I’d been keeping my phone by me every hour of the day, so that when the call for a Covid19 vaccination appointment came, I’d be ready. Yesterday a call came, and the monitor on the phone said “This is Spam.” Not only did it say that, but the little span likelihood monitor was as far to the right as I’ve ever seen it, meaning it was the one call I ever received most likely to be spam. I ignored it, and, of course, it was the call for an injection appointment, the opportunity now lost for the foreseeable future. It has been a long time since I was so angry, so disgusted at gratuitous–and this time dangerous– cruelty.
