I think my area will but I think they will have massive pushback at least in my district if they didn't and NYC already said they're required

New guidance on summer camps and masking Excerpt from news story May 28, 2021 The new guidance says masks and social distancing are not required if everyone at the camp is fully vaccinated but said camps with unvaccinated campers or adults, including any camp for kids younger than 12 not yet eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, should still encourage or require masks indoors. linkI feel like no camps are going to have everyone vaccinated, because kids. DD1 is going to Girl Scout Daycamp and they're required to mask still, and we have to track her symptoms two weeks prior, so I feel pretty safe with having her go.

He has only stated that and that schools should be open full time as guidance so far. It’ll be a repeat of everything- guidance pushed out from chamber last second and everyone scrambles. 🤦🏼♀️

That's really my only concern for next year. Our cases should be decent by then

People are going to hear what they want to hear in that and not care of that age group cannot be vaccinated yet. ETA: "Require" is going to be completely glossed over/ignored because there was an alternative word offered. Our district already said masks will be optional. For everyone. I refuse to worry too much right now because there is nothing I can really do. I just hope summer goes ok and transmission rates are low enough it doesn’t matter.

Ugh, my mom just called to let me know my uncle has covid. Neither he nor my aunt are vaccinated, and I'm having a really hard time having much reaction that isn't centered on frustration and anger. They're in an high-risk age group with high-risk health history and in an area with abundant vaccination opportunity. I just...ugh. Apparently, while my mom was on the phone with my aunt, he was coughing really badly in the background. And get this- he hasn't seen his doctor for treatment!
I do not, not in the slightest, understand people like them willy-nilly playing Russian roulette with their health and covid.
I truly hope he gets proper treatment. I truly hope he recovers smoothly. I truly hope my aunt stays healthy.
I'm flabbergasted beyond measure.

I'm sorry Ls2012. I hope he makes a full recovery. And that this spurs him and your aunt to get their vaccines. I get super frustrated with people who won't get it too. But what can you do?

I'm self conscious about my rosacea so I always wear foundation if I'm going out. I don't always love wearing it but I also don't like looking vaguely feverish in a pandemonium I just went to my dermatologist and he prescribed me some prescription gel for my rosacea. I had never thought of it as fully needing that but honestly, the masking has made it more prone to flare up. I don’t know if I’ll always use the gel forever but it has helped with my face for now.

My friend’s adult son (18 years old) got the J&J shot and then tested positive for covid on day 10 post vaccine. He luckily had a mild case and apparently his biggest symptom was annoyance.

They were so close with the camp mask guidance. It’s nuanced and includes appropriate caveats. Then they had to throw “encourage” in there. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

A kid i grew up with (he's in his 20s) had a heart attack after his covid vaccine. He is doing ok but he does have some damage to his heart. They are now trying to see if it was vaccine realtors or if he had covid without knowing it. He didnt have any known risks factors or conditions that would lead to a heart attack in a 20 something. It's crazy.

This is actually an economic indicator ( I may have mentioned this before)! It's one of my favorites; increased sales is a strong indication of a recovering economy. I also like to cite the Men's underwear indicator ( when men stop buying undies it's a baaaaad sign). I think there's something about heel heights and hemlines too, right? Like higher heels trend in bull markets?

I use rx metronidazole cream for my rosacea every day twice a day and it helps immensely.

It's not great, Bob 'Vietnam’s Health Ministry announced Saturday that it had detected a highly transmissible new variant of the coronavirus that has helped fuel a recent wave of covid-19 infections in the country. Genetic sequencing indicated that the new variant was a mix of the coronavirus strains first detected in the United Kingdom and India, said Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long, according to the VnExpress newspaper. The minister said that the new variant was particularly contagious via air and that viral cultures have revealed that it replicates extremely quickly, the newspaper reported. “The new variant is very dangerous,” Long said in a statement. The Health Ministry didn’t return a Saturday afternoon request for comment. Scientists said that further study was needed to determine the effect of a variant in “real world settings.” Vietnam detects highly contagious new coronavirus variant as infections surge By Katerina Ang www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/05/29/vietnam-hybrid-variant-covid-virus/

In one week on the 7th of June Germany opens vaccinations up to everyone. But unfortunately we still have a vaccine shortage so the chances of getting an appointment within the next month or two are really really low. A lot of doctors have already said their waiting lists are full until the fall.
Every week we're told new promises that just absolutely aren't being met. It's a real disappoinment.

Today is the first day we are allowed to take kids into the daycare for drop off and pickup. Since mid March 2020. I'm just hoping they keep up the masks after mid June. Ugh.

adelbert, I'm sorry. It's so frustrating when a tier is opened and it doesn't match supply. I hope the supply ramps up quickly and actual appointments become available.
