@fiesty76- Good morning, it's nice to hear from you. I hope that you have been well. It sounds as if your daughter really had a miserable time and in her 30's too! The more I think about it the more that I am inclined to get the vaccine for COVID. Rhode Island has been chosen to participate with 3 other states for the first roll-out. Hopefully, it will be smooth. The people making the decisions for the vaccine have it pretty tough. Imagine how it would feel to make life and death decisions as to who gets protected first and how will that person react? What will the long term benefits be, if any?

Saw this online yesterday. Just want to share...I had a discussion with my children about the vaccine, they both thought that if it's available to me, I should be brave and take it, the virus is not going to go away and the alternative is unthinkable.

Thank you, @merpreb. I hadn't known that 4 states had been slated for the first vaccine roll out but like you, I am so hoping that what sounds like a very complex cold storage and distribution effort will not only go smoothly but will also bring down the number of active covid cases.
I agree that those having to make these very difficult decisions as well as those, especially in all medical treatment facilities who are the "last line" of help and care for those so sick with the virus, deserve and desperately need our very best wishes and efforts by doing what we can individually to stay safe and well. I cannot imagine the level of stress hospital staff are undergoing.
