WHERE WERE THEY WHEN WE NEEDED THEM?

Actually, the caption is totally unfair. I wrote it just to get your attention. There's no blame on the city health department. It's on our incompetent state administration and governor and all of those fine "it's my free choice whether to wear a mask" folks. 

The state's vaccine distribution system is a disaster. I was lucky to get my first shot through the big doctor-hospital network I use. However, we read in the news about vaccine sent to rural areas going to waste and St. Louisans in the currently eligible group driving long distances to get a shot. I got an email yesterday from the state registry offering vaccination appointments in Kansas City, four hours drive away. Remember, this is the state that gave us Josh Hawley.

Immensely frustrating.

I'm so sorry that the supposed people who represent the voters there have not been interested in helping you all. It may help open the eyes of many of the voters for future representation in government which actually serves the people.

Yep sorry about Josh, but happy to hear you got your first vaccine, I have too, and the second will be on the 27th. I do trust that the way things are being handled now it will all come together, but we all have to remain cautious. I'll continue to wear my mask when out and it's mandatory at my work of course. Like they say we're in this together and together we'll get through it!
