    Here in Texas, we had a last springlike day before the cold front hit tonight  (down to 40F at night!).  So I took a long hike and just got back online.  Haven't checked the news yet, anything going on?

    Also in Texas, my mother got her first Covid vaccine shot yesterday.  It was dispensed by the local grocery store pharmacy that also dispenses flu shots.  She goes back for the second after a few weeks.

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,069

    Wow! The grocery store!

     

    I can just imagine it... a block of butter, one pint of milk, a packet of ginger nut biscuits and a COVID  shot thanks...  to go!

    let's hope the vaccine works for us all... we won't be getting it till around March or so. 
     

    maybe they should just add it to beer and open up the pubs... everyone will be done in 3 days!

    I can see the police cars out my back window.

    "DEER PARK, Texas (KTRK) -- A daylong SWAT situation continues to unfold into Friday evening after authorities attempted to serve an eviction notice to a resident who threatened to shoot deputies, Deer Park police say.

    It started around 9:30 a.m. when deputies with the [Harris County] Precinct 8 Constable's Office were in the area of P Street and Park Glen in Deer Park to serve a court-ordered eviction.

    Authorities say that when deputies contacted the resident through the front door, he said he was not coming out, racked a shot gun and threatened to shoot them.

    Precinct 8 called for assistance from Deer Park police. Both agencies are working to end the SWAT situation safely."

    I have been through the Deer Park Citizen's Police Academy, including an 8 hour ride along with DPPD officers.  Part of the twelve week course was a demo of the DPPD SWAT team.  They can handle this.

    Curious. I am hearing different things. Do you have to use your insurance or Medicare or pay for the vaccine in the US?frown

    My mother got the vaccine for free.  She did have to prove her eligibility to get the vaccine.  She showed some documents that may or may not have included medical documents.  I can ask her.  But the vaccine is free, at least in Dallas.

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,069

    The vaccine when available is totally free for everyone downunder smiley

    After a little searching, this is what I found for the US.

    The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has a frequently asked questions site.  Copying and pasting.

    https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/faq.html#Getting
    Who is paying for COVID-19 vaccine?
    Vaccine doses purchased with U.S. taxpayer dollars will be given to the American people at no cost. However, vaccination providers will be able to charge an administration fee for giving the shot to someone. Vaccine providers can get this fee reimbursed by the patient’s public or private insurance company or, for uninsured patients, by the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Provider Relief Fund.

    From this, I would conclude that my mother showed her medical documents to satisfy paperwork for the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Provider Relief Fund.  Had she been uninsured, the vaccine would still have been free, but the vaccine provider would have checked a different box on paperwork for the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Provider Relief Fund.  US people can get free vaccinations.

    I am 71 years old, in good health. My wife is 69 years old, who takes blood thinners for a rare heart condition. The city of Houston Health Dept. today offered vaccinations for those 65 years old and up. We signed up online and drove down to Minute Maid Park, the baseball stadium. Surprisingly, it was well organized, dozens of employees directing traffic, parking, filling out forms, and keeping order in the long lines. But a couple of hours later we both had our shots. Houston can be a pretty good place to live.

    I am glad to hear that about the US as I still have elderly relatives and some my age there!  yesheart  Silene

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    does the vaccine mean quarantines are over and no more shutdowns?  and no more masks soon?

    no one is saying if the vaccine has side effects.  the flue shots make me feel ill for a few days

  • Steve KSteve K Posts: 3,235

    Some people have mild effects from the vaccine, headache, achiness, sore arm, but only for a day or two.  All I have is a slightly sore arm.  I still have to wait a month and get a second shot, then I think the protection needs another month to get to full.  Then the younger folks have to get vaccinated ... Dr. Fauci says we may get back into theaters in the fall.  So still a ways to go ... frown

    me too even using spaz studio because it crashes if I try to use those spiffy looking FACS controls devil 

    and I had to make my own crappy mimic file as they haven't given us one

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    more like renamed it I reckon

    ( yet iClone uses the exact same bones for facial)

    yes can pose in the viewport if you have a computer that doesn't crash D|S 

    I may try a Carrara BVH export of Carrara mimic on Veronica wrath G8F as reckon that might work

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    i still on ds 4.8  lost all track of pose features in subsequent ds

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    it looks like facs can drag the erc controls in the preview window, insted of rotating the individual bones?

    ia that what the feature is?
