Cross your fingers for me

From Cuomo’s daily email update.

On Sunday, we expanded eligibility to include New Yorkers with qualifying comorbidities and underlying conditions. And on Sunday we saw the largest single-day registration total since vaccinations began: 250,924 New Yorkers made appointments at a rate of nearly 10,000 per hour.

Wow, Jon, looks like you have a huge cohort this round. Glad you got through the system for an appointment.

[Klaus]

So, @jon-nyc , how will your life change after the vaccination? Can you relax a few cautionary measures?

[jon-nyc]

Yes absolutely. I will start acting like most of the people around here. Send my kid to school, masked outdoor play dates, send him to camp this summer.

I will go to stores masked without hesitation.

I’ll wait until Rachel is vaccinated before I rejoin a gym. And probably won’t fly until then either.

My 2nd quarter checkup at Duke (North Carolina, maybe 1000km away) I’ll do in person.

Same here. I get the second shot 3/5 (for which I am sacrificing 3 days in the Florida Keys, after sacrificing two weeks in Orange Beach on the other end), but who knows when MFR will get hers?

[jon-nyc]

@mik Is she 65 yet?

[Mik]

No, 63.

[jon-nyc]

That’ll put her back a notch in the schedule I presume.

Rachel is healthy and under 55, I’m not sure if she’ll be prioritized at all or just be in the ‘everybody else’ category at the end.

[jon-nyc]

Mik did you get there by age alone or age and health condition? (If you don’t mind me asking)

[Mik]

Age only. The health system sent out on MyChart to all eligible and it was first come first served. I was diligent.
