Have at it......

**********************************

Why not?  My wife and I are among those who are in the high risk group, so I'm very glad we'll be given preference.  And it's been proven that people under 55 are better able to battle this virus.

We need our old (wisened?) folks. Like you. ;-)

Seriously, we should have compassion for our sick and elderly (unlike a ranting person in the WH). No matter how old or sick a person is, we all can learn a thing or 2 from them.

Myself, I fall under 2 categories:

Essential Worker (IT) and High Risk Medical (Heart Condition)

My wife and I are included in Phase 1 of the proposed vaccination group (according to the link provided by James).  We're both diabetic, both over 55 (I'm turning 58 in a week and my wife is 73), and I'm definitely obese.

And while Covid incidence is higher among younger people (35 and younger), the mortality rate is much higher among older people (55 and older).  Vaccinating those at most risk of dying first makes the most sense.

I wholeheartedly agree.

While on the subject, I have to share something that had me shaking my head in disbelief. My stepsister lives next door to a family with three kids. Since the first lockdown, they have had at least three gatherings with other relatives, showing no social distancing whatsoever. My stepsis confronted them the first time and then (after they continued to act irresponsibly) reported them on the third occasion. I understand that the authorities finally acted and gave the family a final warning with the threat of a fine.

No one wants to have to resort to the act of 'dobbing someone in', but this incident has a very disturbing punchline.

Both parents are doctors.

The problem is, they are more likely to increase infection rates and therefore put others at risk. They are the ones speeding down the wrong lane of the motorway with their headlights off.
