    Our reward is that we aren't in a hospital bed dying because we refused the vaccine when available. It's a pretty good trade off.

    I get where you are coming from by the way, but couldn't help myself :D.

    What? Are you that poor where $100.00 is more important than your health?

    There were many people who were willing to shell out thousands to get the vaccine very early on.

    Wouldn't mind giving her a few dance lessons. In the biblical sense.

    Apparently, the FDA is about to approve booster shot for everyone. You can always get your booster shot early ;)

    Harris County offering $100 gift cards through 8/31 if you go get a shot at one of their locations. There is a long long line near NRG…..

    The money is coming from $23 million dollars of federal funds the county has to fight Covid-19. Money well spent!

    I have faith that anyone who needed $100 to convince them to get the vaccine…. Will quickly pump that money back into the economy.

    What is the soonest someone has gotten re-infected with Covid that you guys have heard of?

    I've tried looking it up and can't find any stats on it

    Looking at the Covid19 hospital census in the southeast Texas region, it looks like general bed cases has peaked/beginning to peak. If this wave follows the previous two waves, ICU census should peak about a week later.

    SETRAC data

    However, what could throw a wrench into that is students getting back to school this week and next week. Kids could spread it to people in their household.

    What's also somewhat perplexing is the plateau UK is seeing right now. Rather than a sharp peak and drop off like the previous two waves, UK is seeing a pretty flat plateau for both cases and hospitalization.

    I know a couple who were vaccinated in February, sometime early in the month, I think. They are in their '60's, he's diabetic and she had heart surgery about a year ago, which very likely explains why they got the vaccine back then. They both had "breakthrough" Covid-19 infections, presumably from the Delta variant, in early August. He went to an emergency room with breathing issues and they offered to take to a hospital, but he declined. They are both slowly getting better. It's very bad stuff.

    That's about 6 months after getting vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. He wasn't wearing a mask the last couple of times I saw him, and she was. He assumed that he was protected, she was being careful. He ended up giving it to her.
