This list has zero correlation with my personal experiences or anyone I ever seem to talk to about this topic.  Chik fil A is so much  better than every single other drive through and it isn't even close.  Wendy's is mediocre at best and usually terrible.  Wendy's at the corner of Rt 33 and 161 in Columbus (across the street from HQ) isn't that good and it's the best Wendy's I've tested.  The caliber of people working at Wendy's vs. Chick fil A isn't close either.

Had my second dose of vaccine yesterday.  Woke at 230am shivering, body aches.  Had to tough it out at work all morning then have been in bed all day.  Multiple people at my hospital calling off due to illness after second dose.  Felt like the flu which I haven't had for 10+ years. Had moderna vaccine.

That's why I posted a study, because your "personal experience" proves nothing.

That jackass didn't even read the study.  They measured time to order to delivery, so all the time waiting for the 20 cars ahead of you to order didn't affect the results.

Drive thru mechanics really aren't that complicated and has a lot more to do with the staging and mechanics inside picking the order.  If they have to make fries, you're going to wait quite a bit longer

My experience with Wendy's is when I place an order - in an empty line mind you - they are holding the bag out the window by the time I pull up.  And that's been my experience all over the country.  Yeah, I've also been to some really bad ones where I had to wait but that's rare.

Good luck. My wife did better than me.  Just tired but no aches or fever.

I know my experience proves nothing.  That's why I called it my personal experience, nothing more.  To me there is no comparison between service at the drive thru at Chick fil A vs. Wendy's.  Your experience is obviously different.  But that's 'Merica.

Have you been to a good chick fil a? You order by iPad w 20 cars ahead of ahead of you. You might be the only person on the planet who doesn’t think Chick Fil a does it well. 

Back to the real thread, I’ve heard and read of multiple people with worse side effects from the 2nd one, including Fauci.

Wear 3 masks.

So, if I wear 4 masks does that make it like 95-99% efficient? 

I laughed when I first saw the two mask thing. It is hard enough to get people to wear 1 mask. Now saying, oh need to wear 2 now is just not going to happen with people.

I think four masks means you definitely won't get the 'rona.

Because you'll die of suffocation.

To follow up, I was in bed from 1130am yesterday- 545 am this morning. Went to bed at 930 with temp of 101.  Woke up to soaked sheets from night sweats. Temp gone, feel 80-90 percent.  Worked 630-530.  I'm tired but I'll be good to go after tonight.  Wife really had nothing. I had a coworker state second shot was same as the first. Who knows who gets ill and who doesn't.

All over the country.  Like I said, that survey backs up my personal experiences.  Chik-Fil-A is slow, and that contributes at least in part to their long lines.  Wendy's could theoretically service the same amount of customers in 8 hours as Chick-Fil-A does in 12.  I've pulled up to empty lines at CFA and it still took 2-3 minutes to get my food.

Wife tested negative. She had a PCR test done. She’s going to get a rapid test on Friday just to be safe.
