The good news is more folks are getting vaccinated every day. Today the Publix appointments in Sumter co lasted an hour. If demand for the shots starts waning among the Seniors I’m hoping they open it up for those 55 and older.

When I get my two shots I too will be dancing in the squares and dining at the restaurants again. Until then, I’m double masking and limiting my shopping to necessary outings.
There will be a 4-8 week lag time before the effect of vaccination can be seen in the daily stats. Vaccinations started in earnest what, about 3 weeks ago? So stayed tuned and we'll see.
