Next week I'm getting the second dose of the Moderna vaccine.
I had mild side-effects with the first shot, which I got on January 20, also Inauguration Day. I expect it to be worse this time, but I'm excited and a little disoriented by the new reality.
A couple of weeks later, say by March 3, according to the science, I will be at 95% immunity. This means the probability of me getting infected, everything else constant, is only 5% of what it was before January 20.
A bit of info I don't have -- if I were to get infected would it be less likely to be severe or deadly?
Of course I'm going to continue to be masked. I ordered some new Docker brand masks for the event.
What should I risk after immunity? Go to the movies? Drive down to the city, just to get some bagels perhaps or ride a CitiBike in Central Park? These would seem very exotic now.
It's been 1.5 years since I've been to a city larger than Kingston, NY. I'm actually quite happy about that. I like life in the mountains.
And yes this is yet another boomer privilege. It's fair to hate me but only for this. :boom:
