Looks like you would prioritize. In the U.S., forty percent of people in nursing homes (which is less than 1% of the population) died of Covid.
The 'pressure' to be at the front of the queue, is coming from all quarters. At the same time, supply is limited. Those that can afford to have it, will have it. The rest of us mortals, will have to wait in line. Until the supply is up to the job.Looks like you would prioritize.

Yes. I hear, that they also, get free condoms, to reduce the HIV thing.No joke. Canaduh eh.
Or, between: Those that live in fear. & Those that live in envy.Isn't it odd how the world seems to be split into 2 camps.
People who refuse to take the Vaccine
People who refuse to wait for the Vaccine.
That last part is party due to the rampant mismanagement of the virus leading to mass infection/deaths (and to awesome new variants!), and now people are panicking about getting any sort of solution, not just for the virus but also their personal economics.Isn't it odd how the world seems to be split into 2 camps.

The sad fact is that prisoners generate the government money by simply continuing to exist. Where as retired people do not.

Surely you have a good few months of immunity now, so you should think of the good of the nation and graciously go to the back of the queueI'm in a separate category all on my own, I really want the vaccine and I'm due it now because of what I do but I can't have it because I just had covid so there's a waiting period before I can have it.
The gods are toying with me.

I understand; that some people have caught it more than once. Maybe Robin, can or has enlightened us on that?Four to six months immunity, from what I've been told by the people who said there was no scientific basis for saying mask were effective until they started fining people for not wearing masks because the science says they are effective.
So on the whole I'd rather just have the jab.

Yes already that prisons are a nest of snakes, useless in addition to having Covid-positive snakes.Prisoners should rationally be some of the first groups vaccinated because prisons are a dangerous reservoir and major exposure risk for the communities they are part of.
Your parents, statistically speaking, are probably able to isolate better, and thus less of a risk, to themselves and others. The epidemiology favors vaccinating prisons early.
I wonder if the vaccination is compulsory in prison.The sad fact is that prisoners generate the government money by simply continuing to exist. Where as retired people do not.
there must be some viable thought?
What is it that drives all these people?
They believe what they hear or read. It is like a 'first impressions' thing; once that 'first concept' is embedded. It is hard to change that mind-set. So if someone like that old feller called Fred down the pub, says something is true; then it must be, because he always knows about these things. Everything else is just noise, unless it re-enforces or backs up, what Fred said.I haven't been following this thread, sorry if this is OT (didn't want to open a new one for it).
I just lost an old friend to covid-19. He was someone my age (64) and got it from his son who has since recovered from it. Most likely during the Christmas holidays.
I'm not asking for sympathy (which wouldn't be necessary, we haven't been in contact for a while). I just want to know one thing: What is going on with all these corona or pandemic deniers? We even have the case of a politician from an ultra-right party who was hit by the virus himself and barely survived. And yet he denies that it is a pandemic - even though he now recognises the danger of the virus.
I just want to understand. After all, these people are quite numerous and I don't want to make it too easy for myself and label them all as idiots and cranks straight away. But what is the content of their conspiracy ideas, there must be some viable thought?
To be quite honest, all these people scare me more than the virus itself. It feels to me like a never-ending stream of 'zombies in mind', just scary. That's why I simply have to understand in order to sleep better again.
If anyone knows such people and has been able to talk to them, or maybe is even one of them: What is it that drives all these people?
Things use to get a little insane , when the subject was allowed. Posters become more entrenched and sometimes extreme; so it really had to be stopped.It's certainly difficult to talk about these things without going into politics. This forum is too restrictive in this regard (not that I can't understand this limitation).
