Stumblefoot Posted January 6, 2021 #8228 Share Posted January 6, 2021 You know, if the U.S. government really wanted to vaccinate Americans as fast as possible, all they’d have to do is train FedEx and UPS drivers how to administer injections. The entire country would be vaccinated by Monday. Or, by Friday for those that have Amazon Prime. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an advanced practice nurse and need no training to give injections. But no one has called me. What I have learned is that there is no infrastructure in place to carry out the plan in my state. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tothesunset Posted January 6, 2021 #8230 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I have volunteered to come out of retirement as a volunteer to administer the vaccine. However, the bureaucracy are not interested in my degree, post-graduate degrees or 30 years in practice. Oh no. I have to go through the same 'training' as any non-medical applicant. That involves completing certified courses on topics as relevant as Fire Awareness, Manual Handling, Preventing Radicalisation etc. What a farce. I did it because I really want to help. Others have looked at the requirements and thought "Sod that for a game of soldiers" and given up on their application. And guess what the pay will be? £10 an hour. It's not as if they will be trampled under the rush of those seeking to get rich quick! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't hit the "like" to your post spins. I understand the frustration though! Infrastructure is lacking here as well. Lots of lovely talk about how this will roll out and, at the moment, it is just talk. Priority was to vaccinate front line workers and long term care residents first. Well, they started with the front line care folks and not the long term care folks. Outbreaks in the long term care are resulting in deaths. Bass-ackward to my mind! Myster and I will probably not get our turn until September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would volunteer also, but I agree, FL is a mess. We are on a wait list now for the vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted January 7, 2021 #8244 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Our thoughts are with our neighbours to the south. I penned these words with you in mind....... Arms of Comfort Take a step out of the darkness Into strong arms that await Take a step toward the light And away for all that hate. It may seem that dark despair Haunts your every hour But life is full of changes It swings from sweet to sour. The universe works in contrasts And in fact so do our lives To balance walking on cloud nine We must walk on blades of knives. Without hate there is no love Without hot, no cold Without rich there is no poor Without shy, no bold. Without despair there is no joy Without pain, no bliss Without birth there is no death Without lows, the highs we’d miss. What you feel now will soon change Just as tides do cycle through Know that you are not alone Step into arms of comfort true. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
