    Hello, Publix....!! I did Publix this AM. Their Application Form internet tool opened at 9 AM. I got access five minutes later, after a number of screen refreshes. Form took two minutes to fill in and submit. Confirmation came back to me in an instant. I now have a Publix appointment this...

    Spring Break 2021 - canceled?

    Ohhh, boy! A list of a wave of superspreader COVID events. Fortunately for us, most of the springbreakers will be here and gone before they become infectious. Not so fortunate for the many towns and cities to which they'll be returning. Would not common sense from the Walton County BCC and...

    Walton County Vaccine Rollout Info & Updates

    Every time there is a "blurb" on the evening news, it only serves to generate more questions. From Jeff Goldberg, a few minutes ago: The COVID vaccination program is funded with federal (i.e., U.S.) resources and is a CDC (e.g., U.S.) program. I guess that means any Canadian snowbirds should...

    Hey, Kurt.. please don't "cancel culture" me(!) for "double posting", but I wanted to throw my out comments here, as well as in another SoWal thread. Here goes: Something to ponder..... how many formal announcements of vaccination strategy have we seen from Holly Holt? I've seen internet...

    Walton County COVID19 Updates

    Something to ponder..... how many formal announcements of vaccination strategy have we seen from Holly Holt? I've seen internet postings from the general public (most with second and third hand knowledge and/or assumptions) but WHERE is the formal, detailed strategy from the leader of this...

    Charles, I'm certain the politicians can come up with a simple, business-oriented solution. How about "rent a beach chair, and get a free COVID-19 vaccination".....?

    Walton County Vaccine Rollout Info & Updates

    Jim, I certainly agree with you. To me, it's a no-brainer. Let Walgreens, Publix, CVS, etc take over the distribution and vaccination, just as they do with flu shots. These businesses already have processes, practices and computer database tools in place for this sort of stuff. Let's see if...

    Some interesting "Moderna Math" related to the first delivery of doses..... Moderna calls for a second ("booster") shot 28 days after the first shot. That implies those SoWal'ers getting rollout shot this week will need the booster shot in early February. This obligates Moderna, Walton DOH...

    Walton County Vaccine Rollout Info & Updates

    Thanks, Teresa.... Was not aware the Application Form was just a band-aid fix put in place after the phone and internet links failed--and then removed once the vaccines ran out. Actually, a permanent on-line "take-a-number, you-will-be-served-when-your-number-is-called" approach would have...

    Walton County Vaccine Rollout Info & Updates

    Probably best to keep this thread focused on the mechanics of COVID vaccine rollout, to better understand this kabuki. Politics behind all this is a way, way, way different (and onerous) subject. I only have an advanced degree in weak force nuclear physics, so I have to keep the rollout in...

    Walton County Vaccine Rollout Info & Updates

    Deborsk. actually "not lined up for hours...." may not be entirely true. Harnessing my frustrations, I decided to drive by the SoWal office of the Department of Health. A number of us "gray hairs" were lined up to provide their names/phone numbers. Some have been on line for 60+ minutes...

    Walton County Vaccine Rollout Info & Updates

    Some "rollout".... I've been dialing the (850) 401-6453 COVID phone hotline (as recommended to schedule an appointment) for the last hour, and getting nothing but recordings (number has been disconnected, caller not accepting calls, etc, etc) or just dead air. Predictable and not surprising--I...

    Walton County COVID19 Updates

    So.... if I digest all the data, in Walton County (discounting the nine deaths in the long-care facility in DeFuniak Springs) there has been ONE DEATH in Walton County attributed to COVID since the onset of the pandemic....? And about 94% that test positive for COVID do not require...

    Interesting..... As of yesterday, there are TWO Florida health "Dashboard" posting COVID state and county statistics--and the two sides are wildly different.

    Cycling Routes Near Seaside/Watercolor and 30A

    Bluesman, you have my sympathy. I'm in from Colorado, and I miss the 30 mile "back roads" and the mountain passes at 10,000+ feet(!). My recommendation. Drive (car) across the 331 bridge. About a mile after "landfall" on the northern side of the bay, look for Black Creek Road (Rte 3280) on...
