Friday afternoon I was in the middle of my yoga lesson when my instructor found out that she and her husband were eligible to schedule appointments for the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. They’re getting it today, yay!
Other people I know have received the
one-and-done J&J vaccine, which was only approved a week ago.
President Biden promises that every adult
American will be able to access the vaccine by May, and that by July—if we’ve
achieved herd immunity—we may be able to gather in small groups to celebrate
Independence Day. (Perhaps not surprisingly, Repugs have bitched about every
aspect of this 180-degree turnabout from the previous administration’s
approach(es) to the pandemic. They also voted every single one of them against the
COVID relief bill, but fortunately, they’re the minority party in Congress.)
That’s my gratitude for
today. That we at long last have a national policy and program for getting
shots in arms and providing relief for the millions who’ve suffered economic
catastrophe in the past 12 months. I’m also deeply thankful that Republicans
were out-voted in both houses (thanks, Stacey Abrams!). And I’m hoping that I
may be able to have an in-person yoga lesson some time next month.
