5. Publix never has vaccines in my area of NE FL, and we have no "bad weather" going on here.

Yet you can't get in for a vaccine. I've waited hours and never gotten through and now they are putting up messages no appts. available until Friday. I registered with the state but no calls yet. So, after checking the state, CVS, Publix, & Walgreens and no appts. available near my area, I finally broke down and went to Walmart where I got an appt. for this Friday. Sure hope it goes OK and I don't have to stand in a long line because I can't stand long.

6. The bad weather is not here, it's interfering with shipments, according to Publix.

Don't trust that those reich wing supporting drumpers are distributing it appropriately.

The distribution problem in the face of the weather appears to be spread over many states. Publix no longer says how many appointments they are offering, just what percentage are yet to be filled.

Once again did an excellent job on her investigative reporting for WFLA. She made de Satan have that deer with headlights in the eyes look today. He stuttered around about how other people can get one at Publix if they want one oh, but she didn't let up on him. There even up here to be a few Republicans who are office holders aren't too happy with him for doing this type of stuff.

9. Not sure why this even surprises me.

My county has basically been doing the same thing, but it hasn't been in Ultra Elite areas. But what happens to the rest of us who are already on the list when they use half the vaccinations for just one large group? We get pushed further down the line.

Lark, I'm glad you have an appointment and let us know how your shot turns out.
