i can get the vaccine this week if i want, but i am torn.. i spoke to a dr friend of mine and he said the highest risk right now seems to be pregnant and very obese women as well as the immune surpressed.. they seem to get the sickest in his hospital... however, they have not had one death and although some of his patients have had to be heavily sedated and on a respirator for 10-14 days, they have all come out ok..

that seems to be worst case scenario outside of death of course which i am really not in the age group for that and i have a pretty strong immune system.

my concern with the vaccine is that this particular strain hasnt been tested for a long period of time.. although i think the majority of people will have no ill effects, i have to determine if the risk outweighs the benefit..

i will say this though, the medical community is worried about how this is multiplying and also about how thins virus will mutate..

maybe i will just flip a coin and let fate decide...
