Gary, I wish you a complete recovery with no significant long lasting issues. Ride soon.
We have only two neighbors near us. One is a young couple with two toddlers. They are about 100 yards from us and are pretty much self-contained. Our other neighbor, a good friend for decades, is 74, diabetic, and undergoing chemo. He lives about a quarter mile from us at the other end of our long gravel driveway. With chemo, his immune system is compromised to the point where even the common cold could be devastating, so we help minimize his exposure by doing his shopping, refilling his pass-through with firewood from his outside racks buried in snow, retrieving his mail and UPS deliveries, and on days he is too weak to lift firewood we stoke his stove and maintain a stack of smaller pieces near the woodstove so he can stay warm.
The thought of losing him to someone's carelessness or self-centeredness has really brought the Covid threat close to home. Knowing that there are others like him out there makes it easier for us to stay home until we have a handle on this pandemic.

It's been interesting to see the disparity between states in their vaccine roll out strategy. I have "over 65" friends in CA and PA who have either received their shot or are scheduled to receive it soon. This lead me to review which states have opened the vaccines to the "over 65" demographic and a rough count suggests there are about 8-10 of those. All the rest (including my home state of OR) are phasing the vaccine roll-out and are currently in the phase for "teachers, child care workers, etc". As it currently stands, "over 65" is not scheduled until the week of March 7.
This could also impact the possibility of the MOA rally in June.
Same for Iowa.
I'm 65 but Debbie does not turn 65 until July.
Iowa is 46th in the nation for vaccine allotment.
I'll wait awhile to see about getting a shot so others that really need it can get it.

Yes I have the letter that I am eligible to have the shot, then when trying to make an appointment you are told all full or all out of vaccine.
It is a run around! Why??? I'am in the second group. They are still not done with the first group yet.
None of the states are getting enough vaccine. Idaho only gets about 12k does per week.
