Vaccine Dilemma


 


We are certainly posed for quite the dilemma with the vaccines this year.  Seems everyone will do what they can to get an appointment which fills up in minutes at every location here in Collier County. People are getting upset and hopefully there's more we can do.  Well, one thing is for sure, they can't make this vaccine fast enough.

I posted this earlier on my community site on Facebook, but wanted to put it into a blog as well.  My page I on Facebook if you are interested in liking my page or follow.

What you think about doing mass distributions for the 100 days and 100 million rollout for vaccines under the new administration?  I understand our Florida Governor Desantis wants to keep a tight grip on how we are handling, but I feel more needs to be done. Especially now that it's open to everyone and you have to be a Florida resident. Which is great!
 
I have offered myself to learn to administer shots, and to start helping those in need. Hoping the Department of Health would consider reaching out to the many people that could help. 
 
This article below includes the mass vaccinations sites opening up mega sites in US.  I wonder how they are handling it?

 
So as more vaccinations are distributed, hopefully more quickly, why not make it happen in Collier/Lee Counties? Starting with using the new Sports Complex, Fairgrounds, Hertz Arena, Jetblue Stadium, up the coast and more. Adding to that, mobile units to areas similar to ours. That's where Amazon can come into play, and actually myself. I picture myself getting trained and authorized by the Health Department to be able to hit those deep rural areas in need, using my own vehicle. I am a Independent Contractor and why not think outside the box here. We need to.
 
I also want to throw out some numbers for you to get an understanding what we are up against. 
 
There are approximately 22 million that live here in Florida. Take that number and cut it down to 15 million who want to take the shot. That's about 70%. Which may be high. We have given a little over 1 million thus far. So that gives us 14 million more to go. At this pace of 25-30,000 daily over the last 40 days, is not good enough. Yes, I understand if we could get more, it will go much faster. So what's on the table, take the 14 million residents and divide into the 100 days, which gives you the need of 140,000 a day or 4.2 million monthly vaccines given to reach this goal. 
 
I understand my numbers are just hypothetical, but in a way, it's real if we want to get this executed in that amount of time. Again, I know we need to have more vaccines and they plan to release the reserves to get this off the ground.
 
We shall see!

Fire and Fury-AI to AI

Image
    I recently have been shown a book that has been published and already on the market for sale. This book is called Fire and Fury; The story of the 2023 Maui Fire and it's Implications for the climate change by Dr. Miles Stones.   First of all, we are still to this day, August 20th, not only trying to find out the details of why this occurred, but still searching for loved ones that more than likely perished in the fire. It's all a horrific tragedy. Then out of the blue comes this daunting book published and on the market just two days after the fire had begun. With event's as it reads: It's narrative follows the sequence of events spanning from the 8th to the 11th of August, 2023, during which the conflagration ravaged Maui, forever imprinting upon the memories of those who experienced it and those who fought valiantly to contain it. Something is seriously wrong here with this picture.  How can a book be published on the date of August 10th, yet be written in the tim

Turkey Turds and Rainwater

November 16th, 2011 Looks as though the Kniolas are preparing for a holiday Thanksgiving, filled with plenty of turkey turds and rainwater! Yes, it's true, we now own two adorable, yet really ugly turkeys. I specifically rounded them up for my husbands birthday since it was coming up soon. I figured since they were only three months old, they would be small enough to hide until his actually birthday. Well, I was wrong! When I arrived to pick them up with my two youngest, I just about fell over dead. They already stood two feet tall! My mind swirled around in shock over their sizes as I wondered how was I going to fit them in this little box filled with hay? How was I going to drive them in my van if they flew around crashing into windows? I knew I was in for an interesting ride home. The boys helped me pick out just the right two as a flock of 12 to 14 other adult turkeys gobble, gobble, and gobbled some more as they followed their owners every move.

Humble Beginnings

Image
Raising four boys in this lifetime has not come easy. Now that I'm down to my last son in the home, I find myself trying harder than I ever, as to humble one's thoughts. His thoughts. Our young generation is struggling. Trying to keep up in today's world is just too much for these fragile young minds to handle. Heck, I'm 53 and I find it a struggle myself. Life is a different ball game in these trying years, but most important, we should tackle them hands on, the best we can.   What is humbling beginnings to me?  Well, if you look into our younger generation now, it's obvious it's all about them. They have no filters, they find themselves so caught up in one's self, they tend to lose value as to who they really are and to those who surround them. (If that makes any sense). I am here to humble those who get a little ahead of themselves, and I find I am doing that more and more with my youngest, Matthew.  Even his brothers are doing the best they can to guide
