First Dose Appointment Hype

So the Hamilton County Vaccine online appointment system filled up, but never fear, you can call this number 423-209-5399 beginning at 8:30 a.m. and schedule an appointment. 
 
Well, over 200 attempts between my wife and I in the first 30 minutes resulted in hearing a busy signal over 200 times.  I continued to plug away but not continuously and finally two hours later I have given up after 166 attempts.  Never did hear a recording that all appointments are full, just a busy signal.
 
Gee, I wonder why people are getting a little cynical about our bureaucrats.
