We hope 2021 will be better, some have said it can't be worse, jury is still out on that!

Have not decided about the vaccine yet.  My immune system seams to do a good job of keeping stuff away or at least killing it.  Worked in a germ factory for ten years (children's hands on science center) and never got sick, not even a cold.  No word about us youngsters ( those of us under 75) here in AL yet.  My doc hits me about the flue shot every year, give her the same "no" every time.

I was there with you until I lost a friend to pneumonia a couple of years ago. I got the vaccination for that and a flu shot for the first time. Here they are starting covid vaccinations for us people over seventy on Monday. I will definitely get it. I figure it can't hurt.

Got the flu shot this year, most years I don't. Got the pneumonia one this year too. I'm not sure about the covid19, I'll wait and see how things go for a few months. I don't have 100% confidence in drug companies they are in it for the $$$. Every week you see a new miracle drug and a year later the law suites start.

I have been in the house sick with Covid for the last 10 days, but am doing better now.  Just a caution regarding the vacine, my oldest son had Covid about three weeks ago and just got his vaccination since he is a first responder and had some rough side effects.  He was told afterwards that can happen if you get the vaccine soon after an active case.  So if you have had an active case, I would wait a couple months before getting the vaccine since you would have immunity for a while anyway.

I was actually wondering about getting the vaccine if you had Covid at some stage. My ex wife has it and I was probably exposed indirectly through my son. He tested negative yesterday but....

From what I understand you should get the shot even if you have had covid in the past. They don't know how long the antibodies built from covid last and there have been cases of people being infected a second time.

I had forgotten about the cruise-in, fortunately my wife asked about it after I got back from taking the dog for a ride in the '57. There were about 50 cars there, including a handful I hadn't seen before. Made my day!

The doctor told me that some people have immunity longer, but that the current consensus is that it typically lasts about 90 days.

Good to see you back James. I don't think I ever asked you where in Oklahoma you were.
Glad you're recouping from the covid, and thanks for the input.

Rich, The closest actual town is Elmore City and it's pretty small.  About 70 miles south of OKC.

I'll let y'all know about the vaccine, I get the first shot this afternoon.

[RICH MUISE]

James..........we'll hook up some day when this covid thing is over. You live in one of my cruising areas. I only did 2 events last year, and one of them was with the Crossmembers out of OKC. It was a 124 mile cruise starting and ending in the Guthrie area. 220 cars!

Rich, there is a post about Hugh but says Huge, maybe you can correct it for the poster so people will see it
