

The other milestone that happened today was we signed all the paperwork to sell our CA home, escrow closes in a week. For roughly the next six months we’ll be down from 2.5 to 1.5 houses. Our RV - basically a small one bedroom apartment on wheels - I count as half a house.
