Michael is the host of Sunday Writing Prompt this week
This week write a story in which there is cause for a crowd to gather.
♾♾♾
A large crowd gathered at the vaccination center. They weren’t supposed to be there as it wasn’t their turn to get the vaccines but a rumor had been circulating that if you show up at the center, you will be given a jab.
The administrator walked out, in full protective gear and shouted out to the crowd, ” Please go home. When it’s your turn, you will be informed via a message or an email. Rest assured that everyone will be vaccinated. Just give us time to do it methodically. Gathering in large numbers is only going to spread the disease faster. Please go home now”
People started to disperse quietly, and the administrator heaved a sigh of relief. There was no way they could provide vaccines to all these people. He prayed that the promised supply would arrive soon.

I may be aging myself but here goes. In my memories, crowds would gather for outdoor concerts and benefit concerts.

I know, that was the way before we had to necessarily change our lifestyle.

You’re right, it is. Thanks

I think everybody there should have gotten a jab. I don’t like how they are keeping people in limbo. So many who were eligible at first declined it which left many doses unused and/or spoiled. Every spoiled dose could have protected someone.

You’re absolutely right. More people should have been vaccinated by now. Thanks Li

I know that is the situation in my country, in some centers. Hopefully more people get their jabs.

I’m very patient for the vaccine. I’m not worried about getting it soon. I haven’t worried about catching the kootie either. I stay as safe as possible.
I *would* like to go to outdoor concerts again soon though 🎶💃🏼

You’re staying safe and taking all due precautions. But we can only get back to previous lifestyle if most of the population is vaccinated.

Yep. I’ll definitely get it, but I’m not worrying about having to wait til it’s open to everyone. I’ve signed up to be notified when it’s my turn😉

Over here it’s just the frontline workers and above 60 who are getting it now. I hope my turn comes soon.

I think we just have to get use to repeated vaccines and accepting that some things need to change. Be done differently

Rumors are never a good thing. Here ‘shots’ are by appointment only. And further divided into categories. I’m on two lists… there is a hope that many will be vaccinated soon. But there are still some who are refusing to get vaccinated.
People must realize that what ever shot they get – it is only to help you recover quicker than you would if you hadn’t had it. So those who don’t get vaccinated can still be carriers. We still need to take precautions. Considering the variants that are appearing. I just read that a third variant popped up in Italy. People need to be patient. The Spanish Flu took a full three years to resolve. And we are only (depending on your area) into year one with Covid.

I agree Jules! We would still need to take precautions and not think that the vaccine is going to fix everything.

The demand is definitely outweighing the supplies so far. I hope that changes
