I've had a complete course of astrazeneca vaccine, the one people are worried about dying from.

And, like a typical bada$$, you're fine

 :lol: so far so good!  :thumb-up:

Ok, Ok it did worry me when that news came out but I know the numbers a very low.  1 in 17million I was told the other day because I asked this time.  The first jab I had was before any negative cases had appeared on the scene!  This time my 2nd jab comes 4 days after they announce in the UK they aint giving it to anyone else under the age of 40!!!  So I had to ask since I'm 38.  The nurse told me they aint mixing vaccines yet so because I started the course I needed to complete it using the same vaccine so here I am double jabbed with AZ.  I will be still following the guidelines as recommended even if I have jabs.

Also it didn't worry me that much or else I would not have got the 2nd one, I know people not taking the 2nd jab.  A friend of mine said he thinks it has given him tinnitus.  Did he never stop to think it might be listening to music too loud?  Anyways he can think that if he likes.  90% protection is better than none right?

Where do you live man?

The recently just started relaxing shit where I am, typically I will have no part in it simply because all these idiots go ape shit as the flood gates open and it makes more sense to wait for the rush to end.  I've no intention of going out to bar anytime soon to be honest.  I get my second jab next week as well so that will give me a confidence boost as well.  Still working at home too!

I live in Alberta Canada. Its a joke here. Lots of small business can't afford to stay open.

Here in Europe they kicked astrazeneca out because they didn't keep up with the delivery's they promised. Over here it's mostly pfizer now. My wife got astra about 6 weeks ago, she got vaccinated early because because she works in healthcare. I still have to wait at least 3 to 4 weeks. It's painfully slow over here. Only 32% of the Belgian population has gotten 1 shot, 10% is fully vaccinated.

Yeah there was a lot of politically motivated shit in mainland Europe over astrazeneca.  I think it'd dumb they kicked them out, more the better right?  and better late than never.  At least your wife got jabs, so that's something.  Yeah even the non-at-risks are getting their first jabs at least over here.  My fiancé got hers last week as the age 30-35 group is eligible now.  I hope they speed things up fr you in Belgium man I really do.

Yes it's the same here regarding that.  Lots of people have no jobs anymore.  Thankfully moving a mouse around and typing on a keyboard saved my ass from that!

Well I wait, I'm used to it by now. The good thing is that my dad how is 82 now has got both his shots in january so he's safe. I don't worry about myself.

Just made me feel terrible there.

Hey MJMP, we worry about you though 

[Chamai]

a little off topic here, but did any of you guys bought way more shit than pre covid since there is really nothing better to do?

I'm not sure if you mean things we didn't need to buy or things we did need, but have been putting off.

     I have bought a lot of things I needed to get in order to restore various items to good working order, like my car for example, which I do all the work myself, except for anything that requires the car to be on a lift. I don't own one of those.

     I have bought various NUX and Fender pedals for pedal boards I had already committed to building before covid hit. And I did buy a new desktop PC to use for my DAW, to get my studio working a bit better since Microshaft stopped supporting Windows 7 at the beginning of last year. Plus my recent purchase of a bass guitar.

     As for things I didn't need to buy, well I bought another ADA S-1000 and a 256i because they were offered at a very good price, and I am presently looking at a TFX-4 that is going for a decent price as well. None of these things I need, because I already own a lot of gear that does the same thing these units do, but I am a devotee of ADA and have been for decades.

      That pretty much covers what I bought throughout the pandemic.

Yes. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Each 'stimulus check' bought something for guitar playing.

[Zilthy]

I bought some stuff, but also sold some stuff.  I should really get to selling the rest while selling is still decent.

Fully vaccinated now, and have a few dates lined up over the summer.  Not positive I actually want to play out anymore, fairly positive I don't want to haul my 1/2 stack, but going to give it a try anyway.   They are one off dates so if I don't want to do it, nothing making me continue.   :D
