Forum Support Mike J Posted January 31, 2022 Forum Support Posted January 31, 2022 I was able to get my booster yesterday at the local covered basketball court. The chairs were set out in rows of five with reasonable spacing between each chair and each row. I arrived almost an hour early and was in row number six. The procedure was that as the first row emptied, all rows moved forward in the empty chairs. I had completed step one and moved into the second group and was watching the first group. A "kano" moved a chair into a sixth position on row number two. After just few minutes all the rows behind him starting to have six rows. Then a seventh chair was added to row two. Now when row one empties, there are not enough empty chairs so two folks remain in row two. Those folks get cranky and slide their chairs forward. The other chairs now slide forward to match it. In about twenty minutes the orderly position of chairs began to look like the worst economy airline seating you have ever seen. Some rows have 9 or even 10 chairs. Every row was pushed up right behind the next with knees touching the seat ahead. I can't help but wonder if I went to get a booster and became part of a "super spreader event" but at least I did get my Moderna booster. As the locals tell me; "Only in the Da Philippines". 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long line of people waiting an hour to get their booster and "helpers" coaxing everyone to move up close to each other because its cold outside and they wanted to get people from outside into the building. Unlike Philippines, we did not have chairs to sit on. Loads of grumpy seniors that day. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham59 Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Of course all the chairs are 'sanitized' in between occupants. Perhaps play some music and make a fun game out of the swappery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except they stop having fun with it when they reach about age six. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
