Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

What do we make of this new, more infectious strain in England? Something to worry about? There doesn’t seem to be much about it right now. Apparently up to 70% more infectious though not more deadly.

this is a good read.... bottom line is it's hard to tell for now and it's even hard to tell if this really is a more infectious strain.


And a more specific update from some of the people looking into it:

Thanks for that, leaving this off my list of things to worry about then.
 
And that was a fail. A leader gave my manager some bad information. Glad I followed up before sending my team down.
It’s okay. My team is being scheduled and receiving it, I’m actually much happier they get it and glad I Guinea pigged on the info I was given because I would have felt awful if I had sent one of them into the cabal of confusion I wandered into.

Did you see the problems with the Stanford hospital. They were prioritizing older Dr. with attending permission, not the residents and nurses that have contact with the patients

State DHHS is in charge here and I’m okay with that. The only real problem with that is the UNC system received a larger allotment but I knew that was gonna happen anyhow.

the video is saw didn’t talk about state wide allotment. I know we are far down the line, but I wonder when the push for educators to get the vaccine will happen. CA is pushing for some Ed professions (Mine) to go back to work. My profession involves close extended (3-4 hours) with students.

I mean they put distribution in charge of the states. Everyone is going to use their own system and transparency. I didn’t see an official count, but I know how many the state got and I know how many we got and I know that given that information—— certain health systems got more (I also assume some got less - I would assume Watauga got less than us because they have less staff than we got vaccinations).

We got a significant number but it is a small percentage of our overall staff. I would also assume that those percentages actually extrapolate fairly well across the board.

Just saw a NYT article that said educators are next up.
 
How is this allowed to happen? And how many other states did this happen in that aren't yet reporting on it?

Pennsylvania tenants and homeowners missed out on roughly $108 million of $175 million in federal coronavirus relief because state programs distributing the funding made it too hard to access, Spotlight PA has found. The remaining money will be redistributed to the state’s Department of Corrections.

Over the summer, Pennsylvania created two new housing programs to spend money it received under the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act: $150 million for rent relief and $25 million for mortgage help. Thousands of struggling families applied up until an extended Nov. 4 deadline, as coronavirus shutdowns led to layoffs, lost wages, and missed rent and mortgage payments. Local governments and nonprofits administering the funds were inundated with phone calls and emails from people pleading for help with the demanding application processes.

Nonetheless, the deadline to pay out all $175 million was Nov. 30 and roughly $108 million was not used, according to the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, which oversaw both programs and was still finalizing the precise numbers on Friday.

this is why stimulus checks were the only answer. Just give money to everyone. The fraud and waste would be so insignificant compared to the security it would bring to the majority of people.

yep. Texas is sitting on $2 billion from CARES that expires on the 30th. moratorium on evictions ends on the 31st.

the governor has no problem dropping $5.8 million of taxpayers money on an inaugural party and bonuses, but getting money to people and organizations that are desperate is just so hard. /s
