Oh no! How disappointing to believe that you have an appointment and then to find out you actually don’t. That’s quite a big mistake on someone’s part

- I really could have screamed. That I have another day like this one to look forward to fills me with dread.

  - In the UK we don’t have to book through Eventbrite but we do have huge numbers to deal with
    I am in group 5 that’s for people over 65 so I reckon around May 2021 if I’m lucky

    - I guess I shouldn’t complain about the wait for dad (although he is 79).

How frustrating and annoying. I hope you get an appointment soon. We’ve got a couple of big vaccination centres in my town and people are grumbling now about the parking – and it is towards saving their lives.

- yeah, I was very frustrated with dad yesterday. He doesn’t want to “waste half a day” getting a vaccination, but if he’s at home he mostly watches tv anyway. And it’s free, although he could certainly afford to pay for it. (And they were trying to set up a situation where you wouldn’t wait in a long line, although it looks like they really messed that up.) His nose was so out of joint about it that I had contemplated doing a dry run of the trip so I would know where to park (parking is free for this event, too) and how to get into the building in order to avoid further tsuris.

  - A dry run sounds like a good plan, particularly if it means you can have a bit of time to yourself.

    - Yeah, I think I’m going to do that once we get another appointment, if that ever happens. I’m feeling very fragile at the moment and I need to protect myself.

Même refrain ici en France!
Qui pouvait croire qu’il y aurait assez de vaccins … nous tous les incrédules.
Les gestes de prévention resteront, encore pour bien longtemps, nos meilleures alliées contre ce virus.

- They’re saying here that you need to mask even if you’ve completed the vaccinations, so I imagine it may be a semi-permanent feature of life for a while.

  - Même vacciné on pourra attraper le virus (même figure qu’avec la grippe) , l’espoir est que l’immunité acquise permettra de mieux y résister et être moins contaminants.
