We're trying to talk them into a child care center here since a large portion is separate from the manufacturing floor and accessible from the main entrance. There aren't enough 0-4yo places in town, usually a wait list to get in one. Company already has one facility for their main factory just 20 miles north of here and they have less employees.
I don't understand why you feel the need to say this. Like you're better or something for ignoring guidelines. My husband's job cannot always be done from home and went in. Because of that he actually avoided people as to not make others more at risk.
Even if religious services were not singled out anywhere, what I said is still true.
The CDC's own study that somebody posted here the other day concluded that not having a mask mandate led to less than a 2% increase in daily cases after 100 days. Not exactly the catastrophe that some think it is to drop them.
It depends on the county and what the elderly population is in relation to the total population. I think Desantis mentioned the other day that St. John's county had 80% of 65+ vaccinated. Palm Beach County is at about 55%. Palm Beach county is almost 30% 65+ which is much higher than most counties in the country and the Publix appointments disappear there faster than most places.
The pre-registration only works for State/County supported sites. For the pharmacy appointments, you have to book on the pharmacy website and they are all separate. It's a little cumbersome but as supply and availability of appointments increases, it won't really be an issue.
Get rekt, variants.
The negative speculative reporting about the vaccines and the effect on the variants needs to stop so this article is a breath of fresh air. My mom is fully vaccinated and now the click bait media has her worried about variants to the point where I almost yelled at her to get a grip.
Amen. My wife was late into her pregnancy when COVID hit and the fear peddling about an infant in Connecticut who died with (but not from) COVID was a disaster for her mental health.
Some weirdness going on in NY. I drilled into the top 18 counties by case count, so not just in the metro area of the 5 boroughs, but further out as well and all of them are flatlining on a 7 day trend. Daily, an uptick 2 days ago and down 1 day. Crossing my fingers it's some sort of lab issue causing this trend, but more time will tell.
Our governor (pressured by other Republicans after the Texas announcement) released a target today for removing masks and other restrictions. He targeted a caseload of 50 daily cases per 100,000 population (about 30% of where we're at today). At the current rate of decline, that would be 10-12 weeks from now, but predicting the future has been a fool's errand. Hopefully vaccination speeds up that timeline and new variants don't make it worse.
His announcement seemed to irritate people on both sides of the political spectrum, so it's probably a reasonable target be my estimation.It's certainly interesting to live in a state with a non-Trump, republican governor.
.........Alright?
@helenabear I could be wrong but I don't think he thinks that at all. I live in a state that is pretty open. Kids are in school , stores and restaurants have no real capacity, no state mask mandate but most wear one anyway so we have been living life as normal. I don't think I am better than anyone but I am grateful for my states sensible leadership .
