I have a light beard and it mostly grows in white these days so I don’t worry about it.

Same.

Pfft, I thought y'all were referring to the nether regions

Lol, I know that's popular these days, but the only time I ever did that was when I got fixed. I didn't care for it at all. To each his own tho.

I shave that much more frequently.

Well that's good to know.

I find myself quoting Deadpool.

At least we aren’t talking about crocs and unicorns

Got the JJ around 5... went bowling at 7. Still feel OK. Arm is noticeably sore.

Am 35 and technically obese, but overall healthy.

I can grow a beard that would allow me to join ZZ Top. The problem is it doesn't grow on the top of my head. If you know anyone hiring a bald Santa for Christmas give them my number

Wait, we're supposed to be talking about shaving now .... apparently.

I'll be sure to shave before I go get my shot. I'm nice like that.

When I worked in the office, I shaved daily. Now, probably once every 7-10 days. My beard is fugly so I can't grow a proper one. Once I get to 10 days, it just bugs me too much and I go ahead and get it done.

Beard + cats = constant feeling of spiderwebs on your face.

Well, today was rougher for me than last night, some generalized malaise, body aches/chills, nausea, etc. Still 100% worth it knowing that I've been able to get both doses. And I will keep wearing masks in public.

It'll probably be another month or so before I get an opportunity to be vaccinated in the UK, but I will be wearing masks in public afterwards as long as there are significant numbers of cases; not deaths, not hospitalisations, just cases.

I think the only concern is the mutations and how well the current vaccines work on the new strains. But, I'm hopeful that they work decently well since they all target the spike protein and all the variants have that.

This being the main reason why. It's not just the existing new strains. It's other potential new strains. As we acquire mass immunity, if a new strain develops, or has already developed, that evades that immunity, it will naturally have an advantage over existing strains and, given a chance to get a foothold and spread, could easily become dominant.

The more widespread the virus in the population, the greater the number of opportunities we're creating for mutations to develop. In an ideal world we'd be rolling out the vaccine in a situation where the virus was already largely suppressed globally, but we're not.

So unless we get to the point where we know that this virus isn't able to mutate in a way that escapes vaccine or naturally acquired immunity, we need to keep bringing cases down to the point where the risk of a mutation developing that evades immunity is negligible. Hopefully the vaccines will prove sufficiently effective in reducing transmission of all current strains to help bring the numbers right down to that point, but until that's actually happened, we should absolutely keep wearing masks as long as they're helping to bring cases numbers down.

And the other reason why is not everyone can be vaccinated.

When we’ll know if Covid-19 vaccines stop transmission, once and for all

Scientists are still learning about Covid-19 vaccines' full potential in stopping the pandemic.

Scheduled my first shot for the 25th today. Since I've had covid I'm wondering if I'll see symptoms with the first shot. My wife got it between shots and had 24 hours of symptoms after she got her 2nd shot. I expect I'll have some with my first.

I had covid around 3 months ago, and got my first shot yesterday morning. Felt nothing yesterday except some slight soreness. This morning I felt like i had a minor hangover(didn’t drink yesterday) but took some ibuprofen and was at work at 7AM. Just a little sluggish now, but it’s FRIIIIIIDAY!

Yeah.....there's been a study done that shows miller lite will alleviate most symptoms. The study originally showed that miller lite made you immune altogether but that was debunked.
