President Biden just said the CDC is making an announcement in the next hour or two but I missed the question. He's panning DeSantis and other governor's for banning mask requirements I think they're looking at doing an eviction moratorium through the CDC because Congress shat the bed.

POTUS says he's been meeting with constitutional scholars about what he can do about the evictions moratorium and they basically told him there's not a lot he can do that SCOTUS will uphold, but some say CDC might able to do it. POTUS says the litigation period will buy them time to finish distributing funds and to push states to actually use them.

Iβve been one of the biggest advocates for in person school in the fall after our experiences last year with it. But Iβll admit I think Iβm more nervous this year than last. And Iβm trying to find a freaking mask that Ds1 likes that heβll keep over his dang nose without a thousand reminders. DONβT GET ME STARTED ON THE LACK OF GUIDANCE

Well I saw a local rally happening next weekend about unmasking our kids. A local state rep is speaking and heβs running for sheriff. I just sent off an email about what I thought and told him Iβm making sure to share with all my friends that live in his district. Hopefully it does something.
ETA I forgot I belonged to a fb group related to Covid in his district. I posted it there.

Hmm, San Francisco to provide, on request, a supplemental mRNA shot to J&J recipients. I know a couple of people who got J&J during the crazy days when it was so hard to find a shot and you just took what you could find. My own internist told me to do the same. My friends would have prefered Moderna/Pfizer but there was no time to dilly dally. Looks like you have to go to one location to get the shot, but if this gains traction, there may be a fair amount of demand for an mRNA 'booster' all over the US. People vaccinated with the one-shot Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine will be able to receive a supplemental mRNA vaccine dose in San Francisco, the city's health department said. www.cnn.com/2021/08/03/health/san-francisco-supplemental-jj-covid-vaccine-booster/index.html

Sigh. One of my close CWers just tested positive. Sheβs vaccinated. Got a test bc sheβs having an EGD done tomorrow and they require pre procedure testing. Now sheβs wondering if the heart issues and GI issues sheβs been having is bc of covid or just a coincidence.
Iβm trying really hard not to freak out and trying even harder to remember if we ever ate at the same time in the last week or so.
Having a small panic attack.

addymac Iβm so sorry. I hope you are just fine and your coworker has a minor case. Remember the vaccine is very, very effective.

addymac, I think it's only human to freak a bit, and for your coworker to immediately think COVID is the root of her other symptoms. But - all of life's other ailments didn't stop due to COVID. And, at least for me, my endoscopy last related to symptoms I've been ignoring for years, bad me. Of course, when I had a little sore throat the next day I did think, OMG, COVID - and then reread my after care instructions which specifically mentioned a sore throat is possible. Hoping your coworker does find treatment for her GI issues, sounds like her COVID was asymptomatic as of the test date, so hoping that remains very minor, and that you and yours remain well. And that vaccine rates continue to go upwards - maybe we'll all feel a little better if we see those numbers do well.

Hugs addymac . If it were me, I would probably try to get tested just bc you have an unvaccinated little one at home. For peace of mind. Breakthrough infections are rare and you spend most of your time at work in a mask so you're likely to be fine!

The school board approved masks for everyone in all schools, daily temp and health screenings, no visitors, enhanced cleaning.
Iβm really curious about daily procedures like lunch/gym/recess, but this seems like they are just about doing the most of any school this fall, so Iβll take it.

Thanks, peeps. I am trying to find a test. My usual go to I canβt be seen u til Saturday and I want a test today because my sister is supposed to arrive on Friday and I donβt want to expose her if in fact I am positive.
But you are correct. Breakthrough infections are very rare. I feel like puking. Itβs gonna be fine. I feel like I should wear a mask around DS. I am exhausted. I couldnβt fall asleep until almost 2am last night, I was too wound up.

My town's two elementary school districts (don't ask why we have two) are requiring masks as well as the near by community college. I'm not quite sure about the high school district at this point. And who knows what the private schools are doing - and if what they say and what they enforce are the same thing.
All above subject to revisting if/as transmission rates change.

Granted that I voted for Pritzker first time around, and will do again. And I didn't loathe Rauner - could have been worse, IMO. But I'll give Pritzker credit for putting his reelection at more than 'regular' political risk with his handling of COVID.

Thank god for that ETA I've been contacting his office asking for this, so maybe that helped some.

I don't think he has the power to rescind it now that it's been passed, signed and effected. It would have to be amended (by the legislature?) or ruled unconstitutional by the courts. Incredible what might have happened if you'd listened to science in the first place, Asa.

WHO is calling for a moratorium on booster shots, citing global vaccine disparity. βWe cannot and should not accept countries that have already used most of the global supply of vaccines using even more of it while the worldβs most vulnerable people remain unprotected,β WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a Wednesday news conference, as the health organization aims for 10 percent vaccination coverage in every country within the next two months. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/08/04/coronavirus-covid-live-updates-us/

WE should be exporting more vaccines to disadvantaged areas.
