Sunlight inactivates SARS-CoV-2 way faster than expected

This is one of our favorite places! We've been there multiple times over the years, though it's been a long time since our last visit. It's in Desert Hot Springs on a residential street, and you think you must have made a terrible mistake until you walk through the front door and are in love. They're fed by natural hot springs and cool the pool to something silly like 90 degrees and the huge tiled hot tub to 104.

Yeah, her pictures looked so alluring. Even better than the ones posted on their website. So cool that you've been there!

Now I'm anxious because I haven't gotten my confirmation email. I did make sure to screenshot my officially Booked screen with all the details, but when I tried to use that confirmation code through my Walgreen's account, the code was too long. So I presume there's some special code for Covid vax, but that's disquieting. I just hope they need a cycle to upload all the new appointments before they send out the confirmation email. (I'm used to automated instant gratification confirmation!)

DavidS, it took several hours for my confirmation email to come through from Walgreens. Don't sweat it.

When I showed up for my appointment, I only had to give my name, they didn't ask for the confirmation code or email. They did ask for my photo ID.

Same experience as dcp, David. It was making me anxious how long it took Walgreens to send me my confirmation emails, but the Walgreens app did show me my COVID-19 Vaccination appointments pretty quickly. I just took a look a the Walgreens website and couldn't figure out how to find my appointments until I went to the vaccination scheduler and an "Manage existing COVID-19 vaccination appointment" option finally showed up.

So are you saying that Trump was right about the tanning beds? Actually the part about using the rays in air filtration units sounded interesting.

Definitely understand appointment anxiety! I ended up with two appointments for my second dose, because it was supposed to be a Wednesday and as of Saturday they hadn’t made me an appointment, bu ‘‘twas volunteering and got someone to add me. And then they made me an appointment. Oops.

Tom, glad sunlight takes out the virus....it also takes out me (she says, from a shaded pool chair). I am so pale I can only take a little at a time!

Every year though I think “why don’t I just rent a house for a month in the winter??” Maybe next year my dog will be mature enough to trust in a rental house.

We took the dog with us to the AirBnB in NY for a couple weeks this past winter and it really added a layer of stress. Not super relaxing to have to worry about dog issues.

Thanks, dcp and shrift. Anxiety now erased!

I loved when we'd go to the beach and my BiL and SiL would bring their dog, because it meant 2 things: (1) unfettered dog access, and (2) not my responsibility.
