greydog;
Good morning to you sir, I hope the air's clearing up in your part of the province and all else is going more than less according to plan.
It's interesting to read of your experience in the hospital, that's good to know some places in the province aren't overrun.
We were really slammed with fentanyl OD's here at Penticton hospital before the beer flu and I can't imagine it's any better now, but haven't been to the hospital in about 2 years now as my Mom and Mother in Law both passed so we're not there as often.
When Mom fell and broke her hip for instance, she went in for scheduled surgery at 10:00AM but didn't get the surgery until 5:00PM because the doctors were too busy with ODs... that from a very frustrated nurse who gave me that information when I went in to check on Mom.
Anyways, as 673 well said, I thing the most logical reason to get the shot is to minimize the strain on our maxed out healthcare system.
That and in my opinion if one ever wants to get on a plane and sit on a beach by a tropical ocean, shots will likely be required.
All the best to you all sir and good luck on your hunts.
Dwayne
