After having to cancel two appointments 25 miles away because of Covid getting into the care home where she works (you have to wait 28 days to make sure you don't infect everyone at the vaccination site apparently) she has just had a call from her supervisor to say "They will be here tomorrow to jab everybody - do you want one?"
Oh yes. Hell yes!
It's the new Oxford / Astrazeneca vaccine rather than the Pfizer but it's still worth having - this is a very nasty disease. She doesn't want to risk having it again, not at all.
Needless to say, I probably won't get the offer until sometime in May ...

Congrats, the Astrazeneca vaccine now also seems to be approved in the Netherlands finally. The responsible minister is getting a lot of flak at the moment as our country seems to be very late to start the vaccination campaign.

Here we have around 1.5 million people got the first shot... Including my parents (a week ago) and wife (yesterday)...

I got a shot from the Putin vaccine ; I have been glowing in the dark since then.

Be glad it's not the Pfizer vaccine. There have been too many reports already of people who have never had any sort of allergic reaction having sever, ICU level allergic reactions to the Pfizer vaccine.

- Define "too many"
- Links to an appropriate report (NOT a newspaper article), or it didn't happen

You seem to know a lot about this! Would you be so kind as to provide me with links to published, peer-reviewed scientific articles to support that complete and utter bullshit?

A completely unrelated question...
How many conspiracy theories do you believe?
Could you list them in order of your belief level?
...just curious.

How do you get DO for party? 
|

It is a slang word in English for any sort of get together. "I'm going to a do", can just mean, "I am going out to enjoy myself". And is commonly used in crossword clues.

|
|
Okay. Is this CP specific crossword clue? I Googled a bit but couldn't find any such reference.

The English Wiktionary is an amazing resource. It's becoming much better than those other online dictionaries filled with advertisements.
do - Wiktionary[^]
CTRL-F and type 'party'

No, you can find it in Crosswords in any UK publication. Even The Times and The Spectator, both of which have quite fiendish crosswords.
See first hit at do - Google Search[^]

I'm getting my internet service through pcsforpeople.org, but the d@mn device fried, and the only way this firm allows for a purchase of a new device is to have it shipped "within 3 to 5 business days" 
So I am looking for some type of "emergency service" that I can have in my back pocket to use at any time. It must be through mobile service.

I don't know what's available in the swamp, but here I'd just go to the local supermarket and buy a throwaway SIM. "Includes 20GB Data for use within 30 days" sort of deal.
My A$50/mo phone has 40GB of data per month included, so it's not an issue to me if the landline goes down.
