Don’t worry about the second vaccine dose being given early. It’s not so much the timing of the second dose, it’s that you received the second dose.

And yah. Myself and everyone else on my unit, we still wear the exact same PPE and don and doff the additional PPE as we did prior to vaccination. Maybe the only thing that has changed is our social interactions, like at break.

I seriously doubt that my employer is going to be changing the PPE policy soon. I’m thinking more likely 18 months. And yes, it’s extremely unlikely that a vaccinated individual could be a vector, but every time I think that we have a handle on this bastard, it pulls another trick.

Funny in a mordant sort of way that you should mention fire. I work, or am paid, for sixteen hours a month for Fire’s Office of Emergency Management (the other forty odd hours per month I do on a volunteer basis). Yet another thing that I picked up when I was a suburban housewife.

Anyway, yes. In a fire or structural failure or MASCAL or whatever, you get out whom ever you can without becoming yet another victim. You triage, you move past the dead or soon to be dead to save those that can be saved.

Then you debrief, hours or days or weeks later. We’ll be debriefing this one for a while.
