Hello. First time poster and only found this site a few months ago. So much information from TG and commenters. Thank you!

Second, my condolences to all of those losing people they care about. I agree we are in for a bad next one to three years. I expect to lose a lot of family but so far, husband and adult children have not taken the clot shot and neither have I. Half of extended family has.

Anecdotal observation. I work out of my home and live on a busy 4 lane highway in a rural county 15 miles outside of a medium sized metro area. My office looks directly out the front window. Ambulances with sirens blaring have been RARE for the just over two years we've lived here. Maybe 5 the entire time! They are now a daily occurrence going from regional more rural hospital/area to the larger metro one. I started noticing this about a week or so ago.
