Given the initial data on one of the new variants that is fast spreading around the planet, I'd strongly encourage anyone who hasn't been vaccinated yet to do so ASAP.
Lord knows I'm trying. I submitted a form for the at-home vaccine visit maybe two weeks ago. I've heard nothing. I've decided J&J is the way to go. Safeway says they have it on one site, but not the other. Called. They don't have it. It will have to be a walk-in, because my transportation is marginally reliable--Uber or the Community Transit "short bus," so an appointment would be iffy. And all because my wretched excuse for a car chose COVID time to throw a tantrum. In truth, I could go a couple of years, probably, without getting one--I'm at more risk leaving the house to get vaccinated than I currently am staying home. At this rate, I'll be so angry I'll have a stroke and make a vaccination moot.
Really? If there is no mask mandate I would go to Vermont for an eye exam, but it is my understanding the mandate is still in effect in "health care settings". I don't think a doctor's office for a routine screening should be lumped together with the covid ward at a hospital.
And those of us who do medical work are glad you are not in charge of such things.
I'm in fact going for an eye exam in just one hour, and there are a set of covid-related protocols I have to do for the visit. Quite sensible ones. Then again, my County has its policies set by people who actually have a clue. (Unless perhaps it is purely an accident that we also have had the nation's top-performing response to covid, even in the face of the million+ "visitors" we have here every year...)
I emailed a VT eye doctor since the state's website only references Federal transportation mask mandates. A few days ago I emailed an optometrist in NH but they never got back to me. This could be a new take on medical tourism.
hunh, you mean The Science is not uniformly known, understood and/or carried out in Science/health settings? By people actually in The Science? i am shocked. Not.
yet, we mere peons outside of The Science are constantly berated here and elsewhere for not knowing or understanding The
Science.
I don’t think there’s really any hope for us, and that probably can be interpreted in a variety of ways which is fine with me.
Maybe science can explain how a mask that fogs up my glasses - and presumably the glass device put over my eyes during the eye exam - can allow me to get an accurate eye exam.

It's pretty far into making assumptions territory to assume the mask would fog up the eye device they use for glasses. But if masks have become the focus of your life ... you look for things that might possible go wrong I guess.
