Post-emptive ?
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

If we learned anything this ski season it's that the only way to deflect the traveling hordes is to match the shutdown level in their local hoods.

Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey
My local full service vet clinic, the one in Loomis, closed for 5 days because several staff tested COVID-positive. It makes sense that they closed, I think, but it’s a disruption that I hadn’t considered.
It was a coffee shop. They were spacey times, and she was in her early 20’s. She and I actually live near each other and we run into each other pretty often (less often these days, of course). I’ll try to ask her about it...

We've been digging these masks - $10, straps around the back of the head rather than the ears, and they use "copper-based antimicrobial technology". Not sure if the copper thing is BS or not, but they're comfy for the price.

Those look like they have a good seal all the way around.
Forgot to mention you if you live in or close to Potland OR you can go into the Stark's Vaccum store and buy masks. No need to order online.
Here's a Hawaiian company making fun masks. Don't have personal experience with this brand but I really l Iike prints. 3 layers, 100% cotton

I like this idea. I'd actually favor zero tolerance, but this will do (assuming they are actually going to enforce it):
Alaska Airlines plans to give passengers yellow cards for refusing to wear masks as a coronavirus precaution
Alaska Airlines is taking a page out of the soccer refereeing handbook in its bid to enforce in-flight mask-wearing rules amid complaints of passengers refusing to cover up.
Starting in early July, the airline will hand yellow cards to noncompliant passengers, advising them that it is their “final notice” and that a written post-flight report about them will be made. From there, if a passenger continues to refuse, it will be noted in the report and a decision could be made to ban the offending passenger from future flights.

^^^Coward move IMO. Why not a red card and put their name in their don’t-sell-them-a-ticket list?
Just reinforces my decision to not step into an airplane until I’ve been vaccinated.

Silver and copper both have antiviral properties. Whether they are effective against coronavirus in a commercial cloth mask I have no idea, and I suspect the people who make the masks don't know either. It would depend on the form of the silver or copper, how it is incorporated into the masks, and how much there is. But then we don't know anything--especially filtering efficiency--about the cloth masks we are making and buying. Doesn't mean we shouldn't buy or wear them--we should--but I'd like to see FDA start testing them, but then they probably have their hands full right now.

Young man whose whole fam tested posi returned to work
He said the flu/cold he caught back in late Dec kicked his ass way harder but the loss of taste and smell was odd
We're mandatory face coverings at work
Wife's got a few of her team on maternity leave and has been back to treating patients and her office a few hours a week
Scored her a god mask someone sewed and brought a bunch in to sell on consignment at the store
Box from dps showed up the other day unsolicited 2 face shields
Props to them she likes it better than goggles/glasses

At a title company they had me sign a Covid -19 document indicating I had not traveled had no symptoms. Etc.
My response was to ask them if they have traveled etc. and the smart fuckers were shocked I’d asked when they have me signing.

"Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech shows positive results"
The vaccine generated antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, and some of these antibodies were neutralizing, meaning that they appear to prevent the virus from functioning. Levels of neutralizing antibodies were between 168 and 267 units per milliliter, compared to 94 units per milliliter for 38 patients who had Covid-19 and recovered.

This is a good first step. Long way to go.

I'll have Covid odyssey to post if I ever get the fuck out of DFW and the clusterfuck of flights I've been on and have yet to endure while chasing down a covid vaccination that generates antibodies. Traveling is beyond fucked and the airlines be acting like they are just figuring it out at the expense of the hordes of people I have seen stranded like me.

Got a letter from Portland Parks and Rec yesterday
With facilities and programs closed since early March, we have missed months of the revenues that allow us to provide the recreation experience Portlanders cherish. This financial domino effect means that, as things stand today, we are likely unable to open pools and community centers, or offer classes, camps, and swimming lessons in Summer 2021 and beyond.
